Thanks. Not to change the subject, but ... I don't know about a timeline; I've been thinking about menu plans. Bob hasn't had any teeth for several years, and I have a broken one that prevents chewing normally. Once we're free to roam on our own, 1) breakfast (scrambled eggs with cheese, biscuits and gravy), 2) chef salad, 3) party at a big Steak N Shake in the sky (as the song says, Somebody give me a Cheeseburger!), 4) Our friend Sue will fry chicken for everybody, 5) Bob and I will make Hammies (mini sandwiches) for your lovely tea party. Y'all Come! oooh la la all that food sounds oh soooo fine! Anybody brave today with using your stove and cooking your last meals? I was afraid to use it earlier not knowing the timeline agenda so keeping it simple with cold Frosted Flakes cereal this morning. But now I’m dying for pizza … I got the mozzarella cheese and sauce and French bread so I think I’m going to chance it and quickly bake some right now. I also changed all my batteries in the fire alarms (6) and said hopefully this is last time ever again doing this. I also prepaid my electric bill up to June 2024 that way there will be electricity still for some left behind who breaks in and needs a place. But then … if there is an electric power grid shut down … then that is out of my hands … So what’s everyone else doing? Deep cleaning and perhaps saying goodbye to your earthly home? @geri9 Deep cleaning and perhaps saying goodbye to your earthly home? I had a new washing machine delivered today since the old one decided to die and before the delivery guy left he turned it on to run a load of water. As it was running I had to go down to the basement and I noticed it was starting to flood from the washing machine. When they hooked it up they messed up the water line and now I have a mess to clean up and a spigot to fix. Nope! Not saying goodbye. Would prefer to say good riddance! I hate doing plumbing work. Nah, I'm not worried about what happens to my stuff after I'm gone. If God wants my house to burn to the ground and everything in it then so be it. If He doesn't then He will guide me not to do certain things that may bring that about. Trying to work against the will of God is like trying to swim up Niagara Falls. It's just not possible. So I am not concerning myself with those things. Pizza sounds GREAT! I think I'll make one right now. True … before all the seals are broken (6th seal I think is … “every island and mountain” will be moved out of place) … that is going to cause major land shifting and destruction … my place is surrounded by mountains on all sides Yikes! So sorry to hear about the new washing machine flooding. Goes to show they don’t train the delivery installers like they used to. I think these calamities happen in every state … last year my brother bought a new washer and dryer and dishwasher at the same time and said he will install everything himself … he didn’t want any “issues”. I just thought he was being picky but obviously he avoided the unwanted “inside swimming pool”. @geri9 Turns out the spigots need to be repacked. 🙄 They are only 35 years old so I don't see the problem. 😆 Its the minutia that can get so annoying. Craig just posted this update Final negotiations at COP28 to continue till 03:00AM GST New moon #COP28UAE #ClimateAction#UniteActDeliver #ClimateChange#FoodSecurity #YearOfSustainability#7YearsLeft - Fair Use - New Moon can possibly be spotted on December 13th at 1:32 AM in Israel … and final draft and declaration is 4.5 plus hours after new moon spotted. - Fair Use - It’s now 1:16 am in Israel … tick tock … Thanks. Thanks for the updates Geri. I can’t imagine this not being it. When will anything like this happen again? As Pastor JD Farag says in so many words, “There’s a shelf life to what we are seeing.” And I do believe we are the remnant Church that is in the way of things proceeding. I look around and this country is unrecognizable to me. I don’t see things turning around, but only spiraling downward. I agree, Kent. It wouldn't make sense to have things go in the opposite direction. The Trump presidency served its purpose and I do not expect to see anything remotely like it again. For that matter, I do not expect there to be another election in this country and if there is it will be only with people subject to the powers that be running the one world gov't and I do not expect to be around for it if that even occurs. These last three years have been exhausting. The world is getting more and more evil ever so quickly. We are sojourners here, and I’m sojourned out. And I believe that the Lord expects us to feel that way. I try to witness every day and tell people to wake up. You all here at RITA have been such a blessing during this time. I can’t imagine if I had had to watch alone during this time. Thanks to all. I saw this over on Craig Bong's Facebook pg. From Commenter: The United Nations general assembly on their emergency session in Gaza regarding ceasefire has adjourned for the evening... From another Commenter About COP28: No agreement reached today. They are going to try again in the morning. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gz6qrh ( I listened to some of this and basically it says they are in back room negotiations, and hoping for a word at 5:00am UAE time after negotiations in the night) From Craig Bong: Three week Christmas sustainability party to follow at Expo Center in Dubai, beginning December 15th through January 7th. -Fair Use- 
for the tea jamboree parties! I can’t wait … they will be a blast with GREAT food and fellowship. 
So I’m not going to kill myself with the white gloving the dust. I just finished washing dishes though. 
sliver should be spotted at 1:32 am, Israel time, perhaps while this is ongoing.
