D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings

After you were positive did they make you quarantine for a certain number of days? The doctor or your employer?
I've heard varying lengths of time. Like all of this you hear a different 'expert' say something different each day.
Damn hippies. They screw things up for everybody.
Glad to hear of your recovery. That is great news.
Until I read the D League this morning I was not aware of the game tonight. I completely forgot about it... and it is Kansas, a game that has a lot of history behind it.
I almost forgot.. Yesterday was St Andrews Day. Happy belated St Andrews Day for those who have some Scottish blood. I have a whole bunch of it
I was a worse hippie than Democrat. Little bit of weekend weirdo.Damn hippies. They screw things up for everybody.

I got out of there just in time. Daughter sent me this pic. Her car at her and her mom's place in Forge Ridge. Cousin said Crossville-Sparta area was bad. Other cuz in KY said Nolin Lake received a little.
Ours was 10 days from the first sign of symptoms.
I grew up hanging Aluminum siding for my Dad when I got big enough to pick up scraps I went to work a lot of days I was off. Well before my teens. I worked my Uncle Coy's tobacco when we visited. I sold and serviced heated high pressure washers in Detroit and also welded on box cars for a couple years while in high school. (Whitehead and Kales in Detroit) Working is a good thing! I crawled under houses for 20 years before I got into my current profession. (many homes in Kentucky counties; Jefferson, Bullitt, Green, Adair, Taylor, Marion, Nelson, and a host of others but those were the main counties... I've always worked. Never not worked...
Oh and may you work because you love God, not to be saved but because you are saved! God Bless you all!!!

Racist flag..... Has a white cross...
(Note: I am definitely joking.)
We were scheduled to go on a group tour to England, Scotland and Ireland this past summer, and then the Covid hit. We were going to stay an extra week and take the high speed train under the channel, to Paris for a couple of days and fly out of there, back home. Didn't work out, but I'm hoping that a vaccine will solve this and we can go in the summer of 22, Lord willing.
Colonists. That is the new category that some group of radicals is using to justify tearing down and defacing monuments.
It is a real problem. It's happened here in my area. Especially smaller churches with an older congregation. Closed up for good.
I am on the same track. I have a friend who lives in Drummore, Scotland on the coast about 12 miles across the channel from Northern Ireland. He sent me loads of information on my family heritage as our people originated there. We call ourself Scot-Irish but over there they are know as Ulster Scots. Ulster, Northern Ireland.
I had a trip planned where I would fly in to Dublin, head over to Northern Ireland and catch the ferry to Scotland. I was going to spend a week there. From there we planned to head into England, go over to Paris and on to Normandy Beach. If we had a few extra days we were headed to Belgium and back then fly from Paris back home. I already had the tickets booked but then I got the spinal problem and it knocked us out of that. But it is still in my dreams.
HR told me quarantine 10 days from first symptom, then I have to be symptom free for 24 hrs without any medication.
Ali...
Just because it is a good video...
I think that was his then wife Veronica's Mom. I met her if I am not mistaken about her identity. Sure looks like her. I went to an insurance class with her in Louisville.

Met an older man a few years ago in a bowling alley in Louisville who claimed to be Ali’s brother. Can’t remember his name, but he was a nice fellow. Had huge hands for his size. I could see a resemblance maybe. I believed him, but he could have been lying, who knows.
Our church has grown smaller over the past few years. Ten years ago, we had 150 on an average Sunday. By the time that Covid hit, we were down to about 80-95 on an average Sunday. The trouble I see is that our congregation keeps getting older and people have gone into nursing homes, or passed on. We are not getting any younger families to join because our congregation, in getting older, don't associate that much with younger families. The other reason is that not near as many people attend church in this day and time. I remember when we first moved here, in Nov. of 1974, you would not see but maybe one house on our street that did not attend church. Now, on Sunday, ours is the only house that is unattended because we are attending worship services. During the pandemic, our congregation has been faithful with their tithes, and our financial situation is probably better than it was before the pandemic, simply because a lot of this large facility is not using utilities, Sunday school materials have not been needed, etc. But, going forward, a dropping attendance will probably be an issue.
His mother in law was really nice. She gave me Ali's Michigan address and told me if I wrote to him he would write back. The regret I have was I never did it.
Ali came to the UK-UL football game, at Commonwealth Stadium. I believe it was 2013 and he was hustled out by his entourage, in the middle of the last quarter. I was next to the elevator, where I had been visiting with my Dad. Dad had just left to go to the car, and I was going back to check on my people when he came out of the elevator. He was getting frail, but he was walking on his own. I said, "Hello Champ" and he smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up. I have a signed poster, promoting a workout and autograph session from the late 60's, hanging in my garage.
Our church has been blessed with a congregation that is pretty mixed. Most are older, but there a quite a few in the 25-35 range and younger, and quite a few in the over 35 range. We have been blessed by the Lord in that regard.
We have also been blessed to not have a lot of folks with the virus. We have had some, and have some with it now, but thankfully not like some that have just been overran with it.
I got to meet Wah Wah Jones at a football game years ago. Was especially cool for me since we are both from Harlan county. An extremely nice gentleman. How cool would have been to be him? Play for both Rupp and Bear Bryant. That's quite the life.
I imagine he had some great stories to tell.
As American society becomes more and more secular church attendance suffers, Europe was a perfect example of this. The main line churches especially.
I attended a church in Cumming, GA founded by Dr Richard Lee and we started in an empty storefront with a handful of members. By the time I returned back to Florida the congregation was over 5,000 and growing. Our church campus was worth multi millions and the contribution to the community could not be measured.
Currently I attend a church pastored by a cousin and we are in the midst of a multi million dollar youth program building. Also a complete remodel of our main sanctuary. Evangelical churches remain strong and growing in some areas of the country. Others, like New England not so much

