Susan in TN Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I'm so tired. It will be nice to sleep in my bed instead of on a sofa with a restless pup in the room. It's a nighty-night booyah! Good Night, Dawn. May the Great Snapping Turtle whisk you away to Dreamland, where Orcas play in pristine lakes of blue. And cabana boys are on-hand to fulfill your every whim.

KrissiK Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Back from church. Not as many preschoolers there tonight and they were much calmer. It was a better evening. Getting ready for the next set of atmospheric rivers. They’re predicting a couple of doozies. We live near the river, but we’re higher up than other places near the river, so I am not too worried. I am a little worried about my aunt and uncle, though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 That dancer's arms look very long. Maybe the outfit does something with her proportions. Ds has been so sad. Finally gave him benedryl and ice pack and he went to sleep. He has another Dr appt scheduled tomorrow at the same time as other ds's class. So dh will have to help. Dinner was awesome except I still taste garlic. I had baklava which is not great since I didn't do a full workout since my left hamstring is incredibly sore. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Morning, Happy Thursday. My end of week is busier than usual. Today 3 classes, 4H club, and accountant for taxes. Tomorrow 1 class, ds's driving test (but dh is taking him), and dd's TKD test. Saturday parade. Except we have a Winter Storm Advisory for 2-4 inches of snow so we will have to see if it still goes on. I'd rather march in snow than rain but if they can't get it cleaned up in time, I'm sure they will postpone. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Good morning! The Kids are off to tutorial and I am sitting here with my coffee debating whether or not to go to Bible study. My face is all puffy and my eyes hurt - probably the result of a day of driving and eating junk and drinking a large root beer. We'll see how things look after coffee. The pup ate all his food last night - I put extra in his bowl because he hadn't eaten anything for a couple days. I think he's glad to be home. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 So, here's a different kind of hula video: Hawaian public school students doing a name song to King David Kalakaua; you'll recognize the second one as the opening song in "Lilo and Stitch," which was based on the existing chant that the students do first. Such a difference from just one or two generations ago, when the Hawaiian people were "not allowed" to speak their own language, and before that when hula was strongly discouraged, even though it is how the Hawaiian people kept their history, told their love stories and war stories, and generally kept their culture. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a Tai Chi student take hula, so I am not sure. The strangest thing to me is people who canNOT hear/feel the beat of the music. They cannot hear the beginning of the song and count to 8 and start dancing. I have to give them other clues ("When you hear this word your right hand should be *here*.") It's puzzling to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it work with a former church? Did you withdraw membership? We quit attending former church during covid but never did a formal withdrawal... just began attending other places after covid. We were happy covid gave us the excuse to part ways because we wanted to leave... but it is awkward. We love the new church but are a bit hesitant to join.

We quit attending former church during covid but never did a formal withdrawal... just began attending other places after covid. We were happy covid gave us the excuse to part ways because we wanted to leave... but it is awkward. I withdrew via a letter addressed to the minister (who I hadn't actually met, as I stopped attending a couple of months before he arrived) in November 2019 when I formally joined Current Church. People on the committee I led knew I was church-shopping several months before that. I have asked FC multiple times to stop contacting me about anything except the class DS is in this school year. The new lead minister finally got me off their email list, apologized, and explained that my spouse had been listed as a "friend of the congregation" under the same email. (DH has always belonged to a different church and had no interest in FC.) We do not have any other connection to FC, and I have things related to DS's class going to my school email. I have no idea how I (but not DH) got put back on the pledge mailing list. I have never gone back to a worship service or meeting, and only once or twice for events open to the public (because Current Church and DH's Church do interfaith work that FC is also part of). Any time somebody invites me to check out a different church (like the one down the street), I'm like, Bro, you have no idea how many churches we already have, let alone how many I've visited.... Are you still getting mail/email from the church you no longer attend? And do they have to report membership numbers for denominational purposes or anything?

73349 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) DS is off to his camp-out. Nerves were starting to get to him for a little bit there, but he could see that he had everything he needed and was with people he trusts. He's riding with (in addition to 2 younger scouts and one his age) his SPL and the SPL's parent, who was DS's Cubmaster back in the Cub Scout days. I could tell he was relaxed by the time they were getting in the van. Edited March 10, 2023 by 73349 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
