Above the Fog, Below the Snow
by compound complex ini live in the sierra nevada foothills of california; a selling point for prospective homeowners in the slightly lower elevation is what is touted in the subject title.
well, right now we are being blasted by a storm barreling down from canada, with hazardous driving and blizzard conditions in the offing, higher up.. as to fog, this photo offers a rare display of misty conditions over our lake, that after the last major rain storm.
it reminds me of summer days of my youth on the pacific coast..

Oh Boy! Beards are "stumbling blocks" again ... from Stephen Lett
by freddo inso this week's midweek meeting video about stumbling others has lett spouting and gurning rubbish again.. if you can't take the whole 9 minutes go from 5:50 to get the context and 6:45 for the "beard" mention.. https://youtu.be/ezv1ici5cwo.
oh, well - at least they shoot themselves in the foot with this doublespeak.

It's odd Lett mentioned "wearing a beard ... [and] ... heavy makeup" in the same breath (6:50"): [image of bearded, made-up young man] -- jp1692
Right after signing off here, I went to market to get some groceries, and that young man's twin was walking the aisles, in a fur-collared designer jacket and tight pants, definitely not the redneck type I referenced earlier. He looked like a runway model.
Lett and Morris would have had simultaneous strokes . . .

Funny about hair and people's reaction to its growth/length.
Yeah! Why don't you take that dog to a pet groomer? -- DesirousOfChange
Which dog are you referring to?
(I'm a dog-care provider, and my powers are limited . . .)

Funny about hair and people's reaction to its growth/length.Both men and women make passes -- "Your long hair is so romantic": some ask to stroke my beard; others say my looks would improve sans all the hair on the head (almost halfway down my back): "I'm getting out my scissors!" Some people have no decorum. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted long hair, but it wasn't allowed (for all the obvious reasons).
It amazes me how many old men like me have long hair and beards. I live in redneck country.
I no longer care what anyone says.

Why I get out of bed every morning.
by compound complex inbecause someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.
you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.
of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.

Blessings, also, dear Outahere!
I'm so happy to have seen your post before shutting down and heading to work. Fortunately, my old man's work load is such that I do get time for rest, relaxation, contemplation.
Till later, . . .

Why I'm rejoining the JWs
by Fred Franztone indear brothers and sisters.
after many years outside of the truth, living as an atheist, i have come to realise that i have been on the wrong path.
the fool has said in his heart that there is no god, and i have been a fool.

I feel your joy, Fred!
I remember the experience of some pioneers who had no food; they were so busy speaking Jehovah's name they had no time to work and earn money, no time to cook a meal even if they had food.
They went home from a joyous day in service, their bellies gnawed with hunger. A sudden downpour of rain occurred -- there wasn't a cloud in the sky -- and as they approached their humble abode, a surge of water ran down the street's gutter, carrying along a cabbage and a bunch of carrots.
Makes me think of dear Sister Scarlett, whose words are an inspiration:
"As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill."
