I remember debating this subject some time back and getting into quite a heated debate about it with a running club member. One of the members of my club posted a public comment on our forum urging parents NOT to vaccinate their children. Of course I had to step in and give my two cents worth at the time. Now with this latest news I do feel vindicated. Of course, now I've moved and am not a member of that club anymor
this is just one of the many jokes going around these days. Thinking about my poor old dad getting ready to visit me via the airlines. It will be his first airline trip in many, many years. Hope they go easy on him.

I'm not a liberal nor do I hate them. Most of my friends are conservatives and I can't think of one who would use the word "hate" to describe the liberals personally. They may hate their ideas/platform but not the person. In fact I have one very nice friend who is as liberal as they come and I think alot of her as a person. Same with my very liberal grandmother. We get into some very heated arguments about politics but in the end we love

[quote]So basically a red junglefowl and a grey junglefowl got busy and laid a chicken egg.[/quote] because wikipedia said so you believe this? Notice the "was believed" part. so you have to ask yourself..where did the junglefowl come from? Which came first? The junglefowl or the egg the junglefowl hatched from?

"Wherefore I say to you all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men but the blasphemy AGAINST the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven to men." Matt 12:31.

it's quite simple really... without a chicken there would be no egg. So simple even a child can get it. Like I said the evolutionists have nothing on the creationists when it comes to origins.
Another idea besides the school is to donate to your local food pantries. We have a small church who relies only on the generosity of the church members who are mostly poor themselves to fund the food pantry. The church sits in an area of very poor folks. The run-down trailers all around the church attest to that. At times I peek in the little room to see very little left on the shelves. One local school (with the well to do kids in it) had
[quote]I love how you guys condemn her for not thinking, but are perfectly ok with men who did the same thing. [/quote] Which men are you talking about? The ones at the table who tried to reason with him? I used to watch Flashpoint which was a show about these types of situations. In it, these specially trained men and women would go into a hostage type situation and after securing the area they would then try to reason/talk down the agitated gunman. Th
I jumped into a family snake pit (hissing loudly) on my husband's side regarding this issue on FB a week or so ago. One of them wrote in using bad examples of marriage (Tiger Woods, Elizabeth Taylor, Brittany Spears etc) to show support for homosexual marrriage. My husband replied first explaining that these bad examples show the sinfulness of man. There are many things we're not allowed to do and marrying the same sex is just one exam
[quote]I'm gonna jump on his head, stick your leg out and trip him and the guy across the aisle will punch him in the balls." [/quote] I found it interesting looking back after I was attacked, that when I was on the ground and he was standing over me I had a very very hard time kicking him "you know where." I don't know why other than the fact that I'm not a physically abusive person towards another. I'm a very physical person when it comes to my well-being mo

Somebody would have been shot since it's clear there were bu
I understand this completely. We had a scare when Brian was about 4-5. We were told he looked like he might have Leukemia. He was very sickly and we were trying to find out why. I thought I was going to pass out when the doctor told me this and then in a panic until the tests came back. It turned out he had a case of giardia parasite. There can be nothing worse than a mother watching her child suffer.

[quote]Short, sweet and to the point![/quote] haha Doc...just answering your question. A one word answer seemed fitting. My 92 year-old grandmother said something the other day that got me thinking. She's the most liberal person in my life and definitely a woman born before her time. Anyway she said that... "everyone should die by 75. That should be the cutoff." Her exact words. Spoken by a true-blue liberal.&n

[quote]The shephards were simple and humble Isrealites and something I find most interesting is that the shephards were the very first to hear the good news of Christ's birth.[/quote] and that's God's MO. He always goes to the simple and the humble. He didn't go to the mighty and the religious to spread the news. 1 Cor 1:27 comes to mind here. Later he picked some simple fishermen to carry out his work..again skipping right by the mighty righteous Pharisees.&nbs
Sheep are led. Not driven. A genuine shepherd goes ahead alert and awake to any dangers making sure the trail was safe and passable. He will never ask them to go where he won't go himself. " Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh set a man over the congregation. Which may go out before them and which may go in before them and which may lead them out and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have
Most everyone is familiar with the story of the shepherds watching over their flocks the night angels came to announce the birth of the Messiah. He would be born in a little town of Bethlehem. Shepherds. Flocks. Sheep. Lambs. Metaphors abound using these terms in scripture. Shepherding was a big part of everyday life for the Jew. Biblically speaking, the writers of scripture frequently used shepherding
I can vouch for the big red purse and the over abundance of talking but that's what makes you...you! They say your purse says alot about who you are. Some like little itty bitty purses, some huge, some colorful, some bland, some with lots of organizers, some with nothing but just a big ol' catchall compartment. Let's just say it like this..you have purse-onality! Love you lots! (LUL)
She was good woman who had incredible love for her family. She did the best she could do with the hand she was dealt, including trying to be as peaceable as could be with the cheating husband, for the sake of her children. I feel for her children right now. She was the heart of that family.
What's UD? University of Dayton? So you were traveling the same night? How much longer did it take for you? Where did you start from and were you supposed to connect in Atlanta? It took us an extra almost 8 hours to get home and considering it started in the afternoon it made for a long night. We figured it took us over 15 hours to get home thinking we could just about drive home during that time.
that's good. I think everyone has an airport story to tell. Up until that last visit in Maine last Florida and this past one, most of my flights were fairly normal. I do remember way back when we went to Montana we didn't think we'd make it safely on the ground again. We went thru a very bad lightening storm and I heard the pilot say on the headphones, I was listening to, that we should have never left the airport. That was scary because my kids wer
The last few years I've done a fair amount of traveling. These days, mostly by plane. For the most part I've run into very little trouble making my connections easily and on time. No more. It's getting harder and harder to find reasonable non-stop flights and therein lies most of the problem. Last February we ended up stuck in Maine f
Welcome back Gid. Nice to hear from you again. The past is the past (agree with Lula) and the future is as bright as you want it to be. Hope you stick around.
