Morning all. I stayed up late on this Friday evening just so I could greet you all.

I was laughing at lunch today about how to describe our lives to others. What we look at as normal. The store is routinely out of things, though they work hard to have everything. When we see something in the store we buy it. It probably will not be there the next time.
It’s FRIDAY!
Yu know what that means?
We have already met the average monthly average rain total for November.
Weatherman says it will rain ’till Monday.
Good Morning! All that east coast rain needs to tilt to the west don’t ya think?! It’s still dark outside and I am driving myself to work (it will be sun shiny by then)….my daughter lives one mile from the shoppe and she is going to drive me home in my car…she’s going with us to get the puppy while her husband takes care of the kiddies for the weekend 🙂
Thanks for the name suggestions for our girl….one of them Paul really really liked..it just may be the one after we see her sweet face ❤
Emogene or Emma Jean is my niece’s dog’s name. She is such a good dog.
Tullalah was a neighbor’s Weimaraner. She was beautiful.
I almost gave you Marlowe (Marlo) because he was the Wonder Dog–the smartest, best, Golden EVER! Of course he was so highly bred he had to have a pretentious name, He was Beauregard the Duke of Marlowe on his registration papers.
Of course we now Have Lulabelle.
I don’t know that there is a feminine version of Amos because he IS the LovePuppy!
I see all these sweet rescue dogs on FB and it hurts my heart. Mr. P and I have agreed that we cannot have another dog. Lulabelle demands too much attention there isn’t room for another.
NancyJill, I missed the initial comments about the puppy (I only saw name suggestions on last night’s thread. What breed/coloring?
I had fun with Misten’s name–I had it figured out before I chose a puppy. I wanted a female collie, and I figured she had to have a classy, elegant name, but Princess, Lady, and Lassie are all overused for collies. (Male collies give more options–Baron, Duke, etc.) Anyway, I thought about it for a long time, and then one day I thought Miss Tennessee would be a creative, fun option. And she could have been Misty for short except that the daughter of my best friend is Misty, and since I think of “Misty” more as a name for a dog, I thought I probably should go with something else, so I made up Misten. And registered dog names often include the names of the breeder, and her breeder was Bonnie Collies (“bonnie” or “bonny” meaning “lovely”), so “Bonnie Miss Tennessee” is her registered name. But honestly, she gets called “Lassie” so much (by other people) I might as well have named her that! And I thought if I went back to the same breeder (she’s not breeding anymore, I don’t think, and at this point it would be too far to drive for a puppy, but I thought this when I lived in Nashville), I could have Bonnie Miss Tennessee and Bonnie Lass of Nashville; and the second dog could be either Bonnie or Lassie. But if I had thought about naming her Bonnie, before I came up with the name I did use, I’d have gone with it. Bonnie is perfect for a female collie. So if I ever have another female collie, I’ll probably either go ahead and use Lassie or go with Bonnie. But Misten’s coloring is about as perfect as collies get, and Miss Tennessee works for her–except that she is now an Indiana dog. But I never considered that option when I bought her and named her!
One clever dog name I saw in a book (I forget how it was spelled, but only how it was pronounced): Diogi. D-O-G, but with a different emphasis.
Kinda reminds me of the young man in my college youth group several years ago who was raising a young pig for meat. Pretending to think it was a pet, I asked him his pig’s name, and he said, “Pigg, with two g’s.” Months later I heard he had slaughtered the pig and had a pig roast, and so I sent him a sympathy card on the loss of Pigg. He came up to me the next time he saw me, laughing. He said he had a fortune cookie that said something like “Others will commiserate with you in your misfortunes” and he said, “What misfortunes?” and then he got my card, opened it, and laughed out loud.
Oh I love all these names suggested….she may be registered with the longest name in AKC history if this keeps up!
Cheryl, my sister’s Aussie had 10 puppies two weeks after we lost Babe….one of those pups had the exact markings…complete with freckles on the nose…as Babe. My sister knew this was supposed to be our puppy but she didn’t want to impose nor overstep because she knew we were mourning the loss of Babe. She posted a picture on FB and my heart almost leapt from my chest…well…with no vacation left, we decided to take a whirlwind road trip this weekend driving straight through to Ohio….and straight back to CO….it will be exhausting but we are so excited!
