Interesting dreams. I had bad dreams last night. One was kind of brutal. I blame it on the chocolate I had before bed, chocolate always gives me weird dreams, but I eat it anyway. :rolleyes: I wonder if one's personality type (INFJ, ENTP, etc.) affects their usual type of dream?

It fascinates me too! Although, you don't want to know about my dreams. They're crazy! Often post-apocalyptic and usually involves me saving the world. I have them almost every night. Crazy, I say!

Actually the culprit in this case is 404,000 miles. I replaced the axle bearings about 50,000 ago. The axles on my truck are probably the only thing that doesn't leak. :p I was highly confident that it was the t-case myself because I could feel the vibration in the t-case shifter. I wouldn't have expected a rear axle vibration to transfer through the drive shaft so well.

It is quite obvious that he did remove and open the t-case, there's no other way to come up with a spotless t-case with new gasket sealer at all the access points when everything else around it is coated in grease and grime.

If I end up having to take him to court it should be an open and closed case.......the work order that he wrote up after I dropped the truck off does not have my signature.

Way to go! No better way than no signature. :)

Still.........404,000 & no worn out gears in the transfer? It better be a 3/4 -1 ton diesel, or else you're probably driving a ticking time bomb.

It still may not be the rear end itself...... front universals or the main bearing on the rear end might be wore out. A dented driveshaft could do that too.

Another day, another wedding. Fourth one this year. Meh.

Each time I visit a Catholic church, I admit that I get a little uncomfortable. As Honest mentioned in a recent thread, Catholic sanctuaries are often overflowing with graven images, and it just feels so...off. Nonetheless, I know for many, this is the only house of God they know. I'm always respectful, and I participate in everything save for their communion and any responsive readings that declare the Catholic Church to be the "One True Church." I am here to celebrate for my friends, and that's what matters.

Hopefully the last one for this year, at least. This is getting silly.

Perhaps it's personality, but I know that the medication that I am on for epilepsy the side effect is vivid dreams. Our minds are quite busy at night

I spent a couple of hours at Chuck E Cheese this morning (and I've only had about 6 hours sleep in the past 2.5 days). As I told some friends earlier, I felt safer transporting people to prisons than I did at Chuck E Cheese.

I have a feeling "Chuck E" himself wasn't too thrilled to be there either. It was the saddest Chuck E dance I've ever seen. :) I took a couple of videos of the dancing if I can figure out how to upload them from my phone. :)

And now I'm showing my parents' ages...uh-oh. I've pretty much guaranteed myself a grounding. LOL

Grandpa Gaither seem to be more & more into the big leagues........ I become suspicious of anyone in ministry becoming a multi-millionaire. It's one of my "realist" weaknesses, lol!

I wouldn't worry Julianna, the 50 evil cats outside my house that I dreamed about last night can eat the rats in your nightmare. That my friend is called teamwork :)

Alphagetti is the equivalent, but with letters not animals. And I have the sneaking suspicion taste better than Zoodles.

I hate baking.

I promised my eldest daughter (#1 in a set of three) that I would send her some cookies. Not just any cookies, but my grandmother's oatmeal cookies as a belated B-day present. I am also going to get one of those money card thingies, then send them to Ohio, where she is schooling, on Monday.

I'm also going to bake a zucchini nut cake and take it to one of my favorite people - - a 91 y.o. woman from my church (I may have mentioned she was 94 in a previous post...oops! Sorry, Margaret!!).


I love cooking, though. It's different from baking in that I can experiment with seasonings and methods rather than follow a recipe, such as in baking. Still, if I am baking for people I love, I guess it's not such a chore.

you can experiment with baking too! :D though maybe not quite as much
For instance: Maybe the cookies / cake will be even more yummy if you add a tad of cardamom or ginger

When Christ cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?", even then He didn't sin. Which really made me wonder. I've yelled at God a few times. Questioned Him. In some of that, I know I have sinned. But it seems that there is a way to do it without sinning...but I haven't made that connection yet. It probably has to do with the heart, though it makes me wonder what Christ's heart was like at that time. There was obviously pain. Overwhelming agony in a physical sense and spiritual sense. Is only Christ allowed to question God? And yet, they are one.

I'm so confused now.

I know that I either dream and don't remember, or don't dream at all.

This is true.

The cake is actually a re-creation of my mom's. I made several batches last summer and finally came up with something that was true to what she used to make. I like the cardamom idea, as I cook with it a lot - at least more than the average American. I submitted the recipe to allrecipes.com but got a little ticked when they changed my background information on the recipe to make me sound more "house-wifey."
