My current return visit situation as of last weekend.  This is by far a record for the farthest I have to drive to get to these rv's.  Talk about pioneer hours!  And 2 out of 3 of these rv's are talkers that will keep you for over an hour if you let them.  Anyone else has such extreme distances to travel?  

Well, I’m on to a new adventure. Grounding!
 
Update…Iʼve had insommia, litterally for years. Iʼve used pills, patches, chamomille tea. You name it. My brain just wonʼt shut down. 
Wełł, last night, I had a unique experience. I actually got sleepy! Starting around 9 oʼclock.
I honored the feeling. Went to sleep around 10. (Last week, i was actually awake until 5 AM. And, ałmost did the same thing the next night) I tell myself, “If i can get 2 hours sleep, Iʼm okay)
Woke up early. 6:45, actually feeling good! 
Iʼm hooked!♥️♥️♥️

France is now in Terrorist attack risk emergency... Ho well

Today my parents were baptized and I'm glad they made that choice.😁😁😁

Thoughts that can help in the fight against bad habits and addiction.

1. A parasite lives in your head. It feeds on the pieces of your brain to which you send the fulfillment of your addiction. To get rid of the parasite, there is only one way: starve it to death. If you want him to die, just stop giving him food. With hunger the parasite will rebel and get on your nerves. But you remember that it takes time for it to die, be patient and relax. Just don't feed it.

2. Pray to Jehovah regularly. You don't need to make every prayer long or in a pattern. The main thing is to remember Jehovah, that he protects you. And give thanks to him. This will develop in you a prayerful mindset and you will feel how much your friendship with Jehovah will grow. You can think of it as a pill for the parasite in your head.

3. Analyze your whole day. At what moments might you see things related to your addiction? For example, your co-workers or acquaintances may be smoking, drinking. Pornography pops up at work. Watching movies or playing games where these things are considered something normal. Remember, these are not little things! If you want Jehovah to bless you, you need to be careful, like Gideon's warriors, gulping water with their hand.

4. Remember the reward - eternal life. Indulging in addiction is like trading Jehovah's priceless gift for something empty. Like Esau did, trading the blessings from Jehovah for a bowl of chowder, for the satisfaction of hunger. The eternal for the minute. Make the right investments-not short-term ones that bring only illusions, but eternal ones that bring real joy and satisfaction.

5. Whose side do you want to be on? Bad habits are the work of Satan. It is his mockery of the image and likeness of Jehovah. The Creator has put qualities in us such as love, kindness, and wisdom. And gave us free will! But by going along with addiction, man goes against those qualities, abuses free will, and along with Satan and his supporters, laughs at Jehovah's gift. Choose who you want to be for.

I have just been listening to a CO talk from 2003 in Highgate, London. 
It is called Do We Appreciate What We Have and it's about the Ransom. In view of the season, I wondered if anyone else would like to listen to it. If so, just drop me a PM with your email address. I'll share it via Drive. 

Lots & Lots of rain. Floods up North. Shelves are still empty in most shops.
Its definitly one thing after another.
what else is next?👀🙃

Sad day for my neighborhood. Fire broke out in a home, rescue tried to get the 15 year old daughter out of a window but she couldn’t do it. Overcome by smoke. The father is in hospital. Our brother, Chuck, lives next door, saw the whole thing during meeting this morning. So sad, look forward to the resurrection. 

Last I developed a serious case of pneumonia. Because of the covi/hospital cituation I put off going to the emrgency a little too long and required immediate hospitalization. No beds to be had on the Oregon Coast. Nearest  bed was 100 miles away. Ambulance was ordered, they too are busy, it took 5 hours for them to show up. Two hour run to the Hospital in Spring field. Checked in at 11:30 PM.
The worst part besides haveing to do it without my wife's presence was the two hour ambulace ride. I was told it would be very uncomfortable and it was. Given the choice of the ambulance trip or having my fingernails pulled out one by one, I think I would lean toward the fingernails.
