we all go through times of stress and sad times.
what is a simple, yet profound saying that you have reminded yourself of to make these troubling times easier?
you don't have to believe in a literal god, just that there are higher thoughts within us that we all are able to draw from.. the one that has worked the best for me is: .
CZAR's top five spiritual sayings,
1. "You don't want to die a virgin."
2. "They're Irish, they can't help being sinister."
3. "A boarded up Long John Silver's is such a sad thing to see. It's like a little piece of dead Nantucket."
4. "High fructose corn syrup is people!"
5. "Do not jump around like a Jello Jesus."

you know, living forever sounds really great.
but really, what would life be like without death?
death really helps to define who we are.
Pretty much what I'm doing now, which is theater and comedy and staying out late with all the wrong sorts of people...

we had a birthday "party" for my daughter at a local restaurant today, with a group of her friends invited.
we are "inactive" but i still attend some meetings.
i do not comment or want any 'privilages'.. anyway, one person whom my daughter invited is a jw, though she has said that she may want to get out soon.
Rocketman - you're screwed, done and toasted. The only thing you can do now is be brave and face the music. But when the Old Men in Suits are done tearing their way through "The Heresy Polka", you'll be able to dance freely and happily. Even the Lambada if you wish! "No, not the forbidden dance! It's too hot!" you say?
CZAR says, "Dirrrrty dancing is the best!"

when my mil invites my husband to the memorial he plans on saying, "well i've already been to the memorial before.
if you've been there once, there's no need to go again since the talk is the same mumbo-jumbo year after year and i'm not anointed anyway.".
what do you plan on saying or have you said?
My mum was bugging me about this earlier this week - I don't know how to say no.
How about "no."
Hm. It'll be the first memorial I've ever missed in a quarter of a century...
How about "I'd rather spend eternity wearing button-down plaid shirts and raking leaves while hugging koala bears." Oh wait, that's our fate if we DO go...

i don't think so, but the turks aren't known for being nice.. despite a barrage of criticism from the media, england are odds on favourites to win their next euro 2004 qualifying match against turkey at the sunderland stadium of light.
the visitors have won their opening three group games and anything other than a defeat would put them in a very strong position.
the hosts are currently at around evens to win group 7.. .
Wales was suppressed by Edward I (you may remember him from Braveheart). He was a ruthless, double-crossing sonofa$$$ who knew exactly what to do to conquer his island - pure Plantagenet! He was called the "Hammer of the Scots" for his brutal and efffective repression of their traditional rebelliousness...
I'm of Scottish descent myself, and I have to give credit where credit is due. When it comes to being a ruthless autocrat, nobody can beat the Plantagenets.

if and when this american offensive is over with, would you go into iraq to help rebuild its economy?
if an opportunity presented itself now for you to go into a war-ravaged country to reestablish power, telecommunications, or refineries, etc.
and the pay was well beyond anything you could make in your home country, minus the taxes, would you do it?
Please go! I would feel happy knowing that good people are over there helping rebuild the damage...

on this thread, i will comment from time to time, as current events unfold, for the benefit of mystery "israel", god's name people.
Just out of morbid desire to discuss this horrible idea:
New York, N.Y. 7,322,564
Los Angeles, Calif. 3,485,557
Chicago, Ill. 2,783,726
Houston, Tex. 1,637,859
Philadelphia, Pa. 1,585,577
San Diego, Calif. 1,110,623
Phoenix, Ariz. 984,310
San Antonio, Tex. 959,295
Dallas, Tex. 1,007,618
Detroit, Mich. 1,027,974
Those are the ten largest cities in the US. Should we give Bin Laden a medal for nuking Detroit?

i thought this was interesting...one does wonder to what extent the electronic part of the war is going on and how it might make for a kick ass movie... .

It's stupid. No, the site should not have been hacked - and while the Al-Jazeera network does slant against the US, they are the best crop of budding Arab journalism - not great, but getting there. and they are a comforting indicator of the West's growing influence in how the Arabs view the world. The whole concept of journalism is a Western idea - and from what I've read some of the guys at Al-Jazeera are trying to do it right.

a journalist's account of the killing of a car full of iraqi civilians by us soldiers differs widely from the official military version, says brian whitaker .
tuesday april 1, 2003 .
the invasion forces suffered another self-inflicted disaster in the battle for hearts and minds yesterday when soldiers from the us 3rd infantry division shot dead iraqi seven women and children.
I didn't say sqaut to you, idiot.
You can't spell "squat." Appropriate, since most of your opinions involve squatting and intestinal convulsions. I don't know how they spell it in your coffee-house socialist meetings, but in America we spell it "squat."
