please advise this old woman ... which should i get for a christmas gift play station or x-box?
on one games sight (starwars) they say x-box but i've never heard anything about that??
help
We are an X-Box family here. The games are great. I know you can get link cables and connect two xboxes and play 8 player. My son wants 4 tvs so we can have 16 player Halo tornaments.
He plays Halo on it and is hooked
Wait until Halo II comes out. Think it is in April now. I am the only mom around here who plays it. All the kids just call me Halo Mom. Kinda funny.
i just got finished watching yet another version of a christmas carol (this time, the one starring patrick stewart -- one of the better remakes).. those who are familiar with the story will recall when the mysterious ghost of christmas yet to come escorts scrooge into the cemetery and shows him his own grave, scrooge replies with the question: "why show me these things if i am beyond all hope?".
perhaps it's just my usual holiday season depression, but i am in a particularly dark mood tonight.. no spirits have ever visited me.
even god has not made his presence known to me in any manner that i would consider what the bible refers to as "evident demonstration".. i therefore have to draw the conclusion that either my time has not come yet (which i hope), or that i am indeed beyond all hope.

I had to tell you, maybe it is better to get no sign what-so-ever. I gotta tell a story. We have had a lot of deaths in the family. The last one was my grandfather in October. Well I needed to pray. I needed a church I could go into and throw myself down and pray. I found one open and went inside to pray. Shortly after that, the church has some wiring malfunction, and burned down. The church was what my town was founded around. We were on all channels for news. I family member told me,"See what happens when you try to get close to God? See, he just don't want you."
Yes, a bit mean, but I would rather not have a spirit, or presence, or any sign at all at this point.
so glad this convention will "dispel myths" regarding the j-dubs, and that they won't baptize anyone too young, only 11-year-olds and up!!
isn't it great?

To the criminal being crucified alongside Jesus, Jesus promised him that he would be with him in paradise..................yet he was never baptised.
Ozziepost,
Thank you for your post. You have no idea how much that one point really means to me. Thanks again.

I have a question here. Jesus, who was perfect, did not get baptized until he was in his 30's. Now if Bible principle was applied, can they really baptize an 11 yo boy? And really make him live up to it? I mean, I know that they do, but is that really right? I guess I am thinking out loud here. It just seems wrong.
i've mentioned this before here, but i still find it almost unbelievable that i find a penny every day.
today i was taking a walk on the streets around where i live and i just remembered i hadn't found a penny today, and about 30 seconds later, there it was, laying on the street in front of me.
it has taken a strange turn lately, for the last three months i have found a dime once each month instead of a penny.
I wish I found coins everyday. Send some of those pennies here. I have seen people come out of a convience store, and chuck all their change. I have no shame, I pick it up. I use that change with all my other change, and that's how I pay for my family vacation. All coins go into a jar, once a month we roll it and put it in the bank. Once a year we go away. Hey, if people want to contribute to my vacation fund, let them do it.
remember those things, they'd hand out a board, a pencil, and this test booklet.
i mean, i loved those nights!
it actually gave me something to do.
I used to cheat of my Mom's paper. Then give my brother the answers. My Mom used to talk about how well he did on the written reveiw, that he knew so much. Not that we wanted to trick mom, we just didn't want to get any answers wrong.

i heard about it on the radio yesterday, but didn't believe it to be true.
i'm all for treating animals humanely but if this is what happens to your judgement when you cut all meat out of your diet, then i'mgoing out for a burger.

Sorry, but I had to go there.
send your resumes...i am a recruiter!
on the serious side....joker is probably stirring up a hornest for fun...hey dont we all once in a while (i am still waiting for my thread hijacker tshirt) but i cannot tell you how many people every day i talk to that were making good money not too long ago that are on the skids looking for a decent job.
you dont have to be a slacker to be unemployed joker...yes, maybe some of us have too much time on our hands...but i have a feeling the majority of people that post a lot on this board are just really good multi-taskers.
Oh, I forgot one more tip. If you buy on ebay, get a different usere name for selling. This way if you buy something on there, and resell it, they will see what you paid for it. So two accounts. One for selling, one for buying.
.....7 days at walt disney world!
the weather was perfect until our last day-when it was a damp 55 degrees-the nuts got on kali river rapids 5 times and were shivering and drenched-but they were happy!
(i was happy to be nice and warm and enjoyed watching the monkeys play!).
Thanks for the info!! I will stuff them at breakfast. I did not even think of that. The way they eat, that was the best info I could have ever gotten.
Hi momofmany (how many is many?)
I have six surviving children. Five boys and one girl. Ages range from 3-14. Makes for a crazy house sometimes. But would not trade it for the world.

To be honest, it depends. It all started when my Grandpop came to live with us. I had to clean out the house he lived in since 1947. They saved everything. No one in the family wanted anything, so I got custody of it all. Well there is only so much room in my home, so I kept what was family stuff, and tried to see what would sell. So I would take an item, say a snoopy doll I found. Went and saw if it was on ebay. It was, so I posted mine. It sold, and I was happy. Also those Aunt Jemima dolls, those plastic salt and pepper or syrup containers, they sell well too.
Sometimes it is a gut feeling. I found an old plate at goodwill for $1.50, and it sold on ebay for $20. Sometimes I win, sometimes I loose.
I wish I had a fool proof plan to give you. Poke around there. See if there is something in your home you don't want, and see if it is selling on ebay. If it is, see how much. See if it is worth listing.
Hope I was some help.
