We bought a new TV. I don’t know the details, as it was my husbands idea.
I don’t know about the thing. I think it is too smart for us! It voluntarily pipes up with suggestions. While it is off! I think it’s smart mouth is called, “Brixie”.
It took a day and a half to get it mounted. Perfect. (Are you aware the 15 degrees this way, or that way is ideal?) That screen. We get it to the perfect degree, then it is not level. I kid you not.
My nightmare. More adjustments then I could keep track of.
I figured I’d have a nervous breakdown getting it set up. (I share the stress)
it took about an hour, and a phone call for one of the four components to be set up. It set up three of them itself. The components. That was an outright gift!
I figured hours and hours on the phone with the tech people.
I wade through such. My husband proves well enough for me. He doesn’t smoke or drink, and is a pretty private person. He really enjoys the thing.
Not complaining. Just stating facts. Yes, I have a good life, but he will find ways to challenge it with his getting things as perfect as he can.
Me? I want to plod along, doing what I do, and, I’m happy!

It's not the first thread I've "highjacked" and it probably won't be the last. Sorry!

You sisters are just funny. 😍
love you!

I’m in Brantford, Ontario, for a week. Visiting my daughter and three of my granddaughters. Edwin, SIL, will be in in a few days. It’s just a gift to be here.
Drama at the Toronto international airport. Again.
This is a part of my life, I get to haul along with me. And, enjoy. Thank you, dear friends.🌹🌹🌹

I was reading the thread on the new WT. 1975 popped up. Thing is, it is still tossing ones aside. A sister had a wonderful study. Progressing in all the right ways. We welcomed her as family. She was so dear, a lamb...
She ended up using that iPad, ( given to her by a sister) to snoop around apostate sites. You know the end results.
I so want to tell her that it was like she had Satan’s arm around her shoulder, and he was holding her hand. Heartbreaking.
Poor pioneer sister was devastated. I’m still doing what I can to shore her up. (Our sister)
What the BS shared with me made it plain what road she had chosen. Until then, we were perplexed. It seemed out of the blue.
1975 is one of those things that, for me, are not up building, and, thus, it’s just behind me.
She brought up 1975 is how I knew what she’d been up too.
Just 😞
i know there was more, but...

I had the same experience too.. My bible study was really smart... But later she has been questioning our organization. Then she told me that shes watching youtube videos that against .. I told her to watch the videos and see for herself.. She didn't listen to me. She stopped studying and continue to have an immoral life with her boyfriend.
We can't control all things.
-
Satan is real and relentless to our family using my father to pressure us not to follow bible principles and conform to worldly thinking.
Hes so cruel that he attacks bible studies who has been rooted in the faith yet even the new ones in the congregation.
How about our youth.. Thats why I pray everyday, I can't do this fight without Jehovah..

We rescued a dog. Unknown breed. Thought he was a spaniel of some sort. Now we think he is a pit bull of some sort. All 90 pounds, plus. And he is still a pup. And a, “nipper”. He and I have pretty well come to a resolution. “Don’t touch me with those teeth, or here comes a slap.” It got so he actually squinted when he looked at me. My attitude was tough. You know the routine.
My husband, on the other hand bas a big ol bruise from one of his, “nips”.
He and actual discipline are chasms apart. He told me my kids probably squinted, too. I laugh.
And, Bronco and I have quiet times, regularly. Just, no nips.
He loves Sid more then me. Fine. All the dogs do. They have him wrapped around their doggie pinky!
But, they mind me. I will not have big dogs that do not know who the boss is. I can take all three of them on a leash walk. And, they behave. All, but Blaze, the senior, and wolf mix. He is a gentleman with no leash.yes, four big dogs...
-
Oh pleaaaasee post pictures of your dogs especially your latest addition to your brood. In the sleepy hollow called the 'Pets' club. Under the topic 'Dogs'.
Mr. Sid seems such a sweet person. My dog loved me more than MH. Mikki will make a u-turn when it turns out that he is helping me to take my Precious for a walk. 6 am walk, when we were working was MH's duty but the other 2 walks (7 pm and 12 pm) were my prerogatives.
Due to his autistic nature, he couldn't emphasize with dogther's need to pick up scraps from the road and he would disciplined her quite severely. My little girl would not tolerate any hard spanking. RIP my small but bighearted M.
-
Blaze, the wolf dog is that way too. But, so gentle. In fact, they are all gentle and polite when we give them their treats. Daily. I have a friend with four dogs. They do not take treats gently, and, thus, get none, from me, anyway.
Blaze is looking at the end of his life. Incredibly sad. We had one dog who choose his way to die. He could hardly get around. We never have found him. Tuffy. A wonderful mutt.

