WB Ron glad to see yer ugly mug!!

I'll pursue this slowly as I'm committed to several other projects that are fairly sizable and involve many steps and people. I'm thinking too that maybe the school is enough, maybe after that all I'll want to do is count cows n such.

Now I am gonna offer a bit of advice, (fancy that) Yer daughter COULD have a chat with a more moderate christian of the teasing group and ask a little about Gods plan for the sinner and a Christians responsability in carrying that out. I'd guess, if she sorta led the conversation she could get the person talking about how great Gods love is and how it is for everybody n how it's his/her/its resonsability to carry the message to others and show 'em God's love. In which case...she's got 'em where she want's em ;)--> and just needs to move in for the closing arguement

I'm pretty sure there is a difference between a teenagers group behavior and what he or she (or it) really thinks. Most groups have Alpha n Beta leaders who are usually the ones dictating (to an extent) group thought the rest just go along with it. I'm right there with your kids as they leave home and go to college and believe me I've seen hardened attitudes towards alot of things change as they become exposed to new ideas and learn abit of their own humanity and weaknessess. In terms of the religious right, well I went to a pretty fundamentalist church for a few years and found them to have the same sins as everybody else. This particular church however was having a difficult time admitting it... I think, what it boils down to, is we are afraid of what we see in the mirror.

Geo I'm taking statistics this semester which brought into the equation probabilities :D--> Roll the dice once two possible answers, yes/no yes move on no reroll MUHAHAHAHA

and I guess. overall, that's what it boils down to what have i got to lose vrs what have I got to gain If I stayed with twi I'd be somewhere else doing god knows what for a ministry that at least twice lied to me I had a choice once between the comfort of a golf course and mayorship and integrity I chose integrity

In terms of losing...I figure, if I fall on my face, I'll pack my belongings, woodstove n storage foods into my truck n toodle off to that 7500 acre tribal property overlooking the ocean n gather my thoughts :)--> or show up on yer door with circular saw in hand asking which job needs to be done next ;)-->

No poop Geo wayworld was at a minimum unreal and oftentimes uncomfortable, I prefer integrity and tangable results :)--> and sides it's much easier to change a no to a yes than a yes to a no

All three Biologists are well credentialed, papers, symposiums, books and textbooks and are conducting local research. The planner wears a steel ring and has 25 yrs experience in the Canadian way of doing things. The law firm is getting up to speed on TDR's and related issues and the county is trying to bring back an expert in that field. The Ag experts only need to be asked and I have been told I have the support of the psych, bio, chemisty, government, history, math, and eco depts at the college. Hmmmmm I've been asked to facilitate a distribution center and commercial kitchen for the marketing network which btw is working with Alabama's economically disadvantaged black belt farmers in developing profitable markets for their goods...AND to bridge a gap between enviros and the local government regarding a proposed city grown from woods, essentially the next biggest city (eventually) to Atlanta, perhaps a good thing perhaps not. I like the word no but I like the word yes when it is coupled with common sense :)-->

Ahh yes the insurances, could be quite hefty... Thanks Geo

No problem Mark thanks for the info. I've been a business owner for 20 yrs and involved with several other business, one who used Deductions R Us for his tax preparers My thoughts are that this group should have an accountant type on board as in some cases we would be developing future earning estimates based on a properties renewable natural resources or potential recreation or development income. Factors the landowner would need to know in order to make an informed decision (fancy that full disclosure ) I'll be discussing school development funding next week and have decided to request sufficient funds for a part time staff person. I'll also be talking with GO about a few of their more pressing projects and funding to get them done. There is alot going on but if these projects can be layered then they may all fit, hopefully...

Once the police arrived at the school they become the primary authority which means they were/are responsible for what happened next. I'd guess someone called 911 and said we have an out of control child hitting a teacher and 911 dispatched the police. I don't know the details but it would surprise me if they didn't dispatch paramedics next.

Thanks Guys :)--> Cost of benefits would include health and life life insurance and retirement? Most of these guys already serve as consultants to various governmental bodies in some form or fashion, there is also a sublayer of associates that do not. Apparantly this school thing sorta got everybodies attention :D--> The who's so far MAY consist of an attorneys office who specializes in sustainable development, several biologists specializing in various natural resource areas, the aforementioned planner as well as statewide and regional access to lots and lots of experts.

Several reasonably sane folks have suggested starting an environmental consultation business. Since one is a planner with 25 yrs experience, another an ag professional and yet another is a University research Dr type I'm guessing this idea has merit. I've never done something like this before (not that THAT has ever stopped me) but seeings how I am designing an ag school and never done that before either, the idea intrigues me :)--> I'm hoping a few of you who've worked as consultants or set up a consultancy could enlighten me on this for I am once again stepping out into the void :D--> The school (for those interested) will be a part of our local technical college. We are looking at 300 acres and have been offered sufficient funds to develop the property into a teaching farm.

Strange looking crickets with REALLY long jumping parts n antennea. You'll prolly run into them crawling under the house (right next to the black widow's on aisle eight) or for a fleeting moment in the basement as they use your face for a springboard. Cross a shrimp and a cricket n thats what one looks like Hahaha

Psalmie, down here we don't call a half dozen trees woods, we call them firewood :D--> Just wait till you try washing our georgia red clay out of them boys/s clothes Oh and did I mention mole crickets? --> Welcome to Georgia dahling

A big sheet of fly paper kept mine entertained and out from underfoot fer hours, a bit of kerosene makes unsticking them easier :D-->

Near Fame but not Famous: A test/race driver for Ford or was it GM? The daughters of a guy that ran fer Lt Guv of a Southern state And some grad gal who hooked up with a psycho n got embroiled in some sort of crime worthy enough of putting her picture on the cover of a true crime novel.

No Penis? Poor Charlie ROFLMAO!! Glad it went well :)-->

Dove where do I sign? I think it's a sad state of affairs when the President of the US gets involved with a persons choice...

I'm not sure DM, something about a tall elegant Italian Bus Company I think ;)-->

Black Russian Terrier Observant Loyal Big Teeth :D-->

See ya Terri I hate it that your life and death turned into a media circus I pray you and yours find peace

While I mourn for his loss and appreciate the many significant strides he made, not only for the Catholic Church but for mankind as well, I have to temper that with firsthand knowledge of the cruel history his sect represents. Karol Joseph , you had a good run and I believe you have a place in God's heart

Or you could keep poking holes in the wall till you found one
