  Congratulations! Flash fiction is a particularly hard medium to write, and you got TWO stories published together. Small press by no means invalidates the accomplishment.

  I don't recall it ever being called anything else. It's still the holiday it is, regardless of whether or not they feast and binge drink like the gluttonous drunken pigs us worldly people are. :D

  Actually, we don't know that about fossils, do we? They've always been preserved whole, rather than broken open and studied. I'll have to ask an archeologist.

  I agree with much Buddhist philosophy. This does not make me a Buddhist.

  attention can be good or bad.

  depends the way you look at it.

  how much attention do you get for being a member of this board?

  I wish this board was around 20 years ago. While the JWs talk a good game, their friendships are conditional.

  defd- taking bets on how long it takes for him to become apostate...

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  haha i hope this doesn't come across as mean or jerky or libelous... but i can totally see defd becoming apostate... he posts here a lot which means he reads even more.

  to me it's just a matter of "seeing it when you're ready to"... kind of like those 3d art things that were popular in the mid-90's... it's invisible until you make deep focus and at the same time blur your eyes to what you would normally see.
