1. and 2. I come and stay here because it's a place where I can share TWI experiences with others who have been there. It's interesting to see the WIDE range of TWI experiences, though. I also feel that I've made a lot of new friends here, even if I haven't seen their faces! 3. I'd leave if I felt I wasn't wanted. Or if I had to give Paw >10% of my income. 4. I read threads that look interesting and post when I think I have something to add. 5. I mostly post in the "game room" (Gallery and Reading Room). Boy, talk about people coming and going! Though there are a few diehards, a lot of people post once or twice and then disappear. 6. It's easier to post the areas I DO look at. About the Way, Open, the Prayer Room, and the Reading Room. I occasionally look at Doctrinal, Politics, Keep Your Eye on the Ball, State, and Friend Tracker. 7. Only Chevelles.com, which really isn't a forum site. I just miss my old '67. 8. Not really. Only if I'm away from a computer for a while. 9. No. I probably come more than in the beginning, since I now "know" so many folks. 10. Pretty good questions. George

I don't know if this had anything to do with my offer to SIT for you. That assumed that you would have told me you had a problem but wouldn't reveal its nature. Not much point in praying in the understanding, when you have no understanding of the problem! :) George

I watched a little of the Alamo Bowl. (Texas A&M is a local favorite.) The only one I really care about is the Rose Bowl. It would be nice to see Illinois actually win a big bowl game. George

Ayyyy! It must be "Happy Days." Students in a pre-1959 class. Ralph Malph's catch phrase (after he's told a silly joke) I'm guessing that that's "Arnold's" (Pat Morita) "real" name on the show. George

"O-bla-di, O-bla-da" (or however it's spelled). There's a man who leads a life of danger George

Yes. Babylon 5. You're up, Tom. George

Yep! George

I only know a dozen or so GS'ers in person, but there are several others I "know" well enough from the site that I would ask them to pray with me. And your assumption is correct. ;) George

The street was deserted late Friday night We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light I said, "You're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine Let's come off the line now, at Sunset and Vine." George

Well, you could PM someone here that you trust. Or you could post a less specific request in the Prayer Room forum. I don't mind speaking in tongues for you and letting God figure it out. :) George

My dad was a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus. If there was any weird ritualism associated with it, he certainly kept it secret from me. Other than the occasional duty of escorting the Cardinal, it really seemed to be about poker with the guys. I do remember one touching thing, though: at my dad's wake, an honor guard of two Knights stood by his casket, with a guard change every hour. It would have been tough enough for young men to stand for an hour like that; but these were, shall we say, mature gentlemen. I was well beyond my Catholic days by that point, but I was still moved by the honor they paid my dad. Does this have anything to do with Seth's post? Who knows? George

Was this the NG episode with Tasha's sister and an underground resistance movement? I think it was called "Legacy." George

The middle one. Geez! George

Come back to chat! George

I don't post as much in the Open and About the Way threads as I used to, and haven't posted in Doctrinal in years. Why? Because it is largely the same discussions as when I joined, only with different participants. Does that mean it's boring? No. I think newbies need to work out the same issues that we old-timers did (and, in some cases, still do). I just don't have much to add to those discussions. People come and go here as they please, and that's as it should be. I enjoy the camaraderie and, if I may use the word, fellowhip, even if it's primarily virtual. As for me and my house, we choose to hang out here! :B) George

It might have been a little different in the Houston area, perhaps because we were spread pretty wide. Though we were asked to come to the "prayer location" if we were close, we could do our hour of prayer from home. I guess we just didn't reach the level of heartlessness that was found elsewhere. :blink: George

"House of the Rising Sun" It's been covered recently, but I still prefer the Animals' version. George

Just change one of these words. George

Though I'm sure there was an SIT alert for VP's death, the only one I remember specifically came hen my branch leader told me that "Ermal Owens was waiting the Return." Completely oblivious to the euphemism, I thought Ermal had received some revelation about the imminent appearing of Christ! I caught on quickly after that, though. George
