Susan in TN Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 We are back from the Old Lady Party. There is one lady who talks nonstop about being worried about her sister and/or nieces and describes so many violent methods of being murdered. Poor thing. And eventually I have to interrupt her to tell her it's time to sing "You Are My Sunshine". I was glad to see Joe there. He was a "radio man" back in the 30's and 40's and loves to sing. He always wears a yellow cardigan. :) I forgot about the 40lb bags of hardwood fuel pellets (bunny and rat litter) in the back of the van. Anyone want to haul them up? We're having Pakistani Kima for dinner. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 A nurse doing an exam for a life insurance quote just left. I got poked and since I'm at home instead of by my doctor's where I usually get blood taken, I don't get my reward doughnut afterwards for being a good, brave girl. It's not fair! :crying: 🩠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Oh, the funny singing lady was there too! She sings at the top of her lungs in the correct key but an entirely different song. While we sang Down in the Valley, she was singing Jingle Bells. And then when we were singing Amazing Grace, she was singing You Are My Sunshine. :lol: She is such a hoot. And probably on some medication that makes her feel free and happy. :D 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still crying. But it scares the crap out of me and when am I going to find the time?

Critterfixer Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Crying is just as often a sign of frustration as anything else, at least it is for me. I'm seldom ever anxious, but if I cry in front of someone, you can bet I'm simply frustrated with a problem that is defying my ability to solve it on my own. Nothing to do with anxiety at all for me. I've always been that way. Edited February 2, 2018 by Critterfixer 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It also probably didn’t help when she had dd pick out a toy for each family member to play with in a sand box and then dd spent the whole time burying mine in a “nice little burrow†with an airhole. I was just dying inside. 🤦ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸ I don't know why you'd think that's bad. Maybe she recognizes your desire for quiet time (totally understandable with a herd of small children.) Or she was making for you your very own Hobbit Hole (which would be fabulous.) Sounds loving to me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I want to snack on all the things. But I didn’t. I just had one of those “Sargento Balanced Break†things with a tiny amount of cheese and an equally tiny amount of trail mix. Which is why I buy them instead of making them myself. I would give myself more if I had my druthers. (Which leads me to ask who has my druthers?

Slache Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Are they claiming everyone descended from Ishmael is an honorary retrospective Muslim or something? Wiki: Jethro was a Druze priest.

Slache Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 More complicated than that. I think we just know about Jethro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Huh, the wiki pg I just looked at said Islam was one of the things they drew from but they aren’t considered Muslims except in Egypt. Also, it sounds like they just incorporate lots of diffetent beliefs they come in contact with, including Hinduism and Neoplatonism, etc. Yes, but if you dig around it says something about it originally stemming from Islam. I looked around quite a bit, which is how I drew the Jethro was a Muslim conclusion and gave up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Speaking of minority middle eastern religions, I had a friend when I lived in California who was Mandaean.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Wikipedia is not a valid research source for a reason. The source for who Jethro is, is the Bible. It says that he’s a priest if Midian. It doesn’t say more than that. You can extrapolate a bit by looking at the Canaanite religions in the region at the time, but that’s it. I will 100% say that he was not Muslim because Islam wasn’t even a religion yet. Now I have to go out -again.

Paige Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 IIRC, Jethro was a Bedouin so he would have likely had a traditional religion like the rest of them or possibly Zoroastrianism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My official answer to that question is, “I don’t know†But, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he could have worshipped Jehovah.

KrissiK Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 EdPo We went on a field trip this afternoon. There is a traveling exhibit about the Japanese Internment during World War 2. There is/was a large Japanese population here and most people my parents’ age know people who went away. My dad’s family farmed/took care of their Japanese neighbor’s land for them until they came back. It was very interesting. There was even a veteran there, who group up in the town, who was in the 442nd regiment and he spoke with us about his life and experiences. It was a very interesting afternoon. Oh, and we got ice cream. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that should matter, but we are talking about fafsa, so you never know. I also remember having issues with needing to have all different email addresses for all involved parties, and possibly different parent emails for each student?
