Why I like Facebook

-
I'm a Facebook fan.  I think it's a great way to keep in touch with friends and creep to get the scoop on people who you really have no business knowing the "scoop" about.  I would hazard a guess that most of us have been guilty of it at least once or twice.  I admit it.  In fact, I kind of laugh about it.

So this really happened to me last night.  I had to go into work early for a doctor's appointment for my back, which really, really, really hurts.  Really really really really hurts bad.

That means my shift ended early.  When I got off, for some reason I was thinking about the most recent former Mrs. Cooper.  That happens with infrequency.  I mean that.  That ship sailed.  I think though it was something the immigrant said that kind of made me feel badly.  For about a minute.  I just talked to God about it, told Him as far as I was concerned it was all forgiven.  Holding onto it, or taking it back just isn't something I wanted to do.

I was in the left turn lane and looked up to see the license plate on the car in front of me.  It said, and no word of a like "THIRD I".

This is a post about Facebook.  If you look at my page today, you'll see that a Boeing website shared a recruiting video for the 101 ARW.  Bangor, Maine is home to the 101 ARW, known globally (no boast, these guys are infamous!) as the Maineiacs.  Bangor, Maine is where I met said "THIRD I".

Listen, I'm just telling you a story.

Odd things like that happen all the time.  I don't know that it means anything.  I don't know that it doesn't either.  What I do know is that it doesn't change how I feel about the whole situation.  I also saw a brand new Toyota Tundra when I was thinking about my Who.  I was thinking about her this morning when I looked up from the gas pump and saw a white car with an Oregon license plate.    Those kinds of things happen to me all the time as well.

Does any of it add up to anything?  I doubt it.  Sometimes there are little road markers (I frequently see them on Facebook) that just seem to pop up with no particular purpose other than they may play into something I told someone.  Often times, when I share a lot of stuff at once, it's something that's telling a story about my day.

You just never know what's gonna happen.  It's why I can't plan things for more than three minutes in advance.

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
