my mom and i used to collect all sorts of glass, jars, and the nick knacks made from glass.. we had those bear types of grape jelly jars.
other animals too.. we also had standard grape jars that had patterns on them, a lot from like hanna barbara cartoon shows.
scooby-do for one, with the mystery mobile and the gang.
Stamps.
My dad used to give me all his spares, just to keep me out of his way then I inherited his entire collection when he died - by default really as I was the only one who was interested in them lol! I also acquired two large collections from people I worked with - they were going to throw them away!!!!!
Now I just need time to sit down and go through them all!
has anyone seen this documentary?
do you think al qaeda was just made up or does it really exist?
sammieswife.. top ranking cia operatives admit al-qaeda is a complete fabricationby mr. charrington on january 7, 2008. bbcs killer documentary called the power of nightmares.
It doesn't exist as an organised, seperate entity of its own. Rather it is a blanket name (meaning 'the Base') under which smaller factions operate (a bit like the UN then LOL!).
You might be able to see most of the documentary on YouTube - it is there - but I wonder whether all the clips will have been made unavailable in the US!
some say the race horses are treated better the humans.
some may be, others are being injected with cobra venom.

What is that in his hand, to hit the horse.
It's a riding crop. They're very flexible and because of that they don't usually hurt the horse as much as it appears - it's only like slapping them on the backside with your hand!
In the UK, if a jockey has hit his/her horse with excessive force (effectively flogging it) or too much (they are only allowed to use the crop a certain number of times over a certain distance), they get fined and banned from racing for a few weeks.
I disagree with you that owners and trainers don't care about their horses - they invest a heck of a lot of money, time and effort into the animals, are they not entitled to some return?
Would you put your savings in a bank account which didn't pay you any interest for example?
If you want to see some real cruelty to racing animals, check out what goes on behind the scenes in greyhound racing.
i don't know if the premises here are provable or not.

Here's a verse from the Qur'an you might like:
002.256
YUSUFALI: Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
PICKTHAL: There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
SHAKIR: There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
I don't see any mention of physical force there Chalam!

We do it the other way round over here - our trainers give brilliant horses drugs or even just extra feed which slows them down.
The horses lose a few races, their handicap weight gets lowered and their bookies odds get longer.
Then they get put in for a big prize race and outrun everything else - everyone's happy! (except the bookies and the racing authorities and the losing trainers!).
I disagree with the snake venom treatment you're highlighting PEC - that must be like playing Russian roulette with the poor horses life. Overall though, I believe that horse racing is one of the more humane sports involving animals. Yes they can suffer broken legs and then have to be put down, but this isn't because they'll never race again, rather, the logistics of trying to keep a horse relatively immobile for around 6 months whilst a break heals means that putting the horse down is often the kindest option.
they buzzed my flat,saying they were interested in talking to people who were concerned about the ecomonic/financial situation or environmental situation.. they showed/gave me what does the bible really teach.. they aske me when did i last see a jw,i said about a year ago,to which he said he was surprised.

Did you tell him your phone number?!
They might be back this week some time cos the new WT and Awake are out - do bear in mind that this is a Bank holiday weekend.

Re Surah 47:4
You seem to be ignoring the words "in battle" - what the hell do you expect fighters to do in battle - roll over maybe?! In any case, the full context of the verse might suggest to the very moderate Muslim that 'smiting the neck' does not mean beheading, but rather the general act of subduing/defeating - see the words which follow.
The moderate Muslim says that all mutilation is forbidden on the basis of Surah 4:119 and certain hadith, even though these were referring to specific situations, they recognise that all humans are God's creation, God's property - and as such are to be treated with respect.
Re Surah 9:005
Read the CONTEXT!!!!!
004 - Don't harm those who haven't harmed you - even if they happen to be unbelievers.
006 - Protect unbelievers who seek protection, no forced conversion.
And you've done exactly what the terrorists do - taken odd verses out of their literary and historical contexts. How 'bout this for Christ's example:
Luke 19:27
But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."
Luke 22:36
He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
Matthew 10:34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword
Perhaps you prefer the Old Testament stuff:
1 Samuel 15:2-3
This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "
Wow - this amount of destruction is actually forbidden in Islam - even in battle!!
been thinking a lot about how quickly time seems to go and i wanted to share this with everyone.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2xodjbfyw8.
