'Pastor Marc Grizzard told a local news station of his 14-member parish.' I think that says it all. I mean the fact that there are only 14 members of his parish. Sensationalism in it's worst form. I have long since given up trying to work out why people do what they do, especially Christians, at least Christians like these. There is a scriptual base for almost anything... including genocide, infanticide, murder, rape, stoning adulterers, beating epileptics to drive out demons... and that's just off the top of my head. I also think that you showed admirable restraint in your response... more than I would have.

Glad to meet you JT. Looking forward to reading some of your stuff... no one tears anything and anyone to pieces here... we look out for each other and now you are part of the family we will look out for you too

What about people who dye they hair green

Thank you sooo much... last weekend we were watching Dirty Dancing and we wracked our brains for the film that Patrick played a Queen... To Wong Fu... just text my friend to tell her. That was an awesome film and Patrick certainly did look good dressed as a woman, although in my book he looks best when he is not dressed at all

I hate you. You look sooo much better than me in a dress :)

Hey Dude. Missing you a lot. Come back and play with us again HAPPY BIRTHDAY

What an interesting question. Well... if you discount Welsh and Gaelic (Scottish and Irish) and all dialects... then I suppose we have two. Queen's English... which is 'proper English' where where everything is strictly gramattical and expanded (it is and not it's) and 'posh' and spoken English, which is wha 90% of the population speak, although that might be considered to be dialect too so maybe there is only one. If we look back though there are historical language issues... for example Chaucer's English is different to Shakespeare's English which is different to modern English but again this is a historical and not a current matter and I suppose would go for other languages too. After all that my guess at the difinitive answer would be... one. Anyone else have any ideas ?

Hey there. Don't know you but it's your 21st so what the hey. Have a great one and come by and tell us how it went HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Well.... I have never had an editor or a beta reader before until Rush got her hands on my stuff.... and oh didn't I enjoy THAT We have had one or two discussions about the meaning of words or phrases but we've always worked it out. To be honest I trust her so much now I don't even re check what she's done to my stuff and just post it. (she could have a lot of fun with that if she were a nasty devious queen of evil.... oh bugger )

Yeah well that's the thing about lawyers... our definition of everything is quite odd

How cute is that ?? !!! Ahhh I love Halloween the one time of year when everyone dresses like me... well apart from the no shirt of course. I love peacock feathers and have loads of them

I've said it once and I will say it again... Pasta and Cheese????? Anyway... I regularly cut my son's and my ex's hair with an electric clippers and that's fine if all you want it allover fuzz but the last time I cut my own hair I was 8 my mother had left a scissors lying around and the result was .... interesting... moral of the tale... if you're going to let me anywhere near your hair make sure I have a clippers in my hand and not a scissors... if I have scissors... run away.

I am intrigued about how the program gets from wiccans to Mexicans I totally get what you're saying and I agree totally... except that I never believe anything anyone says and always believe everything everyone says so it tends to balance out in the end

OFF TOPIC AND I DON'T CARE.... Ugly is as ugly does honey... and you does beautiful just fine

It's quite scary... in the middle one you look just like my cousin's little boy who is 11. You do realise that now you've shown us those photos Rush and I are going to be more mumsy than ever

No need to remind me of that hun Honey you are still being defensive and there really is no need to be. No one thinks you are a fraud... no one who was trying to be someone they're not would choose to be as bizarre are you... that's why we love you so much Pasta and Cheese ????? I absolutly agree. I am what I am... a mystery wrapped in an enigma tied in a whole bundle of contradictions... nice neat bow though I apprecaiate that I am not your average woman in the street and I love the way that I have been accepted as the freak I am. One of the great things about this place is that you are all so accepting but of course that brings the down side that has been mentioned about. When somewhere is so relaxed, giving and accepting then it is open to abuse. I admin on a site for otherkin... vampires, were, etc and the subject of roleplayers came up there. Many of the people on the boards are very anti role players because they have so often been accused of being that very thing when they are just being themselves. My response there is the same as my response here. Life is hard... sometime it sucks. If we can escape from that suckiness for a while and have fun, relax, relate etc then who cares how as long as it isn't hurting anyone? There is nothing wrong with playing a role as long as you are not harming anyone. Sure it can be annoying when you see through the role and known damned well that the person is not who they say they are in some respects. However, whoever you are pretending to be you can't, at heart be anything other than yourself. If you are making wild claims to be this that and the other then you are covering a deep seated insecutiry and in so man ways are reaching out for something... just like the rest of us. React with anger and you are just driving away another soul that needs saving, just like your own. There are many people on the vamps site who came making overblown claims and some people there would have shot them down in flames. Personally I was one for the gentle approach... let them hang themselves rather than shooting them down in flames and then instead of laughing and saying 'See I told you' be there to pick up the pieces and help them carry on. There are some very valuable members who started that way. We all know when somoene is talking bullshit... and there is a difference between speaking your own truth and bullshitting. There must be many of you who roll their eyes when I talk about being a vampire or the reincarnation of someone who loved an angel... maybe even when I say I am a 45 year old goth lawyer with green hair... I don't care... that's me. I am not going to spend a lot of time and energy justifying or validifying myself. You accept it or you don't If someone is bullshitting then pretty soon you stop trusting them stop believing them stop taking them seriously stop responding to them.. and it's that lack of response in the end that breaks them down. I think I've kind of lost the plot in what I was trying to say... I think it was that people who hide do so for a reason, and I think I am the last person to point the finger and say... you're a fraud. Then What? Of course sometimes there is a danger element. Someone of 50 trying to strike up a friendship with an 18 year old by pretending to be the same age just isn't on... but that's where we have to look to keeping ourselves safe. I am the world's worst. i would be giving you all my telephone number and asking you round to tea if I could... OOps... major rant:) I'll stop now.

O WOW thanks everyone for your birthday wishes... and stop being jealous coz Myr loves me best... how can he help it I'm awesome

O WOW.... How awesome is this ?? Thanks for all the happy birthday wishes... they came true How did you know I was 29 kj? And Cammy.... it's none of your business where my hands are going to be.... but the only time I am going to have my hands behind my back is when I am facing away from him/her/them

Me too

Death is the great leveller... it has no prejudices at all... age, sex, colour, orientation, wealth. You are lucky to have found that kind of love even if it was brief... if 15 years can be described as brief.

you're right... love provides the exception to the rule every time... very much a 'suck it and see' situation

Yes, I agree. I think the story is the thing. I am all about the story... I live eat sleep and breathe the story... after all life is a story and part of that story is sex... for some a big part and for others not so big. When I am telling my story I just tell it. Sometimes the characters end up in bed, sometimes they don't. As you say... if you don't like it don't read it. I do think there is a line though... which is why I was concerned about my latest story and I am still not entirely convinced that it is not going a bit too far but hey... life's all about taking risks.

yes, MJF was adorable... a bit short for me though.. I like the enigmatic dark types... bad boys if you will.. Cute doesn't really do it for me as you just know they are not going to like it when you chain them up and drip wax on them and I don't want to be afraid of breaking my man... or woman.

You're right. They're hideous. Try some of these men's summer shoes

Totally Good Luck
