i was surprised to hear this today.. poppies are not a big deal in the usa .

remebrance day (also known as poppy day or armistice day) is a memorial day observed in commonwealth countries since the end of world war i. to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.. "in flanders fields" .

in flanders fields the poppies blow.

Went to a war photography opening day exhibit in Houston yesterday. Was given one to wear when getting ticket.

Wasn't sure why it was given at the time, but wore it anyway.

FYI- It is a traveling exhibit. Well worth seeing, took me almost 3 hours to go through.

hi, this thread is inspired by the "bible characters trading cards" thread.... can we come up with a great list of female bible characters that were strong, decisive and inspiring?.

scully mentioned ja'el: drugging and driving a tent spike through the head (we all remember the awesome bible stories illustration) of the enemy general.. list yours along with a description of why they were so badass!.

Who (not what) is your guilty pleasure? (Controversial favorites)

by Terry in

jw
friends

we all have somebody we are crazy about that almost everybody can't stand.. if you mention their name your companions give you that "look" (ya know the one, like you just got caught picking your nose!).

i was thinking about this the other day.

i was truly curious if i'm mental or if everybody has a guilty pleasure list like i do.. i'm just going to assume we all do until you set me straight.. if you attach a photo and short explanation about why you like these pariahs it will be more meaningful.. .

Agonus- For many he was like the Mister Rogers for adults.

What? Not great art? Art is great if it is what you like and you think it is great.

As well as giving people confidence to paint, he helped to broaden the publics awareness and appreciation of the arts in general.

Kind of like Julia Child and gourmet cooking.

i don't know about you, but i love saturday mornings...now that crawling out of bed on a cold november morning to go and knock on doors is no longer on the agenda.

does that sense of being free ever grow old?

i hope not any time soon at least.. this week we've had quite a few atheist vs believer threads along with speculation on what the actual numbers are on jwn :.
