Love it...

Second day @the new residence of the Boss. The nurse stated: 'Are you here to see your Grandma?' 'Then...'You look so young.'

I love it when that happens...

More premises in my favour, thank God.

Thoughts

I keep informing a friend that within the Western world, 'singles' is 35 years old plus. Do not expect
young adults to attend 'singles' events you sanction.

This is an ageist, presumptuous, group think, culture which generally lacks the serious consideration of intellectual, philosophical, subtleties. There are some people within that are exceptions.

If one wants to meet young adults, one needs to attend church events (and/or ministry events) as opposed to 'singles' events.

It is usually assumed by many within Christian ministry and within the Church that people of a similar age are at a similar point if life. Assumed often, when I listen, by the Boundless ministry with Focus on the Family, for example.

This risks using lazy thinking.

Take me versus three good friends for example:

Me=r
Friend one=f1
Friend two=f2
Friend three=f3

35+ years of age (We are of similar age)

r=yes
f1=yes
f1=yes
f3=yes

Wish to retire?

r=no
f1=yes
f2=yes
f3=yes

Married?

r=no
f1=yes
f1=yes
f3=no

Have children?

r=no
f1=yes
f2=yes
f3=no

If single, would you marry a significantly younger woman?

r=yes
f1=no
f2=no
f3=yes

If newly married at our age (group), would you have children?

r=yes
f1=no
f2=no
f3=yes

Would you marry into a pre-made family?

r=no (Perhaps if very young children)
f1=no
f2=yes
f3=yes

Wish to travel in Europe?

r=yes
f1=no
f2=no
f3=yes

Wish to travel in the United States

r=yes
f1=no
f2+yes
f3=yes

Wish to work in full-time ministry?

r=yes
f1=no
f2=yes
f3=no

Merry Christmas, friends! So, how do you match with my answers?

Arrived today from my internet and cable provider

Under $10, 000

The carpeting and linoleum was tentatively purchased today, the sunroom excluded, which has a very strong floor that will receive some more good scrubbing.

The flooring being the most expensive part of this stage of renovations.

As noted in a previous entry, I purchased a matching reclining chair and a GE (General Electric) dishwasher for the kitchen. I already have a furnished loft where I live, but as the Boss is in hospital and will soon be in residence, I need to, for the sake of visitors, as in friends, work meetings, bible study (potentially) have a furnished living room. This is where the Boss used to receive home care. I am fine washing and drying dishes by hand, but as the original dishwasher, when we moved in, is broken, I cannot reasonably just leave a 'hole', so therefore I bought a new GE.

Thank you to my friendly neighbor Walter Thomas Franklin for the contacts and the offer of assistance with moving all the furniture and items.

Phase one of renovations is under $10, 000.

Phase two is significantly less important and down the road...
