after reading a few threads regarding the upcoming christmas season, i thought i'd post a funny story, and ask you to add to it.. if you've ever received a wacky present, or one you had to pretend that you liked, please post it.. about 5 years ago, when i first started celebrating christmas with hubby, i got a real shocker of a present.
a deep fryer.. now, hubby was *very* proud of himself.
you see, about three months prior to christmas we were going through costco (warehouse type store) when i noticed they had a nice little deep fryer.
Lisa Typical male...lol
One year I gave my step son and hubby $100 to buy me a few dainty pair of gold earrings. I never wear anything but real gold or silver, due to a nasty infection once. I figured for $100 they could buy me a few pairs of $30 earrings. I even told them which ones I wanted a few days before. Can't get a bigger hint than that!
Christmas morning, I had about 20 tiny boxes under the tree, I should have known then! They had spent the whole $100 on cheap $5 gold filled, u-g-l-y earrings! I had to cough up a grin for that, I was so disappointed, but he was so happy I hated to make him feel bad. Of course I never took them back, but I never wore them either, I still have them somewhere, I wouldn't even give them away haha.
I agree Andi, Gift Certificates!
Nelly,
I can't stand perfume either Give me a good body spray for after the shower and I am good to goEvery now and then I will use a dash of Oscar Del Renta. I have had the same bottle for 6 years...hehe Is there an expiration date on that stuff?

there has been a number of threads related to evolution in the last month or so.
some posters, like penn, subscribes to a form of creationism, which i for this purpose will define as denial of large scale evolution (sometimes called macro-evolution).. even saner people sometimes alleges that scientists are unnecessarily 'dogmatic' about evolution, and that this is 'just a theory.
' these people may be recent exjws or jws, still believing the watchtower propaganda against evolutionary science, or accepting similar claims from various fundamentalist preachers and groups.
Abaddon,
You are just to sexy too talk toKeeping my eye off your pic as I type to you. Haha seriously though, you said
I am hugely, massively, happy to conceed that if someone has had a subjective experience, be it formative or sumative, that leads them to believe, it is a wonderful thing for them. If something happened to me that made be believe in god, I would believe in god.
This is an interesting comment, I almost stole it and started a new thread. I am wondering if you would really? And what type of thing would it have to be? For any of you heathens out there Is there a certain thing that could happen that would turn you around and back to blind faith again? Though spoken in jest, this is a serious question.
Any takers?

Lisa,
Haha typical responses. I suggest you nip it in the bud by bringing the subject up yourself. Take someone off to the side and say, "You know I am really worried, I am concerned he may not be the father." or how about, "Good thing we live in Cali this boy needs some SUN!"
Hehe no matter what, people are gonna think what they want to anyway I just can't get over how perfect his face is! Man what a doll.

friday.
well sad to say it was not revelations of sweeping reform or "new light" on caring for the flock.
the first day was primarily rehash of old stuff.
Messenger,
Just to parrot the others, thanks for the summation. Like I would ever sit through one of those...lol it was neat to get an inside look.
I have to mention the 15 minutes...wowsers! I mean reallly how hard is it to get an hour in? Even for those infirmed, we always had phone witnessing in their homes, or letter writing so they could remain active. I remember there was one sis who could only stuff the envelopes with a tract, we wrote the letter, but she clocked in the few hours we spent with her.

Most Picasso paintings share the same stuff, similar features etc.
Most Monet paintings share the same stuff, themes, colors, etc.
But yet each painting is created seperatly at different times by the creator, the painter.
Your also trying to prove your point by making good points in themselves yet they have no real connection with the subject matter.
rather than proving a point your really only making a point.

Thanks Jan
That was a very informative, and easy to read article. As I mentioned before, with your help I was able to convince my active Jw mom that evolution is indeed a fact. Most people who cling to the need of a belief in god will turn away and not even examine the evidence of evolution.

hi gang,.
man, what a brouhaha we have going on now, eh?
i wonder if all could please reply to this post with your list of log-on names.
Can I make a request that people don't create any more duplicate accounts.
It does make it more difficult to monitor and limit potential trouble-makers and also makes it difficult to see or count the posts by each user. I will be consolidating all 'duplicate account owned posts' with their proper owners over the next week or so.I know the post limit is a bit annoying but it is there for good reasons (to me anyway):
It helps keep the forum manageable in terms of the space it consumes.
It stops things becoming so busy that people can't keep up. I've added a limit to the number of threads that can be created for this reason too.
It stops individuals consuming a disproportionate amount of forum 'resource' and having more of a voice than anyone else.I hope this isn't too inconvenient for everyone.
Thanks for your help & cooperation

i picked up this essay on another site and wanted to share it with y'all.
not sure of the original writer, so i'll credit www.thebigshow.com for posting it.. ---.
i'm a bad american.
Hate to disappoint you all put that is the whole story. I was not there, and can only tell what what the ones who witnessed it told me, that includes the girl in the checkout and the store mananger. I did see the man who attacked them, he was from middle eastern decent, and actually looked quite wealthy. He was wearing a suit, several gold rings and driving a beemer.
He overheard their conversation, was offended by it, walked up and threw a punch. In NY there is a law, I will find it if you need me too, I am sure it would be easy to locate on the web. But my brother inlaw was charged with agravated harrasment based on race or ethnic orgin. The man was not charged with anything. The store mananger was very upset about this, and actually told the police the man should be charged because of causing a disturbance in the store. But the police said that he was motivated to do this, due to Tom's and my BIL convo.
BTW, this is what Tom looks like, he is constantly accused of being an Aryian. But the truth is he is 26 years old and is going bald, his poor male ego couldn't stand this so he shaves his head. He is a very sweet person who bends over backwards to help others. But because of the way he looks, he is often tagged as a racist.
