Morning ladies! It is raining but warm here today. I got rained on when I went for my walk, but it stopped fairly quickly. Ended up soaked though!
Jean: We like traditional services. I am pretty tired of churches that seem to think that the only people that matter are the younger ones so they jazz up the services to try and get them to come in (though they still don't seem to) and we end up not knowing what the songs are. I LIKE the songs in the hymnals! Don't get me wrong, when we were members of the church in Indiana, when I sang I did a lot of Sandi Patti stuff, Gaither stuff, but give me the old stuff anytime. I am not big on preaching to the masses about how to get richer, etc either. My sister is big into that kind of stuff and personally, I don't think the Bible talks about how to get rich! Umm, didn't the rich man go to **** and ask Lazarus to give him water from heaven? Don't get me wrong, money is fine and we need it to survive, but I don't go to church to listen to, "How to better balance my checkbook!" No kidding, her church, in CA, which is huge did a series on stuff like that! The problem here is you have black baptist churches, then Southern Bapt churches and that is it. They have one independent baptist church here but it is full of NUTS who chastised my husband for allowing his wife to work! That was it, so long brother, when you tell my husband he should get me in line. We do just fine with our marriage the way it is! I have nothing against SB, but we visited at least 10 and found them all to be pretty liberal in their theology and we just don't believe that way. I do miss church a lot and try to get my sermons from tv to keep me in line so to speak!
Gloria: The new age of computers is fabulous, but when the darn things don't work right it is a pain in the behind! Our pc, which is about 5 years old, had Windows ME installed in it and has never worked properly because of it. We need to cough up the money and get a Windows 2000 upgrade, but I am cheap!
Oooh, I got a catalogue in the mail yesterday that had 4 pages of I love Lucy stuff. I was in hog heaven, though they had a chair (they called it a casino slot chair, but it was like a bar stool chair) they wanted like $250 for! They have a cute comforter I would love to have to put in the spare bedroom when we fix it up, but it is $170. I guess I will just have to keep buying the cheaper stuff like eye glass cases and whatnot. I have several lucy things that family and friends have bought me including a really nice Hamilton Mint Porcelein Lucy Doll dressed in her Carmen Miranda outfit. My sister bought it for me one year for my birthday. They have a cute checker set I would like to have to put on the table upstairs in that room. The checkers are all hearts.
I don't have to worry about spending money in Vegas on an expensive concert. No one is going to be there when we are! I have a sneaking suspicion maybe dh had a hand in getting them all out of town that week!
So, we will go see those dimwits Penn and Teller and even they are $75 apiece. Jack wanted to see Blue Man group, but they are WAYYYY over the top. I think they look idiotic. As for the boobs and bun places, looks like they are mostly if not all down in the Fremont street area and well away from where we hang out. Though it is not really a place for kids, no matter how hard they tried to do that a few years ago, you can go there and not be a gambler and still have a lot of fun. They have a couple Guggenheim museums, a Madame Tussaud's, a shark thing, a lion habitat, and lots of other stuff that is free to see. We didn't go on the gondola ride last time, so we are going to take a ride this next time and go into Madame Tussaud's. The one in Vegas has I Love Lucy in it.
Well, guess, I need to get some lunch in me. I have been trying to eat a good breakfast then have bloody mary mix without the booze for lunch with a little cheese or crackers or pretzels something like that and try and keep it under 300 cal.
Everybody have a good day........MAGGIE SWEETY, HOPE YOU AREN'T SLIDING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN WHERE YOU ARE!
