Well, I write under the name "Ken Adams".
Remember the episode of Friends where Joey and Phoebe are discussing the fake names they give out on dates? Phoebe uses the name Regina Philange, and Joey uses the name Ken Adams.
Interestingly, my sister revealed that Ken Adams was the name of a character from our past that I had forgotten. Another coincidence is that I happen to live in Regina, Canada.
my mom is slowly losing her old cat and her heart is breaking.
she would like to adopt a small dog.
(no puppies).
Over the years, we've had an assortment of cats and dogs. We now have a chihuahua. He is absolutely the best natured and most affectionate pet we have ever had. He's also quite a unique character.
i had a sandwich at subway today and my seat was near the door.
one of the patrons left with his buddy and i could hardly believe my eyes.
i'm no prude but it turned me off to see the belt line of his jean shorts down to the middle of his thighs.
I've noticed that rappers and such are always talking about trippin'. Well, one day I was picking my daughter up at school, and as I was watching the kids come out of the school, it dawned on me why they're always trippin' - it's their pants. Land sakes, if my trousers were that baggy, I'd trip too.
Then it occurred to me why their pants are so low. You see, where I work, I'm always going to conferences, and every conference gives you a brief case or nylon bag to put your stuff in. I now have cases and portfolios stacked like cordwood in my basement. Anyway, these rapper boys' dads are all in jail, so they don't go to conferences where they get nylon bags, so they don't have anything to put their bling into, except their pants pockets. Bling is pretty heavy, so it weighs their pants down low, which causes the trippin'.
If there's anything else you would like to know, just ask me.
this past weekend, we met a new couple in our campground, and the conversation soon came 'round to the supernatural.
the lady said she has had quite a few supernatural experiences, and that she plays her own home-made version of the ouija board.
my husband was all excited and begged her to play .
Now let me get this straight:
If you're a member of the true religion (ie baptist), then the board will work for you so that it can get your trust and steer you to falsehood.
If you're an atheist, the board won't work, because you're already in falsehood, so the job is already done.
So, if you're a muslim or some other religion, the board should work, right?
just a one-page article on an ex-jw support group in toronto.
macleans is canada's version of "time" with a large circulation.
it's also the magazine that did the large article on the septuplets.
That's a really great article. If there is any bible study out there who is sitting on the fence, this just knocked them off it.
They spend a billion hours a year trying to make converts, but their own stupid policies create so much bad publicity that they negate all the door to door advertising that they expend.
as of june 1st 2007..many canadians will not be purchasing gas from petro-canada.....why?.....to start a price war.....this will drop the price of gas in this country.....a question for my fellow canadians..will you be participating?
?...outlaw
This cannot work. It's actually an urban legend - look it up on snopes.
Gas companies make huge profits on their upstream operations (producing crude) and midstream operations (refining). They keep their retail arm extremely lean to discourage competition. You can't affect the upstream operations, because crude sells on the world market and you don't buy crude. You can't affect their midstream operations because all companies buy from the same refineries (they don't care who retails their product). So, hitting them in the retail arm is hitting them precicely where it doesn't hurt. The only one hurt is your local retailer.
Also, just think for a minute. If you take supply out of the system without reducing demand, prices don't drop - they rise.
As someone already mentioned, the only way to make prices drop is to reduce demand - use less gas.
hey gang, ive been away for a while so i thought i would come back with a bang, and share my good news - im 4 months pregnant.. but heres the really weird thing.

Does Little Toe know whether it's a boy or a girl?
this is making the rounds in the jw community ... keep barf bags handy .
subject: wow - what a wake upcall .... .

I think God is just making up excuses. Is he trying to tell us that the Amish didn't let him in?
I'll tell you the real reason - he's too busy watching people have sex. The old pervert.
As I said in my book, "God sat back and watched children go to the ovens in Auschwitz, but if you slap the ham, he's gonna come down to earth and kick your ass."
this topic came up the other night when i was chatting with nvrgnbk.
as some of you may know, i was born and raised as a jw.
i was actually a 3rd generation jw.
My wife auxiliary pioneered the month after she was baptized, so I don't think there was any blanket rule on the matter.
it just dawned on me, and i'm really a little put out over it.
i was reading alanf's comments about vinny and his willingness to sacrifice children if god told him to.
alan suggested any fundamentalist christian should agree he would, and vinny did in fact agree.
Well, Dave, it sounds like you can safely remove the "almost" from your handle.
Welcome to the wide world of atheism. To prove your loyalty, you must sacrifice a virgin.
