  1. I don't think Sneakers has the necessary equipment any longer.
  2. You can remember that long ago?
  3. Young people don't seem to have the respect for their elders we did at their age.

    Chapter 1

    Oh, I suspect he read it correctly thus the reason for his leaving home. I've checked the "follow" box and await the notification for next chapter. I'm expecting a good read.

    Chapter 1

    Must be a real shock to discover you failed misearbly at failing ... now whatever shall he do?
  6. Hmmm, you've got a very good point. Must be something Val taught her.
  7. Thought you might. Don't they train at the same college as the Imperial Texas Astrologers and the Imperial Texas Wizards?
  8. She's been taking notes from her brother the little emperor.
  9. We all know you're not really the one solving all those equations. You have the Imperial Texas Mathematicians doing them while you're busy launching nukes.

    Of God and Angels

    Hmmmm, interesting premise. I was taught that angels in their many forms are like humans, created beings. However, unlike humans they were not given the gift of free-will. That it is our free-will that makes us in God's image. I could go on and on with my thoughts about that but ... I know little brother that because of the things done to you as a child that you say you do not believe. I ask this of you out of love ... is it possible that your questioning suggests a small part of you does still hope? Recall that often I say Namasté when I "speak" to you. To me Namasté is recognizing that small spark of the divine, the breath of the Creator within each part of his/her creation. For me God exists in the totality of creation ... being the force and energies upon which the universe exists. Within the very air we breathe so that with each breath we become suffused with the divine ... does that make us less fallible? Definitely, not. We critique the "Word of God" as being written by humans. That it is often incorrect if not down-right wrong due to that dubious foundation. However, keep in mind that when we make these judgements we do so based on our own fallible human intelligence. Too, keep in mind that society has evolved in 2,000+ years. What was may no longer be how we view things. I'm not saying anything anyone said here is wrong just to keep in mind that as Alexander Pope once stated "to err is human ...". It seems to be what we do best. Last thought, if what I was taught is true. Is God's gift to us ... freewill, truly a gift since it makes us question everything and allows us to behave so horribly towards one another? Namasté y'all.
  11. G'day y'all. Very warm and muggy, currently overcast.
  12. Why does that make you innocent?
  13. You're so funny sometimes. I've aged out of that requirement. One of the advantages of growing older is having youngsters to handle the boring stuff.
  14. I'd like you to show your work because that just doesn't add up ...
  15. Where's my bow and quiver? I sense a rebellion coming.
  16. Randy, I am so sorry. I will keep you all in my prayers.
  17. G'day y'all. Another unseasonably warm muggy day. Summer has come early to SC. My head aches. My aunt, uncle and cousin arrived late yesterday afternoon. While not quite her oldself I think she's doing well.
  18. But she was referring to Drew and we have been reminded many times that he is a man.
  19. And if Drew knows anything it's bull 🤔
  20. Thanks. Reportedly she is. We'll see for ourselves when they arrive.
  21. Eeeeewwwwwwwww ... Aren't you supposed to heat up the barbie before you throw on the shrimp?
  22. G'day y'all. Another warm sunny day here. It's dry, there is talk of drought. We're expecting company later. Mum's youngest sister and her husband are stopping overnight on their way to their home in NH. We're anxious to see her as she has been seriously ill since January. First pneumonia then a fall ending in a skull fracture with an internal bleed. Time to walk the pup.
  23. Oh, I hadn't anything particular in mind but a friendly shunk was way off the radar.
  24. What's logic have to do with sex?
