  when even an environmentalist leftie admits that things are getting better, what hope is there for an early end to this system of things??.

  Have the security arrangements been slackened, or is there more to this that's not being aired here? To be obtained by private email, perhaps? I'll definitely come if health permits...

  I don't get it - couldn't she have slept with the hitman and given her husband grounds for divorce?

  And don't divorce laws grant divorce on the application of one partner as long as there is sufficient time of separation showed?

  skeptics of the world, unite!.

  as i slowly and deliberately nursed a nonalcoholic cup of coca-cola tonight, something motivated me to pull out my notes on infinitism and share them with you good folks here.

  infinitism is a philosophical school of thought that advocates the epistemological "suspension of judgment.

  Maybe my ill health and the illnesses which beset my family make me a little sensitive to any exhortation to "throw away my crutches", Duns.

  I have. One day this sister I got rained out. So, we went home. As I was preparing for BKS for the following day, the phone rung and this gal was looking for my parents. Since they weren't home, she told me what she wanted. It was on healthcare. After she got done talking, I mentioned what promises that Jehovah and Jesus have for us mankind with no need for healthcare insurance. By the end of the conversation, she gave me her snail mail addy, so I can send her the Greatest Man Book.

  Well, isn't that just peachy-dandy! There's no need for health insurance because Jehovah and Jesus have already paid the premiums on the Paradise Earth.

  All I can say is that this woman is too young to remember 1975...

  PS Are you suffering from narcissistic personality disorder?

  Nope. Cyclothymic Disorder. Get a disability pension for it and all...

  If bullshit were art we are talking piccasso here.

  LOL

  If you're going to bullshit, you might as well do it well! You might say I'm a perfectionist in that regard.

  No clinking allowed

  with the weekend almost upon us, thoughts may be going to those pleasant social gatherings where you might like to share a drink with friends.

  i was reminded of the "no clinking" rule last night when at a gathering i met up with a couple of former bethelites.

  we, my daughter, the couple and myself took glasses of champagne in hand and the ladies were about to clink glasses when they halted.

  Don't worry, Ozzie, I'm more than willing to clink whatever I've got against whatever you've got at the weekend gathering.
