Yeah, me too.

Wait, are we wanting to be there to support Shellie by crying with her or are we going so we can laugh at her while she cries?

This is important information before I can commit myself to going all the way down there.

Just kidding. Please don't drive up here and beat me up.

Shellie, I'm sorry this happened!! One woman's trials are that same woman's new appliances and TV and water heater. Hope your weekend really improves!!

What you all are really going to do is laugh at me when I pee. If I sit down in the floor and begin to laugh and cry at the same time, I guarantee I'll have to pee. :D

Observations

Postby Pastor Gary » October 31st, 2008, 10:16 am

A couple of observations:
• Not sure what this means, but every time I go out of town a bunch of stuff breaks around my home also -- major plumbing issues, an office roof collapsed during a rainstorm... stuff.
• I am amused (or perhaps bemused) that everyone assumes that all men can fix any kind of appliance or mechanical device because they have an XY chromosome pair.

you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

I believe that I am a very positive person.. and I do think it is a nice and lovely day.....just not as nice and as lovely as other days have been.

As a matter of fact, the past four months have not been quite as nice as the previous four months.

This morning could have been a little better. While transferring funds from one account to another to make some payments, I notices something odd. While in Uganda the three of us on the team stayed at a nice hotel. The cost was about $400 for seven day for the three of us. This morning the hotel ran the charge again.

I just came back from the bank and they contacted the fraud department to file a claim.

Remember in JUne while in the Philippines someone broke into our home and stole over $12,000 in items. While in Uganda we were robbed and they got about $13,000 in equipment and now today this fraud.

It is still a lvely day, because it is a day that the Lord has made....and despite the problems, I will rejoice in it. Just hope tomorrow is a little better and the weeks to come.

Really, in all seriousness, the title of your post makes it seem as though you ARE
trying to look on the bright side. :roll:

Shellie,

Is there anything that we can do to help?

Wes wasn't kidding about that Shellie. He is a true servant of Jesus Christ. I join him in his question.

Thanks guys. No help needed. It's just an aggravation and I refuse to be aggravated. Some people wash their dishes by hand, hang their clothes outside, don't have a TV, and bathe in gas station bathrooms....I'm good.

Sorry to hear about your challenging day Shellie. It appears you have me bested. Nevertheless, we did deal with a busted water main at the store today. The entire parking lot was filled with water. If that wasn't bad enough, there was a back-hoe, a large trailer, a dump truck, and two work trucks blocking my store access for most of the morning. :(
