10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) Thread #21!

I know, but I feel guilty if I don't wait until Easter Sunday.



This is how I learned it. Not eating meat on Fridays is a form of penance. Also on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday we only eat one full meal, two very small meals, and no in-between meal snacks. Fasting and abstinence can be traced all the way back to the Jews of the Old Testament.

Lesson over. I hope it is correct. Maybe Kathy's brother can verify, although I am sure he gets tired of answering that question.

I wasn't clear, sorry. Ash Wed and Good Fri weren't in the OT, but the Jews did fast and abstain.

In this day and age, it would seem that fish should be considered "meat." I think that in those early times, meat was more of an "offering" or "sacrifice" than fish would be.

Edited to add: It has to do with "meat" being that which comes from warm blooded animals.

Yes, Paige you are correct in all of the above. Also, there was a much bigger division between meat and fish in those days.

There was also meat that was considered "clean" and meat that was considered "unclean"

Check out the first few books of the Bible and there are very specific guidelines as to what is fit to eat and what isn't.

In the NT, Peter was told in a dream to go to the Gentiles. He was immediately turned off initially due to the fact that he would have to "eat" un clean meat. His reply was, "nothing unclean has ever touched my lips"

Hi everyone, I just spent a long time catching up. Was busy last night & taught a first grade class today. Fortunately the rain held off until after their recesses - otherwise it would have been a very long day!

Thanks Di! There was so much silliness going on tonight, I just ad to join in.

Hey, Kathy, nice to see you!! I would have joined the silliness but I was busy watching TV - I like Grey's Anatomy & Private Practice because they're differnent than the crime dramas we often watch. But I like those too!!!!

Sorry I missed you Robin. Yes I also missed Bernie, Nancy, Lori and Becky. I did say hi to Kathy. I always have to catch up. So I read several pages before real time talking/writing. Maybe I can join the pillow fights. I will practice. I promise. Who wants to be my partner? How bout a Red Sox fan!!! We can wear our Red Sox shirts and hats. Diane

Don't know about pillow fights but I'm with you when it comes to catching up before I can post. I just had to read 12 pages!! And I'll definitely partner up as a Red Sox fan. We need to be sure we have Red Sox wear on the cruise.

​

Everyone
and

Happy T.G.I.F. Day!!!​

You make such lovely pictures, Andy!

Question for anybody.......

A lady I work, with who also loves Disney, is planning a trip in August. She is wanting to stay at Caribbean Beach Resort but not sure. She has read some questionable comments about it. Which area would you stay in and why do you like it so much? I have told her that I remember reading that a few of you have stayed there and loved it. She has 2 kids ages 13 and 10.

Thanks for the help.

We stayed there back in 1993. I agree with everyone about the grounds etc but one thing I remember was that we had a room with an adjoining door and you could hear everything; there was a crying baby. So if she stays there she should be sure to get a room without a door.

Are you going to hide under your desk today?.
Good Morning everybody. TGIF


Dan

Now why does he need a TGIF? Every day is Friday for him - and Sat. & Sun........

You have friends?......

Good evening from a very warm sunny England......Yes that's right i just used Sunny and England in the same sentence.....

I'm very jealous - we've had London fog and rain all day with more to come!



Mimi and Mack - sorry to hear of your decision but you're right about the kids. One day though when they have families you might all vacation together again like we do with our oldest son & his family.

Have a good evening -

Exactly, and thank goodness we realize it may be a while and have chosen not to miss this opportunity! Thanks for your encouragement!

We didn't know this when we were kids either, although I think we figured the Sunday thing out by high school.

Not sure about the no meat on Fridays thing. I was OK with that, because it usually meant pizza or grilled cheese/tomato soup, but it was barf time when my Mom made flounder (BLECH!!!)

tuna noodle casserole.....ick!!!

 

[JOANNEL]

Come on Joanne, you under estimate the creativity of accounts. Granted we think out the "other" side of the brain from the creative people, but we can come up with stuff sometimes.

To prove it, here is a poem you can use:

They call me Joanne,
I live in Florida,
In the summer
It’s sunny and torrid, uh,

I’m not much for poems,
My state won’t rhyme,
But I’m on the DIS,
Just passing the time.

Speaking of time,
It keeps ticking away;
I’m dreaming of October
And Castaway Cay.​

O.K., it is a little lame and the "uh" is in the wrong spot, but it works.

Good Job, much better than I could have done!!

 

[JOANNEL]

Exactly, and thank goodness we realize it may be a while and have chosen not to miss this opportunity! Thanks for your encouragement!

We will miss you, but understand.

Thank you Jeff for the poem,
It's much better than my own,
Disney is my favorite place
Brings a smile to my face.

 

[JOANNEL]

She's precious, Heather!

Yes she is!!! Enjoy.

 

[captchris]

Thank you Jeff for the poem,

I’ll start:

Beach bag
Towels
Sunscreen
Ziploc bags for wet swim suits
Swim Suits
Swim Suit cover up

Snorkel equipment
Book/Magazine
Pen & Paper
Camera/Camcorder

Baby Powder...amazing stuff to get sand off your feet!

I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot, so please copy and paste this post and add on!!! Parents of little one’s, don’t forget to add their stuff.

Two big drink bottles, one for water and one for diet coke, those paper cups don't keep anything cold.

Very good poem Joanne! Congrats on #4,000.

I just found out my new great-nephew's name is Colton Davis and they will call him Cole , originally my niece had been thinking of Maxwell or Christian but when she saw him she said he looked like a Cole. She and my sister and I all read a series of books that had a little boy named Cole in them and for some reason when she met her new son he reminded her of him. He slept well last night after they got settled in their hotel, none of the rest of them slept too good though, they were afraid they wouldn't hear him cry when he wanted to be fed I can't wait to meet him!

Congrats FO

I hope you're watching Chris

I think it's hysterical that the first 1 home run hit in the new Yankee Stadium went into the bleachers The next 2, off the right field and left field foul poles.

 

[JOANNEL]

I go all the time to my grandkids school to cheer everyone on. Most of the time my daughter is not able to so I am there to support them. Everyone at the school knows me as Elijah or Asiah's gramma. Diane

I want to be a grandma like you some day...

 

[JOANNEL]

Being an accountant, couldn't do a poem so eloquent like you...

Did have 12 hours of English in college for electives...Go fiqure.

BTW, taxes done and accepted by Uncle Sam within two hours...Turbo Tax is fantastic coupled with downloads from Fidelity makes taxes easy...



Walt

Refunds are coming quickly also!!

Oh yes I am. DISing and watching YES!

I can't wait to check out the new stadium two weeks from today. I did finally get my season ticket plan. I am in the left field bleachers now, but I am just happy to be in the building now.
