    A lot.
    My wife's weather app on her phone couldn't even get the hourly forecast right yesterday...not even close, kept changing drastically all day long!

    Choose your friends wisely
    By Pastor Mark Jeske

    How did you end up with the friends you have? Did they choose to hang out with you? Did life (work, school, leisure activity) throw you together and you just hit it off? Or did you consciously choose to pursue a relationship because you admired them or enjoyed their company or wanted to be in their circle?

    Parents of teenagers are nervous about their kids’ friends. They know that their own influence is diminishing and that of their kids’ friends is increasing. They know what happens to impressionable young people when they “fall in with the wrong crowd.” How does that happen? Do “wrong crowds” kidnap teens and force them to study their philosophy? No. Kids who should know better make the wrong choices because they valued inclusion and the approval of a certain group more than the approval of their parents. Or of their God.

    Some educators think that young people absorb as much from their friends as they do from their instructors. Choose your friends wisely. As best as you can, teach your children to choose their friends wisely. “Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips” (Proverbs 14:7). In Old Testament wisdom literature like the book of Proverbs, the concept of “folly” is not just doing dumb things like 40 mph donuts on an icy parking lot but choosing a life philosophy that will cause you to lose your faith.

    Which will cause you to lose your place in heaven.

    Do you think that weather forecast 20-30 years ago were more accurate? A lot of tames I believe the weather was more accurate before they had all this computer stuff.
    My wife's Facebook weather person is often more accurate than National Weather Service.

    Ice in the mouth, for 24 hours or so until the nerve dies.

    Not only that, but I would expect that you would be termed an emergency - not elective. NH dentists have always been open for emergency/urgent.

    Canadian border VT , our dentists are doing emergency calls too. Not sure if it would help a tooth but I worked with a premed student when I had my wisdom teeth out (lifeguard, I could not take the percoset they prescribed) and he told me to put a plain aspirin (not enteric coated) on my socket and between my cheek and gums, it really did help.

    Dental pain is a horrid. I had it from time to time. Now have crowns and replacements. That pain is so distracting. Good luck finding someone to deal with it.

    My Iv line blocked up again, so back to the hospital ER to have it replaced. Nurse did a darn good job putting in a new one. Just didn't care much for all the waiting. Was worth the wait. Last IV infusion is tomorrow evening, then I'll pull the line. That medication burns when I am pushing in the line. 14 days of that is enough. Lord was good to me.
    I will tell you it is so different being on the other end of the needles, care, test etc.

    0CBCE2E4-476C-4E8B-A41C-83A7EC7768A7.jpeg Had a unique experience in the 31 years we’ve lived here. A black bear in my neighbor's yard. We heard a snap while on the deck and looked over to see this sow bear. After we saw it my son checked on social media and someone a few roads over got a pic of it. Someone saw it yesterday with its cub. We’ve never had them in the development that I’ve heard of. First time for everything. Deer come through my back yard like it’s their job. Regular as clockwork at dusk. Someone in the middle of the development took a pic of it and posted it.