I was at a Ligonier conference in the early 1990s when Sinclair Ferguson gave a talk on Ps. 23.
“God has two sheepdogs: Goodness and Mercy. He sends them to us from his throne of grace; sometimes to bark at us, to badger us; sometimes to woo us by persuading us that His will is good and perfect in our lives.”
Just a few weeks after that I found & took in a stray Australian shepherd that had been in our neighborhood (I had no plans to get another dog at that point, I already had 2, had already called the shelter when I had 2nd thoughts and just couldn’t send her there).
She was so beautiful and I fell in love. Because Ferguson’s talk was so fresh in my mind (he even remarked that if he had a couple sheepdogs he’d name them Goodness and Mercy — I still have the notations in my old Bible I took with me to the conference), I named her “Mercy.”
And I added “Goodness,” unofficially, to my other dog Ellie’s name (“Ellie Goodness!”)
(Someone else suggested two other “sheepdog” images used in Ps. 43:3, “Light” and “Truth” — as in Light and Truth lead … )
Dog names are fun. I tend to like original ones (which is why I didn’t latch onto Tess the first time I saw it as a border collie name), but sometimes the simple ones just fit and work so well, too.
It’s very dry here, but cold-cold-cold at night and in the mornings. Loving it. And we did get some snow in our mountains, it’s visible on my drive to work heading north. 🙂
(Our air really is cleaner than it was 20+ years ago.)
Freezing temps inland from us.
Touchy story to do today on what caused the downtown commercial fire — looks like it started in a shop that rents our medical marijuana machines (harvesting machines that cut and prepare the weed for mass sale). Oy. Guy who owns the business is really defensive, kind of driving me nuts with calls. And the landlord/owner I think also is really defensive now for several reasons. I’ll have to talk to him again, too.
I can not imagine how cold it must be there. It was up to fifty in my bedroom this morning so I can so not relate. You have my deepest sympathy. I do hope you are able to dress for the weather. Layering helps. And rabbit fur hats. And well insulated snow pants and boots. And mittens, much prefer mittens to gloves for warmth. And don’t forget to wrap a warm scarf around your face, frostbite is not a joke. We care, Donnuh.
That thing is hilarious. I have watched it over and over for eight years. One of my sons gave me one of those music greeting cards and I open it when life gets tough around here. Not tough like you get there in California, of course. Nothing like that.
NancyJill – Thinking of a way to take off on Babe’s name, I thought of Babette. (Babette doesn’t have “long a” sound of Babe, but retains some of the spelling.)
One of our cats is named Angel, although we had a previous cat named Angel.
It was partly because the second cat (still a kitten) was already named Angel when she was found (left on my neighbor’s front porch in a box, with a note asking her to find a home for her) that I agreed to take her. (Also because I loved her “tortie” coloring & her “double paws” in front.) Our first Angel had been in my mind a day or two before this one was offered to me, & I took it as a sign that she was meant to be ours. (Not seriously, though.)
(The reason she was left at my neighbor’s house is because she sometimes rehabilitates animals in need.)
Because of Angel being taped up in a box (with air holes, of course) she became the rare kitty that doesn’t like boxes, for a few years at least. She now will sit in a box like a normal, self-respecting kitty.
Dog tags are what we wore in the Air Force. Always.
For a long time, after I got out, I used my dog tag as a key chain because it had my name and blood type on it.
I don’t know what happened to my dog tags.
Re: the prayer request for YF’s salvation that I left on the prayer thread.
You’ve read about my Facebook exchanges with the young woman (now 28, still jobless) I refer to as YF.
(Note to Roscuro: Please don’t be offended by my reference to her still being jobless at 28. In her case, she isn’t even trying. Her maturity level, as evidenced by the way she writes on Facebook, is stuck at college age.)
