Congrats!!

Just watching that wore me out!!! I'm exhausted!

(But it's still Pizza --- right???)

Thomas Loy Bumgarner would be "Sleezy Chucklechunks". ;)

The hills are s-l-o-w-l-y greening here too. Yesterday -- the high temp was 35 degrees, and there was snow mixed with the rain. :(

Pizza (to be understood correctly) must be *rightly divided*. This understanding is in the slice; in the context of the whole pie; where it has been eaten before; and to whom the pizza was delivered. It hath been said ~~~~~ Man shall not live by bread alone, but also by the rightly divided Pizza of God; and it hath been said also (Bullinger) ~~~~~ By their FRUIT ye shall know them. By *working the pizza* (in it's slice, the whole pie, where it has been eaten before, and to whom it has been delivered), one will come back to the one true Pizza of God, and realize that Pizza of God (plus) Fruit (equals) Pineapple Pizza.

UH-OH!!!!!

Belle -- thank you. That *example* was the whole point of the post here. I only mentioned the seminar to give the story some context. He did NOT teach that men were weird, NOR did he teach that women were strange, but WHAT HE DID teach on was that men are wired differently than women and vice versa, and how to overcome that *cultural barrier* and learn how to EFFECTIVELY understand what the other is going through/ thinking,/ and feeling when a situation comes up between a man and a woman. Perhaps the title of the seminar was his attempt at giving his talk a humorous approach, because everything he said was very informative and IN NO WAY denigrating to either men or women.

There's a smoking section???

If you have never gone scuba diving -- you don't know what you're missing!

That was the title of a seminar I went to today (yea -- work related!), given by a Psychologist/ Humorist named Bruce Christopher. It was really interesting as he talked about the diferences between men's *language*, and women's *language* and how to communicate with the opposite sex effectively --- once you know what they are *REALLY* saying! If you ever get to hear this guy -- do so. He's both hilarious as well as informative --- (something we don't often see in the seminars we go to). :( Anyhoo -- after talking about how men are *uni-taskers* (able to do only one thing at a time), and how women are *multi-taskers* (accomplishing many things all at once) --- He asked if anyone had a story to share, that might illustrate his point. One woman IMMEDIATELY stood up, and this was her story ~~~~ (remember --- we're talking *uni-tasking* vs. *multi-tasking* here). ;) I rarely get a chance to go out with the girls. I've got a toddler at home, and my husband works odd hours. I was invited to a *girl's night out* one Friday, and it so happened that he was going to be off that night, so I FINALLY got a chance to relax with a night out on the town with my friends. So when that rare Friday night outing finally arrived, he promised to babysit, and told me to have a good time. I went out and had a great time, catching up on a lot of things and had a lot of fun. Then I went home, and the toddler was still up, and hubby met me at the door with her saying: "Tell Mommy what you did". What had happened was -- she had taken a black, indelible magic marker, and drawn pictures all over my white wooden cupboards!!!!! I said -- "Well where in the H*** were you???!!??? He said "Watching TV." I said -- "What??????????????? YOU were watching TV when she was doing this?" He said -"Well it was good show". I told him ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU CAN ONLY WATCH ONE THING AT A TIME WATCH THE ONE WHO WALKS!!!!! After we all picked ourselves up from the floor from laughing so hard, she got a solid minute of applause and cheers. Thought y'all might enjoy that.

Winning in both track, aaaand art! (What's next???)

LOOK OUT!!!

Right on, Roy!

Hey there Ex 70's. Our local store closed down about 3 months ago as well. Sadly -- it had turned into more of a *christian gift shop* -- with pics of Jesus knocking on the UN building (that sort of thing), so I never was in there very much. They used to be a bookstore, and occasionally I found something there that was of interest. But that was years ago. I never did hear the reason why they decided to close shop.

Well said, WhiteDove. And very fitting.

Ha!

..... and the way it's set up, it looks like you're giving docvic the credit for Eph 6:16. <_<

They are on. Fer some reason Firefox wouldn't play it, but IE did. Hmmm. Good Stuff --- WhiteDove!!!

But it's soooooooooo important to place that steak JUST RIGHT!

Twi has the *manpower* to do that???
