I guess that means it's a Madonna song, but I don't recognize it. WAG: "Like a Virgin"? George

"Acting captain's personal log, stardate 54277.3. My first day in command has been challenging, but I've loved every minute of it. I can't help feeling that this was something I was born to do." "I scanned you." "You scanned me?" "In the Jeffries tube. Your blood pressure and neurotransmitter readings indicated a state of arousal." "It was hot!" George

Okay, another version of the same clue: George

Basic rules for all the "Name That..." threads: Correct guesser gets to post the next clues. No googling to find an answer, though the puzzle poster may google for clues to give. It's usually best to wait for confirmation that you've guessed correctly, but if you're ablsolutely sure, you can go on and post a new one. If no one gets the right answer in a day or two, post some more clues. Glad to have you aboard, Twinky! Don't forgeet to check out the other games, too! George

Happy Birthday, Rick! Keepin' it real, keepin' it blue. George

Add those rules, and the country will be too drunk to worry about the war or the economy! George

Okay. Was this the NG episode where Worf has visions of Kahless, and goes to a Klingon holy place to check it out. "Kahless" does appear, but he's actually a clone, and so has no actual memories of events attributed to Kahless. George

At the risk of sounding like a "Wierwille apologist," I contend that in a very real way our live ARE molded by our believing, in the sense that what one believes determines how he will act. (Not having a "Blue Book" on hand, I'm only responding to the quotation you gave, not the whole context.) As James puts it, "Faith without works is dead." We demonstrate in our lives what we believe (our faith) by how we act (our works). So, it IS important to control our thinking to believe God's promises. Only then will we act accordingly, and see the promises come to fruition. This does NOT mean, however, that my believing controls the world around me. George

Yes you may. George

I'm not particularly good at breaking up a post into several quotes, so I'm going to interject my thoughts here in boldface. George

I suppose that if your relationship with God is ONLY "Gimme, gimme, gimme," then you have a problem. As Oldies points out, there's nothing wrong with going to your Father for something He has to give you. On the other hand, do you praise Him. love Him, glorify Him? Those ALSO have to be part of the equation. George

I don't believe that anyone ever did himself any good by getting drunk. (The Bible does allow heavy drinking as a palliative for the deathly ill, but I'm referring to the rest of us who are in reasonably good shape.) At least minimize the damage to yourself and others. Drink a lot of water, and sleep it off. (And NOT behind the wheel.) George

What's another word for "whip"? George

Don't make me come over there... George

Other than this is not an original series episode, I can't narrow it down at all. George

Yep, by Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs. Have at it! George

There's a crazy, little shack beyond the tracks George

"Day Tripper" by the Beatles? George

I forgot about this! "Fuel status says we turn back now." "Wait a minute. Fuel status? You have a reserve, don't you?" "Yes, sir. I've got a ten minute reserve... but I'm not allowed to invade that except in time of war." "My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on playmate of the month." "You're afraid of our fleet. Well, you should be. Personally, I'd give us one chance in three. More tea anyone?" George

Probably harder than anything he had ever done—their bridges were burned. They had cast themselves away from everything they had known, trusting that what they found would be better. Facing a gun in a missile room was a small matter compared with walking away from one's whole life. It was strange how easily Americans put on their freedoms. Why, you may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together- what do you get? The sum of all fears. Colleges typically did not tell you that ninety percent of your education came after you hung the parchment on the wall. People might ask for a rebate. George

You got it, Steve!-o! Caesar, Antony, and Cleopatra. George

By the way, Cynic, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! George

I'm just glad that I converted all my 401K to the money market option back in January (after taking about a 20% hit between July and December of last year). On retirement, I rolled over to an IRA. The fund manager wanted to move me to a more "aggressive" portfolio, but I said I'd wait until things even out a bit. My IRA isn't growing fast, but at least it's moving in the right direction! I have a few shares of Dow stock which are worth less than I paid, but it's not enough to be catastrophic. George

To continue the de-rail just a bit longer, I'd like to point out that, at least when I came to Texas 27 years ago, there was technically nothing that you couldn't buy on Sunday (except alcohol before noon), but that there were ALL SORTS OF items that a single store couldn't sell on consecutive Saturdays and Sundays. Most stores just opted not to sell the items on Sunday. I remember trying to buy a kitchen-size trash can and the liner bags for it, one Sunday. They would sell me the bags, but not the can! :blink: There is one item which still cannot be sold in Texas on both days of a weekend: cars! Some dealerships are open on Saturday; some on Sunday. The richer dealerships have more than one location, so that they can sell cars both days. Now back to BBQ news! George

No, Mr. Smarty Pants. Try again. George