I have chosen to give her the benefit of the doubt that she really loves Jesus, as she has written (in private communication) about how important Jesus has been in her life, & how she loves Him, etc. But I often have my doubts because of her uber-liberal stances on political & social issues (although one can be very wrong but still saved), & mostly because of her contempt for conservative Christians (as well as conservatives in general, & libertarians, too).
Yesterday evening, YF wrote a post on Facebook about not looking to the Old Testament to base our moral values on (specifically with regard to LGBT folk). She wrote about the verse in Deuteronomy that says that one of illegitimate birth, & their descendants, cannot enter the congregation of the people of Israel for 10 generations, & went on to say that that would mean that most families these days would not be welcome in church. She went on to say that “… some Old Testament stuff is good, some of it is absolutely outdated and horrible. A lot of it is really petty…”
Although I have not been commenting on her posts for a while, I decided to simply explain a bit to her about the different kinds of OT laws, & explained that the thing about illegitimate births was for the people of Israel, not for the church today. I emphasized that a lot of those laws were to keep Israel pure, & distinct from the nations around them. I also told her that the law was meant to point us to our need of the Savior.
Her reply to that showed that she really is ignorant about the OT (not necessarily about what’s in it, but what it means). She kind of mocked the idea of being forbidden from eating shrimp or wearing clothing made of a blended fabric. She again used the word “outdated”, but this time she added “idiotic”. I gasped at that. And it convinced me that she may “love Jesus”, but not the real Jesus of the Bible.
As I went to bed last night, my heart was burdened for her, & I spent some time praying for her, for God to open her eyes, save her, etc.
Thanks Mumsee. Now it will take weeks to get that outta my head. I will now annoy my daughter endlessly with my rendition of it at the strangest of times and places, all because you put that song in my head. It’s a favorite of mine for unknown reasons.
But yeah, hilarious. 🙂

Friday nights: Always interesting to listen to the editor sigh and swear a couple times as he’s reading your story. At least I think that’s what he’s doing, maybe he’s multi-tasking and reading something else now.
Nancy Jill, that sounds like a cool puppy. It might be hard not to expect her to be the same as your other dog, though! Years ago before I got Misten and when she was a puppy and young dog, I dog-sat a friend’s collie occasionally. Well, she was nine and old for her age at the time, and I didn’t notice that Misten was marked nearly identical to her, but the owners did. I have a photo of the old girl telling Misten to behave and Misten kinda sheepishly looking reprimanded. Their dog had been hit by a car when she was younger, and had ongoing issues, including hardly any vocalization when she barked. But in the photo she is barking at Misten and Misten kind of looks like she got caught with her snout in the cookie jar. Seeing it now, and noticing how much the two are marked alike, makes me smile, though the older dog has of course been gone for years and Misten is now 11.
We have made fun of Donna complaining about the “cold” weather in California. Well, Donna, I give you permission to make fun of me.
It has been warm here in Connecticut, with the last couple days getting up to 72*. Today, though, the humidity was also way up (currently 84%), & I ended up putting my hair in ponytails to get it off my neck. (Hair on my neck makes me too hot in the warm weather.)
Now, as the humidity has gone up this evening, even though the temperature is going down, I have put on the air conditioners (one in my bedroom, one in the living room) to bring that humidity down. (I will turn them off before bed.)
Tomorrow is supposed to be down to the upper 50s. That is nice & cool, but not cold by any means to me.
Oh, it is cold here at nights. The weekend will be warm but then we’re going all the way down into the 60s.
We love appointing government panels to study and manage things. I groan every time I’m covering an ongoing issue and the local politician announces “We’re going to appoint a task force …”
NOOooooooo! Please, not that.
We’ll see how the mayor’s task force does with El Nino.
I got to do the weather blurb again (photo was a guy sitting under an umbrella at the beach).
Temperatures hit the mid-70s along the coast Friday, perfect for a day at the beach. This weekend’s forecast? Flip flops by day, flannel sheets at night. Daytime temperatures are warming up again, expected to hit the high 70s — and near 80 — along the coast before a cool-down Monday and Tuesday. Daytime temperatures early next week will be in the mid- to high-60s. The nights? They’ll stay cold, dropping down to the low- to mid-50s this weekend and then down into the 40s next week.
