Hi and welcome Bliss... have a snowcone... I've been out for (gosh) about 25 years now... one thing you'll probably find yourself doing is (when you visit churches) always comparing what they're teaching/saying to what you learned in TWI. Try not to let yourself fall into that trap... when you go to try a new church/fellowship LOOK FOR THE LOVE... let that be your guide... what they "say" may not line up exactly with what you've come to believe from TWI teachings... just look for the love, let that guide you...

do they have oxygenated root beer? is that what makes it fizz when you open it?

OK... here's two (the movie has a big star before they were big): I am not complaining, but I usually don't like my filth this clean. AND (these are not together) You're a pimp?! You look like Gandhi! I just love this movie!

Isn't Dollywood around there somewhere? We could go for a ride on the "mountains"... :D-->

so now do you post a subject with the title "Garth"???

yeah! cuz we'll be a checkin' on ya!!!

And now... finger pointing Raffy has been suspended! ...and he's added the word "knowingly" to his denial... pitty... he's always been one of the "good guys"...

OK... after doing the hedge trimming and other yardwork yesterday afternoon I'm ready to declare: "It's OFFICIALLY HOT again." ...but it's winter in the land down under? is that correct?

OK... OK... I think it's a strange little movie classic... Harold and Maude back in a bit...

...or as Johnny D so eloquently put it "I think Manny was just playing mind games with himself"... (himself!) :D-->

well... I am going out to do yard work in the Texas heat!

This was put on espn.com at 3 est:

quothe Manny: "I'm just here to play and win. I'm a gangster."... ??? that's Manny for ya! You guys gotta LOVE Francona! We want Francisco Liriano from the Twins That would make it somewhat less painful...the strikeouts to walks ratio is impressive (although it's in the minors) but the Grounders to Fly ratio is important in Arlington...

that would be funny... what do the cards need? they're sitting pretty... until they have to play their series games as "visitor"... just a little over 4 hours left... will Sori still be a stRanger? will Manny be a Met? Stay tuned...

Chas... did you ever see "Brewster McCloud"? The male principal in your movie starred in it a year or two earlier... it's a very strange (but I thought brilliant at the time) Robert Altman movie... I wonder if I would think the same now...

coolness... coolness... if able, I'd hang rock with you any day Lingoman! ...'course, I'd rather sail the seven seas!

looks like theo is trying to do something with the Mets and Marlins invoving Manny... And you guys are getting ready to call up Gabe right?

Chan Ho to San Diego for Phil Nevin... maybe we're going to use him to send him somewhere else... I don't know... he's a 1B but has played some catcher... we've got to send some cash along with Chan Ho although I don't know why, Nevin's making almost $10mil this season... I wonder if it has anything to do with Sosa's chiken S high spike slide into Barahas the other night... he hasn't played since... oh yeah... Soriano just manufactured another run by drawing a wild pick off throw to first and going to third... scored on a grounder...

that's a swell looking group there!

that's because you're a youngster chattingKathy!

...maybe an imaginary friend????

I thought you'd like that... I heard that about Manny... but he sure could fix a lot of things that are wrong with the "we only score by homer" stRangers... he's an RBI machine that hits for power and carries what? a 320 average? but we'd have to try and hide him in left field... something's going on that was not anticipated... hmmmm... we're playing Toronto tonight, Chan Ho's pitching and the place is full of Koreans... they even have some South Korean emissary there... BUT... CHAN HO IS A LAST MINUTE "SCRATCH" (without explanation).... hmmmmm

that's the whole thing mstar... he refuses to play anywhere but second... that's why Michael Young moved over to SS... EVERYBODY would love him unconditionally if he'd play the outfield but he won't... he's pretty much a butcher at second base but I still wouldn't trade him... Wasn't it last year that Manny was waived, no body would pick him up, and then he's named WS MVP??? And on the ESPN site they're calling Damon "Johnny Cub"...

Is his name pronounced the same as sponge? or does it rhyme with bong?

did you ever do that KarmicOne?
