Eternity is going to be long for these folks listening to newsmax and gathering to sing and eat in church with no masks! 
 

just in our little snark corner, JRod’s mom’s church has had an outbreak and the Shrader church has had an outbreak. The ERs are full ya’ll. Stay. Home.

But what about Messiah, Gary? Handel set your beloved KJV to music.

I'm hoping we are back to in-person church by next Christmas, just so we might do Messiah. Our current music minister isn't as big on that stuff as our previous one, so who knows, but it'd be really nice to sing Messiah in our nice new sanctuary once it's finished. (So close... it's been like 4 years since the fire and it's ALMOST finished - they're livestreaming from there now, and there's a new stained glass window in, but the pipe organ is yet to arrive.)

We sang Faure's Requiem once, and that was by far my favorite.

I don't generally sing in the choir, but I'd join back up for Requiem or Messiah.

I suggested that she was hoping for money.  She got a bunch of prayers and then this:

Of course she answered that one pretty quickly.  Exactly what could be going on with Becky that she'd need a monitor that cost $700 with the pricey test strips?  It can't be blood glucose levels because those monitors aren't very expensive.  

And shame on her for trolling her fans for money.  I imagine that the insurance covers it if she is monitored by her doctor at the office.  I guess she just wants to make sure she can still travel with Bro Gary.

Stay in NC and let Gary travel on his own, Becky.

Gary seems to think an apostrophe means "Oh no! Here comes an S!"

Also - Gary, you don't work. The "KJB" therefore says YOU shouldn't eat. (An aside, everytime he posts "KJB" I think "KGB" instead. Anyone else?)

Oh, wait. Apparently yelling at people for an hour a couple times a week counts as "work". 

Becky, you need a HOME to have a HOME monitor, right? Also I wonder what insurance she has. 

Guh these people are so STUPID.

No  it's for prothrombin time--blood clotting--when you're on coumadin.Medicare and Medicaid both pay for the monitor, which is more like $500, not $700, but whatever. However there are certain conditions you have to meet: You have to have been on anti-clotting therapy and monitoring for at least three months, you have to have undergone a face-to-face educational program on anticoagulation management, and you can't test yourself more than once a week (so no eating whatever the hell you feel like and then testing to titrate your meds every day. I expect private insurance, if that's what they have would have the same restrictions. Gary just can't be bothered to take Becky to the coag clinic once a week, is my guess.

So is it that it's a dress, that it has sleeves, that it has a high front..? She's still immodestly showing her hair (harlot!), wearing make up (lady of the night!), showing from mid-calf to her ankles (horror!), and wearing patterns to draw the eye (*swoons in aghastness at the utter shamelessness*). Modesty is a cultural construct, and Gary and Becky know damn well that jeans and top are equally as modest in their cultural setting. Get over it, both of you.

Yes - I found where she says so, further down the thread:

image.png.225965e142850116bcd09dc22f2a850d.png

They seem to vary in price - I don't know if there is a specific one she needs.

I think you're right. And being monitored weekly is something Becky may have needed before this surgery - I think she's had blood clots before, so I am guessing that she has been on coumadin for a long time. It's entirely possible she should have been monitoring weekly long before this, but just shrugged it off because Gary wanted to travel. Maybe the inability to get her levels straightened out post-surgically has made even "I'm fine, dear" Becky worried.

ETA - thinking that Becky has been on blood thinners makes me even more pissed off about the fall she had, that Gary turned into a story, only hours later, for a message on unexpected events, while still expecting her to play the piano, sing, sit through church, and probably wait on him hand and foot as usual.

Falling while on a blood thinner is no small thing. Falling in the wee hours of the morning, hard enough to break the bathtub spigot and feel unable to get back into bed unassisted is even scarier. I bet her modest clothing was hiding a lot of bruising after that.

If Becky is an idiot/martyr/doormat about not taking care of herself, she is at least partly to blame. But it does help if someone like that is married to a spouse who isn't a selfish shit, and insists they go to the ER or see a doctor.

Too bad, Becky -  you are married to Gary, which means you are on your own trying to stay alive.

There's no way Gary wrote that on his own.  Either Becky told him what to say and he typed it out as best he could, or Becky wrote it and left some errors to make it look like Gary was the one doing the typing.

Either way, I was hoping that Becky would eventually realize that she was attached to a loser and disengage herself, but she seems all in on this.

On paper, she seems smarter than to have fallen in with an ignorant buffoon.  What happened to her?

My son had some issues back in August, which led to pulmonary blood clots. He was given  50/50 chance of survival. Thank God, he pulled through, but he is facing, possibly, a life time of problems. After a 3 week hospitalization, he had a visiting nurse to check his clotting levels for 6 weeks because of Coumadin. Now he's on zeralto (sp.?) and it is much better leveled. Becky should not be traipsing all over if she's been dealing with blood clots, she needs care. BroHawk is going to be the death of his wife.

My mother was on Coumadin for clotting issues. At one point, her doctor found a clot in her leg which was confirmed by imaging. My mother ended up staying with me for a while so I could give her Heparin injections. (Her doctor thought she should be able to give them to herself despite having a bad tremor by that point.) Not one of my favorite memories.

