It will be a long time before the local dubs forget who I am, so I don't think it's likely they'll even ring my doorbell anytime soon.

I have become a return visit!
by pajaha injust for background, i da'd 12 years ago and i'm now an atheist/agnostic.. i normally avoid answering to the jws (i can usually tell it's them because i hear two sets of incredibly moving footsteps coming up the stairs to my flat) or they do a quick "magazine presentation" and then they're off.
on one occasion a few weeks ago i answered and the guy seemed up for a discussion.
i said i was an atheist, a lengthy discussion ensued and he "placed" a creation /evolution leaflet with me.. i was expecting a call and, after avoiding them a few times, i finally answered.

If There was a Cosmic Pain meter...
by cofty inimagine that it was possible to precisely measure the amount of suffering in the world at any given moment - a cosmic "pain meter".
decide for yourself what the unit of measurement would be.. we can only imagine a fraction of the combined suffering that is being felt right now.
physical pain, emotional despair, grief, desperation, loss, terror and hopelessness.. of course if there is an omniscient god then he knows to the last iota what that theoretical meter would read right now.. the bible contains a number of answers to the question of suffering - ever since the babylonian exile one popular answer has been to blame his nemesis the devil, "we know that we are children of god, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

I agree with your analysis Cofty - god, if he exists, is either an asshole or impotent.

What are you Thankful for???
by ohiocowboy ini am thankful for my partner of almost 11 years, and am thankful for the friends that i have made on the board, which include, but are not limited to:.
snowbird, broken promises, glander, mr and mrs. rabbit, big tex, nina, elsewhere, lady lee and all others i have had a chance to know.. i am thankful for our humble home, and am thankful that i have been able to fill it with furnishings and trinkets of yesteryear, things made from people that have been passed from generation to generation over the course of 200 plus years.. i'm thankful that we have enough food to eat, and that we are able to feed the countless raccoons, possums, birds, squirrels, slugs, snails, reptiles and every other living creature that passes our doorsteps and yard.. i am thankful that i had my little girl for 14-1/2 years before she died.
even though i still grieve for her on a daily basis, i am glad that i was able to share with her and give her the same love that she showed me while she was alive.. i am thankful that we are able to have enough to sponsor 3 children in africa and south america every month, so that they too can eat and have much needed medical care.. i am thankful that the latest overseas fight didn't end in a world war.. what things are you thankful for??

I am thankful for my family, for the good fortune to live in a place where flush toilets and electricity are standard, and for all the material comforts I enjoy.

every single thing about your life changes. you don't get to sleep when you want, you don't get to eat when you want, and you don't get to watch what you want on tv. but it's worth it, or so i've heard :p

Job...less
by LouBelle init was about 6 weeks or so ago that i excitedly posted that i had gotten a job that i had been interviewed for.
in the weeks that have passed i have been in contact trying to find out about my paper work - i still have not gotten a letter of appointment, an offer or a contract.
i have expressed concern at their lack of professionalism but that falls on deaf ears.

I would assume that the permanent spot has failed to materialize and act accordingly. I don't understand how people can be so needlessly cruel either.
