it's fascinating!.

My first page of cards was as follows: K of Hearts, J of Clubs, K of Spades, Q of Diamonds, Q of Clubs, J of Diamonds
My next page of cards: Q of Hearts, K of Clubs, J of Hearts, Queen of Spades, King of Diamonds.
This guy not only removes the card that you were looking at, he removes all of them and replaces with other cards. No ESP, Only memory games.

for some time now, i have been becoming aware of with what great high esteem our british cooking is regarded throughout the world.
i am not just talking about botulism and salmonella pie steak and kidney pie, but the really traditional stuff, some of which is almost edible.
here, for your delectation and comments, is our first great british dish, cod, chips and mushy peas:.
Ah Eman,
Thank you for posting the lovely steak and kidney pudding picture. After looking at the pic, I have decided that I must have had pudding instead of pie on my last visit.
Here's an odd story. While at the hospital for my presurgery tests a couple of weeks ago, the nurse stated to me that I would not be able to donate blood to the Red Cross because I had been to England and ate beef right after the mad cow disease outbreak had settled down. I dont know if this nurse was telling me the truth or not. She acted a bit loony. Has anybody else heard about the blood donation ban of Americans that traveled abroad a few years back?

Eman,
Thanks for sharing the lovely pictures. I love steak and kidney pie. Seeing your pics makes me long to go back to England as soon as financially possible.
Warning to those traveling to GB:
On the surface English food looks delicious. But usually, in a restaurant, it is over cooked and tasteless. The only tasty English food that I have ever had is the food prepared by the English homemakers. Even then, I wont attend an English Barbeque. The meat is so over cooked you can no longer tell it used to be meat.

Good point about the radio, boys. Why should a radio station dictate peoples' tastes? One minute i might be listening to new stuff, then 40 yr old stuff, the next 400 yr old stuff (hildegard of bingen). Musical freedom, i say. Then there is the obnoxious dj issue
Ever since the invasion of the radio consultant, all radio stations are starting to sound alike. Even English radio stations are starting to sound as if they have the same radio consultants that the US has. These consultants bring in people for focus groups and ask them questions about what they like about the artists, music and the particular radio station that is conducting the survey.
The information that they gather is then considered to be the law as to what other listeners want to hear The problem with the focus groups is that they are all comprised of boring people who do not like to listen to new or non-familiar music. Since radio stations want to target an audience as opposed to appealing to everybody and having their format "all over the road", the program directors listen to the focus groups and to the consultants. The sad thing is that the boring music you hear on the radio these days brings in good numbers in the ratings medium...MJM, Arbitron, etc.
Whereas you may not like it, the bottom line is money. Most people who do not like the radio formatting do not listen to the radio much. Therefore, their opinions do not count.
Radio is not the same since the invasion of the consultants. It is one of the reasons I no longer enjoy working in radio.
Then there is the obnoxious dj issue
Well, radio personalities cant win. If we are given too much freedom in what we say we are considered obnoxious. If we are only allowed to read what the liners say, then we are boring.....another reason that I no longer care to work in radio.

((((((cassi)))))).
i just noted some posts by you.
welcome back, i hope you are feeling and doing much better.
((((((((((Cassi)))))))))))
if we were to go back to the borg, would we see any marked difference in the attitudes/environment in the organization?
would it appear more liberal or more strict than it was 20 or more years ago?
or would it appear that not much has changed?.
Jigrigger,
Since I have been out of the Borg for just about 20 years, I can't say that I have kept up with WTS policy.
Another poster on this board and I went to the KH last week to do a little apostate spying but we didn't hear anything that seemed different. Even the song books were the same as when I left.
The love bombing was delicious, though.
Robdar, you are historical evidence that your ancestors exist. And, I'm sure, there are many other historical evidences as well, perhaps letters your grandfather wrote his mom. The same is not true of Jesus. The big guru dude didn't see fit to write a damn thingSix,
I was mostly having fun with the topic. But I must point out that my existence proves nothing. Robdar may be the figment of somebody's imagination. Or, if I am a real person, perhaps my great great grandfather was illiterate, therefore leaving no documents behind proving his existence.
btw, whoever was using the nom de plume "shakespeare" was shakespear, in that example, Robdar. I don't think you are understanding the difference between Jesus and your other examples. But those differences are there, and they are large
Will Shakespeare could be a collection of stories that were going around that somebody took credit for and added Will's name to in order to give his existence some merit. I have seen the house where Shakespeare, the man, was supposedly born. There are all manner of stories that have popped up around his life. If the person who recorded Shakespeare's stories was Shakespeare, then James, the man who recorded the stories of Jesus, is James.
I think seedy is right. Emotion, not reason, is the only reason anyone feels 100% sure that Jesus existed, at this point. I tend to think the weight of evidence leans strongly toward some religious figure named Jesus being factual, but that is as far as it goes. I just saw mentioned in the news story that spawned this conversation, that Jesus was a common name in Isreal at the time of our calendar change.
I must agree with this point. But, I still enjoy the stories.
Love,
Robyn
