LOL! She's great! I'm killin' myself here!!
"Non Pagan Gift Giving Day"... we called it "Merry Gift Exchange". "Everyone I know has Diabetes." ? (I can hear the theme from Twilight Zone playing in my head).
The sad thing is, there are people really like this on the Internet...
drinking.. i feel like ooompa.....................sometimes.. warlock .
I'm glad you're feeling better my little Golden Crowned Flying Fox.
beksbks ... awesome! He's gorgeous!
Well, I'm feeling better.
Warlock... good! And while oompa is correct, sometimes you just need to drown it for a while. If you wish to avoid or minimize hangover, drink water in between alcoholic beverages and if you can stomach it the morning after, drink a sports drink like Gatorade to replace your electrolytes. Hang over won't be so bad and won't last so long. I've actually avoided them altogether with this strategy.
childhood: roman catholic -> fundie bible thumper born again "alcohol is evil, non-whites are bad" type -> jw (abhorred the latter 2).
adulthood:.
checked out but didn't join--buddhism, hinduism, voodoo, wicca, paganism, greek mythology, italian folk magic, quakers, several native american traditions.. joined--roman catholicism (again) -> secular humanism [i still am an official member of both and that's where i'll forever stay.
I am still on my life quest, which includes spirituality, and I think I always will be. I believe it is part of the journey of life. Unfortunately... or maybe fortunately, we are not born with all the answers. I believe there is a reason for this. That by going through the physical experience of living, searching, and educating ourselves, we discover the real truth... the universal laws of nature... of life. The very things that resonate in one's heart as being principled. Experience is the best teacher.
I do not feel associating or identifying with any one man-made religion or group is going to be the ultimate answer. They are all part of the learning process... the journey. As my brother put it, my relationship with God and Jesus is personal and private. And while I agree with him, I believe at some point, we need to talk to other people about what goes on inside of us. Hence, fellowships and ultimately, organizations are created to fulfil this need. I've always been leary of 'organization' as this is where the human being seems to go off the rails. A hierarchy inevitably follows with levels of power and politics, with principles coming in anywhere from second... to not at all.
My ex feels we are all part of some gigantic lab experiment with earth being the maze and the humans being the mice. It is possible.
My hope is that what we have learned is not lost and that we help others to learn. Heaven
every time i type up something on here, i go through this ordeal.
okay, i've made my comments as meaningful and amusing as possible.
i check spelling, grammar, and formatting.
rebel8... hmmm... you could try using File - Work Offline in your Browser. That way you can type to your heart's content in the 'Post a reply' space and anytime you hit Submit you'll get the pop-up that will ask if you want to 'Connect' or 'Stay Offline'. Kind of a half-baked attempt at saying 'Do you REALLY wanna Post/Submit?' Now I'm thinkin' maybe your button should be renamed to that.... or maybe 'WAIT! Are You Sure You Wanna Submit?'
Right now, my button says, "I can post as many as 100 times a day!"
B the X... you're a machine! Of course, when I hear the term 'posting', I think of it in the context of horseback riding.
show us that brazillian wax job
Quirky1 ... yikes! I'm outta here.
set my alarm last night like a dumbass.
i mixed up the am and pm.
why oh why don't we use 24 hour clocks?
Not yet, but upon retiring, I might start a farm.
Any pointers?
Alright, Sylvia! You go, girl!! I hope to do the same thing... although I hope to have the land and start the design of it before I retire. I'm reading up on a subject called "Permaculture" right now and hope to use the design methods for my place. I may get my Certification as well. There are groups of Permaculturalists who are helping people 'Green The Desert' and restore otherwise barren lands to fertile and productive 'food forests'. You can check out a bunch of videos on YouTube. Bill Mollison along with David Holmgren started it back in the 1970s. I love the idea of 'micro-climates'. Just dying to try it!
As for the internal alarm... yep, I have that too. Ever since I was 10 years old living on the farm. Like clockwork my eyes are open at 4am.
John Doe... you may surprise yourself. Sometimes we perform to the best of our abilities when we are under stress. I hope you did well!

rank and file "oh okay".
pioneer "how high?".
I hear the Van Halen song start playing in my head.
...or are there a lot of "cougars" cruising jwn.
.
concerned jwn poster..
Awww... I love cougars! They are my favourite of the cat family... followed by the Black Panther.
Definition of the 'slang' term cougar from the "Online Slang Dictionary" ( http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/cougar ):
cougar: (noun) a middle-aged woman who seeks out much younger men.
And yes, I do believe it is just your imagination because you are assuming 3 things:
1) That the middle-aged women here are seeking much younger men to begin with.
2) That the middle-aged women here know the age of the men on this board.
3) That there are much younger men here on the board than 'middle-aged' women.

let me explain.... where i work - we are considered iso-9000 for our processes.
that means that we have a set of guidelines to adhere to - to make sure that our products met a set of standards - and quality.. okay.
so - i have a question on one of the procedures that is documented.
Jim_TX ... when the next ISO audit approaches, I suggest you get 'PHd Mathee' to take some vacation time so he's not an auditee candidate. Losing your ISO certification would suck!
FIRE... Ready... AimB the X ... LMAO!

rebel8 .... one suggestion might be to type up your post in a Word document first (style and size defaults seem to be Verdana 9 here). That way you can play around with it all you want and when you're done, select all your text in Word, copy it (CTRL C) and paste it to the Post area (place cursor in area and do CTRL V). That way you don't have to hurry Posting either. What do you think? Heaven

Right now my button says, "Billy is the Man!"
Hmmm... not bad... it does lack an action word, however. Let's see... how about "Billy Da Man Pitches It" or "Billy is the Man who Delivers".
For mine I could do something like "Heaven Sent" or "Straight From Heaven".
Any other ideas?