I live in a strange reality. Yet, it is wonderfully normal. Tears, joys, and above all, prayers...all for ones I have not met, face to face, yet. And, it is my reality, only to share with you dear ones. And, what would I do without you precious ones.❤️❤️
Oh, I do get to share it with one Person, Jehovah.
For this, you have no idea my gratitude. Dear, dear friends.
-
This is exactly what I mean. I love you so, my dear sister. I know one day, we will get to know everyone. But this site hurried it up a bit. You are the ones I want to chase down when the dust has settled. Somehow. And, yes, our dear brother, Kim is on that list.
The rest of you, upright. Pretty please.❤️❤️❤️

If Jehovah knows what I am going to wear today, somehow, I wish he’d tell me. So I could stop fussing about it!

I think I had a mini-stroke yesterday. It was entertaining. Somewhat. I moved through the morning on automatic pilot. Did comment at WT. That’s when I really noticed it. I got okay as the morning went on...
I have someone who can drive for me, at last.
I gave a brother what I thought was a headlight replacement for his wives Subaru. From when I had my Outback. It was, um, a light switch, for our house!
My standards for my personal well-being are somewhat shifting somewhat.

I love both of you Miss Bea and Vernalee.
I understand your feeling of positive thoughts Miss Bea, I have health complications, mine is heart, and like you I choose to treat them responsibly but yet not over-think their issues. I feel better when I don't. But Jehovah knows how I long to see his name vindicated so I hope he lets me live to see the Big Day!

Signs of stroke
Face - is it drooping?
Arms - can you raise both?
Speech - is it slurred or jumbled?
Time - to call 911 right away
Please take care of yourself Miss Bea, hope everything checks out at the doctors office.

Brother, as I read what you post, I always smile. I know I will enjoy and learn from it, and, how I’d love to be in your car group out in the service. There are certain ones I especially enjoy. I just need to be quiet and listen!
Thats hard for me and my mouth!
Good morning, brother,
Christian Love, YS, Bea

Now, don’t get me wrong. I love what Jehovah has done for us with our electronic devises. K?
Way back when, I would look up and write the scriptures in the margins. For the WT study. As much as I have loved sailing through the WT study, read, touch scripture, see how it applies, underline and move on...my brain tends to want to do things like that. Snap, snap...
I’ve decided to get the paper copy out, and, here I am, writing those scriptures. Again. (Not all, some are just too long)
I’m retaining more. And, the study is more relaxed to me.
I’ve read the pure worship book, looked up the read scriptures.
Now, I’m on page 59, writing those scriptures. Messy, but...and writing key points down, and favorite scriptures.
I always have something to look foreword to. My study bible and Pure Worship book are always open, and awaiting me.
This is basically self-discipline. You cannot believe the ways I’ve come up with to waste time...always doing something. Something.

Yes, I also enjoyed how I immersed myself into God's word by hard copy preparation... Yet, I also enjoy how quick I can get more biblical information by research through electronic devices...
Hard to choose between two... 🤔

My self-reminder. Earthy governs, good, bad, indifferent. Not my business. Don’t think about it, even. Or, the mouth will betray me!

We were snowed in for a bit. The meeting was canceled. Then we noticed one of our dogs was sick. We managed to get off this hill, and take Ivy to the vet. She’d have died if we hadn’t done that. She was dehydrated, of al the things. Vomiting blood. She’s fine now. We are treating our 104 pound German Shepherd!

Glad your precious pup is on the mend.
There have been recent reports of a toxic dog food killing dogs by fatally damaging their kidneys with a lethal dose of vitamin D.
QuoteROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hill's Pet Nutrition's recent recall is a reminder that safety remains one of the driving forces in the U.S. pet market today. A 2018 survey by market research firm Packaged Facts reveals that 57% of dog owners and 55% of cat owners agree that "fear of pet food contamination/product safety is a key consideration in the dog foods/cat foods I buy," while more than 60% of dog and cat owners agree that they are concerned about the safety of the pet food, treats, and chews they buy. The findings were published in the January 2019 report, Pet Food in the U.S., 14th

We had no idea what happened, but her blood tests showed her vital organs were in good shape. Just dehydration. We just got her meds down her, and I took her for a walk, (in the snow!) she peed. Which I was so glad. She still won’t eat, but is drinking plenty of water. She still is in her sick room. (Aka, the washroom)

