Olga on 1194:

The feeling Olga gets from Angel Number 1094 is defeated, shocked, and hesitant. The purpose of Angel Number 1094 is summarized in these words: Call, Interview, and Ring.

Joanne's Sacred Scribes on the other hand:

Number 1194 is a compilation of the vibrations of number 1 (appearing twice, doubling its influences and also relating to the karmic Master Number 11) blended with the attributes of number 9 and number 4. Number 1 relates to new beginnings, motivation and progress, inspiration, attainment, self-leadership and assertiveness, achievement and success, fulfilment and omniscience.

Angel Number 1194 is a message from your angels that you are to use your natural lightworking talents, skills and interests to help the world awaken and heal. Your positive love and light is much needed at this time and your angels encourage you to follow through with your goals and aspirations to do with your spiritual path and life purpose.

It seems shopping Angel numbers is worthwhile, I am beginning to agree with LaMa, don't like Olga much. Joanne's scribes are looking a little better.

Looks like Olga lost her job in October/November 1994 :p
 
Just did my 40 laps plus 2 lagniappe.

I took the time, or some of it, to think about how much I have gained. Just a couple of months ago when I first got the bike I struggled with just 5 laps. The first time I had to do 3 then take a brake and then finish the last 2, and I was tired. Then I started doing more, when I first tried 8 I did not make it up the hill on the last one. Now 40 seem easy, I am sure I could do a lot more, but for now I am going to be happy with my workout, its about 40 minutes of hard breathing. I have started to push my gear higher, on the uphill that is making a difference, a harder and a little faster ride, can't pickup the speed downhill, it doesn't seem safe.
 
Safety should always come first. Getting hurt and siting around being bored because of it has been the cause of weight gain for a lot of people. Being aware of your progress is so helpful!
 
It was a good day, ate well and exercised.

We have had a real stretch of good weather, after the cold start to fall its moderating. Lows around freezing and highs in the 50s F (10s C) with sun and little wind, in our dry air that can feel almost warm. Makes riding the bike easier.

Tonight was fun, the 11 year old granddaughter had a concert. At her school she has been learning the violin, it was real impressive a group of 30 or 40 11 year olds all playing stringed instruments, and all having just started in August. The concert was short but they did several recognizable songs, I am amazed they could learn that fast. Says a lot for the music teacher I think.

In 1054 Muhammad al-Idrisi completed the most accurate world map of the time, the Tabula Rogeriana. Its accuracy was quite good, and it remained the most accurate world map for almost 500 years, until the age of discovery. Al-Idrisi, a Muslim, lived and worked in Palermo, Sicily a the court of the Norman King Roger II. Roger was known for his religious tolerance, a rarity at the time.

Al-Idrisi drew the map with with south up, the insert below is upside down.1920px-TabulaRogeriana_upside-down.jpg
 
That´s so cute with those kids already giving a concert after just a couple of month :) Yay for more pleasant weather! Also bean soup; beans are great :p
 
Rob you are blessed your grandkids live so close by that you get to enjoy them growing up .
also well done On the laps
 
Just did my 40 laps and 1 lagniappe. It is getting easier, I have been pushing my uphill speed and today's time was 36 min, 2 min off my previous fastest. Of course I still have the lap counting problem, I am sure it was at least 41, could have been 1 or 2 more.

you are blessed your grandkids live so close
Yes, that's why we moved to Utah. Tomorrow we are helping organize a birthday party for the 13 year old.
 
Isn't 1054 the date the Roman side split off from the more eastern (Orthodox) side of the Christians? Or am I mis-remembering? But the map is much more worth noting! Thank you!
Have fun at the birthday - what is the assigned grandfatherly duty for the day? Or are you general manager of good cheer through out? :party:
 
It was a good day, ate well and got my exercise in. My calories were a bit below plan, but not too bad, and I think the food I did eat was pretty healthy.

Amy, I looked up the 1054 Roman/Orthodox split and you are right, that was the year of the East–West Schism or the Great Schism. A significant break between the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church.
what is the assigned grandfatherly duty for the day?
Mostly paying for things... Not just that I spent some time with the boy tonight getting a few things ready, the event will be bowling, the small bowling place in town can be cheaply rented from 10 am to noon, before normal opening hours, so that's what we are doing. Should be fun, though I don't bowl, or haven't in a long long time. Guess I'll mostly watch.

