Hmpppph -- I registered there, and got banned. Guess they want lily-white posts.

Ha ha ha!!!! (Did someone find a roll of duct tape, and actually apply it?) :D--> :D--> With all the love of a renewed mind in manifestation --- David. (Shell --- quote - "you is funny!"). ;)-->

JIB JAB is hilarious, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you come from! :D-->

Yes --- When Sudo posted that song "Stille", it came across loud and clear. Since I am on a Mac, the speakers work all the time, and don't have an *off and on* button! (it's integral).

Heh! I never even owned a computer until June of 2002, and didn't have internet until August of that year. Somehow, somewhere I found No Way Out. I found criminal news stories there, about folks I had known that used to be in my area, and it intrigued me. Am thinking now, that there was a link there, that led me here. I have been out since '85, or '86 -- so neither this site (nor that one) had anything to do with my leaving. However --- all the rumors I had ever heard, all the accusations made that I wondered about, all the inconsistencies, and all the stories of "rape, pillage, and plunder" were laid out in such stark detail for me here -- it left no room for doubt as to the veracity of them. I left back "whenever", because of the crap that was being bandied about, with *no solid evidence*. Finding GSCafe was the equivilant of having a gold deposit, backing up the dollar bills in my pocket. Thanks Paw, and everyone else too. You all have made me realize that I did the right thing by leaving -- without having regrets.

Is this in case you find a credible source of info about twi, and decide to leave?? :D-->

I don't hear any music either. :(--> The pictures are great though! Meebe Minny-soda will look like that in 2 or 3 months. :)-->

Saw it today at work. :D-->

Maybe he went to Washington DC for the inawwwgrration.

Ahhhhhh -- Minnesota. Where the Women are strong, the Kids above average, and the Men are next to invisible, each and every one! :D-->

Never heard of that. We have confirmation in the Lutheran church too, but they don't do the name thing. Pirate -- Confirmation in the RCC (Roman Catholic Church) is a bit different. I remember them telling me (when I was confirmed -- 7th grade? 8th grade?) --> that we were now going to be *soldiers of the Lord*. I don't remember all the details now (that's in my past too, among those things I would rather forget), but I do remember being alarmed at the *army* analogy, thinking I would have to go and fight somewhere. We were to choose a "confirmation name", and the service itself (from what I remember), was our initiation, and acceptance (officially) into the RCC, even though all of us had been baptized into the church early on. Guess the confirmation was a validation of the baptism!! :D--> My confirmation name was Daniel.

Hills Bro -- It might help if we knew what kind of business you are in. ;)-->

I once replaced the rear brake pads on my '66 VW bug. I put the tires back on, and forgot to put the lug nuts on the right rear wheel. Took it for a drive to test the brakes, and the tire came off 1/2 mile from the house. Jacked the VW up, put the tire back on, and kept on driving. Those things were indestructible! :D-->

How many beers did it take to get you to post a thread like this? ;)-->

Ttessa -- Happy Birthday!!! You are 2 1/2 years older than I! :)--> Congrats!

Kathy ----- And then there was the blonde driving in Minnesota during the winter, who pulled up behind a truck at a stop light, and ran to his driver's door and knocked on the window. The driver rolled down the window, and she said "Hi. My name is Sally, and I just wanted to let you know you are losing some stuff off of the back of your truck." The driver rolled up his window, and headed down the road. At the next red stoplight, the same thing occurred -- she ran up to his truck, and said, " Hi, my name is Sally, and your losing things off of the back of your truck." The driver rolled up his window, and raced to the next red stop light, got out, and ran back to the blonde's car, and knocked on the window. She rolled down her window, and he said, "Hi. My name is Kevin, and I'm driving a salt truck." :D--> :D-->

One more sorid chapter from the book: "What Religion Does to Folks". :(--> :(-->

1879.5 On the third try! :D-->

Rottie -- Ted Patrick was the *famous* deprogrammer who was hired by concerned families to get their loved ones out of cults. The "cultist" was lured away from the cult (for a week-end with family, etc.), and Ted would (allegedly) take them by force, and show them the *error of their ways* while holding them (allegedly) against their will for who knows how long. Seemed to me he would be instrumental dealing with MLM's as well.

Evan -- you have a good nose for wine!! :D-->

Yophoto: I went over and visited your site, and I stand behind what I said earlier about it. You are very polite, and accomodating. Thanks for doing what you need to do to your site, instead of just banning those from here that come over to ask questions. From what I saw, there were some legitimate ones. :)-->

Too cool!!!!!!!! :D--> :D--> Was it the Righteous Branch that did this dastardly deed?

Pirate -- you are right. The more (ahem, cough!) *well-lubricated* fans out in the parking lot actually do moon the departing bus. While I'm not defending Moss, he was just giving them a "back-atcha". I think that it was his walking off the field several seconds early the previous week that helped in folks willing to attribute extra blame to him. He is a cocky *********, that I would not want on my team, but in this case he was just giving the Packer fans the same fare they dish out to opposing teams as they leave Lambeau.

I still hold out hope for the IU Hoosiers. :)--> (I never really follow this stuff in detail, until play-off time).

Steve! -- a *dry* cold, eh? ;)-->