Curious to know, but did your church 'change' in order to attract younger members? Seems that starting about 20 years or so ago, many churches thought they had to change the music, message, etc in order to attract new, i.e, younger members. To the point it's almost impossible these days to find a church that sings the old hymns.
I try not to be a curmudgeon, but some of the 'new music' I really don't care for. Not really songs, but the same 2 or 3 lines over and over.
I use to occasionally go to Rehoboth in Tucker when Dr. Lee was there. Knew he had left many, many years ago but didn't find out until not too long ago that he started that church in Cumming. He was a really good speaker. I've got one of his books.
And, or course now you have Dr. Stanley's (was a member of First years ago) boy with his mega-church in Alpharetta.
No, no change. First Redeemer had two services, the first was more youth oriented with a "Worship Team" and the current "worship songs" found in churches. The 10:30 service was a traditional Southern Baptist. We sang out of the hymnal, my favorite being the Red Back, and had an outstanding choir. Few churches in America can match First Redeemers choir. Here is a little example of the church choir and orchestra from the second service. It came from the Easter Program and starts a little slow but it builds and has a great soloist.

He also has a satellite church in Cumming. It is amazing. As he speaks in Alpharetta, his image also appears in the church in Cumming and both get the same message. Thousands attend the satellite church and thousands the main church. Churches have gone high tech.
Dr Lee retired a few years ago and the associate pastor became the pastor. He is a young dynamic minister, Jeff Jackson.
Got my last THIN BLUE LINE BADGE delivered today, while I was there I got orders for 2 more. Going to cut out some more, have them ready to solder together when needed! GOD IS GREAT!!!!!
Great work. You are using your talent.
I had the privilege of talking with Wah Wah a bunch of times, since his seats were in one of the sections where I supervised ushers. He sat in Sec 16 and he would let people who had upper level seats, sit in his seats down low in 16. He would stand up at the top of the stairs, with my ushers and tell stories the whole game. He always had a drink in his hand, from down in the Blue-White room. To my knowledge, he was the only person to ever be All-SEC in 3 different sports. Great guy, and the Committee of 101 always uses Bluegrass Tours when we travel. I think his son now runs it.
Cord, he certainly blessed you with this talent. You do great work.
Is that Andy? If so, he had a half hour on Dr. Stanley's show, Sunday, about parenting in the 21st century. Excellent speaker. His father taught him well.
When Andy first went out on his own and started his church in Alpharetta, him and his dad had a bit of riff. Andy was the new style preacher...casual clothes, etc. Dr. Stanley is old school...proper, suit and tie, etc. But they have long since patched their differences, but I seem to recall that they didn't speak, or very little for a number of years. There's a video of (I think) Andy interviewing his his Dad and them talking about it.
Same here, Sawnee. I have the classic characteristics to prove it: Stubborn, belligerent (on occasion) and cheap.I almost forgot.. Yesterday was St Andrews Day. Happy belated St Andrews Day for those who have some Scottish blood. I have a whole bunch of it
So it is Andy. He did a good job, on his Dad's show. Onto basketball. Why in the world does ESPN schedule the UK game at 9:30 when the preceding game doesn't start until 7:30? That first game will not end until, at least, 9:30 and then they have 20 minutes of warm up. Why not just show the first game 7:30-9:30 and then have a half hour review/preview, then show the UK game at 10:00? I just have never understood this and is one of my pet peeves.
They are playing at two different locations. Duke is playing at home against Michigan State. I am not sure where we are playing, I hope it is not in Kansas. So we should be good to go at 9 :30 unless OT of course
Uk is in Indianapolis. Not sure why they split up the locations but not surprised Duke would be at home.
