It is only like 23 degrees here though.
72* here got a rose garden bustin' at the seams with roses (and weeds and grass)... course I'll likely have roses til late november so that's just the norm for my part of the country.

I'm irritated. That dope Senator (socialist) Jon Tester spammed my mailbox with garbage that boils down to "I want you, the "middle class," to sell your souls to the government. You cannot live without letting us take over caring for and paying for your children's health care. We must do everything we can to drive up costs so that people can't survive without government intervention and spending."
it is another way to keep tabs on the kids cause they think that they belong to them and not us. You know they used to not want to start indoctrinating them til they were 5 or 6... Then when my #2 was little they got the whole Pre-K kick going. Now they are pushing to get them into "school" as young as 3. Oh you don't need to worry bout lil suzie, we will take good care of her. Uh huh. Wrong answer. If they can get the health care thing nailed down how long do you think it'd be before mom and dad will be charged with "neglect" because they did not take full advantage of the medical care offered?
We went in as younguns for immunizations. that was a few times as babes then again at 5 and again at 12. if you were not a sickly kid that was as often as you went to the doctor. no one freaked if they did not get a yearly physical. Now you go in for your physical and they run you down. even ask the kid if they wear their seat belts or sit in a carseat(whichever is appro for the childs age) Um EXCUSE ME you are supposed to be looking at the body and making sure it is all good... this is not some sort of inquisition here folks. I have actually had a nurse look at me and say "I was asking the child ma'am." I nearly got up and left right there.
I dont even recall having to have a physical to cheer lead in primary school and middle school. now try to enroll in school without a physical.

Just dropping in to say that milk here costs $2.69 at the cheapest and I don't know about the most cause we always buy the cheapest! And yes, we're one of those families that goes through about 5 gallons a week. BUT we don't buy juice or soda or anything like that very often.
Oh, and we got gas this weekend for $2.99/gal. It's times like these that I appreciate the perks of Jersey livin'.

I saw a sign that was advertising a "Fellowship of Excitement!!!" in front of a church today...
Mmmmmmm. Okay.
I think I'll opt for a Fellowship of Joy...
or even the fellowship of the ring...
but a fellowship of excitement sounds a bit.... Exhausting...

Stuff like blessing animals is not going on in your neighborhoods? 
I'm disappointed to hear that there were apparently no pet frogs, snakes, rats, etc. in attendance.
dd said the other day, and this is quite close to verbatim:
"Mom and Dad, I don't know why you are so upset about that church because they are not a church anyway. They are a Community Gathering." 
Now, dd has been to a fairly conservative (with a growing evangelical jag) church for a few years in the past and we have taken her to Summer Bible school and some church services at a conservative (Missouri synod) church (hey, the pickin's are slim). She knows what a church is and I didn't know what to say at first to her remark 'cause I certainly don't respect them as a "real" church and fail to understand why anyone does.
This isn't the serious thread but lemme ask ya this:
How important is it to you that the pastor of the church you choose to attend not be a coward?
Say family services wanted to investigate a member for child abuse and many fingers (including those of members) were pointing at that member asking family services to do something. Then the pastor says,"Can't we just let this go this time?" because the man's family is the largest financer of the school that they created and support.
Would you say, "No Way!  " to attending, try to talk to them  , or just ignore it and plan to attend as a non-member.
Hindsight tells me that was a really dumb question for a troll to put to other trolls!  ...especially since it is a story involving a conservative Lutheran church.
The other choice, if I don't want to hang out with loones, is the Assembly of God church.
Ain't happenin'. I can go there for homeschool meetings and homeschool choir but I just can't stomach more than that.
I will make you cry in the non-serious thread yet!

You may be surprised just how often that sort of thing goes on. Sometimes it's a prominent member but sometimes it's just a spineless "pastor" unwilling to even talk with the potentially guilty person. It's also a management style I've seen in the business world - ignore anything unpleasant long enough and it will go away. But what happens is that someone else handles it or it festers until it blows up.
Leaders that think they can please everyone all the time usually end up pleasing nobody and make everybody angry at them.

We had all just rather not sit around coughing and hacking up Milk induced hairballs or sitting in the outhouse doing extensive reading of the Sears and Roebucks catalog. 
"It's a marshmallow world in the winter, when the snow comes to cover the ground. It's the time for play. It's a whipped cream day. I wait for it the whole year 'round. Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly, in the arms of the evergreen trees.And the sun is red like a pumpkin head. It's shining so your nose won't freeze. The world is your snowball. See how it grows. That's how it goes whenever it snows. Get out and roll it along. It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts. Take a walk with your favorite girl. It's a sugar date. What if spring is late? In winter it's a Marshmallow world." 
That is happening in Billings but not Polson. We live in the hot spot. When the wind blows, we all freak out 'cause we be so very spoiled. 
My daughter is sad. 
I'm not! 
I can't train some things out of him. He was soooo nice this Summer. I thought I had made real progress. I worked out a lead/pulley thang to take him swimming without having to get in every time myself. 
two of the 3 told her taters was a startch and not a veggie- she said she knew that but was pretending for the time being.