I fell yesterday. In service. I was getting out of a back seat, my feet got tangled in my purse strap, and down I went. Initially, flat on my back. Then I bounced, and my head hit the ground, and it bounced. It was a hard fall. I remember as I was in the second phase, thinking, “Oh great, a two phase fall”.
I'm sore today. Actually pretty sore, and I did my neck no favors. At my age, it could have been life altering. Have you any idea how grateful I am? I assure you, that will not happen again.
I could have broken so many things. I feel like I really jarred myself. As I said, one thankful person, I am.
(It was my call, I went on it, then we all went home.) A long day that ended well!)

Update. Yes, I am very thankful no parts to my body were broken. So much so, that I am grateful for the soreness I am experiencing. That, vs. broken anything. Can you imagine my hip being broken? (Shudder)
One of the elders phoned and checked on me.
Now, this I don’t know how to take. He said they were talking of having a safety meeting with our group that meets Wednesday(generally 10-12 of us) He said do you have any idea the average age of that group? Most of us in our 70’s, or realizing they are about to join us. In our 70’s.
Soooo..
All kidding aside, I am so, so thankful to Jehovah that my neck or back was not broken. So thankful. Unspeakably thankful.

It just dawned on me. My heart is in the new system. I cannot tell you why I feel that way, but I do.
I know we have work to do here, and now, but...hard to articulate. We have a cemetery on our land. My husbands people. His Mom, Dad, aunts, uncles cousins. Some he never met.
You know I want him here with me to greet them. The reality just gets closer and closer.
Makes not much sense, I know. Who to share it with, but you dear friends!

Sister i feel the same way! My heart is in the kingdom. I am so done already with this world. I long for Jehovahs kingdom so much it makes it hard to concentrate on anything else. I think thats why I love this forum so much is because we are all so like minded.

This is indeed strange because we were talking about this in service Wednesday. My thoughts are already in paradise, waiting for the resurrection to begin, sleeping well, eating good food, no pain, no fear, the animals not being afraid (wonder how long that'll take, I want to hold so many of them) Your comment about having visitors and wanting them to go home is spot on for my way of thinking as well.

Restless feels like a good word. Anticipating something so strong that I can’t get ready fast enough for it. Can not focus on other things and feeling constantly side tracked to the point of distraction from what needs to be done.
When i I lived in CA and knew my children or family were driving for a visit, I would start to clean the house because I wanted everything perfect for their arrival, but also so I could spend all my time with them once they arrived. I could not stay focused on specific tasks even though I knew they had just left Oklahoma. I would constantly peek out the curtains to see if ‘that’s them’ if I heard a sound.
Once they came, I throughly enjoyed their visit and hated to see them go but at the same time I wish they would just so things could ‘get back to normal’.
Not only do I anticipate the start of the GT and Armageddon so I can have all my questions answered re how it will go down, I can’t wait to start the restoration and find our assignments, I want the 1000 year reign to have past so we can get down To the REAL LIFE,

Techie question. Is there a way to store photos on the iOS devices? I put them In albums, thinking that would work. Then I deleted one, (after taking a screen shot) and when I deleted it, it did disappear from the album.
Thanks, in advance for any help out there for me💖💖💖

Insight into Bea. A dear friend of mine and I go to a jazz festival every year. Two days. We get to dance, laugh, and enjoy ourselves for that two days. (She’s 77, I’m 75)
For the last two years, our assemblies have been on that day. First year, mine, second year, hers. We did as we should have. Put it aside.
Well, we are making reservations right now! No conflicting dates, and we are tickled.
This is my beach buddy. We both could live there. And we both love to dance! Frivolity, I know, but, I’m smiling as I type this. 💃🏻💃🏻

It will be so wonderful. Jehovah’s earth has beauty today. It’s hard to imagine it perfect. And we get to be the gardeners! Forever. It’s sort of hard to picture. A perfect earth, and, thanks to Jehovah, more perfection. Everywhere you look. Safety.
And dear friends💖💖💖

