Another Day at the Shiloh Baptist Church

Nope. been there, done that. been accused of being with the devil. Rather date crazy people. They can take medications and get better.

This is why you immediately execute pirates once they are caught. It was the policy of every navy up until the thirties. Make the risk not worth the reward. BTW- a federal judge released some pirates last year because the navy didn't read them their rights.

You don't really have to go this far to find them. The Internets are full of trolls. Even the nice kids are getting pissed. This jackwagon gets around.

Hollywood is always patting itself on the back for creating mediocre products. What they consider "good", I wouldn't piss on if it was on fire. I don't doubt that the movie in question is bad. I just think that they should add a ton of movies to it like their un-funny comedies, porno romances, not so mysterious mysteries and action movies that I could sleep through.

it depends... -on whether it is well done -does it make sense or is the story a spank-fest? -is this story about sex with an incidental plot? -are the characters interesting and hot

Check it: I Corinthians 13: 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. _____________________________________________ Does that sound anything like the gospel according to Westburo? No. Those or the passages that they routinely ignore. This is why they fail. It's why so many big suburban mega-churches fail. When they gleefully pronounce eternal damnation on people, they forget the very spirit of the religion that they supposedly embrace. For them it becomes about money, power and prestige when it is really about the humility of a carpenter that never wrote a book, owned a horse, contributed money to a politician and certainly never went to speaking engagements on a leer jet. Forgive them father for they know not what they do. Now they have more in common with the Roman soldiers that actually crucified him than the followers of Christ.

I collect minerals. Today I got new specimens: Wulfenite The crystals are PbMoO4 which makes them a key source of molybdenum. Amazing that lead would make beautiful red-orange crystals. The sample came from Mexico. Vanadinite The crystals in Vanadinite are Pb5(VO4)3Cl. It is a major source of the industrial metal Vandium. What other hobbies do GA members have?

I'm sad to hear that. There are many Brits that I think well of.

John- This is perfectly plausible. Many people suffer memory loss while they are drunk. They may remember bits and pieces but they'll never put the puzzle back together again. Alcohol interferes with the way the brain stores memories. "Blackouts" are common among drinkers. A person will act normally but won't remember a thing. This tends to happen to young people who drink to much too fast for their body weight or older heavy drinkers. eg. They will often go out drinking and not remember how they got home or any details about the night. Blackout drinking is one of a cluster of symptoms that indicate alcoholism.

Labels are useful. Labels tell the stock boys where to stack the mayonnaise on the store racks. Where labels are not useful is in making judgments about people because that sort of label doesn't list the ingredients. You can't look at a persons label and tell whether they are full of loyalty and truthfulness or if they are just full of crap. By the time you have made that determination, the damage is already done.

A place between tedium and suburbia

In every city of any size, there is a place where like-minded people meet to get their freak on. You can look directly at it and not see it unless you know what’s going on. You can get anything you want there, but it will cost you. That’s the nature of things. It is never a destination. It’s a place in between tedium and suburbia. It’s an impulse turn from the daily routine; a guilty pleasure that you can feel guilty about after you feel the rush of the forbidden. It’s a strange kind of fer

I finished my first week of work in a permanent job this afternoon. It's been a long time since I knew where my next check was coming from. Don't get me wrong. Contracts can be fun- if you can get enough work to survive. It's feast or famine and way too much famine. I don't make the same hourly rate but I'll make much more over the long haul because of consistency. No weeks (or months *shudders*) in between. It's so good to go home for the weekend and know the job will be there on Monday. Maybe I'll even mellow out because the stress of uncertainty is no longer there. I wouldn't count on it.

Nachos for everybody!

He seems like a nice kid. I wish some REAL people would kid nap him, take him fishing and camping, on a long road trip to see the states. Anywhere- just away from the Hollywood vampires that will suck his soul out and leave him full of nothing.

Noise by Darin Bradley This is one of the most timely and brilliantly conceived novels that I've read in a long time. Timely because it doesn't take a great deal of imagination to know that there are big changes coming. Whether our society is elastic enough or will break under the pressure is an open question. Brilliant from a writers perspective because the author uses his words like an artist uses a dry brush to get just the right color. Given the shape of the world today, when I close my eyes, Noise is like the nightmares that I see. Everyone wants more. Civility is a quaint, old fashioned idea. People have a dangerous, feral quality about them. Yes- I can see this happening. I can see the thrill killers and the cowardly sadist; liberated as society collapses. Maybe it is time. Maybe it is their time. Maybe it has already started. Some people like their fiction smooth and polished. Slick and stylish. That's not Noise. Noise flows like the crunch of broken glass under your boots or the sting of smoke in your eyes. It takes you into a violent a dark landscape that is all the more terrifying because it evolves from home to hell so quickly. I like fiction that has the ring of truth about it. Noise has that. It makes the hairs on your arms stand up because deep down inside: today, tomorrow, next year or next week- you know that it could happen. We will laugh nervously, shake our heads and carry on but in our nightmares we will still hear the Noise.

It's over-rated and it will happen anyway in due course. In the mean time, enjoy being youthfully indiscreet.

The whole point of the exercise is that there are SO MANY to chose from.

You might want to hold off on showing your competitive side to a romantic interest for say... a few months. If you find out that he can't beat you at anything, that might be a deal breaker.

Do you means songs from a musical... like say a song from a well known musical like Annie or the Sound of Music? Jeez I dunno. I was all set to suggest AC/DC or early Metallica. Now THERE is a beat you can blow the doors down with.
