Why you must have me confused with someone else.... I said "Rats!" not houseparty...

Mike, I just thought you might want to venture 'outside the house'... that's all.

You're right Mike... it hasn't happened to me... and I'm pretty sure that's because I know how to behave and discuss things with folks. It's as much about how one projects or portrays oneself as it is anything...

well... you did answer! :) bee rave art wasp party houseparty I just can't get these...

Well... Kettle, meet Mr. Pot... Pot, meet Mr. Kettle...

Mike said: Mike... I'm not "Miss Manners' Hall Monitor"... I mentioned the statement above because you had said that you had been pretty much "confined" to this thread... I'm merely pointing out a way to get back out on the other threads without getting red-flagged... that's all... and I'm pretty sure that you are already aware of it but on the off chance that you weren't, thought I'd mention it... so... if you want to keep on being confined to this thread and this space, so be it... just don't blame anyone else but yourself for that... and don't complain about it... you've made your bed, I was just trying to point out that you could choose to make it a different way... without being mean, rude, tough, condescending or offensive.

That must've come along after I left...

Where is the "problem" with communication here? I spent a great deal of time trying to communicate with you about this threorem: THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR POSTING IS NOT IN YOUR MESSAGE BUT IN YOUR METHOD. Yet you choose to only address my compliment to you as a chide. Your interaction with others is what gets you in trouble. You don't play well with others... or should I amend it to 'you haven't played well with others in the past'? You've relayed the story of how you were "attacked" and "beset upon" from prior to your even posting here... but you know what? You've got to put that behind you OR AT THE VERY LEAST only deal with those folks on that level if you can't put it behind you... otherwise you'll continue to have "problems" here at GSC... but if that's what you want, I can't stop you. Mike... would you also be able to provide the quote where he said "PFAL is the Word of God" or "PFAL is God's Word re-issued"...? Could you post and reference that quote as well please?

ahem... Wasway??? ...are you around anywhere? It's your turn...

I get so confused... must be the Spaten!

Sign language my good man... that and "properties"....

That name will go along nicely with "the fighting Showalters" we have... Don't know about Clemens... they'd sign him in a second if he would, Hicks took him to the Rose Bowl, he's been at spring training, he's taking him to The Masters, etc... It's up to Roger and I fear he's just going to play us again like he always has... and then hook up with the Astros (and his son) this summer... BUT we are excited about our team... not really excited about being in the AL West... but excited about our team...

yeah... I just thought of it and came back here to post... (really) ...how could I forget Apostle? oh well... if they have one for CRS I'd get that!

It was supposed to signify "one with a gift ministry"... evangelist, pastor, teacher, prophet and... dangit! can't remember the fifth... according to TWI.

Good story Galen. Did it ever occur to you that maybe you were??? :)

nah... I really hadn't figured it out... George gets it... again!!! Rats! (and that's not the name of a movie)

George! I gave you a clue to the "star"...

chattingkathy... Indiana Jones and the... Hunt for Red October... Untouchables

but chef! that was so you'd have a commitment to the class...

blade girl down pickle blade singer hands pickle blade singer sad jar once again... I don't know... :(

How many votes do we get Mark?

Gosh... these are all good links... Just think how much easier life would be for Geer and the ites would be if they could only avail themselves...

What's up with your BoSox Starman? Are they entering the Golden Gloves this year? I know it's only spring training but a 12-11 final score kind of indicates they need to be worried more about their pitching than posturing! Is Schilling going to be ready for opening day?

OM, what you say may be a valid point but this practice IS USED by TWI as a means of defense either to distract the 'issue' away from them and onto others or to minimize their 'apparent' problems... you know that, I know that, we all know that...

Again... IF all of your posts were along the lines of how you just answered T-Bone I'm thinking that you wouldn't have any problems at GSC at all. You politely disagreed and stated your opinions. That's how it's supposed to work...
