  i'm in control, yet, .

  rain, at long last, has touched both our land and my soul.

  No, ShirleyW, I heard of it only now from you and R&R.

  Will look into it. Here in northern California, Sierra foothills, we get lots of rain but clearing and sunshine. The lower valley regions get long-term overcast and/or tule fog, which is really depressing.

  THANKS!

  Tule fog /ˈtuːliː/ is a thick ground fog that settles in the San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento Valley areas of California's Great Central Valley. Tule fog forms from late fall through early spring (California's rainy season) after the first significant rainfall.

  I appreciate your comments, Sunworshipper805, Rules & Regulations, and scratchme1010. They have helped me, too, seeing how we are all affected, more or less.

  Best wishes as we tread through winter.

  Yes, CoCo, I am affected.

  I'm so depressed. Maybe when the rain actually starts I'll feel better!

  Thanks for starting this topic! Many will respond.

  HOW ABOUT YOU?

  RAIN, AT LONG LAST, has touched both our land and my soul. The burning sun of a protracted summer has released its hold; I breathe in the welcome cool and damp of ground-hugging mist.

  Yet, an unforeseen sadness creeps into the worn fabric of life, and loose-hanging garments afford no warmth to my diminishing frame.

  The Sadness of the Poet

  i feel a sadness so deep that friends wonder why my art and my blinds remain undrawn.. gone is the muse who promised me solacewhile guys played ball and climbed tall trees.. a blank canvas before me says, "here's your life, where has it gone?".

  is it too late to become what imight have become .

  As I journey through life, I take a path not traveled by others, or so it would seem.

  I reach out, sometimes in tears, more often with hope, that another sole wanderer

  Will come along with me and share the journey leading to better times and places.

  It is as if, however, no one hears the murmurings of a heart wishing company,

  One with whom to share in Nature's wonders, to delight in what she has wrought.

  I continue to meander through life's lanes untrammeled, knowing that soon you'll

  Sense my unseen but real presence and happily take my hand and lift my heart.

  "The overseer should therefore be irreprehensible, a husband of one wife, moderate in habits, sound in mind, . . ." -- 1 Timothy 3:2

  Irreprehensible : free from blame or reproach [in] conduct in all respects -- https://www.merriamwebster.com/dictionary/irreprehensible

  I recall, in situations I read about or observed personally, that an elder might've been guiltless in a particular controversial situation, but if he lost the confidence of the congregation, he could no longer serve effectively. I don't know if that automatically paints him "reprehensible," given the definition.

  Do I recollect correctly?

  i know how tech-savvy many of you on board are and i need help finding a poster's avatar -- she's not posted here in many moons but it was awesome poster of 1950s picture of brunette in a dress holding a gun with a cigarette hanging in her mouth -- not real lady like but she's pulls it off.

  it's called 'heater, cigarette' online but the poster (picture/whatever) she had was in color and with a quote.

  anyone recall - recollect out there?

  Taking a break.
