  1. Yesterday
  2. I would be lying if I say it was not chocolate.
  3. Hey! I play online games. Looking for more people to play with
  4. They are trying to build one not far from me - the locals have put up signs to protest against it.
  5. Did the destination folder get protected by a virus program? It may not be able to write to the folder.
  6. The program is now available in all separate videos.
  7. Have you ever looked at a site called Chair-ish? Unique pieces of high end furniture that is in California. The other site is First Dibs. Still too expensive for me but love to dream.
  8. The one i am giving away or the one I fell in love with? The blue sofa is a tweed dark blue and grey performance fabric. It is less than a year delivered on Nov 25 last year. But the other , oh my , I know it's more of a conversation piece and believe me if I could have bought it I would have . Just can't see spending that much even if I had it. Its a over size round chair with the half moon ottoman that slides up against it. The table drops down and slides back out of way. There is a young sister who was married recently that is eager to give the kids a new home. She just needs to wait till I get something I kind delivered.
  9. Wednesday, October 7 Remember those who are taking the lead among you, who have spoken the word of God to you.—Heb. 13:7. Whenever Jehovah gives his people an assignment, he expects them to carry it out in an organized way. (1 Cor. 14:33) For example, it is God’s will for the good news to be preached in all the inhabited earth. (Matt. 24:14) Jehovah has put Jesus in charge of that work. Jesus has seen to it that it is carried out in an organized fashion. In the first century, as congregations were established in various places, elders were appointed to give direction and take the lead. (Acts 14:23) In Jerusalem a central body of elders, consisting of the apostles and older men, made certain decisions that all the congregations were expected to comply with. (Acts 15:2; 16:4) As a result of their obedience to the instructions they received, “the congregations continued to be made firm in the faith and to increase in number.”—Acts 16:5. w24.04 8 ¶1
  10. Gas prices in SF today, looks normal for California
  11. Directions, while very useful, are considered optional by many who prefer DIY
  12. I am having an issue with the Library for windows. It is currently Oct 2026. My JW Library randomly stopped downloading pubs, vids or music. I can download jpub files from .org and open them in Library, but the program cannot download them natively. The odd thing is, It will stream videos and audio without downloading. I have tried all the tranditional stuff, My folders are default, ive checked my firewall, dns, registry and the like. I have removed the entirety of JWLibrary with REVO in hunter mode. I have reinstalled, imported my old backups, and still no change. I've uninstalled all programs that Ive installed near or around when it stopped. Ive updated all drivers and have a wired internet conn. The only thing Ive not done is uninstall the last windows update. Its not super important as I have my phone and tablet that work fine, but the Windows app has got me in a tizzy. Ive asked around and i dont have anyone else with the same problems. Before I do a full reload, (and waste the entire day) does anyone have and Idea whats going on? The system is an AMD proc (Ryzen 7-5700) in an Asus Tuff B550 board. Geforce RTX 3060 8g vid. 32G of 3200 DDr4 ram, WDBlue NVMA, 2 good ole HDDs. Wired connection to Xfinity using Realtek 1g net card. If more info is needed, I talk the talk so message me and I'll update as needed. Thanks in advance. Trav.
  13. Back slash is in common use, but forward slash is referred to without a preceding direction.
  14. My Wife and My Mother-in-Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Wife_and_My_Mother-in-Law
  15. I sure wish you had a pic of the furniture. I would've loved to see it.
  16. I wanted to give my sectional sofa to someone who needed some furniture because my apartment is so small it feels like my living room is all sofa. So I have a love hate with recliners. Enjoy the comfort but they are such an eye sore. I have a picture window that I thought about putting two nice chairs on either side of my copper tub bar and making a conversation area. When I entertain I can reserve the club room that van hold about 60 comfortably and has a full kitchen with a large screen tv and game console. So anyone that visits me would be limited comfortably to 6. Tight quarters. So I thought I would splurge a little and go find two chairs that are pretty and functional. Boy did I find them. Not in regular big chain stores like Basset, Mathis Brothers or Ashley's but a high end Lewis Alan Design Gallery. Gallery should have been my clue. I walked in and there was the chair of my dreams calling 'Leslie, look over here. Come sit and feel the comfort that can be yours. Feel the long Australian sheep fur and the sleek wood table that swings to the side. Notice the wood barrell back and trade mark design of its exclusive designer. Come. Sit. Dream.' I honestly tried to walk away but my neck was was on swivel and I simply had to circle back. I could see it in front of the window and feel the way it could swivel to face the fireplace without having to get out of the chair and move it. I saw myself sitting back in silk pajamas sippu v my RED wine not a worry about spilling it on the 6 inch long plush fur. So soft it felt like air. I told myself be practical. Think how my Poppy and Maggie would want to get up and snuggle on its fur. What if they thought it was an animal and peed on it? But I still could not walk away. I casually walked closer and turned the information tag over. WHAT?!?!? I STOPPED breathing. The sales man said such a work if art. And with 25% off it's a steal. I gasped is that the price or the model number? No Madame he said that is the same price with a courteous discount. It was 16477.00 after 25% off. I knew I could not afford that. It felt sinful to even think about spending that much. But I sure did want it. I looked carefully at it from all angles knowing that in paradise I will grown my own tree and learn carpentry skills and sewing skills and learn how to shave lambs and treat the wool and leather. Dye the leather and wool. I will have one in every color and make one for any friend who wants one. I have never had a piece of furniture speak to me but this one certainly did. In fact it's still talking but I am covering my ears. I did find a camel leather with tall wooded legs and tufted wing back design which was drool worthy. But alas no can do that one either. 9k for each is still too much. Think of what that could mean in contributions for our friends. When did I get so reasonable? I'm limiting myself to 3k for two chairs but I may have to concede to an ugly design that actually looks like a recliner. But if you want a chair like this sign my waiting list now. I figure a 100 years to grow the trees and cut the wood, then there is all the other steps involved. But it will be worth it.
  17. The Norwegian translation team does a wonderful job with the song lyrics. They must be blessed ❤️
  18. This comment seems to indicate that you are playing from your screen. I would print out the PDF with whatever changes you want, and then play from the printed music. 50 years ago I knew all of the theocratic songs pretty well. Back when we had live music at assemblies & conventions, I was in charge of that for the events in our area. I do not remember all of the songs by song number (like I used to 50 years ago), but I do not remember any that would go past two pages when printed out. Two pages fit side by side very easily on an inexpensive music stand. As to your preference on chord progressions, and which ones sound better to you, that is entirely a matter of your personal choice. When we were playing for assemblies & conventions, we felt obligated to follow the music as written. But, 50 years ago the songbook did not have chords indicated. For those, like myself, who liked to play from a "fake book" with just melody line and chord notations, it was a matter of going through each song, note by note, to determine what chord the notes represented. I remember many hours transposing music by had for those instruments that were not "C" instruments (i.e., tenor sax is a "B" insturment - as I remember alto sax is an "E-flat" instrument). It got to the point that I would bring a "catalog case" of the songs transposed for the non "C" instruments for every rehearsal and event. The office where I worked at the time had a "binding machine" that would punch holes in the margin, and then the sheets could be assembled and bound with plastic "comb" bindings with the songs in order. I have also wondered about a few of the newer songs where the final chord indicated was not what one would typically expect for a song in a certain key. But then I must remember that I am literally "a child of the previous century" and my musical taste may not be as current as the taste of younger ones. Thanks, Jim
  19. My wife recently had major surgery and the hospital has a home care nurse check on her once a week. We have had three different nurses and my wife has given each of them a contact card. 😁

