Willow a friend texted me about a full time job at a supermarket in Westgate but I think you are too far away and in another country to consider it.
I said to her, I am sure Pak N save will find someone if the pay is good.
I am not sure why she is txting me about job vacancies as I already have a job but you are the only one I know who is currently looking.
My thing would be to see if you can actually work from home. A lot of businesses now cant afford their rents and are cutting staff because the overheads are too high. If you work from home, you dont need to pay overhead and can claim things back on taxes. That is if you already have a home. I dont know what your circumstances are.
so, maybe think about what skills you have that are homebased. Also, now you know how to make pizza maybe you could have a home pizza oven and it the fresh ones will taste better than one thats been cooked and then frozen and reheated again. Otherwise most of work pay goes into the commute, so if your business is a mobile business from your car (if you have one) you can claim mileage.
i know its weird that we work to pay for all of this when its so unnecessary and a completely waste of time and money, but that is how the modern world seems set up unfortunately...to fund someone far away in the govt who goes on overseas trips all the time.

sounds delish
all the best for your interview
when I was younger my dream job was to be a mobile librarian (I take the books to the people! ) but some of the mobile library trucks back then were too big for me to handle. But NOW they actually have vans that are smaller (maybe someone saw the light) and easier to get around in. So maybe I could still do that job in the future if I end my current gig and have pop up library at the beach etc.

Hi Tony! Lovely to see your smiling face around CC!
Well today I have been catching up on Proverbs, I wish I could print it out and wallpaper my room with it and stare at it all day! I have been doing physio because I was being a bit of a Humpty Dumpty. Driving was a bit easier so got some photos printed out of family members. Snacked on Dunkin donuts and hot chocolate. Boy those marshmallows are so melt in your mouth! Now Im sat here with a hot water bottle trying to warm up the joints so I can potter around the house. I havent seen my childs cat nor his buddy but I think its the rain keeping them away. Ate sushi for dinner with donuts (again!) with some choc chip cookies I was gifted today. So I might be awake at midnight but at least I can enter a confession (possibly). Grateful for CC!

And we are grateful that you are sharing your time and insights with us all. Thank you. 🙂
And thank you for your kind words, they are most encouraging.
Sounds like you've had a very nice day. Proverbs is such a great book and source of Godly wisdom. Well done you on reading it. I believe God referred me to Proverbs 31 yesterday after prayer, to use that in backing up my opinion on another chat site that the husband doesn't have Lordship rights over a wife. Another member was more or less claiming they do, and in my opinion that is a misunderstanding of the headship role God has allocated to the male.
I tuck into a hot chocolate in the evenings sometimes, it's a nice way to top off the evening meal I find.
Did you see a physiotherapist for help, or do your own treatment?

When you say Lordship rights over a wife, are you meaning that a wife submitting to her husband, that is debatable? Just curious.
And yes I am seeing a physiotherapist, I tried to avoid it because I had watched too many scenes of limbs being broken and snapped but now Im glad for it because even though its a slow recovery to heal, I am in a better place than I was 2 weeks ago
I wont be running marathons but then again I wasnt doing that before the fall lol

A pretty good day here in SE Queensland. There's a fair bit of rain around at the mo, and it's a little bit chilly. I wish we could divert some of that over the Equator to our northern hemisphere friends. So sorry to hear of the heatwave and fires that many of you are having to deal with. I hope you all remain safe and well.
Had exercise physiology at the gym first up, then coffee at a local cafe before heading home to oversee the window and flyscreening and other cleaning work by someone that I got in to do it. The rest of the day was spent being warmed by a little pedestal heater I use, and dealing with a little four-legged nightmare that had been offended by my letting a stranger into the house.
May everyone have a great day. Shalom 😊

I don't know exactly what the poster had in mind as to what a 'lordship' role actually means to him. I said in my opinion, a headship role is not Lordship. Lords have subjects, spouses have partners, and the only Lord in a Christian marriage is the Lord Jesus Himself.
The danger when a male thinks they have Lordship rights over a spouse is they can assume that their spouse is subservient to him, and he can make unilateral decisions as to what is to happen in a home, which would be both a stupid and dangerous strategy.
Anyway, in my response to his post I used the euphemism the Lord gave to married couples, that they become one flesh. I suggested that they being one flesh, and even though parts of a body have different functions, and some may seem more important than others at times, they all need to work together for success. No part of a body can claim to have ascendency over another part. Anyway, he said that my analogy and understanding was incorrect, which is fair enough. I don't mind people disagreeing with me. I said I would ask God to see what He thinks. Which I did, and Proverbs 31 came to mind.
If you look at the description of a worthy woman from verse 10 of Proverbs 31, it is obvious that lady certainly didn't lead a subservient lifestyle. Indeed, she ran the home, bought and sold property, cared for the needy, and freed the husband up to do his manly duties. Her husband gives her praise, saying "many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all". They are not words that suggest he felt she was in a subservient role to his, but rather you could argue they were the humble words of a knowing and grateful husband, partner and spouse.
I'll have to do a search to see if there is something similar in the Bible that defines the attributes of a worthy husband, to that of a worthy wife as described in Proverbs 31. The start of Proverbs 31 defines some of the desirable attributes. Do you have any thoughts?

Sorry I didnt see a notification that you replied! Oops. But thank you. I always thought subservient (to a husband) meant that you could still work, run a household, care for others (children etc) and have outside of the marriage interests but..this would all be with the approval of the husband. And in those matters that you are portioned to take care of, as a wife you have an opinion which you can discuss with the husband. But ultimately the decision is left with him and the wife agrees fully understanding that he came to that decision, having considered her wishes but importantly bringing it before God.
Now Im happy to be corrected
My sister and brother ran a half marathon many years ago. They had different expectations. He was fitter and ran it well. She had asthma and later told me she'd never partake in race again. Credit to her she crossed the finish line and spent a considerable amount of time looking for my brother. Eventually she gave up and made her way to the hotel, where she found him fast asleep!

having a great day so far.. But it is only 6:45 AM lol but it is Friday so weekend has started.
AS to Lordship over a wife. perhaps men need to read the Sripture that says men need to love their wives as Christ loved the Church.
IF we men only did that . what a great change the world would see.

Maybe I’ve got a wrong slant on things, but in my opinion the only time a husband would be called on to make the decision would be when the husband and wife may disagree on what to do, and the situation requires a decision to be made there and then. If the matter isn’t urgent then I recommend that the husband and wife work towards a consensus before making the preferred joint decision.
i agree, it’s important that both the partners in a marriage keep their personal interests going going after marriage. That’s important to the mental and emotional health of each of them, and therefore for the marriage too. They’ve just got to be careful their individual activities don’t consume to much of their time, and put stress on the marriage. I try to bear in mind, so that I don’t overstep the mark, that there’s a big difference between a healthy self interest, and selfishness.
Yes, me too, I’m over running a marathon, unless it’s via a motorcycle. 🙂