Becky is also apostrophely-challenged*, so I don't think she deliberately left in errors. I agree it's definitely not GHaw's work.

My guess is that after her previous husband left her for another man her self-esteem was in the basement. She might have seen Gary even in his worst moments as more than she deserved, and when he was complimentary toward her, a real keeper. Becky, you deserve better! Not much better, given that you are still a right-wing, conspiracy-embracing nut job, but better.

This has been roughly my theory about her, as well. She may even have felt that Gary was her cross to bear, her penance. But there are other possibilities.

Unless I missed it, I don't think we know the exact sequence of events - whether they tried to keep it together after her ex came out to her, or he fell in love with his current husband while still in the closet to her, or they broke up and both started dating and eventually met their new spouses, etc.

I'd love to know if she was already steeped in rigid Baptist stuff (Gary says her church was "liberal" by his standards, but, by his standards, virtually everything is!) before her marriage ended, or if she went down that path after finding out her husband was gay.

Since we've seen that the teasing goes both ways, and that Becky has a mean streak, I can even imagine her choosing Gary because she enjoys his being highly mockable due to his stupidity, a person who enjoys the back-and-forth of mutual insults, or both.

While I'm here, I'll take sometime:

Gary, Becky and Jacob went for a drive with a live, to look at the Tanglewood Festival of Lights. Lots of tooth sucking ensues.

https://www.forsyth.cc/Parks/Tanglewood/fol/?fbclid=IwAR1fLuxCu0-Qs4ZVfDc5z0VtxA8ZI5otU24YwX42f1Ee6YRmxVm0wX1_IJ8#hours-rates

He has the camera looking out the front windshield, so we can see the Christmas lights. Mostly, we see the brake lights of other cars for ten minutes, with the occasional teeny bit of the Christmas display peeking through.

Spoiler

image.png.b42ce6d0b4bae398c76d2333ebca22d6.png

Gary tells us that Thanksgiving was good (in a previous post, Becky showed us the turkey), says he didn't eat too much, and "half of their kids" were there.

"All the mess goin' on, thingssssssss goin' on, the devil's fightin', but Jesus is still on the throne, and as of right this second - ah ain't expectin' nothin' to change, but as of right this second, President Donald Trump is the president of the United States. So . . . if you thank he's gonna get out of there, that's fahn, you kin be wrong if you want to."

He says his mama's scared to death "she thinks Mr. Cooper's comin' to our house." He laughs heartily at this. Gee, Gary, wonder where she heard such ridiculous paranoid ideas?

Jesus is in control, and Gary preaches on that for a little while, as they creep along. He mentions some recent illnesses and deaths of people he knows.

"Job buried ten children. All o' mahn still alive and well, praise the Lord. Yeah, they ain't what they should be, and some them don't want nothing to do with me, but hey, ah'm not cha - ah'm not leavin' the Gospel and ah'm not forsakin' Jesus so ah kin have family members. Jesus is a whole lot more important to me than family members, ah kin tell that raht now."

Just a reminder, folks - the three children they do still get to see are his children. The four they don't are Becky's - I think he never even met them until about six years ago. Nice job there, Gary, rubbing salt in Becky's wounds as you crawl along in the car.

Gary goes on about things for which he is thankful, including the fact that his truck is working. He saw on Facebook that this was someone's first Thanksgiving without his dad, or maybe mom, Gary can't remember. But Gary's parents are fine, and his Mom got up and "she was raht in the middle of 'em, in the kitchen, workin' hard."

Gary rambles on about all of the relatives that were there, and how he "even talked about Jesus a little bit."  :roll:

Gary tells us to enjoy our night of "family and friendssssssss," and brags about the fabulous turkey he made. 

He and Becky are going to do Walk Away the Pounds tonight, but he's checked with his gym to find out if they will still be open despite the mandate, and they said he should keep on coming in. Gary's glad he lives in America.

Funny how the guy from South Dakota doesn't cite that claim they were all passing around a few months ago, about how there had only been four deaths, or four cases per 1000 people, or only four cases (it kept changing, like a game of telephone).

Gary has an additional comment from a Facebook friend now.

 "I will be. I'll obey God's commands to assemble, to preach, to serve, and to tithe to His church. It's still the Word in 2020!"

Gary, of course, liked this comment.  That's really all it's ever been about.  If people don't attend, they don't tithe and, if they don't tithe, Gary doesn't get paid.  I think that it would be entirely different if the system had always paid Gary by mail or online.  He'd be happy to preach from his recliner.  

He's afraid that the church populations won't be back to pre-Covid levels when this is over and he's right to be worried about that.  This has changed things for a lot of people.  However, pretending that the Covid virus isn't potentially deadly won't change anything.  Gary's just going to end up endangering more people.

      I love baseball but I'm dreading the new season because the White Sox ownership is THE FUCKING WORST. I watched Dominican League Baseball (Lidom!) over the winter and fell in love with their joy, spirit, and exuberance. The broadcasts were in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty weak but I loved catching phrases and repeating them. Bombe! I'm sad about MLB and Commissioner Idiota's busywork rules. But I love baseball, always and forever.
      I guess I don't have a point. Just bitching. Te amo mucho, Lidom!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!
