Wish I'd seen:
Had tickets to see the Stones with Van Halen as opening act (their first tour) in N.O. LA. 1978. My car got wrecked so couldn't make it. No one wanted to buy the tickets either. ;(
others: too many to list!
the "what if" thing comes to mind... no matter how much i strongly believe that they are not, what if armageddon happened tomorrow and they were correct?
would you have any sorrow for being wrong???.
i, personally would not.
I used to say to myself that if god was going to start killing people off, and of course that would include knocking off the churches - that if he exercises justice at all, he'd have to off the WT first! That would be for their long standing record of outstanding presumptuousness <what?> and hypocriticalness <what?>
If god backs them and their dealings with people, then I can't see how he deserves worship.

ok, i took some liberties using john masefields famous book title.
generally, the uk is a coldish to temperate sort of climate.
air conditioning is comparitively rare simply because there's not usually much need for it.
You Englishters!! It's mild here in Tx these days - 102 right now according to the weather channel.
Hottest I've ever seen was Needles Calif. working in construction - one day it hit 127. We would often go play golf when it was in the 115-120 range. Makes me think of the saying; "I know Hell is hot, but how's the humidity?"
ok so i braved the traffic in london all along the south circular to nw london to get to twickenham convention today.
i must admit to getting a bit freaked when the traffic ground to a halt in central london, but eventually got to the stadium.
well i only got to the sunday pm part of the programme, for the public discourse, "who are giving god glory today"....handled by a very able speaker.
Don't really have anything to add to the conversation - just wanted to break up the cartoon avatar theme I see developing here :)
Scooby - nothing wrong at all in stating what you observe imo.
i find myself finally becoming accustomed to the fact that i am single again.
i am no longer thinking in couple terms and i now cook to please only me.
it's fun and scary all at the same time.
single and semi sorta looking but not expecting to find:
someone that makes more money than I do (whew! that should be easy)
someone that likes noise - i happen to like drumming and guitars and sawing things to bits - but I'm willing to cut back on my noise output for the right person - oh hell, for ANY person
someone with a sense of humor and just a modicum of common sense
someone that is kind of a homebody and actually likes doing things around the house
someone that cooks (and can teach me)
someone that likes my eyes
someone (yeah, I know. Get real)
So, by my count I'm looking for seven someones. I didn't know I was Mormon.
ass(mule) worshipping hebrews (highlighting mine).

Cain't we all just git along? <frowny face go here>
Maybe if we were all just peoplists rather than feminists or himinists?
btw, this isn't directed at the feminists [percieved or otherwise] around here. <winky face go here>
i think it's time bethel got a new sign out front, one that really speaks volumes and is far more suitable to their "read god's word the bible daily.
i was thinking: .
oh what a web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!
i just discovered lady lee's website and it is full of great reading... in particular, i totally enjoyed her poetry section.
i only wish that eveyone one of us was taught spiritualilty the way that i was taught poetry.
i was taught to read it from 2 or 3 perspectives... read it to discover something about the author, read it to discover something about yourself, then read through it and feel the essence that surrounds you.
well I ain't a poet and I don't care who knows it
but I I have to say, I liked that one very much gambit.
I wonder if it's because one of my most vivid memories of childhood (5 yrs) was standing in the front yard on a bright & sunny Calif. spring day and this white butterfly was flying all around me. That's a memory that I'll always have because it's sort of recreated every spring
