  Hi Clint

  When you're at the youtube page you want to embed, copy the browser address from the browser address bar, and paste that into your post. If it doesn't post as an active link, try posting the address to a new line and hit enter with the cursor just after the pasted address link and the link will usually become active. There is also a link button (looks like a chain) in the top line of this sites editing tools (just above where you type-in your post)

  Here is your link pasted to a new line.

  Cute kitty!

  Dogs are pack animals and so the dog has to re-assess his position within the pack as I'm sure the cat is occupying a great deal of your time, time that would usually be spent on him.

  troubled mind said:

  I wasn't going to get another cat because of my husbands allergies ......but this kittens fur is so short and dense I think it maybe different

  Most people think that allergies are caused by the fur itself. Although some people can react to fur, many are allergic to proteins in the animal's saliva.

  Cats and dogs clean themselves by licking. This saliva dries on the fur whereby the protein particles can become airborne and inhaled by people when the animal moves or is petted.

  See if your husband reacts when the cat licks him. Some people get a rash or hives within a few minutes.

  kes152,

  You've been coming here since at least March 2001 and you have 458 posts to your credit. You obviously have been doing more than just reading.

  Since you've been coming here so long, I think it's a fair question to ask: Why do you continue to come here and what benefits do you gain by being here?

  Another Meg Ryan movie, this time paired with Kevin Kline. 'French Kiss'. As much as 'Mail' is good, I prefer 'Kiss'.

  On the same level as 'Mail' is 'Sleepless in Seattle'

  Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer"

  Hugh Grant in 'Love Actually' and 'Two Weeks Notice'

  Dedication of JW Buildings

  by Incognito in

  i have seen witnesses make a big deal over attending a dedication ceremony at a new kingdom hall, assembly hall or bethel branch.

  i have attended a few myself.

  as a witness, i had always understood that this ceremony is to dedicate the building's use to the worship of jehovah by 'true christians'.

  Ooops! Sorry, my post was accidentally posted before it was ready!

  OTWO said: ...a dedication could be well-intentioned at the time it was made, but further developments and circumstances change things.

  My point exactly! The WT make and enforce all these rules for their followers, but they also make escape clauses for circumstances where it suits them.

  Their meaning of 'Dedication' is applied one way towards their followers, but may be applied differentently when used elsewhere and they want it to have a different importance.

  shopaholic said: In their eyses it went from a place of "life" to a place of "death".

  In our area, we've heard some JWs call such places 'a goat's pen', ie: where the Goats are kept. So much for 'Love your Enemies'.

  Thanks for your reply.

  I realize they are only buildings but I was lead to believe that Dedication was a forever promise. That's what were are told, even if we find factual evidence that proves the WT/JWs are not the 'Truth'.

  If such building dedications are conditional on who owns the building, what really is the point of the Dedication Ceremony? Isn't it a given that any Kingdom Hall, Assembly Hall, or Bethel building is to be used for God's service, as long as the WT/JWs own it?

  We were told that a rented stadium or school was to be viewed equivalent to a KH for the time that the assembly or convention was being held. No Dedication service was necessary at the start of any assembly.

  As a long term 'Fader', I'm not attempting to argue the matter but only wish to raise a point of discussion.

  Lifted trucks

  by free2beme in

  never fails, if i see a lifted truck ... it will 100% of the time be driven by a short man.

  seems like the shorter the man, the higher the lift on the truck.

  even saw a truck today, that was lifted, the 5'2" man had a eletric step that came down for him to get in.

  free2beme asked: I just wonder, is this truly an example of making up for short comings?

  Not necessarily making-up for height though.

  I've heard it often asked: 'I wonder if guy's who drive big vehicles are really just compensating for something else?'
