Re: "How many old timers-----" One of the Vice Presidents, Roger M*ttl3r, is an old timer. He's been around since about 1970 or 1971. Oops, just noticed you said "field leaders". Never mind.

I am putting this link here because it sheds some light on Eyesopen's position that the subject may be too broad for a cursory examination. http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.ph...mp;#entry403975

Hi, kg Welcome to the cafe. How's about a cuppa joe?

This new law is not going to change whether or not gay couples get "married". They have already been doing that forever and a day, law or no law. It's simply going to legitimize those "marriages" in a legal sense so they can lay claim to benefits that have heretofore been reserved for court sanctioned heterosexual "marriages". In other words, it's not going to change a lifestyle that is already in existence, it's simply going to make it "official".

I love a parade.

Well, since you're throwing it up in the air------would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?

Thanks Rocky. I saw some familiar faces. I even saw someone I sponsored who's now with a splinter. Where did all the years go? :(

Amen to that, Brother!!

It's tough enough to raise a child when BOTH parents are working. How does the average single mother (sans a huge bank account and entourage of assistants) give a child the life they deserve? Now, I know quite a few who have done this out of necessity, not by choice. I salute them for a selfless dedication I'm sure I would have a tough time equaling. This woman's situation, however, differs from the typical single mother's situation in two ways. First, she has stated she has plans to marry in the near future. Secondly, she has a professional career to look forward to. (After she manages to pay off the huge educational debts she most likely has incurred.) My hat is off to single moms everywhere who, due to unfortunate circumstances, give of themselves for the betterment of their children.

Sheesh! You say 56 like it's old or something! I'll bet that once he gets back into the swing of working, the physical part will seem less and less demanding. Times are tough right now. Any work is better than no work if you have no other revenue. It sounds like wheels are turning on the other matter, too. Always good to have at least some kind of movement or the train will rust itself to the tracks.

Ketchup Schmetchup! Leave my hot sauce alone and we'll get along just fine.

I liked that one, Rottie. No stones from this side of the room.

Oh, my! No takers on this one yet? I'm tempted to give another clue. Let me give it some thought and I'll bet I can come up with a beauty. Nothing too deep, though.

---days when the rain came. Brown Eyed Girl----Van The Man That was a good one, Dooj. Instantly recognizable. Maybe you better take the next one too if you don't mind?

Hey, JeffSjo That's pretty cool!! (You might ask somebody down in the computer room for an easier way to do that than typing it all in.)

I wonder if Waldo knows where PLAF is. :blink:

Caveman I'm not familiar with that scripture that says people will go to hell. Can you direct me toward that reference?

Yes!! You are correct. It is The Weight by The Band Here it is if you want to give a listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-xQoNDFwlE&NR=1

I've been on the wrong end of a SHOTGUN! You can bet it surely scared the debuhl right out of me. (and darn near more than that. ) And, if I recall correctly, I did let out a very loud "JEEZUS!" as well.

Boy, Howdy! If that doesn't describe "The Way Method Of Problem Solving" I don't know what does. Now THAT'S mathematical exactness.

Well, you already got half the answer.

"I pulled into Nazareth-----"

I used to work for a company that gave me a bonus for NOT having health insurance.(about 1500/year) Of course, I had to prove I was covered by my spouses plan. It wasn't designed to discourage people from having coverage, it was a perk they used to reward employees who saved them money. That $1500 most likely represented what they saved on administrative costs or something. The point is, it was a real benefit that would not have been made available to me had I not been married. Two single people "shackin' up", as we used to say, or two gay people, could not take advantage of that perk based solely on a technicality. It's an isolated example, I agree, but it's still a perk that I would not have had if I weren't legally married. BTW--The only tax breaks I have seen from being married came by virtue of declaring dependent children as a deduction. Other than that, it seems like the tax rate is actually higher. I'm no tax wiz, that's for sure. That's just a casual observation.
