Any car I've ever owned since 1985 has been called "The Beast". :P-->

For what it's worth, Oen, we don't have very many people come to our house. Since we did in your case, we consider you to be a friend, worthy of our time.

I'm sure you are in Abi's prayers, and if I did that sort of thing, you would be in mine also. I hope you find the right counselor and do the necessary work. Anytime you want, you can email or PT me.

I seem to recall that Ghandi said something similar but cannot remember the exact quote.

Don't know if this is the one you're referring to, but I like it anyway. :D-->

"Christianity is the greatest religion ever invented, too bad no one's ever practiced it."

Cathy,

Abi and I extend our deepest condolences to you and yours. Bob said it better than I could have, so please, take his words to heart.

Darn, he's been posting again - this is from Abigail!

((((((RON!!!!!!!!!))))))))))))

though I'm sure if 1000Names were here at the moment he would send a heart felt greeting as well. :)-->

I've been forced to work unpaid (if I wanted to keep my job),

Yeah, no excrement, Mister P, I get to do this at my job too. The sad thing about it is, I belong to a UNION (I have yet to come across a union that was worth a damn).

I work for a trucking co. which delivers parts for one of the world's largest car manufacturers. If every single driver would walk out just for one day, I'm sure the mfr. would have someone at my co. telling them to get us back to work. Unfortunately, there are some people who are so afraid of losing their jobs, they would probably cross the picket line, and the rest of us would be out in the cold.

The other side of it is, a union is only as strong as the people involved (at least to a certain extent). In the past, I will admit to not having been an active member. From what I heard, the union meetings were not so much about improving OUR lot as the people in charge. The meetings have also involved the throwing of physical punches.

However, you can bet the house I will be at the next meeting. It may not do any good, but at least my lower sphincter will get some relief by bitching about it.

Yeah, this is like getting your friends to bet on a videotaped football game, only not quite as funny.

Hey Krys,

If you have the windows I think you have, you could probably just open them from the top, to prevent the kitties from doing their Evel 'Kit'evel impressions. :D-->

I no longer believe it is my responsibility to judge other people by their beliefs. I am firmly of the belief that whatever gets you through the long, dark, night, is fine with me.

However, when their actions hurt someone else, there is a problem.

Yeah, since now when you die you just stay in that grave forever, a bunch of us are getting us up a drinking and smoking dope club. You interested in joining per chance?? I understand there's going to be some wild and crazy guys and dolls there!

Yup. Eat, drink and feel up Mary. :D-->

You'll have to listen to this today, since they're probably going to change it tomorrow.........:D-->(Thanks to The Bob and Tom Show)

There are few things that beat bitching about the world, Def. :D-->

It is with deep regret I must inform the coordinators, Abi and I (and kids) will not be able to attend this year Unless, of course, we hit the lottery. But if we do, the roast will be on us :D-->).

Ya know, that leaves out approximately 10% of the world's population. I am not gay, nor do I play one on TV, but I would feel VERY put out if I didn't have my chance. :D--> :P-->

I see only a handful of non Christian posters on this whole site. Oakspear, Abigail, George Aar, Lindyhopper, myself. . .

Don't forget me, Bramble. (Of course, once you've had the honor of meeting me, you wouldn't) :D-->

***Abigail again - I keep forgetting to log 1000Names out, he posts so rarely - but his tag line sure fits this thread well*************

Hmmm Cynic, not a fan but can't resist reading, eh?

" for we have chosen whom to love and whom not to love - in action and intent and heart, if nothing else. "

And as we judge, so shall we be judged.

"If we are afraid of pain, we cannot know where to heal and restore.

It takes courage. "

Perhaps it is the courage which makes some, in the eyes of others, seem to be "loonier than jay-bird"

"When and where you flinch is where your future wisdom waits, always.

When and where you will not look is where your ignorance is, always.

The questions we cannot bring ourselves to ask are what reveals what we will never know."

I think, when and where you flinch, you will overcome. When and where you will not look are the lessons which will be the most painful to learn. Just some thoughts. :)-->

This really is me :D-->

Well, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition........

****POSTED BY ABIGAIL************

Hehe, too noisy here to try to quiet the mind - dogs barking, kids playing. :)--> Will try that part later.

But one thing I have read, which I thought was interesting, and sort of fits with this topic, was our bodies were specifically designed and chosen for us and we are to learn from them and learn to become comfortable in them. Hmmmm, trying to find a way to explain this - ok a somewhat simplistic view

The woman who is beautiful may feel uncomfortable with her body because she feels people aren't interested in the inner her - i.e. men want her because of her beauty not because of who she is and women envy her because of her beauty and never take the time to know her.

An unattractive woman in uncomfortable in her body because she feels her appears turns men off so they never take the time to know the inner her, etc.

So, one of the lessons we are to learn in this life is how to love ourselves, which includes our bodies, just as they are.

Just as an aside, Hope, your very own Manofathousandscreennames got to sing with Christine ON STAGE, the last time she was in MI.

It was for the "Sensitive New Age Guys" song.:D-->

Would that be 3 POINT 2? :D-->

I'd have to agree with George on this one. Murder in the First was a much better movie.

I saw Jackson Browne last year in Detroit. Great show.

There are only a couple of more concerts I would like to see. I want to see Tom Waits (in a small venue) and Jackson Browne on his solo acoustic tour.

I would be willing to go about 150 for Jackson Browne and about a hundred for Tom Waits.

Well, Oak, maybe it's not unlike Schroedinger's cat. Until you open the box, (i.e., die) you won't know if you were right or not. And, until you open the box, your beliefs are right and wrong at the same time :D-->
