Much better day today - had to go to a doctor in the public hospital system yesterday who thinks his name is God. Really hard for me to deal with on top of a possible medical problem. However, my God is in control, not that doctor!!!!!

Aussie so glad you are feeling better.I hate doctors like that, they think that they know better than everyone and know more than you know about your own body.Hope you have a better day Be safe

I almost lost my life to one of those Doctors! She claimed my Dr was overreacting and I didn't need heavy antibiotics for cellulitis. But God and the diligent nurses intervened, and got me a different Doctor. I ended up on antibiotics that were over $500 a day! But it worked. I
hope she really learned from this that she isn't God and an old Doctor from a small town might just know more than she does about certain things!

Hi darambo, exactly my sentiments. After all I have had this body for nearly 75 years and should know what it does and does not do lol. Take care. Hugs.

Hi Aussie, we must be almost the same age. I will be 74 next month. The Lord keeps me going, somehow.

Can you remember any of WW2? I can remember a couple of bits and pieces.

No, just a child when it ended and far enough away in Australia for it not to have affected me. Hugs.

My cousin just visited Pearl Harbor. They had a guy there who was the last of the Pearl Harbor veterans of that first bombing. He was in a wheelchair, quietly and graciously talking to people.
Aren't humans around the earth interesting? For example, why did the Moroccans build a square lighthouse instead of the common round shape? Maybe they had a dang good reason--but I'd like to know what it was. Just wondering........
May be they built the square lighthouse because of the materials they had, at the time they built it. It's lovely.

I tried researching this, Starrphyre, but, since I'm not an engineer, I found the explanation about structural integrity of cylinders versus cubes a little confusing. It seemed to boil down to the TYPE of material used in construction, i.e. concrete versus non-shrink grout. I also learned that the British and other countries use cubes for testing strength; whereas, the U.S. and Canada prefer cylinders. This would suggest, perhaps, that cubes are a little stronger. Also, given the location of Morocco, where this lighthouse is located, there would be a greater influence of British and neighboring countries (as opposed to American or Canadian influence). The fact this lighthouse is still functional may say something about its strength as a structure. Yes, humans are interesting. ~~~

Thanks, vmarie! Great research! On this site we get the pleasure of playing the puzzles with the side bonus of a lot of super education!

Father, may I think more of others today than I think of myself. May I lose my thoughts about myself in my thoughts of other people and their needs.
A heart that is focused on others will not be consumed with self.
I hope you are all well, that you have a beautiful weekend ahead and you have no problems or worries.
God loves you and so do I.
Thank you, Jingles, for your prayer. Wishing you a good weekend, too.
