I haven’t been active on the forums or really in anything besides the ministry and my meetings locally, but I wanted to say I’m alive and here is a picture of my wife and I. To all who helped me through a tough time as my wife and I were apart thank you seriously THANK YOU. May Jehovah bless you all.

 

I also wanted to say to my friend who is special I miss ya and go lions and broncos!!!

 

About as random as I can get 😁

 

I miss you friend

likely regarding 2026 international assembly in Stockholm 

 

dont want to sound ungrateful, but its a bit of an anticlimax bc i was waiting for something so super urgent and important that couldnt be announced in a letter or other way since every elder are expected to attend, even if it means 5 hrs driving and cancelled weekend activities/field service

 

anyways,

im looking forward tomorrow 😃

25 or 6 to 4 is a song about some one's attempt to compose a song throughout the night and it is now going on 4 am, 25 or 26 minutes until. Do you try to figure out song meanings? Song titles can be quoted in writing, but not so lyrics.

Thoughts from this thread:

Yes I have taught Algebra; no,I still don't have a beard; did not see any reference to Lynn's zoom; getting ready  for zoom chat; is "that's a goog question," overused: do you have rvs ready for tomorow; what tyewriter key do you mis hit regularly; who is Johny blue

You actually can see Russia from Alaska. Given the correct weather conditions in the Bering Sea, you can see the island of Big Diomede, Russia, from the smaller island of Little Diomede, Alaska.

Literal  equations is a term for linear equations. Less math, more random needed.

So tomorrow is my midweek meeting, but also there's a school bash that ends when my meeting begins (We (my husband and I) wanna do school events with Hunter because its something our parents never did for us). I've been thinking about how to handle getting to the meeting tomorrow and ended up accepting I'm going to possibly be late, having my husband drop me off (If we stayed for the whole event) and would have to have someone drop me off home.

 

Today i planned to go out in the ministry. I showed up at 6:30 and was greeted by some brothers and sisters I didn't know.

 

Me: Where is everyone at? Are they in the meeting room?

Sister: No, we're the only ones here.

Me: ...But field service starts at 6:30.

Sister: Oh no, they are long gone for field service

Me: How long have yall been here?

Sister: 30 mintues. They let us in as they were leaving

Me: Then why are you here?

Sister: Our meeting

Me: Oh, the midweek meeting

Sister: Yeah, you're welcome to stay with us and join in

Me: Well this works out perfectly

 

Seems my mistake of field service starting at 630 instead of 6 solved the issue i had for tomorrow. Only problem is I couldnt give my comment. I'm aware that some brothers will be weary of new faces so I'm not too upset.

People are familiar with Ides of March> But according to Roman reference, every month had a central measure, or ides. Nones was another calendar measurei n the ancient Roman calendar, the ninth day before the ides by inclusive reckoning, that is, the 7th day of March, May, July, and October, or the 5th of other months.

[kejedo]

Although I am tempted to recite more Roman references to the days' measurement(s?), it would challenge the randomness of this totally off topic thread. Nope, I did not use hopefully, which is misleading and incorrect to many as an adverb.

 

[kejedo]

One of my sons noticed that some people who use English as a second language, put the adverb last in a sentence. Example: "That's ninety five cents, only."

The phrase "gung ho" suggests enthusiasm  and comes from the Mandarin Chinese term gōnghé (工合), an abbreviation for Gōngyè Hézuòshè (工業合作社), meaning "Industrial Cooperative Society." Enough with the etymology, pauline
