I missed this game. Who won??

ROFL!!! Can someone say OCD here??

John -- Thank you for that. I had forgotten that it was our integrity that gave them credence. David

Heard of him. Never did see any of his stuff though. I prefer fiddling to film. :)

I logged off, to prove my independance. I logged back on, to see what I had to say!!

Ok -- since you asked for it ---

AMEN!!

;)

Yep that I am, and yes there are. :(

Yep -- you need to be logged in. I kinda miss the old days when you could just pick a name, and get in. Oh well.

The names are already picked????

Good point, Linda. Some of my relatives on my Dad's side of the family (who live in the DuQuoin/ Carbondale area of southern Illinois) have a cabin on a lake there, that used to be a strip pit. My uncle worked for one of the mining companies there, and he bought the land around one of those abandoned pits, and took an old foreman's cabin they were going to tear down, and moved it to his property. The place was a *scar* on the landscape, but as the pit started to fill with water, trees grew on the hills, and bit by bit it *filled out*. It was pretty ugly for many years, but nature took it's course, and it is now quite beautiful there with all the trees, waterways, etc. Granted it took 20 (or so years) for this to occur, but happen it did -- no thanks to the mining company that left it for *blacker* fields. :)

Sounds better than Dovetuckett!!!

Me too!!!

Happy birthday Tom!!! http://www.123greetings.com/birthday/birth...ishes/star.html

Hey there JJ. Naw -- I'm not ticked off. I apologize if it came off that way. And I would NEVER suggest that folks *shut up and quit talking about stuff like this". I find the back and forth banter very invigorating too, and far from pointless. I guess what I DID mean was simply that I don't care (to a certain extent) what others think, even though I care about them. I'll use Geo and Mark as examples (sorry guys!) ;) I was raised Catholic, but do not care for the doctrine or traditions of it anymore. Mark does and is VERY knowledgable about many facets of the denomination that I never knew of. While I don't care for Catholicism, I highly respect his views and comments about it. Geo comes from the opposite end of the spectrum, saying there is little (if anything) good about God, or the pursuit thereof. Again -- I disagree with this most wholeheartedly, but Geo is a great guy and is really quite kind and compassionate behind the *cynical/ sarcastic* veneer he hides behind here in his posts. I get the feeling from time to time that others see my posts as a personal attack, when they are not. So my statement of *I don't care what others think* was more of a disclaimer (if you will) to say that while I don't care so much about other avenues of thought, though I do care about the people behind those avenues of thought. I am always willing to afford the *other side* their POV, and would never seek to squash it. :) Oh -- (ps) --- whenever you see a smiley like this -----> :) at the end of my posts, you can safely assume I am not ticked off at all, just offering my POV. Now if you saw one of these ------> then you could say I might be ticked off. :) Again -- sorry if I came off sounding angry or judgemental. That was not my intention. David

Thanks, and good luck!! :) David

Yea -- me too. I actually made GSCafe my *home-page*, so that when I log on, I can get right to the *action* I care about! :) God bless us GreaseSpotters -- each and every one. ;)

Ya know --- I might have already replied to this -- but here is an update. I really don't care what others think. Sorry --- but I don't. What works for me, works for me. And by the same token -- I am also willing to say, Whatever works for you, works for you. God bless -- have at it, just like I'm gonna do. :)
