I Feel So Bad.....HELP
by Sunspot ini was so disappointed when i saw that my pm bin had been emptied of something that i wanted desperately to keep!
i have never paid much attention to when the pms get the axe....i am usually done replying etc within a week or two so and haven't kept track of this.. my problem is......i hade exchanged snail-mail addies with some of the posters here, and we had agreed to send christmas cards.
i didn't write the addies down---cuz i knew right where they were and thought i could retrieve them when the time came......they are gone!.

Even if the bible is not inspired, is Christianity a good thing?

however reading franz' christian freedom gives me a lot more respect for jesus teachings and christianity.
lets say that jesus was just a man.

The Grasshopper 'IN' The Shoe Box
by Golf ini came across this story and it had to do with people who yell, scream and bitch about everything in life, and they can't and don't 'do' anything about it.
this fisherman (dave)picked up a newly fisherman (paul)in his community one early morning, and on route to their destination, which was some distance, paul noticed a shoe box on the front seat.
he also heard lots of noises in the shoe box.
