well OK then! thanks! (you saved me hours!) I'll probably see it then!

well def... I'd agree that all of us are capable of "evil"... I don't know about "atrocities" though...

Good tactic MasterP! Dis-invoke Godwin first! I agree with what Galen says about other cultures, but these "humans" (and I use that term loosely) were from here... sick and twisted. They deserve the same treatment.

TWI has a Bible? Yeah... these folks don't have much of it right. Maybe their comparisons are based on what the sect "practices" as opposed to what they preach? Some of it could be right if taken in that light. TWI does make it's standard of fellowship "works" and Mike does think that PFAL replaces the Bible.

Man Steve L... I've gotta get a dictionary before I know what you said... I think you said you liked it and it was pretty good... Will I like it if I liked "Pirates of the Carribean" or "Count of Monte Cristo" or "Braveheart"?

I have lost a parent. I think a lot of us have (at our age) and those who haven't should consider themselves fortunat. I have never taken offense to HoppingLindy's "signature". I have always taken it for what it not only appears to be but actually what it is, a play on "who's your daddy"... I'm glad he hasn't changed it... it's not meant to offend and shouldn't... (what's today's secret word?)

what Shaz said! :D--> thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts out there DancingShaz! Hope all is going well with the move.

Here's the review that was in the paper:

For me, Socks, ALL of them did... I've been a big fan for a long time... (there were a lot of OLD people there... oh wait, that was me, too!)... 'America' has always been my favorite one. They did a real strong job on that... and when the Lesley (sp) kicked in I got chills... The Boxer, Mrs Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Scarborough Faire... all of them... but also 'El Condor y Passa' (or whatever the heck it's called)... and a few lesser known (if there is such a thing) songs where Art did solos and Paul just stayed back playing. They both showed (and spoke) a lot of respect for each other and for the audience. They did 'Slip Slidin Away' and Paul introduced it as "here's a song not recorded by S&G, although it should have been)...

It was a great show. The tickets cost both arms and one leg, but were worth it. To me, it was as important as seeing the Beatles (something I didn't get to do). I am in awe of Paul Simon's talent musically as well as lyrically. The volume of his work is Amazing to say the least. It was tight and well presented. Both of their voices sounded a little "tired" at times (that's to be expected I guess since they're 62) but were still not that bad. Most of the time they sounded just fine- amazing harmonies... and when they needed it their voices were just as strong and vibrant as in their youth. The only disappointing thing was that it was only about two hours (including the Everly Brothers bit). It was also nice that Edie Brickell and their kids were there as well. She didn't perform, but was there talking with friends. I wonder if they came to any other shows or if they came to this one because the kids got to visit the grandparents (she's from Dallas). It was only the third concert my wife had ever been to (she grew up a 'sheltered' JW) and she was just awestruck and blown away. Of course, as I've kind of said above, I was too! Like the others who have been to the show have said... GO IF YOU CAN! It's worth the money.

Searcher, why don't you change the title to "Ex-Way Groups" or something like that? (just a suggestion) That way other folks may be able to tell you some of the things you wish to find out also (Bullinger). When folks see a "handle" as a title of a thread topic they usually don't look in because it's usually just someone telling someone else to check their PTs. (then there are folks like me who click on everything) :D--> I'd help if I could, but I really don't have any experience with them.

well RasCathy, I still want to "be a better human" and want to know what she has to help me with... that's why I want to know if she has a green card for me...! :D-->

awww Geo... well, you are CREEPING up on another anniversary of your arrival on this planet... I can see where you'd be pensive about that...

Why sure... no problemo! (but I'm really not getting worked up defending anyone... really)

...except for the four letter words...

Even though they may upgrade the cable to 3mbps will it still be effected by how many people are on line with that provider? My speed has been in the 1900 range, down to the 1100's and over 2200... depending on the time of day... (I have comcast cable through a Lynksis wireless router on "B")

duvy, I don't know how (I'm sure someone else will though)... but my experience with "smiley sites" is that they put stuff on your computer... just a thought to be careful...

niKa, I would've brought the refreshments but I thought the meeting was tonight! Last night I forsook the fellowship of the saints for the fellowship of Simon and Garfunkel... (it was great BTW) ...but you know, I've never understood how old clothes can help prevent blindness... do they take the old socks and shirts and cover their eyes with them so they won't get hurt when poked there? I'll be there tonight with Zingers and RC Colas!

Tonight. Me and the wife. Twelfth Row. :D--> :D--> :D--> :D--> :D-->

Ana... if it's all not as it should be... or could be... do you have a green card I might sign??? :D--> (do they still use green cards?)

Ala... you've got it all wrong! socks is saying it isn't silly... it's Amazing doncha know!

That's what I was wondering Zix... they haven't put anything out on CD have they? (Books, I mean)

would a copy of "School of the Prophets" bring much?

well... we do know where Johnny Socks is! He's out there in cali-forn-eye-A! niKa, should I send my puppets in training up to visit with yours?

Psalmie... have a nice vacation! and please don't bomb anyone while you're up there!
