I think docvic taught that too (it sounds familiar), but I don't remember if it was part of the AC or not.

The Road North ( my trip back to Minney-soda, from Indiana) 5:50 AM -- wake up call. Hit the snooze button, only to be interrupted from semi-sleep 10 minutes later, and decide to get up. 6:30 AM -- car is already packed, a 1/ 2 gallon thermos of coffee ready (half a pot of coffee already drunk) -- with the rest put into insulated coffee mugs secured liberally around the driver’s seat within easy reach. Time to roll. The first 55 miles are all two lane highway (yuck!), but not so bad at this early AM hour. I did have to pass one old guy on his tractor at Cory, Indiana. Looked in my rear view, and he pulled off to the coffee-shop parking lot I just passed. Why is he driving a tractor, and not a car????? I reach Terre Haute, Indiana (my birthplace), and decide that I have to *use the facilities*. Am back on the road within 5 minutes. Despite the two-lane road, I made it in good time, justifying the stop. I have a 500 mile thermos, but a 200 mile bladder. Somehow I forgot about the coffee drunk at home, while packing the car. :( From Terre Haute north, it is a four lane divided highway (65 mph) for 50 miles or so.. Everyone else was going 75 mph to 80. Who was I to argue?? I went with what flow of traffic there was, and set the standard at times myself. :D Made it to Interstate 74 west, and once on the *big road*, I was able to finally put the *hammer down*. Danville, Illinois -- then Champaign/ Urbana, then Bloomington/ Normal all came and went, and then I heard on the CB (once I was on I-39 north) --- “Cops playing around Paw Paw -- one in the middle, and two chasing cars. Grrrrrr!!! Paw Paw is south of Rockford, Illinois, and the state troopers had one in the median clocking peoples speed, and 2 other cars up ahead to pull those folks over. I heard that, and backed off (just in time) to see one of the chase cars pull some poor soul over. Half a mile down the road -- I see the other one waiting, and they got someone else instead of me. I breezed by at a safe, sane 65 per - escaping the wrath of Illinois!! I-39 will load you off to the Wisconsin Tollway, and when I got there, traffic was backed up for a coupla miles. Partly because they were doing construction, and mostly because some joker tried to take a mobile home through the turnstiles, and it didn’t fit!! Once through the tollway, speeds of 90+ mph were not uncommon, and I began to smile. Cruising past Madison, Wisconsin (home of more activists than you can shake a stick at), I saw 3 cars (one was a neon green Geo), with the folks driving dressed in deer outfits, and a *strawman* in blaze orange strapped to the top of their car.. It is deer hunting season up here, and they were protesting by putting the *hunter* on top of the car, and protecting *animal rights*, whereas most hunters put the deer they have shot up there, and take them home for meat for the winter. I figured it was in bad taste, since there was a tradgedy up here in the same area, last year, where a Hmoung (sp?) hunter hunted humans, and 6 folks lost their lives as a result. I gave a one fingured salute, and kept on driving. There were a coupla spots on the highway that lent itself to driving at will --and I did. Even at 90 to 100 mph, my subaru still got close to 30 mpg. :D I made it home in record time. 10.5 hours for 750 miles The road North ------------------- :) :) :)

As you've said before Ron, "fuggem". Guess they don't have enough business of their own, so they have to stick their nose in other people's business. Next thing ya know, they'll be bitchin about killing innocent plants for food. :unsure: (ps -- ask em if they ever slapped at a mosquito)

I took it slow and easy. Was in Indiana visiting the folks all week. Started out Black Friday by going to my dad's barber shop to get a quick trim, then hung out for an hour or so talking politics, religion, and country music with the regulars. I love it when I find like minded folks. :D Then spent the rest of the day driving through Brown county soaking in the scenery, trying to get lost on the country roads (almost succeeding!!), and wondering why the heck I ever left. Beautiful scenery down there and (as someone once said): "From the top of these hills, you can see clear into tomorrow." I made it a point to stay away from town, and the malls. :)

Salmon dinner, Chef, salmon dinner (sans poison)! :D (that is if Jonny Lingo ever sends it to you!) :P Let's see if CG can "eat the fish, and spit out the bones". :dance:

Truer words were never spoken. Right on Digi! B) Short of silencing *re-turnees* who know too much with duct tape, the only other way twi could continue to protect their *reputation* would be to refuse re-admittance. What a shame, eh? :(

ps. --- we have two seasons in Minney-soda as well. Winter, and road repair. :huh:

Coolchef --- keep asking, and you'll wear JL down before too long!! :D :P :D

:lol:

I had heard that he moved stateside too, Jardinera. Maine, eh?? Maybe coolchef could whip up something special for CG. :lol:

Oh yea -- I forgot there was a third one past craigger's. :huh:

Ahhh --- sounds like the way things should be. :)

Moony -- are you speaking for Ted too??

Today should be re-named *survival of the fittest day*. :(

Get Over it The Eagles (From the album Hell Freezes Over (1994) (excerpts........) I turn on the tube and what do I see A whole lotta people cryin' 'Don't blame me' They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, victim of that Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat ------------------------------------------------------------- You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash But you might feel better if I gave you some cash The more I think about it, Old Billy was right Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't want to work, you want to live like a king But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing Get over it Get over it If you don't want to play, then you might as well split Get over it, Get over it Haven't thought of that song in years!! B)

Well shucks -- I don't watch movies. guess I can't play, eh? Meebe I could fill in some quotes from Mike??? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lessee here -------------- I'm still waiting for the OLG's to put their pants on my table of challenge. Lots of folks remember TVT, and NOT what was written in power for abundant pants. Vpw's last lost teaching -- *The Joy of Pants*. When Christ returns, He will be teaching from the pants book.

I thought she spanked him!! :dance:

THE MAN OF GOD (according to what I recall docvic teach), was the one to whom God spoke, and then they imparted God's wisdom to the masses. So is it relevant for today?? Nope. Seems to me (these days) to merely be a ploy to gain power, money, etc., that would otherwise elude the mogfot wanna-be. :D Sure -- I agree it was relevant for OT times, but after the day of Pentecost??? Huh-uh. Elders, teachers, deacons, etc. --- yes. Mogfot --- no

We are just humans, yes, but it is ridiculous to follow one who capitalizes on his humanity in order to *make mistakes* and get off scot free. Docvic did the same thing by refusing to fess up to the truth openly. Twi does the same thing by refusing to tell the truth also. Habitual lying does not get excused by saying "Nobody is perfect". And habitual liars should be marked and avoided --- not followed.

Thanks Oak!! :)

Happy birthday Ron! Here's hopin it's a good un. :) David

Happy Birthday Paw!! Here's hoping it's a good one! B) :) B) Thank you for all you do for us. (we are not worthy, we are not worthy...!!) David

This is what I remember of pfal as well. Wasn't it in session 5 (or something) that the student became *born again* if they weren't already?? And then the *manifestation* wasn't until session 12 a couple of weeks later. Sit was all about being more powerful spiritually rather than being the key to salvation. Of course -- I haven't got a clue what craiggers taught in his version. For all I know he could have taught what the acm group is saying.

So --- if Ron's birthday is November 27th, how can it be belated today?? :lol:
