  1. nor does it restore the dignity and hope which those desparate souls lost
  2. Doojy- I was an Oil Painting Major at Ohio U. before going into the WC. But since then I have not had time....sold a few things back then, but if I had time, besides needing to do stuff like situps (lol) I would write.
  3. exactly...we do not subscribe to it and do not pay the extra 5, 8, or 15 dollars per bundle. It happened after my son just bought a ring tone....fine print said something about these vendors being allowed to text meassage. I was getting messages about horoscopes and all kinds of crap...and so far it is not illegal and text does not fall under the "do not call" laws. and...my son had to pay for everyone given he did not read the fine print. hard lesson. from here on out he will not have to unless he initiates another deluge. Sprint cannot stop these , neither can verizon etc....its the new junk mail...new spam... technology the doubled edged sword
  4. Recently --in October, my son ordered a ringtone...the annoying thing...(little frog dude) well, anyhow he started getting text message ads like crazy after that. he typed in STOP or NO or whatever you are supposed to do...bill came---945 text messages at 10 cents a message. we thought he wasn't telling us the truth, then they started to spill over to my phone, called sprint they said ..go online - block the number---well there are hundreds of these things. To make a long story short, it happened a second time in the December bill, and I called and they cannot block solicitors...just ask you to pay for blocks of Text message. No thanks--dont want to pay to keep it away...when I never asked for it in the first place. SOOOO we had to change 2 of our 3 numbers! within 3 days, one of the numbers got 2 text messages. I called back-changed the number again...they credited it this time becasue (well its only .20 not 94.00) but currently this remains the only way to keep these things away. IN our case - 2 situations, 1. son bought tone...did not read fine print....consequence.....lots of text message ads...pnone spam if you will 2. new number....spammer already had number...we cut it short by changing number a second time cost: 94.00 & 76.00 170.00 total for spam text message all started by an innocent purchase. major BUYER BEWARE issues here
  5. I especially like the line..."teach the boy construction and he will not be guilty of destruction. Very well put.
  6. snow and lights ...so pretty... we got the lights, but its 60 here today and sunny last year the kids were snowboarding today
  7. johniam, at this point, some of those I know that did have this same mental posture have since died, changed and/or no longer proclaim to be a leader....so what's the point of dividing between mistress and wife. I could list names, but why, so they can be judged -- I think I will let God handle that. Have you got a difference in your heart towards women that were decieved over a woman that was married and deceived in a different way. Bottom line is that it was not right...
  8. paging HCW!!! I did it under Beth Lauder at Emporia, had a copy of the "7 color keys"
  9. dont fight fire unless you bring enough water
  10. Belle, I can't have a real tree in the house---or anything pine for that matter---as I am too allergic....after years and years of sinus problems, my mom gave us a fake tree the year my daughter was born...being broke with two kids, we used all our money for their presents....well, it was the first year I did not get deathly sick with sinus problems... This year my daughter and her friend actually decorated while I watched, and son hung up 8 stockings...not sure why 8, but he said it looks better that way...:) One of my close post-way friends owns a gift shop, needless to say, she has a showcase house, but its fun, she has a tree in every rom with a theme, and by her front door(in a rather large foyer) she has a tree she decorates 4x a year. At xmas--its xmas stuff, then starting in January she puts eggs and stuff for Easter on it, then it becomes a serious 4th og July Patriotic tree, and just before xams again, she does Halloween stuff on that same tree...EVERY YEAR she does this, but she is also on the tour for one of the nuns fundraiser's here (xmas house tours. Last year voth my kids were tour guides for her. It helped raise money for something called Casa Angelica...soething the nuns around here are real involved in.
  11. lifted, I'm not grouchy, but i am not in focus either
  12. Dealing with manipulation leads to several things...none of which would qualify as charadter to my way of thinking. 1. mental illness 2. victim menatality (close to #1) and difficult to recover from 3. it teaches you how to out manipulate someone who is trying to manipulate you I certainly don't see any character in any of those scenarios.
  13. Yepper HCW, I remember all o' that..and the singing....those girls have beautiful voices. And yepper...remember Pat Yaconis...he and I were Hich School Minutemen..went to Delaware OH---(Watered Garden's turf) to be with Yaconos's older brother and wife becasue Fellow Laborers were hosting the HS minuteman training...where I fist met the Jesse kids. Lordy those were some innocent naive days.
  14. Thanks guys You all help give meaning to my life and define it by how you reflect your own stands of freedom. ;)
  15. I do remember in 75 all the hoopla about Word over America and Joyful Noise was gonna save us from the devil and communism...and Toady---I still have that book...I find it amusing every so often...but then I have my first Winnie the Pooh book to. speaking of that...I saw Cliff Eidelmann as acredit composer credit for the music on a Lizzie Maguire movie tonight...my daughter was watching. I remember prayers a year long all about removing impurities and all this other stuff...Jorge Dieppa...do you remember doing that to a pinapple -- I do~!
  16. I heard it for years!!! Furthermore if you so much as thought about the trinity, you couldn't have been saved either..at least not unitl you renounced the trinity. I don't think it matters to Oldies -- as someone said If he did not experience it ..it could not be in the realm of existence
  17. don't even get me started .... Can you say "Double Standard" Johnny Jump UP?
  18. OooooooOOOOOOoooooohhh kay, saw it....what a whacko

  20. jkb...it was a Sunday Night Teaching Service tape ....numbered around 900+ I threw it away a couple years ago...sorry. But it was the SNS teaching that all that spew was made known to the "common" beleiver/follower.
