kinda had a thought today: .
ever see that movie called force 10 from navarone?
it's about a u.s. commando squad (escorted by some british agents...you know, they always need the u.s.'s help...heh heh) in ww2 given the task of destroying a bridge in europe as to prevent a nazi crossing.
As an aside to the skipper dam buster; to get the bomb to skip across the water it was necessary to induce a spin on the bomb before release. This acted like a gyroscope and made the aircraft very difficult to control during the bombing run.

Of the useless information you didnt need to know class.
as most of you know, i'm studying tarot cards.
each week a new lesson arrives via e-mail.. a couple of weeks ago, lesson 3 showed me how to do a three-card spread.
it's where a queston is asked, the 22 cards of the major arcana are shuffled, and the top three cards drawn.
Ok here is my question:
What will be the winning lottery numbers?
i have already gotten an email from someone stating that their gift arrived safely in the mail.
i thought it would be nice to start a thread where we can post what we got (for those nosey like me who want to know!
) and a thank you.. as for me, i haven't even begun yet!
Well, I am back from my recent travels and came home to a very pleasant surprise. A box from another state was waiting for me to be picked up at the post office.
The mystery contained in this inoffensive box begged to be opened and solved. The box had kept safe during its travels a gift from a person who obviously put much thought and effort into its selection. The back of this figure has the texture and whorls of tree bark and old wood. Upon turning the shape around the image of two eagles becomes visible surrounding the bust, (no searcher and farkle not THAT kind of bust), of a wizened and contemplative American Indian.
Thank you, Vickie! Each time I look at this item on my desk I smile and think how perfectly it blends with its surroundings.
Vickie I apologize for not being able to write this sooner. Your gift was sent out in a timely manner but I was out of town, (some would argue out to lunch would be more accurate).

before i had started studying with the jw's i had tried to read the bible.
it didn't make sense to me.
(in all honesty, i didn't try real hard nor did i put forth alot of time into my readings).
Hmmmm
Didn't I read a post by Simon or someone that looked very much like him that put a prohibition on people using multiple identities on this forum.
Looks in Lefty/yadirf 's direction.
does anyone listen to enigma?
i recently started listening to a few of the songs, i love the song gravity of love , all of the songs are so relaxing
Santacruzchick,
If you liked Enigma you might also like listening to Enya.

Scooter made me do this so here it is.
I am male good sense of humor and the outdoors type.
My wants tend to be simple unless it is electronics then I tend to go a bit overboard. As you have already guessed from my nickname and image I am into raptors (birds of prey) but not to the extreme.
I tend to view the gift as an expression or insight into the person giving the gift. The gift tends to let me know about how they think or feel at the time the found the gift.
Some ideas that might help.
1. I am an avid reader, history, technothriller (eg Dale Brown, Tom Clancy) science fiction & fantasy.
2. Natural Crystal of some sort (Quartz etc.) simple yet well formed.
3. Obsidian sample as I am learning to knap my own knives and arrowheads.

ps I also do requested computer art of landscapes as a hobbie.
i am researching the jw religion...and i was talking to a man who was going to join.
he told me something about satan and his angels not being cast out until 1914...because that's when the first war in heaven happened.
i don't know how accurate he was, but please, if someone could help clear me on this?.
Farkle!
Shame on you for forgetting to mention the fact that the Michael and the angles had them outnumbered 2 to 1 as well.
i know him from silentlambs and now he is here.
i just wanted to welcome him here.. .
welcome buster!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome from a fellow newbie.
i was very sure that i was, for several years (in the 80's).
never ate/drank the emblems.
don't feel that way now at all.. i knew a few others my age that had a similar experience.. fantasy?.
One of my younger brothers (about 4 years old at the time late 60's) made a grab and serious effort to eat the bread. Didn't quite get it done though, intercepted by mom. Worried me a bit at the time would he be in heaven and not on earth with the rest of us.
Does that count?

panama city zookeeper mauled by lion .
panama city, fla. - a 500-pound african lion mauled a zookeeper who had stepped into the animal's cage thursday to pose for a magazine photo.. george koll, 61, was attacked in the head and throat by the male lion.
Just had a thought.
What if? **suspension of disbelief now toggled on**
After the resurection, 1,000 year reign, and for the second tribulation this happens.
Animals now no longer fearing man, revert to their old eating habits.
Predators hunting those not righteous or fast enough.
Paradise earth without man?
**Shrug**
**suspension of disbelief now toggled back on**
