"Peckerhead"... is NOT a suitable name for a lady... no matter WHAT her species. Take suggestions from your customers, have a 'name the birdy' contest... whatever. But change it. Tell the 'fellas I said so. And don't MAKE me hafta come all the way over there and, well, you know, 'handle' thangs myself. 'Cause I will... for the 'sisterhood'.

You misunderstand me, I think (and after review, I guess I kinda made that easy to do, didn't I?): I put some words in quotes beCAUSE of their double-meaning and I wanted folks to know I had no problem USING the word(s), but for the purpose originally intended by you. Sorry, I am a quotation mark 'hound'. Got it bad, too. Tried to stop... went to QMA meetings and everything. Even checked myself into QM-rehab. Nothing worked. I'm 'hooked'... possibly for life. I've just learned that it is one of my 'flaws', my 'style'... and so I just 'take it one day at a time.'
your last name stays put.. the garage is all yours.. wedding plans take care of themselves.. chocolate is just another snack.. you can be president.. you can wear a white t-shirt to a water park.. car mechanics tell you the truth.. you don't give a rat's ass if someone notices your new haircut.. the world is your urinal.. you never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just.
too "yucky".. same work... more pay.. wrinkles add character.. wedding dress $5000; tux rental $100.. people never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.. the occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.. new shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.. your pals can be trusted never to trap you with: "so, notice anything.
one mood, all the time.. phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.. you know stuff about tanks.. a five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.. you can open all your own jars.. dry cleaners and hair stylists don't rob you blind.. you can leave the motel bed unmade.. you can kill your own food.. you get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.. if someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be.
Jiminy, Philo... talk about 'domestic abuse'... THAT would be some TRULY 'cruel... and unusual punishment'. I'm leaving off my 'feminist ways', RIGHT NOW. No more 'lip' from me - LOL!
SJ (on my own and wondering just what Mr. Philo thought we did BEFORE there was toilet paper... and why we would even need a MAN to buy us some now...)
matthew 18: 6,7 "if anyone should cause one of these little ones to turn away from his faith in me, it would be better for that man to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea.. how terrible for the world that there are things that make people turn away!
such things will alway happen--but how terrible for the one who causes them.".
has the governing body really been responcible for causing real genuine belevers in jesus christ to stumble the way jesus says at mathew 18?.
Read the scriptures; perhaps they will shed a little better 'light' on the subject. I do not recall Mr. Franz, nor others you and your leaders consider 'apostates' even referring to themselves as 'shepherds'. But I most certainly know that your leaders refer to themselves as such.
The blind... leading... the blind... and the blind... following. And LOVING it. Still.

Perhaps it's because some of us... 'suck' fairly badly at quite a few things, being flesh and all. Letting go just may be one of them. It is for me, sometimes. But 'sucking' at something is not necessarily a 'bad' thing, is it? Or the end of the world? I mean, perhaps we absolutely SHINE at others things (okay, 'glimmer' a lil bit...), and 'sucking' at one or two... or many... things, just helps us to keep a balanced perspective of ourselves. So we don't go gettin' to think more of ourselves than is 'necessary'. Know what I mean?
Whatdya, think?
A slave of Christ,
SJ (who personally has no problem 'sucking' at all sorts of things in this life... since I wasn't promised that kind of 'perfection' now anyway...)
I 'hear' you, Logical (how you doin' today?)... but, dear one, it is not I who decides who is 'fed'... nor what it is about such one that is 'fed'. I am but a servant. Truthfully. I only offered what was 'given' me. What MDS... or anyone else... does with it... or what it does to him/them... is not for me to be concerned with. But thank you for the 'heads up'. Truly.
