Reply to Church Hunting in Blogging Stardock Forums

So what I get from this is that when the church you try doesn't meet your expectations, you keep looking for one that does? That surprises me. I'd think that someone as pious as you would stay at the one that treated you the most poorly in order to make it better. Hahaha...just kidding. It doesn't surprise me in the least.

Well written, buddy. And what a weird problem! I'm not much of a mechanic, but I know my way around an engine/system, and that's pretty out there. Those of us that aren't truck drivers (aka all of us) are probably curious: If something happens to your rig, does your boss/company cover it?

Reply to What Did You Play This Weekend? in Gaming Stardock Forums

Now, now, Sabrina. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, but for me, I travel a LOT, and getting out of the house is the last thing I want to do if I have free time. Life is just a video game where you're the character in it as opposed to the player playing the character. Mari and I are both homebodies, although we did go to a friend's barbecue last night. My dad was here most of the weekend (left Sunday morning) but he and my step-mom came in a motor home, so

Very zen. I'm not a Zen buddhist, but I recognize and appreciate the zen in a statement.

Reply to No, I won't hold your penis for you, but... in Marriage Stardock Forums

I just want to say - for the record - I'm an excellent shot. It's just another video game to me. Pee in toilet without hitting seat. AND...I do it with the seat down. *bow* Oh, and btw sitting down is not a physiological problem for me, and any guy that says it is is lieing. Ask him when he pees after he poops, does he wipe then stand up to do it? The answer is "no."

San Cho, I love ya man. But do you not see the hypocrisy of preaching change to fix something, and leaving here because you don't like the douche bags? Your writing is great. If you go, you make the place worse, not better. Think on it.

Haha. Wish we didn't :P My dad called yesterday to let us know he'd be in town today (should be here in a half hour or so.) Wants to park his motor home in front of the house so they don't have to rent a camp ground space. Bad timing. They'll be here all weekend, so no weekend for me :(

Reply to Weighty Matters in Blogging Stardock Forums

I never exercise. I run a military PT test twice a year and that's it. I eat whatever I want...heavy on the pizza. I never gain weight. I'm 45. So what am I doing? Do I have a tape worm? Cancer? High metabolism should be out of the picture at this age, but it doesn't seem to be. Women love me...and hate me. Good luck, KFC, but honestly, don't worry so much about it. It's way more imp

Reply to Cool Rainbow In Minnesota in Blogging Stardock Forums

Awesome. Right aftr i graduated college as musica educater, I took a full-part time gig as an assistant band director. I had graduated in December, so a full time job wouldn't be available until the new school year. The down side was, I had to drive about 200 miles a day to take this gig, but it made for a nice drive to and from work. One day, on the way home, I had to pull over. There was a PERFECT rainbow.&nbsp

Politically speaking, good ideas have no retail value, and while I don't mind if some rich dude makes it to the WH on his good ideas, I don't think that lots of money causes good ideas.

[quote who="Taara" comment="9"] Here's the problem. In fact, the Democrats and the Republicans are more center than many other parties out there. [/quote] Center, in this case, is a relative term. Center relative to what? Let me rephrase my point. A good candidate should not have to be a member of ANY party to hold office, and maybe at some lower political eschelons, they don't.

[quote who="Iceciro" reply="2" id="1898993"]The fact of the matter is that the only thing our two parties ever work together on is bills and reforms to squish third parties and anyone more centrist. Most Republicans are too far over to stupid-crazy Christian Right. Most Democrats are too far over to "socialize everything" left. I think most common people are in the middle, but there's no middle parties.[/quote] Well said. And Donna

Reply to I believe in God and evolution in Pure Technology Stardock Forums

The problem with Christian extremists is that they can't conceive of a God that creates the RULES of a universe and the potential for it to occur, and then what arises from those rules and potential in some natural way is "The Creation." It's a very narrow viewpoint. It is quite feasible that some God did exactly what I stated: Created rules and potential by which life would arise from nothing. (Probably on billions of worlds.) It wouldn't arise at

I've been reading a lot of articles on this election thing. Man, there's plenty of them. And there seem to be five types of people. 1. Liberal whackos who would vote liberal if a convicted serial killer was running on the democratic ticket. 2. Conservative whackos who would do the same exact thing in reverse. 3. People who are voting republican because they can't stand democratic ideology. 4. People who are vot

Reply to When PC terms start becoming regular terms of daily speech. in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

A few years ago, I was driving to lunch off base with a couple of my Navy buddies. We were heading back to base, and were talking about computers, and I said "I just got a new graphics card in my brain....everything looks so REAL now." And then when we got closer to the gate, I added "I've done this part. You have to have a card to get on. Here...show the guy this (handed him my military ID) and we can get to the next stage."
