I can imagine the churches kicking and screaming and hanging on with their fingernails over this! Woohoo, tax the bastards! Free ride is over, or at least it ought to be.

first T-day dinner this year
by Hortensia ini live in a seniors-only apartment complex.
management has a tendency to patronize us, which is interesting and rather entertaining.
today we had our annual t-day dinner for the seniors, catered by a local church.

Well, this current writer just doesn't have the mojo the old one did -- one of them was Russell Davies -- can't remember the other guy's name. Anyway, the last couple of years of Dr. Who haven't been that good except for a few shows.
This most recent one -- The Day of the Doctor -- wasn't especially memorable except for the cool role for Rose Tyler. O/W, kind of hohum.
Still, I'm looking forward to Capaldi. An older doctor sounds like a good idea.

Do you have smoking ban in your community?
by Iamallcool indoes it include all public places, etc...?.

Smoking is banned on the property where I live, the entire apartment complex. Smoking is banned on the entire hospital property next door. So I see the amusing sight of hospital and apartment employees standing exactly on the property line between the apartments and the hospital so they can smoke. It's very funny to see.
Smoking has been banned in indoors public places in California for a long time. It's rather a shock to go to some other state and have to eat in smoky smelly restaurants, try to find a hotel with non-smoking rooms. I don't think I actually know anyone who smokes. Progress!

Well, I finally got to watch the Day of the Doctor. Found a legal place that streamed it for free from the UK. I have to say, what a cool role for Rose Tyler! I liked that quite a bit.

You have to get into training! I've been doing 1700 calories/day for weeks now. Some days as low as 1400 calories. I plan to eat my several t-day dinners and not gain a pound!

Walking down the street, the trees were beautiful. Walking down the street, I saw the trees were beautiful.
I saw the trailer peeking through the window. Peeking through the window, I saw the trailer.
Reaching the station, the sun came out. The sun came out when I reached the station.

Survey: Who Here Believe In God/The Bible? Who Are Not Sure? Who Do Not Believe?
by minimus ini think there are many that still want to believe in a god but just aren't sure.. personally, do you believe in a god?.
are you a "spiritual" person?.

Hortensia
oh jesus, same old discussion, round and round
To answer the OP, I don't believe in any religion, don't believe in any spirit world, don't believe in any kind of god. I think this life is all we get, and we should do the best we can to enjoy it without harming others.
The bible, well the kindest thing you can say about it is that it is folklore.

Past-Life Regression
by Hortensia inanother long story, folks.. when i left the wtbts at the age of 30-ish, i was wide open to anything.
i had decided i might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
i was going to massage school, which was full of true believers of every sort from the christians through the eastern religions to the woowoo artists.

Urban legends are often very funny. And people get really annoyed if you send them some correct information, such as Snopes.com. They aren't interested in the truth of the matter, just in a good story so they can get righteously angry.
