Hey, I'm from the South! We put ketchup on everything. It's not out of the question to have it on the table at Thanksgiving dinner for use with the turkey.

I like Ketchup on eggs...especially on scrambled egg sandwiches. Otherwise, for fried I like Louisianna hot sauce...and on omlettes, either salsa or a really good Filipinno red chili paste.

Met the Devil tonight

sure, i've been having a real bad time lately, but .

i was at dave and buster's tonight, a kind of grown up video arcade / bar / restaurant in the us of a and i saw a bugger, richie [edit], tonight.

i've known him and his sister abby for years.

I was nearly a guy like that. My sister...here she goes by Banshee...left. I let my self righteous self be a prig and shunned her. Suddenly she disappeard from our family for over a year. When I finally found her again and she let me back into her life, I vowed to never let idiology come between myself and a family member...and damn the consequences.

Anybody remember the Tree of Life board game?

by pennycandy in

i'm sure it was probably from stoops.

sort of like a trivial pursuit of wt doctrine.

guess this bible character from these clues to advance your little man, or maybe it was to collect fruits of the spirit on the big tree on the board, hard to remember.

CoonDawg

I recall it as a lame attempt at combining Trivial pursuit (fundamentalist christian zealot edition), Monopoly, and Candyland.

Some lame bastard would always haul the thing out at gatherings so that people could try to pick up other singles by wowing them with their apparent biblical knowledge. My brother and I would chuck the board, etc. and just quiz on the question cards. Of course we also did the same with Trivial Pursuit. Actually, I ended up on our school's "Quiz Bowl" team. Hey, we took second at the state championships.

I lost my job at Microsoft today...thanks to a wonderful economy...

for the last few years, many of my friends have lost their jobs and have not found suitable replacements.

most are on unemployment, and those whose unemployment has run out are simply eeking out some meager existence doing something they don't like, that doesn't pay well, and doesn't help to really reduce the stress they face every day.. well, to be honest, i used to laugh my ass off at them.

ha ha ha i would say.

Hell, I'm a trashy ol' company truckdriver. I do work for a Haz-Mat company and it's a great job. I should make about $65,000 this year. Not bad for a high school grad who isn't self employed and who has no college (YET!).

I hope you can get something soon.

My brother lives in Oregon...he works for Intel. He too lost his job when Fujitsu closed it's Portland operation.

Good luck.

Getting your house ---- JUST WRONG

ok confucious.......... .

what mistakes have you made?

i painted a bathroom lime green..........ok its called bamboo green...........yuk, now i have to repaint.

And HATE to bash on the dubs, but it seems EVERY single brother I've met takes such great pride in thinking they are a handyman and can do anything from Painting to Carpentry.

That's, in my opinion, just a "Christ complex". It's the idea that "I'm a handyman - JUST LIKE JESUS".

I've had my share of bad experiences with those kind of things. My ex wanted me to paint our house bright yellow. I told her that she was in charge of the inside appearance of the house, but the outside and the garage was mine. I painted it white with yellow shutters...and a nice lemmon yellow...not the neon that she seemed to want.

I went to a DC last year with my wife. It was much more tolerable because I took a discreet novel to read...and then at lunch, we went out. I usually had a beer or two...and we left early to join my worldly friends for dinner. My wife still buys into the crap, but at least she's "liberal" about things. She knows I sacraficed for her to even go at all...so she didn't rub it in.

This year, I made sure she got to the convention. I had a brilliant ( If I do say so myself) plan. I flew her down to West Palm Beach, FL over memorial day weekend. My mom and her went to the convention there while dad and I cruised the beaches in a mustang convertible that I rented. They got their religion fix and the priviledge of eating cheese and crackers on uncomfortable seats while dad and I got our fix of hot chicks in spandex at hooter's, bikinis at the beach, and our fill of wings and beer. Hey, everybody won this year.

My parents, both traveling separately, happened to be here on this Friday the 13th. They live just E. of Ft. Meyers which is where the storm hit landfall. It's been over 40 years since that area has been hit. They were right on the path. It was so great that they were here and not there where I had to worry. They actually live on higher ground, so all they have to worry about is the wind possibly knocking a tree on the house...but not the flooding. Plus my mom works for a broadcast company, so she was getting updates from the weatherguys...not by watching TV, but by calling them up and asking them personally...LOL

IF MARTIN LUTHER WAS A JW AS WT CLAIMS

.

then his support of the peasants revolt must have had jehoover's approval.. when did his church became apostate ?.

if his church become apostate,could same thing happened to jws?

CoonDawg

I have raised that very argument with my (still) JW wife. I've asked..."Who says that like the nation of Israel, the JW's wouldn't lose god's approval? Why wouldn't he switch horses at some point? According to doctrine, he has before."

That one actually got the answer of "well, if that's the case, I'd like to think I'm intelligent enough to switch too."

Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses. Evil minds that plot destruction, sorcerers of death's construction. In the fields the bodies burning, as the war machine keeps turning. Death and hatred to mankind, poisoning their brainwashed minds. Oh lord, yeah! Politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor, yeah. Time will tell on their power minds, making war just for fun. Treating people just like pawns in chess, wait till their judgement day comes, yeah. Now in darkness world stops turning, ashes where the bodies burning. No more War Pigs have the power, Hand of God has struck the hour. Day of judgement, God is calling, on their knees the war pigs crawling. Begging mercies for their sins, Satan, laughing, spreads his wings. Oh lord, yeah! --Black Sabbath, War Pigs
