Critterfixer Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ezra is boring. I'm teaching Ezra to the teens at church. I am working hard to try to make it relevant but really - it's boring. It's a Boring Ezra Booyah. (No disrespect meant to Ezra who I'm sure worked very hard writing all of this down.) Maybe Ezra needed a good editor. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Maybe Ezra needed a good editor. :D I was complaining to dh and he, trying to use the Socratic method on me, asked "Why do you think that Ezra wrote all those genealogies?" I told him "because he wanted to be boring." #don'ttrytoSocraticmethodme #boringisboring 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Um... I read the Book of Ezra earlier this year and found it fascinating. :leaving: I made a note on my reading log to re-visit it if I finish the OT before the end of the year. Now, that is not likely to happen as I am way behind in my reading. #migraines #neednewglasses Instead of getting new glasses, I ordered a Bible with larger print. It just came in the mail on Friday. I don't have much hope for catching up though. (Instead of reading through the Bible in a year, I read through the Old Testament or the New Testament. On NT years I can sometimes read through twice.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that it gets better. We've only done two chapters - of genealogies. And tallies of how many horses, camels and donkeys they took with them. They took a lot of donkeys. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 DH and I went to buy a new washer with a plan. We had a plan to get the special deal and bring it home today because ours is broken. And....we left spending almost $150 more than the plan and it won't get here until Friday. :confused1: What happened to my plan? I blame my weakness on my cold. So many details....nod and smile...try not to cough...buy all the things. It will be fancy and shiny, though. I need pants. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 ((Paige)) I was happy with everything until I got home and realized- OMG, we spent so much money and I have no pants! They didn't have what we wanted in stock or we would have brought it home. DH is the type to want to spend more now on the nicer product and I'm a super cheapskate. I wanted the fancy features too (who doesn't?), but thought we should stick with the sufficient model. He was like- just get the one you really want. And I did for once. I have regrets, because cheapskate. DH has none because he's a happy spender. I'm sure I'll be happy when I use it. Spending money makes me nauseous every time. He said we'd keep it for 10 years and 150/10 is only 15 extra a year; just over $1 more a month. He's right, right? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Isaiah is my favorite book. I read a chapter every day. And when I finish I start over. Of course I read other stuff, too. Isaiah contains 66 chapters. The Bible contains 66 books. The first 39 chapters of Isaiah are about Israel’s need for a savior. The first 39 books in the Bible are about the world’s need for a savior. The last 27 chapters of Isaiah are about redemption for Israel. The last 27 books in the Bible are about redemption for the world. There is approximately a 40 year gap between the first 39 chapters and the last 27 chapters of Isaiah. There is approximately a 400 year gap between the first 39 books and the last 27 books of the Bible. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The Winter's Tale was wonderful - the kids loved it and ds12 said he cried (just a little!) at the end. Dd8 is still crying a little because she fell asleep and missed the queen statue at the end (we woke her up for it but she fell back asleep). I have declared that no one is allowed out of bed before 7:30am. Good night! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 How do you sear up aromatics? If you don't have shallots can you use a mild onion? A little hot oil in the skillet, chop the aromatics up and get them a bit brown. I like shallots better than onion for pan sauces. I suppose you could use a mild onion, but I'm not sure it would be the same. Probably tasty though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
