I pm'd you, too. Are you doing okay?

Chicago Festers:

So I will be going for sure (hooray for me) and my mother will be accompanying me. She's not a member of this forum, and I doubt she's ever been here.

So Blondie, add two for sures to your list!

Thanks for all the work you've put into this BTW.

I'm at work now so I'm trying to get someone to work my weekend. A few people owe. Man I really hope I can go. It sounds like a fun crew. Count me into the potentials. I don't know if I'd bring the husband....he might feel a little wierd will all of us f'd up ex-JW's around. We'll see. I'll let you know for sure, via pm, Blondie.

kls-Bummer. I really was hoping to meet you face to face. What on earth could possibly be more important than an apostafest? Field Service? That done at noon.

Searcher- completely off the subject: is that little avitar your puppy? I am instantly in love. I'd steal him from you in an instant! Probably one of the cutest puppies I've ever seen. Is it a shitzu?

Just curious

Still prejudiced towards Halloween

by Snapdragon in

i was just reading the thread on how to pick the proper pumpkin.

(thanks xandria) it got me thinking how i still have this recoil factor when it comes to halloween.

it was always "satan's holiday" that i still tell my friends that i probably won't participate in the festivities when i decide to have children.. what do you guys do about this issue?

Snapdragon

Good one Badger! So I should dress like my mom to keep in the spirit of the demonistic holiday!?! Just kidding, she isn't that bad.

Thanks all, anyway, for the input. I think I'll be able to hand out candy with little guilt now.

Hybrid Alien Humans

by Satanus in

this from the magazine 'wired' http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,65252,00.htmlmore than 500 different species of bacteria exist in our bodies, making up more than 100 trillion cells.

because our bodies are made of only some several trillion human cells, we are somewhat outnumbered by the aliens.

it follows that most of the genes in our bodies are from bacteria, too.

Snapdragon

Satanus, there is an interesting sci-fi book on this very subject. Its called Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear. He basically theorizes (using a fictional story line) that a virus all humans carry induces evolution. I really enjoyed the book, but unfortunately never got to finish it.

If you have time or inclination, check it out. Its a fairly intelligent book.

I'm AWARE, thanks Ona. I work in a department with lots of men around. Nothing but swearing and pouting going on the day after a game. I love the Pack, always will....but when they drive up the use of the Employee Assistance Program (a free counciling service at work) by 75%, we have a major problem on our hands.

Please God, let the defense get it figured out, please.....

Cicatrix: that is a great article, thanks. I printed it off and will keep it for future defense reasons. I am going to do a bit more research on my own to confirm the theologian's claims, though. I don't want any loop holes for my active JW family. Thanks a bunch.

Room: I completely agree with your assesment of fall. All those things you mentioned do thrill me. They're my consolations to the fact that I can't play outside in the dirt for another 6 months.

Nancy and Billygoat: I suspect that your attitudes are where I'm headed. It just seems like the natural path to follow.

Under74: Do you pass out candy at the door, and decorate your house? I haven't been able to do those two things yet. I'll admit to going to my sister-in-laws house one Halloween, but I just couldn't work up the nerve to pass out the treats. I was so nervous.

Any ideas about what I should dress like for a party I'm going to on the 31st? I don't think I'll ever get into the more ghoulish aspects of the holiday. I really can't think of any clever costumes, though.