Couldn't find much interesting that happened in 912, but it is the area code for south Georgia; was a Porshe model produced in the 60s and famously someone recently put a Tesla electric drive train in one; and Joanne's Sacred Scribes says:

Angel Number 912 brings a message that it is time for you to make some fresh starts and look forward to new beginnings in regards to the direction of your life and lifestyle choices. One door is closing behind you as another opens in front of you. This is preparing you to begin a wonderful new life and lifestyle that will see all fall into place for you in the most positive ways. These endings are clearing the way for you to fully pursue your life purpose and mission as your soul dictates. Stay balanced, focused and motivated as you look to new and different options and avenues.

Decided to skip Olga today.
 
Rob maybe join in the bowling if you think it won't cause you an injury it might be fun. I like the way you say mostly pay for things . That is so lovely . It sounds like you have a lovely family.
 
Haha I have a message on my screen now , you have one unread message from my guardian angel ,read now ?
I have a feeling the angels don't have internet in heaven so I think I might ignore !

:rotflmao: Mine must have the patience of an actual angel - I´ve been getting those messages for years now and have always ignored them.
 
It was a good day, I didn't get my bike ride in, but this my first day off since last Saturday so I think that's ok. I ate well and feel good.

The birthday party was great fun, as I said we rented out the whole (its small) local bowling alley from 10 am to noon. They don't open until noon so we got a bargain. Then at noon we had pizza and cake. We had at least 40 kids and 10 adults, it was kind of chaotic but fun. Probably more exercise than a bike ride. Then the grandkids, along with some cousins and friends came back here, we have 13 kids for the night ages 6 to 18, good thing we have a big house. Still chaotic but fun.

No Petal, I don't think the angels communicate with us via the internet.

Joanne's Sacred Scribes say:

Angel Number 1025 brings a message to stay optimistic and positive about the life changes you are currently considering and/or experiencing. These changes are necessary and will prove to be most beneficial as they will usher in positive energies and new inspiration that will see you taking on new and/or different projects and ventures. Your faith, trust, positive attitude and expectations will help the transitions to be harmonious and hassle-free.


Angel Number 1025 is a message that the changes you are going through right now are happening for good reasons, so have faith and trust that all will turn out for your highest good. You may be prompted to begin a new venture that will prove to be fruitful for you in many and varied ways. Follow your intuition and angelic guidance and take the necessary steps. Adapt to changes gracefully and gratefully and allow yourself to be open to new ways of being and doing.


Observe the small wonders that take place in your life each and every moment, as symbolic signs are unique and personal to everyone. Signs and messages appear in ways that resonate with you and that compliment your lifestyle. Be grateful for all the signs, messages and wonderful gifts from the Universe.


Petal, I don't think these signs are likely to show up on your computer.
 
we have 13 kids for the night ages 6 to 18, good thing we have a big house.
Oh, that sounds brilliant! As does the bowling party, chaotic or not! Yes, I would think being a very involved, very much in-demand paterfamilias at such an event would be a good deal more exercise than a bike ride! :D (You said "mostly paying for things" and "mostly watch", but I expect there was a good deal of "Grandpa, come and look at me!" and "Grandpa, I can't find my shoes!" and "Go on, Grandpa, have a go!". Wonderful! :) )
 
Did my 40 laps and 1 lagniappe. I got busy and had convinced myself to take another day off, but then I finished a chore and was standing by the bike, so I got on and did it. I tried pushing it up another gear, that made it harder but probably faster. Not a whole lot harder anyway.

Yes Amy, being bowling and with 40+ kids I spent a lot of time finding and fitting shoes. My other duty was getting people to sign the grandson's first teenage birthday book, that was kind of fun I got to talk to everyone. The bowling alley is small, old, and not in the greatest shape, the game computers seemed to keep crashing, and the scores didn't track very well. And a few of the pin things would occasionally drop pins or set up less than 10. But that didn't seem to keep the kids from having fun. They had black light and a kind of 70s disco music/light show thing that also didn't work perfectly, but it seemed to set the mood just fine.

The other important thing in my life yesterday was LSU's football win against Ole Miss (University of Mississippi), LSU's tenth straight win this season, still undefeated. We are ranked #1 in all the polls, and stand a good shot of winning the national championship. However it ain't over till its over, and I've seen LSU blow too many great leads to be overconfident on this one. A great season, best in a long time.

Sounds like a wonderful time. I find it amazing how kids can take you to another world.
