I have an online friend from a ladies forum who said when we all get together she'll fry us chicken with her special recipe she has perfected over the years. (If we don't eat meat there I presume there will be some special formula. Unlike Gates fake meat!) Cool … looking forward to her special fried chicken. :yes: The beauty of Italian meals … you can still go vegetarian … by having the pizza with plain cheese and tomato sauce or add the veggies to it or bruschetta (served on baked pizza pie dough or french bread toasted and add chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, slices of mozzarella cheese, arugula and olive oil. And spaghetti or baked ziti served without the meatballs? Lasagna, stuff shells or manicotti with ricotta cheese :whistle: Toasted Ravioli! (not vegetarian) Dipped in melted butter. (not Kosher either) PS No no, not mozzarella, provel! (Yeah, I'm from St. Louis; lived on the Hill for 15+ years.) He said it's like Tiktok, owned by the Russians. I found this on Google: Telegram was launched in 2013 by the brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Previously, the pair founded the Russian social network VK, which they left in 2014, saying it had been taken over by the government. Pavel Durov sold his remaining stake in VK and left Russia after resisting government pressure. Pavel Durov told The New York Times in 2014 that Telegram was conceived out of a desire to have a free and secure communications platform out of the hands of the Russian state. Telegram’s developers position their product as safe and protected. But in practice that’s not entirely true: the reality is that Telegram has a number of quirks that make protecting your messages a little tricky, and it’s got nothing to do with the complexities of cryptography, but with much more prosaic stuff. Let’s take a look at some rather dubious features in both the messenger’s interface and general logic that make it less secure than is commonly believed. . . . The last paragraph came from this website: https://usa.kaspersky.com/blog/telegram-why-nobody-uses-secret-chats/27662/#:~:text=Telegra m's%20developers%20position%20their%20product,with%20much%20more%20prosaic%20stuff. Amir Tsarfati: If you feel like you are in a storm right now, remember the middle is not the end. You have a promised destination given by the One whom you do not now see but will someday. No storm can alter that, and what lies on the other side of this life and its storms, trials, and tribulations is a place of unimaginable peace and beauty where death, pain, and sorrow, and all their causes, are banished forever. Until then, we walk by faith, not sight, knowing that someday we’ll get to the other side. I sure hope so! 😁 Ooops. I told Bob we were all meeting for Sue's fried chicken. He said you're not off the hook; you're making that gravy that Tony and I drink with a straw. Ok, somebody mash the potatoes please so we have a proper place to put the gravy. I always wondered about that too, the way you described it. We're going along in life working & so forth then suddenly the whole world hears this long trumpet call, and it just goes on & on. Of course, rapture believers will hope it's the rapture, is this finally it? Platinic plates were moving some time ago and caused a long screeching low toned trumpet type sound, on u-tube people recorded the sounds all over the world. Anyone remember that? Sounded like when a large dump truck was tilting its gate to dump its load. Ppl were saying 'what is that?' I hope the trumpet sound goes off for a while before we are caught up. And then I hope that those who sleep in Christ are caught up and we get to see the entire world panic as that separate event comes to its conclusion, then those who remain we are caught up. I believe we are changed in a blink of an eye from mortal to immortal as the scripture describes. (For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.) We get our glorified bodies in a blink of an eye, not disappear like the left behind movie depicts, thats why so many ppl has this notion that we, poof, vanish! Cloths falling as we are. But we ascend upward in our glorified bodies with Jesus's glory radiating off of us, like the moon reflects the suns light. I tend to agree with your assessment that the rapture might be a sequence of events. But hey, we'll find out. P.S. This is just talk back & forth as if we were just fishing or something having a conversation, not, you are wrong & here is why! We can wonder. Thats a good-looking cup of coffee. :groan
