Nice day here. Just relaxing and doing some admin work on the board where I am part of the "staff". The link is on my profile, I think, and my profile there links to here. There's some folks there who like my writing.



Of course the folks like your writing. No surprise to me. I am happy you have hooked them up here.

I am so upset with the horror of mass shooting has become part of your country. Very sorry. Thank goodness there is a chance of getting rid of automatic weapons in your legislature.

Thank you, Gypsy. I'm feeling much better. I had a good night's sleep. Now the coffee is on for anyone that needs a cup.



I am so glad you got a good nights sleep. You certainly needed it after the night you had before. I will be waiting to hear when you have your appointment with your regular doctor.

Sun out this morning and a beautiful day to pull weeds, walk and pick flowers for the house . False Forget-Me-Knots are beautiful and very tiny but the color is not to be found on another blue flower.

I hope to enjoy the weather as we are getting up to 2" of rain starting in the morning and lasting two days. My brother lives in Tucson and they are to be 104F. I feel for you folks out in the desert unless you have cooling. Not time to do outside work if you don't have to.

Sara, so neat about the library e-book app, I will have to look into that. Meanwhile I am so glad there is still a macadamia nut cookie left. And I won't pass up the broken pieces of the cheery cherry coolies. You are the best baker I know.

*Outside religious contexts, come to Jesus refers to a meeting or moment where one undergoes a difficult but positive and powerful realization or change in character or behavior.
*The definition according Jargondatabase.com: "Come To Jesus Meeting" "A time when a polite ultimatum is given, generally followed by a less polite ultimatum, then a threat. Drug and alcohol "interventions" are often referred to as "Come to Jesus Meetings"."
*The phrase evidently emerges from 19th-century Christian revivalism, which pushed for personal conversion to Christianity—to turn away from the devil and save their souls by coming to Jesus. In the early 1900s, come to Jesus described the clothing worn by these preachers (e.g., a come-to-Jesus collar).
*They better have a come to Jesus meeting in the locker room cause this is not working out
*By the 1970s, the expression had become a metaphor for a transformative meeting or moment—like a hard talk, a wake-up call, facing the facts, an intervention, seeing the light.

'We are 11 days into self-isolation and it is really upsetting me to witness my wife standing at the living room window gazing aimlessly into space with tears running down her cheeks. It breaks my heart to see her like this. have thought very hard about how I can cheer her up. have even considered letting her back into the house... but rules are rules.'




So very sad and hysterical.
