How's Your Day? Archives

yep. post when you're going in and I'll make sure to pray for you.

sure you can. there's no cap and trade limit on compassion. yet.

 

Somebody help me, I'm getting sucked back in to reddit again. Like some kind of hopeless heroin addict on a midnight stroll down Spragg street, I just can't keep from checking in, even though I know it's just going to end in track marks between my toes, an unexplained chimpanzee foot in the freezer, and a Skip Bifferty album I don't remember buying.

 

well, technically, Jim is already "broken", in several ways...
but humor aside (except the financially broken part ain't funny), thank you. I've already begun "practicing", trying to do everything left-handed...this ain't gonna be fun. From the very first thing in the morning (think 'flush'), to eating, to my work (thankfully I've become adequate in left-handed mousing), to dressing/undressing, to 'intimate' times (wife's already said "you're gonna have to figure it out! God, I love her! )....it's overwhelming.
However, some things I do know:
All obstacles and challenges in life either build character, or show the lack thereof.
Others have done this before, and made it through - hopefully I can be one of them.
I don't know what the greater purpose of this is, but I do know that in every 'major' situation like this, God has revealed Himself and His purposes to me in ways that I would have overlooked otherwise, so I must remember to look.
I know I'll be very, very, very, very, very tempted to complain, at the moment, I can't even begin to fathom the tiniest bit what it's going to be like to have my most used arm unusable - moreso, unmoveable. What if my arm gets hot? And, knowing me, it is guaranteed to be miserable hot - especially with the Texas summer starting.

However, I already know my antidote for complaining about this short-term inconvenience of having one limb operated on to be repaired, and be good again in a scant 4-6 weeks - I can contemplate being born without any limbs at all.
Amazing story, be sure to check it out, especially look up his youtube videos.

 

Every time you mention surgery, I hear a voice-over in my head saying, "We have the technology; We can rebuild him."

nuhnuhnuhnuhnoooooooooh

 

yeah, exactly...I'm always brought back to the fact that it also was Anakin's right hand that he lost first...

Hey! I use one of those as a bedside table - it came from my grandparents. I still keep some of their stuff in it.

I'm thinking about when you'll be whole again. It bites (being broke), but healing is good. Please, just don't think of it as 'getting fixed'.

(...and Micah - reddit will make hair grow on your palms; just say no to reddit)

 

took we a while to get what it was about. why does the wind have a pseudo-French accent?

 

the surgery will be Monday, scheduled for 9:30 A.M.

now, the real question is, HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GONNA SHAVE?!?!??!

 

I thought it was nekkidchicks.com that did that. Besides, hairy palms? More shaving! How exactly is this a deterrent?

Because no one is more annoying than people from pseudo-France! duh...

I'm guessing, "Really awkwardly."

 

Causes of WWI... I'm so bored with this stuff. This is the 5th time today I've done this lecture. Save me, save me please.

 

start making stuff up

"WWI started because Italy had decided to stop making Proraso Red, and little stock they did have left was being shipped to the Bermuda Triangle..."

 

How is that any different than the story I've been telling?

 

:rofl

oh, well, ummm....just do a loop-over viewing of "The Fountain", then...

Have you thought about dividing the class up into "countries" giving them each a list of their needs and atttitudes, and setting them to the task of negotiating a deal that will make everyone happy. Then all you have to do is give one country a card that says, "Kill the Archduke". You could guide where their "game" goes by randomly assigning each country a task that reflects what really happened.

Or you could just start randomly screaming about sandwich shops and Kaiser Willhelm.

 

or how about the over-simplified version...

"They had to start World War I so that the title of World War II would make sense"

this would require gifted minds capable of doing more than watching "Dancing with the Stars" and Oprah and have more skills than "texting". :mad:

 

you would be sad to know the number of times these past few days I've had students ask if we had fought World War III yet. :shocked031

 

did you tell them, "yes, and that's why we're all Communists now" ?
