I got into FB after our daughters wedding so I could see all the family pics from the event. I jumped out of FB a few months later because it was too intrusive into personal life. I am 3 years clean and sober.

by fulltimestudent in

two days ago (december 22, 2012) a high speed train with a media contingent left beijing west rail station bound for guangzhou, 2298km away.

this is the latest section of china's high speed rail netweek and the longest high speed rail route in the world, with trains travelling at an average of 300 km/hour.

the first official passenger train left yesterday (23rd).. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-20829930.

Someday maybe the US will catch up to the standards of mass transit other countries are already enjoying. Green, sustainable and lowest carbon emissions per passenger mile.

Do you order Salmon Online? Where did you buy it from?

We live on the Columbia river in the Pacific Northwest. The Warm Springs indians catch and sell Salmon that are still twitching! They pull them in about a 1/4 mile from our house.

Salmon is so rich we really don't eat it as often as one might think.

Just don't get it confused with "whack a mole". That's a whole other thang.

PS - The quickest way to crush your nuts is to put them in a plastic bag, lay them on a solid surface and give them a few whacks with a meat tenderizer mallet.

my vote is for the lord of the rings, all three of them.

or pretty much any star trek movie.

i tried watching the lor movies today, but my god, it's just battle after battle after battle and frodo, cute guy though he is, wimping out all over the place and having to be carried by everyone.. dull... i have never succeeded in watching those damn movies from beginning to end..

I've enjoyed reading Lee Childs, "Jack Reacher" books. I have his latest waiting on my kindle. When I read that Little Tommy Cruise was going to play the part of 6'5" bad ass, Reacher, I knew I would never see the film. Now I've come across two respected movie critics who are dusting off their nastiest language to give it a thumbs down. Too bad.

The Best of Both Worlds

by donny in

no, i am not quoting the title of van halens greatest hits cd.. it is a statement of how successful the society has been in molding their "faithful and discreet slave" concept of total trustworthiness.. on one hand they deny that the faithful and discreet slave are infallible when it comes to revealing the words and commandments of god.

they have no position of "ex cathedra" as the pope claims to possess.

therefore they can "sometimes" be overzealous or have a misunderstanding on a matter.. however on the other hand they claim that these occasional missteps are very few and far between therefore we should award them the honor of trusting them to be the sole channel of gods communiques.. this came to mind because of a jw that i work with made this comment.

Ding - That's it!

LOL, very good.

The NFL game to watch this week

by Glander in

san francisco 49'ers vs the red hot seattle seahawks.... i am torn as a 49'er fan and a current 'hawks fan.. vegas is giving sf a 53-47% edge.

that's pretty close..

Glander

Hey, man! I love the Ravens. I watched the game yesterday and in a way it was a better game than the Seattle/SF game. (not)

Who agrees with this - I have been watching NFL from the B&W TV days. I don't recall a season with as many tied/overtime games as this year.

yep, Donny, you are spot on.

It only works if you have:

A - a slavish cult following that never questions your pathetically clumsy deceitfulness.

B - the power to destroy the lives of the slavish cult following if they question your pathetically clumsy deceitfulness.
