Adventures with My Dad
by Yerusalyim into robyn, thunder, and copsec, i owe an apology.. i had come to the midwest with plans of meeting each of you...instead my father and i continued building a relationship we never had when i was a kid.. i came home to help my dad with a project around the house...taking up a cement sidewalk.
that took all of one day...since then i've been my dad's running buddy...he looks for me in the morning to find me...we hang out pretty much all day (he's retired, but is a city council man).
we even did some work on a habitat for humanity house together.

Witness Gathering
by Descender inwell, i went to my first witness gathering i'd been to in probably 7 years this last weekend.
i know, who goes to a witness gathering when they haven't even gone to the hall in 2 years?
well, it was a wedding shower type thing for one of my close family members and i was asked, so i decided since i had nothing better to do, it would be a fun look at the other side, and i wanted to know if i was past all that witness lingo and guilt.. i really didn't know very many people at all there, but i do have to say, i'm past it.

by metatron inhttp://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp1=story&cid=624&ncid=753&e=2&u=/ap/20040412/ap_on_sc/geriatric_mouse.
if that doesn't work , go to yahoo news, science, and look for the story.. anyhow, a mouse named yoda just turned the equivalent of 136 in human years, after some genetic modification.. .
this ain't just science fiction anymore.

AP Story on TV ads and kids
by Phantom Stranger inwashington - advertising aimed at young children should be restricted because youngsters cannot evaluate it properly, the american psychological association said monday.
children under age 8 tend to assume advertising is truthful and unbiased, the group said in a report that blamed youth obesity on eating habits spurred by advertising.
the report "shows young children are uniquely vulnerable to commercial persuasion," said study co-author dale kunkel.

Apostate Daily (ha!) Text, 10/12/03
by GentlyFeral in...we have invented the technology to eliminate scarcity, but we are deliberately throwing it away to benefit those who profit from scarcity.
we now have the means to duplicate any kind of information that can be compactly represented in digital media.
we can replicate it worldwide, to billions of people, for very low costs, affordable by individuals.
