Reply to Why being prepared is always a good thing! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Sigh...I've had some of those days, too...when I'm not prepared for something. Sometimes the "winging it" concept works, but when it doesn't...it's a disaster...lol.

Hey, some of the Mars Volta guys are from my hometown. :) They've come back to play here a few times. As for getting them, sometimes they seem a bit noisy to me, but they are pretty original. Sigh...I see Pervy is annoying you once again. You only smiled just a bit at his Spanish class misfortune. I'll smile big for ya, then! :D

JU Writing Challenge: Bring It to Life in Writing JoeUser Forums

Here is my writing challenge to all you talented word artists: Bring an inanimate object to Life. Have a conversation with a coffee cup, create a love story between a hoe and a hose, have the can of yams on aisle 9 go on a rant. Have us guess at your object...OR...have it be very obvious. Make it fun, make it

Geesh, even God is probably getting some laughs out of this website, and chuckling even more over the hate mail. ;)

[quote who="dynamaso" comment="5"]I like how the pioneers put all their valuables on the roof. In Egypt, they do the opposite and put all their rubbish on their roofs. It looked like a great field trip, Rose.[/quote] Mark, I never knew that about the Egyptians...lol. And yes, it was a very nice field trip. :)

I don't know why, but I remember having trouble with Humanities courses when I was in college. Even with alot of effort, I think my best grades were Bs. Gosh darn it, I could have used you as a tutor.

Reply to An Interlude in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hiya, Mark. :) Thanks for updating the goings on in your life. Glad to hear that you and Toni are working at getting healthier. Can't wait to see your new tattoo. As for your band name, I just think it's good that you and your bandmates did finally come to an agreement on it instead of staying in a funk because of it. I haven't been doing much reading up on anyone's fiction, but maybe when summer break gets here, I'll have alot more time to catch up. I'm sure I

Reply to A Wing and A Prayer in Religion Stardock Forums

I try to start my prayers with a Thank You...but now and then I do forget. :P I do have to say, though, that I am making more of an effort to pray nightly and in the mornings right when I wake up (just a very short one). And being the Catholic that I am, I do bless myself before I leave the house. ;) Of course there are times when I do forget to pray, but I think I am doing a better job at it than I have before. I would like to believe that God listens to each and e