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      Today was a lovely text, considering recent events. We need to remember that Jehovah is in control, not focus on the imperfections of any brothers who gave direction, and remember that in due time, if anything needs to be corrected, Jehovah will take care of it.

      WHIPLASH! Yesterday my ENT said my sinuses were healing fast and looked good.
       
      Today I rushed to the ER because apparently the scabs fell off and I started bleeding profusely. So much so I was genuinely scared and called 911.
       
      Took an hour or so to get it to stop. Probably lost half a pint of blood. But now I'm home and will stay up for an hour to make sure it settles down good enough to endure any snoring that might happen when I go to sleep...

      Had a conversation with a coworker the other day, it started off talking about flat earth. I told them that flat earthers are weird but im aware that SOME of them get their reasoning from scriptures in the bible (i dont remember which ones) my friend said she respects the thinking and God but ‘the bible was written by man’ i told her if i told someone to write her a check, is that check null and void because someone else wrote the check and not myself? She said that was an understandable argument. She also had a friend that was a JW at one point (i told her that i was one after she mentioned she was a flat earther), shes not close to the friend anymore because she was too judgmental and harsh. 
       
      I also have a coworker that is an ex witness (not aggressive about it or an apostate) i’m wondering if Jehovah put me at this company for a reason. I know i have to do my best to be a good witness.
