I was actually thinking about it.... Will try.. 👍

It would be great if we had a video of each account we are studying in the CBS. Do you have one of Jericho?

Don't know whether there are musical sardines, but I know of a piano tuna

The dragon was spitting fire in the first video, so I had to put out his fire…😄

.

If the Tampa Bay Rays win tonight they will be playing the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series. I have a sudden craving for beer battered seafood...🤣

Wow, it's impressive that it can recreate that account. Good job!

I live in senior apt complex. Ground floor living. Very small 550 sq ft. No garage. There are 9 witnesses here and several more on the waiting list. The manager is also a witness but I would not have known it without her telling me. Very aloof, not warm friendly like I am use to. I have way to much stuff for the space I have. But I have bought a rocket stove that would cook off liquid sterno. I bought a bed tent so when I loose electric for heat my Poppy and Maggie Mae and I can stay cozy and warm. I have two Tupperware type totes that I have dry food in. They are large like 2.5 ft long by 2 ft tall approx. I hate what little space I have no longer feels homey and pretty but looks like a old lady hoarder. I have gone to all the friends and told them where I live so we all know where to go, who to trust. I know my neighbors. Alma who lives directly behind me is a character. She looks like granny Clampett but smokes weed like Willie and Snoop. I do believe she could smoke them under the table. I thought weed makes you hungry but it looks like she does not eat at all. Yes Granny Clampett described her size, stature and shuffling gait. Instead of a shotgun she totes bear spray holstered on her hip and a life alert hanging from her neck. In just under one year that I have been here she has been to the hospital 3 times. She asked me if I ever 'got a good look at our fire men (department)? I said no I am sure they look good. 🤪 It never hurts to have an attractive face to look at as all muscle and brawn lift you to what might be your final destination. Our maintenance man cautioned me to avoid her baked goods because she gave him a gummy candy that put him in the dirt. I do believe the GT will be very interesting in my neck of the woods. I also bought heavy contractors bags to put in bathtub and hopefully can have enough notice to fill them up with water and they are used as a bladder to hold a 55 gal bag of water. Life straws and a solar batter. I've thought about small freezer but just no space. I must rely on Jehovah for the rest. I pray for all our friends everywhere that we stick tight like Velcro.

It didn't come out well as I expected... gemini_generated_video_cd781563.mp4

I was going to use beef stew as my password. But apparently it wasn't stroganoff 😳

We also have canned foods and packaged dry foods , all stored in plastic containers in our garage (no room for a car). We hope to be able to store enough for 3 or so days, and hold quantity for at least another 2 - 3 people. In our road and the adjoining one, there are 24 brothers, including 5 under 10. If we all did the same in terms of storage, we could also help our neighbours, who are not as likely to be so well prepared.

I keep cans of sardines and tuna around on a shelf.

We have canned food and other necessities in plastic containers but I also purchased marine emergency rations that are very small and have a long shelf life. We have some in the to-go bags and in the vehicles just in case.

We are now being told by both our organisation and our governments to store food etc for 3 days plus, depending where we are living I know that many Americans have huge houses often with cellars and can easily store things… but most of us in other countries either have small apartments or houses, so space is limited I’m thinking of storing things under the bed etc… I don’t have lots of food here but I’m trying to buy extras as I can So where are you storing food? i need to keep things away from mice and because the house is very damp all dry goods will need to be in a sealed container

Meanwhile in my world I’m still trying to decide whether I buy tea bag’s or potatoes 😆

A lot of countries are now bringing in curfews to try and bring back law and order… they’re rioting over many different things, food shortages, schools, economy etc, but one thing is sure that it’s spreading through Europe It must be so frightening for the friends caught up in this, maybe unable to leave their homes etc It’s good to keep them all in our prayers.

Peace & Security

Protest is finish.

In some countries in Europe they eat without letting the guest eat with them! Or they let them eat and then bill them at the end for literally every slice of bread etc. We definitely don't want to do that to guests ourselves 😅

-if the resurrection of the righteous is a repayment, then it must be different from the resurrection of the unrighteous, who are not being repaid. Perhaps the difference is that the righteous are resurrected first, and that is a benefit in some material or spiritual way. -is Jesus referring to earth or heavenly resurrection? The next verse mentions the Kingdom of Heaven, so it could be heavenly.Only the righteous are resurrected to heaven, so maybe the reward is being in heaven -what does it cost to be hospitable today? Money, time, effort, a self-less spirit. You will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous. What about during the NS? Will you be repaid for hospitality then or is it not necessary? If the purpose of hospitality today is to relieve a need, then will there be no need for repayment in the NS because no one will be in a state of deprivation? Will hospitality be purely about socializing and thus no further repayment will be necessary? Is this verse primarily about not letting your brothers go hungry?

Google says “At its true core, hospitality is the practice of making others feel genuinely welcomed “ It goes further than spreading a meal. We need to have a genuine interest in others , especially the “ lesser ones” of the congregation who may easily be overlooked. It is certainly not done with thought of getting something back. Jehovah hospitably invites us to talk to him in prayer .

I understand where you are coming from. Ai is a very divisive subject, particularly due to YouTube etc being flooded with music generated artificially by people with no musical skills or knowledge. Most of my songs were originally created between 1980 - 1990, so everything was recorded by real singing and playing, and it has taken me a long time to accept that Ai could be a useful tool. It would be interesting to know how many professional studios use AI in some sort of way. However, at the end of the day, Ai should not be a substitute for real musical talent.

I am a songwriter, and I would absolutely never use AI for songwriting, performance/recording or arrangement. Never! I absolutely abhor that idea. I compare (liken?) 'connecting' to an AI-song to hugging a doll. It could work, but I prefer someone who hugs me back, like music made and played by real people. Then what about drum machines?? 🤔 They've been around like forever. Hmmm. Since I am not a sound technician, chatgpt has taught me how to go about stuff in Presonus. Like, how to insert an equalizer into a channel, and how it works. Like a private tutor. My DAW Presonus Studio One 3(!!) has zero AI 😆 (Sometimes old is gold 🥰 ) I don't need creative suggestions from AI, since I am full of them, haha. Why outsource the fun part of making music? ❤️ Now, I send my mixdowns to a sound engineer for mastering before release to Spotify etc. It has never dawned on me to even ask him whether he uses any AI. I appreciate your question, because I will pass it on to him. Thank you! 💐 I hope you figure out where/how you want to share your music. Have you had a look at DistroKid?

This is how a real roll looks like: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DepmRS_vMw8/?srtk=Y2Q0bWlnaGRjZnk3 (Paris, October 18th)
