I wouldn't. We ended up divorcing. I can't say the religous disagreements were the only reason, or the main reason, but it certainly was one of our "irreconcilable differences."

Love means appreciating somebody for who they are, not for the person you hope to convert him/her into.

giants are headed to the world series !

they are putting new, better (more expensive) seats back when they finish their remodel.

Yes, that's the problem. Expensive deluxe seats are replacing the bleachers, where kids and working stiffs could afford the price of a ticket. No more bleachers means no home for the bleacher bums!

morning-after drug - any members with thoughts?

by berrygerry in

internally, being a father of many children, and being present for ultrasounds and other testing, etc., i appreciate the value of life.. as i understand it, the after-morning pill essentially terminates a 1 or 2 day old conception.. are there any thoughts about this?.

That is one of its effects. According to the Mayo Clinic:

"Plan B One-Step contains the hormone levonorgestrel — a progestin — which can prevent ovulation, block fertilization or keep a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus."

Edit to add MSDS information:

"Material Name: Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets

Statement of Hazard:
May cause cancer.
May damage fertility or the unborn child.
...
EU Indication of danger:
Carcinogenic: Category 1
Toxic to reproduction: Category 1"

OTWO: First lights and night games, now no bleachers for the bums to sit in? What's becoming of Wrigley Field?

The Giants are showing their mettle so far in game #1!

Hilarious Rumor: Halloween falls on Friday the 13th for first time in 666 years.

the date passed by already, so i will mention the silly rumor that was going around.

this is freaking hilarious.

the rumor is a gullibility joke where it is hoped that the reader fails to remember that this holiday observance is on the fixed date of october 31st.

They don't appreciate random people coming to their door.

Seriously, it's surprising how few people know that the Gregorian calendar repeats on a 400 year cycle (including days of the week). So all these Facebook/urban legend claims that "this awesome event (based solely on the calendar) occurs only once every 666 years" are obvious bunk.

I have family in both SF and KC, so I shouldn't choose sides. The regular season record suggests the Royals have the edge, but when it comes to the series the Giants know how to win the final game. I think it will come down to game seven, winner takes all!

According to two Vatican astronomers , it isn't out of the question. ("Guy" is br. Guy Consolmagno S.J., "Paul" is rev. Paul Mueller S.J.; both are with the Vatican observatory).

Would you baptize an extraterrestrial?

Guy: Only if she asks!

Paul: Just raising that question pushes me to ponder more deeply the meaning of my own baptism. If we can find God in all things, maybe an extraterrestrial could teach us something new about Jesus Christ and the Good News! I’d like that.
