  this is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.

  i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.

  he had been diagnosed earlier this year with myelodysplastic syndrome and the mortality rate of this disease is quite high.

  notre dame sues caterer mistakenly given $29g gratuitythursday, september 17, 2009. the university of notre dame has a new tip for a catering employee they mistakenly gave a $29,000 gratuity check: give it back.. a lawsuit filed by the indiana university claims sara gaspar used the accidental check to pay bills and buy a new car, myfox chicago reported.. notre dame claims the check, which was supposed to be for $29.87, not $29,387, was issued on april 17 and alleges caterer gaspar never notified university officials about the blunder.. gaspar claims when messages she left regarding the check went unreturned, she assumed the amount wasn't a mistake.

  she also said her supervisors told her the check was legitimate and they would pass on her messages to the human resources department, myfox chicago reported.. "i guess because it was there and i was in a bad situation, i went out and spent it," gaspar told the south bend tribune.

  "i was so excited ... i thought, i could pay some of these bills.".

  The amount of the check should have been written both in numerals and in words and they shoould be the same.

  It might be easy to make a mistake with the numbers but there is a big difference writing 'twenty nine dollars and 87/100' and writing "twenty-nine thousand three hundred eighty seven dollars.'

  If the numbers and words matched, then she might have a case for keeping it. Though I think she should have done more to inquire about it.

  i've just watched all 3 parts of francis ford coppola's epic godfather once again.

  it is a superb achievement on many levels.

  each viewing reveals something new and fresh.. i recall, as a good jw at the time, not seeing it when released as it was not certified as 'suitable' given the content for jws.

  Tower Of Babel

  by Blue Grass in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  note:this was a post i made on another thread but i felt it was off topic so i giving it it's own thread.. someone(who i can't remember) on a thread(which i can't remember) said the tower of babel story is proven false because some languages evolved from others and thus that was another strike against the bible as being fiction.

  however this person doesn't realize that there are languages on this earth that has absolutely no relation whatsoever such as chinese-english, spanish-arabic, greek-xhosa, etc.

  not to mention all of the ancient languages that are now extinct due to invading countries forcing their own language on other countries.

  They stop using common sense just so they can nip pick at any and everything in the Bible no matter how unfounded the attack is.

  It is "nit pick" not "nip pick". ( just a little nit picking of my own)

  You're welcome.

  I say go for it. Ten years might not be too much difference. My daughter is seven years younger than her husband and they are perfectly matched. They've had many obstacles to overcome, but the age difference hasn't been one of them. I myself am of the age is irrelevant school of thought.

  You won't ever know unless you try, so just do it.

  Oh and about the double standard, my SIL's best friend loves older women, he is 24 and likes women well into their 40s, possibly older.

  He got to meet Cindi Lauper and got a kiss- he was in heaven for weeks after that. Says that it's good to be open to people with experience.
