  any thoughts on mr. taylor?s claims?.

  u.s. demands greater oil output, lower prices.

  "finance ministers from the united states and other major industrialized countries, hoping to affect the outcome of a battle within the organization for the petroleum exporting countries, formally demanded yesterday that oil-exporting nations raise production and lower prices to a level 'that is consistent with lasting economic prosperity,'" the new york times reports.

  Oh, wow ... many fond memories of the back seat of a Pinto. Cramped, yes ... but I was younger & more limber then.

  What puzzles me is that 20 years ago, many of the oil drilling jobs (and employment in related industries) in the continental U.S. dried up because the oil prices were so low that it was economically unfeasable to pump from those wells. Now that oil is in the $40 per barrel range, does it make sense to re-open those wells?

  As for our love of gas-guzzlers, Simon ... yeah, it was darn near painful to see my total at the gas pump last night ($46.25), but I'll keep my V-8 powered beastie in spite of the 16 MPG fuel consumption.

  i have just started observing them in my neck of the woods.

  i'm fascinated with them and love to hear them especailly the sound that i hear further away -like an eery, rolling, humming-type sound through the mountain valleys.

  anyone else observing them??

  I haven't seen or heard any yet, but they say we're due for an onslaught. It will make June fun ... along with the annual lightning bug round-up. It's always fun chasing them around the yard with the kids.

  Here's what I don't understand: why do women feel compelled to poke their fingers thru the holes in our favorite shirts?

  A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip and it calms my nerves."
  
  So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:
  
  1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
  
  2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
  
  3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
  
  4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
  
  5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not "bet his ass".
  
  6. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as "Daddy, Junior and the Spook".
  
  7. David slew Goliath, he did not "kick the shit out of him".
  
  8. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, he was not "stoned off his ass".
  
  9. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me"
  
  10. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

  A Question Of Manners.

  by Englishman in

  i'm looking for some feedback here.

  hl and i like to socialise sometimes, and this often results in us hosting small parties for a few friends.. often our friends reciprocate, and then we enjoy being guests instead of being hosts.. but we keep encountering a dilemma.

  one set of friends like us to visit them for afternoon bbq's or sometimes for evening dinner parties.. now, no problem with dinner parties, but if say we go to a bbq at around 4.30, they expect us to remain with them for the entire evening right through until around 11 pm or midnight, the same time as we'd stay to if we went to a late dinner party.. personally, i've had enough at about 9 pm, that's 5 hours, so we like to leave and have a pint or two in the pub on the way home.. now this makes them quite angry and they say that we're being anti-social because we are off to the pub instead of spending the whole evening with them.. i maintain that if you go to tea or a bbq in the late afternoon, then it's quite acceptable to depart earlier than if you went to a late dinner party.. what do you think?.

  I'm on your side, E-man. And sometimes I like to get rid of the guests by 9 pm or so as well.

  hmmmmm lovely lummily gorgeous day as celty sleepily rubs his eyes peering mischiviously at the world, ahhhhh the sun is shining again, its obviously going to be another glorious and grand day!!.

  now, there was something i was going to remind myself of today, oh thats it, yonks back along, i was in the most contorted state in my head as many here know, now tis a new week and my favourite day of all for peace, quiet and reflection.

  i must remember a few things this week in fairness to some of you more cantankerous lot.. that just as i was in one right hellish state of mind a long time ago, and it we'ren't at that time feeling too good with me emotions mashed an all, well, i must remember to show more patience and consideration for others who might be in similar frame of mind right now, new posters on jw.com, i must be kind and look after their needs, not shoot them down in flames just as i would have respected others to not do so back then when i was trying to find my way out of that kind of maze of recovery issues and feelings.

  Thanks, Celt. Those were great! I snapped a few of flowers in my yard the other day as well, and it's a good thing that I did. We had a nasty storm here Friday, complete with hail. The harge hail did a number on my irises.

  An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation ensues:
  Man: "I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Yesterday, I picked up two college girls, hitchhiking. We went to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times."
  Priest: "Are you sorry for your sins?"
  Man: "What sins?"
  Priest: "What kind of a Catholic are you?"
  Man: "I'm Jewish."
  Priest: "Why are you telling me all this?"
  Man: "I'm telling everybody."
