Note the Ho-ly Cow! thread.... As for grieving, last week was really tough. We found out that my mom let her life insurance lapse so the only hope of settling her estate is to sell the house where we're living (that may be different now...). Friday was her memorial service which was very...

Well, this is a praise... As you guys well know, we've been going through a lot in my household, especially this past year and the last month. Tuesday my wife kind of gave me a nudge before bed that she had heard about a job fair the local cable TV/Internet provider was holding. She kept on...

Thanks for the prayers. Please continue to pray for us. Her business stuff is a mess. We've so far found $40k + in debts she had and as yet no life insurance (though I doubt it's enough to cover that). We are trying to find a probate lawyer to help guide us through this, but naturally we...

My mom passed away this morning. I really appreciate the prayers. The doctor wasn't sure what exactly happened, it could have been her heart or possibly a blood clot. She was in a lot of pain the last few months with sciatica which has kept her pretty immobile. At this point we are at a...

My mom collapsed in the bathroom this morning. He was not breathing and when the EMTs got here, her heart had stopped. They were able to get a pulse and take her to the hospital. Please be in prayer for her and the rest of us.

I can get that. His first three books are not as polished as his later work and as each book goes on, it becomes much darker. I was kind of worried after reading the third book, but in the fourth, Harry begins to turn a corner. One of the interesting things about the series is the expansive...

I'm just about done with a series called to Codex Alera by Jim Butcher (6 books). If you're not familiar with Butcher, he began his best known work The Dresden Files while he was in college. He wrote it on a dare from one of his professors and somehow ended up selling a twenty book series to a...

Praise God! Praying for continued healing.

Thanks for the prayers. My son came home for Christmas. We were working on a contract with him before he went back to school, but he ended up failing all but one of his classes. He has decided to stay home for the Spring and work to get more money for school before starting again. I would...

I've read Tarkin and Sith Lords. Not bad. I like the back story on Moff Tarkin. I'm thinking of reading The Force Awakens. It appears to give a bit more detail on things I'm curious about from the movie.

Update. I talked to him. He has a cold and claims he's been sleeping all day. The doctor prescribed a cough suppressant that isn't recommended with the other meds he is on. Not sure I buy that it was just the medicine. He is supposed to meet with his friends for dinner in a little bit...

Please pray for my son Patrick. He's been missing since yesterday. He's in his first semester at college (four hours away) and about a month ago had a depressive episode and "shut down." We thought we had him past that, he's gone to the counseling center and he's on anti-depressants now. I...

I used to play WoT. I loved the game until it became too filled with lemming trains and then getting cussed out by a twelve year olds, who used mommy's credit card to buy VMX because I had "a low win rate," as I was steamrolled by the opfor, the lone defender of the artillery and base.

Oh, you talked about cutting down calories because I was going to ask if you tried the fried cheese curds.... My arteries harden just thinking about them.

I finished The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher a few weeks ago. Not a bad read if you're into Steampunk/Fantasy.