He has such a sweet face, and the leg is of no consequence♥️
Because of your pic I went to a web site for 10 of the biggest cats, my goodness, almost makes me want one! I just don't want a litter box.
https://www.petfinder.com/cat-breeds/collections/largest-domestic-cats/?page=1
-
No. He’s one of a litter that was abandoned. Mom,, and three siblings.
We aleady had three cats, but knew because of his leg, they would put him down. One of his rear legs goes up, and, backwards at the joint. It’s not fixable. He’s the sweetest cat we have ever had. We are still kicking ourselves for not keeping another out of that litter.
And, one of the prettiest!
-
Try five. Litter boxes. Three cats. And,, they are cleaned twice a day. By my husband.
We rescued a pup. (Now I need rescued) Golden Lab. And our other three dogs have about had it with him. Me, too. I think one of our German Shepherds might have a doggy nervous breakdown. And I’d not blame her. While I’m in the house, I finally tied pup up. I’m going outside, so...it’s really quiet right now, and I’m wondering what our Bronco is up to. Hard telling.
Named him Bronco because there is a LOT of stuff we have to break him from.
Old people should not get pups!
-
I’m listing to the children’s songs. One brought me to tears. It’s #41. We have a beautiful three legged kitty. A birth defect. I’ve been petting Hop-Along, and quietly thinking, “If he is still alive when the new system comes...maybe, just maybe.”. No, I tell myself, Christ’s Ransom does not cover kitties.
Then #41. Yes, I know it’s anticipation we have, rather then hard facts, but there is a tiny glimmer of hope...tiny.

My Sadie Grace is a three legged Great Pyrenees. She gets around well short distances. I keep a ottoman at the foot of our bed for her to use to take her spot. Sometimes she gets hung up and cry’s for our help. It still hurts to see her struggle at times. I don’t see Jehovah allowing that. But I’m not privy to all he knows.
-
We may have a rough life sometimes, but it’s a wonderful rough life!
-
Everything including the kitchen sink can hit the fan, but when we have Jehovah , it's all ok because we know one day all the pieces will come back together and he will make it all ok.

21,000+ In email! Yep. I’ve been sort of bedridden for a week or so. I’ve got it down to under 3000! It’s a Gmail account. Anyone know how to do a, “fell-swoop” on it. Besides tried true one by one?

21,000 emails never had that many ever.

Whine time. (Wine!) My car’s tire was hit by a rock. It was down for a week. My husband came home with a new Dodge Ram, pick up. We have a new dog. And we love him. The point of all this. I really, really don’t like change. And, this happened all within a week, and, my system’s response? A case of shingles. Not a bad one, but enough to grumble. (Actually, sometimes it is bad) I went to the doctor. He was not impressed. No meds. But, I think sometimes it’s mostly internal. I did phone in for the meds today. He said if I thought I needed them...
-
On way home from service, (and errands) a rock hit my front tire. Flattened it. Immediately. I sat beside the road, in the dark, for an hour and a half. I prayed for safety. And, I wasn’t moved to put on my flashers, but to wait. I’d phoned Triple A, the roadside service.
There was a place to park, a miracle, (almost)
I know I didn’t have my flashers on, but a good thirty cars, even a sheriffs vehicle sailed past me. And, people know my car. That shocked me.
I told them at the store what happened. They will let the community know.
I drive a Subaru. And I know the rock hit the sidewall. Now, I get to find out if I will have to get new tires. It’s parked outside, with the sissy tire on.
-
I will have to travel 2 hours on that little tire to get it fixed. Of course, this is our first rain, which we desperately needed. But, I’m not driving my husband’s big truck at night. No meeting tonight, and I hope I can get it fixed Friday. And, pretty well, no phone service. So, I will be happy with preparing. For the meeting.

Tv on in the background. I need to remind myself, keep the iPod charged, with me, and earphones, the same.
This I need and want as that music tries to invade my brain.

If I have an extra 5 minutes, I’m a happy camper. Well, today, I have an extra hour! I leave the one clock in the house on old time to remind me! It’s not atomic...eeek, we are being bombarded with atomic something. Time I know, but, still...

A plane went down in Athens Jarkata Sea. 184 people were in it, including some high individuals in the finance department in Indonesia. Not a speck of a word on the news this morning. It seems easy for them to get enveloped in a subject. And then repeat themselves.
-
Reading the news this morning truly depressing...
Still not hearing anybody survived yet...
-
Australiaian Government issued advisory against flying Lion Air.... very sad with the loss of so many lives.. Hope brothers were not on the plane
-
It is so comforting to know that Jehovah knows each person who was on that plane individually. He knows the number of hairs on their heads, the freckles on their nose, the crinkly wrinkles that make up their smile lines, their beautiful hair and eye colors and every other aspect of them that the news media doesn't deem worthy to even report. How much more these precious ones were worth than the sparrow. May Jehovah comfort their living relatives.
