I have ABSOLUTELY seen this happen. Sometimes I'm the one who caused the trouble too! I can almost see why some people think that God caused something bad to happen because the situation turned around so much in due time that you think if it hadn't of been for the bad thing happening the good thing would never have happened. There is a verse I share with my prison pen pal friend, that she writes back and throws right back at me. We all need to hear it. It's from Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" No matter WHAT happened, even if it's my own dang fault, God can use it to make some good come out of it. I truely believe that! BTW, I saw the double for your trouble from Joyce too!

Well now Groucho I don't feel as strongly about him as you do, but I must say that last part is a classic. Especially a human haircut with baseball size teeth. I'll have to remember that one for someone else somewhere down the line. :lol:

I dunno, I think he's a good guy. As far as his wife goes, I'm waiting for other passengers in 1st class to testify, or at least give written statements. So far it's only been flight crew thats against her, I don't know. I really just skimmed the story. So someone correct me If I'm wrong. If they care enough. He's not my type of preacher, because the guy just hasn't gone through the normal crap a lot of people have gone through. He was born into a strong loving Christian home, I used to watch his dad in fact, I even remember him from years ago. As I recall I even remember when Joel took over his dad's church, I was didn't trust him at first, thinking he was riding his dad's coat-tails. But he proved his salt I think. If I'm in the mood for a tely-preacher I prefer the likes of Joyce Meyer and such. But hey, my brother, who I thought was a total athiest, he is very jaded towards preachers, blew me away when he mentioned he enjoyed the guy. So to each their own. As far as that goes, there are probably certain apostles I would have liked better than others. That's why God needs so many different types to get His Word across. Just MHO.

Points well noted Twinky. Police are allowed to shoot MENACING dogs I know, but since when do they get to shoot any dog involved in a "raid"? I remember a not so long ago story about some biker gang, either the Hell's Angels or the Outlaws, who sued the cops and WON, because the cops killed a bunch of their dogs in a "drug raid." As po'd as I am about this happening to this guy, I'm glad for the publicity it's getting. As I said this stuff has gone on COUNTLESS times in this country, much of it in the name of "The war on drugs." These cops were nothing more than sadistic butchers, they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I hope their getting hate mail from all over the world. I know I sent in my 2 cents.

I was surprised to see that this wasn't posted already. If it has been I apologize. I am keeping up with this story and it makes me madder than hell. Of course, as it is pointed out, this stuff happens all the time across America, and it's because this guy is a mayor that this story is getting all the attention. Cops Kill Mayor's dogs in "drug raid" BTW, there are more recent stories regarding this incident, the Mayor and his wife were cleared of ANY wrongdoing on their part, and the police chief stands by his "mens" decision. They will not apologize for this depraved, sadistic atrocity. The FBI will investigate, at the request of the Mayor.

Hey 6 and a half years of work is very admirable. I have heard from a couple of different guys that many times schools will hand out belts like candy, because people want to go up in rank, and there are very few good karate/judo schools that actually require the work. So when you hear someone brag that they got there black belt in a year and a half or whatever, it's all show and no work. Sounds like your son worked hard for his rank! Congrats! How cool. !

Well if the little bugger haden't of kept sticking his finger in his mouth!!!! :) That was cute. Remember this one? Laughing Quadruplets

OH I LIKE THAT!!! :) And I think you saved me from getting kloncked on the head from someone too!

I got the 8.99 a month deal, one dvd at a time, no limit. Works for me. My biggest gripe is that I'm a HUGE fan of made for tv movies and those are almost impossible to find on VHS or DVD. Also when I was waiting forever for "The Mist" to come out, I put it in my "que" and couldn't figure out why there was a "very long wait" for it. I finally went to my local blockbuster and rented it, it's a blockbuster exclusive I found out. But so far it works for me. Some of the sound quality could be better, but what the heck.

Big belated hug!!!

Okay I'll finish my own knock knock jokes.... APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES: Knock. Knock. Who's there? Who. Who who? Is there an owl in here? SOME PARENTAL EXPLANATION SUGGESTED: Knock Knock! Who's there? Thisle. Thisle who? Thisle have to hold you until dinner's ready. JOKE MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT: Knock Knock! Who's there? Madam! Madam who? Madam foot is caught in the door! UNDER 17 NOT PERMITTED TO HEAR: Knock Knock! Who's there? (Gladiator) don't hit me for the last one please.

Whadda afraid? huh huh huh? KNOCK KNOCK:

OKAY KNOCK KNOCK

Now THAT deserves a big GROAN!!!! :o

Hey as far as knock knock jokes go, these are well....not too horrible. :P

Are you talking about the laughing in the spirit thing? Or the other thing? If your talking about the laughing in the spirit thing I will have to look into that a bit more. I know a lady who went to a Joyce Meyer women's conference in St. Louis (I do enjoy Joyce much of the time) and she said they were doing it over there, she got into it too. But it really sounded hokey to me. She said Joyce was rolling on the floor just whooping it up in the spirit. :huh: I can't even form a mind picture of that! I may be wrong but it seems to me I have heard that Joyce does have some Pentacostal roots.

Actually that fish recipe got me really jealous. I wouldn't know how to clean or cook a fish for the life of me, much less smoke and grill it. Fresh Alaskan salmon right from the water, and that scrumptious sounding sauce...heaven! One of these days I'll have to tell my "fishing" story, about my uh....date. :blink: (blech ick!) with this guy a couple of years ago who tried to teach me to fish. But that will be a whole different thread. Probably under, Worst Dates of my life or something.

I'll have to show this one to my Polish Catholic mother. :)

Oh my goodness who actually sits down and THINKS UP these jokes? :unsure: And Sushi lol. Here's another one that's better told orally...TO A FIVE YEAR OLD! Knock Knock Who's there? The interrupting cow The interrupting co... MOOOOO!!!!!!!!

omg what a cute avatar!

Just looking at the still picture makes me nauseous. I have a horrible fear of heights. I remember one time in the 80s I was drunk at a rooftop party, and suddenly thought how cool it would be to jump from one rooftop to the next. Well I decided against it and when I sobered up I was horrified at what I almost could have done. :o Since then I ESPECIALLY stay away from roofs or anyplace high. Death would be preferable to being permanently paralyzed from the neck down. Just tried watching the video, NO THANK YOU!

I honestly believe some of these people are operating with spirts, but not the good ones. I remember chatting with a guy I know and trust, and he told me he went to some sort of Pentacostal type church thing where people got so excited that one kid was jumping in the air ABOUT 4 FEET OFF THE GROUND. The "elders" or whoever had to contain him and hold him down. He and his friend got so freaked out they left. I guess these people felt they were "filled with the holy ghost spirit" but this guy knew better. There's also some trendy thing I heard called "laughing in the spirit" I don't know what that means exactly but it sounds a bit hokey to me.

OH!!! Bar TENDER. Sheesh.

Agreed about places being more pet friendly with smaller dogs. Many motels/hotels have a weight limit. And even if they didn't many places would be VERY leary about having a rottweiler stay with them, they wouldn't care if I told them she's the friendliest dog in the world. Don't you be looking at yellow labs with pink noses if it makes you so sad! :( Yeah I see a lot of black and tan markings on certain dogs. Gorden Setters, mini pins, regular pinchers etc. Well, today is THE DAY! TYDTWD. I'm going to blare the song full blast. You can play it at takeyourdog.com

OKAY...Somebody clue me in I don't get it.
