    Well, Sheila, that is something we have little say about. The best plans of mice and men.

    On the Latin word, you might be right on that one..sorry, I bowed out when the other came in..I try to avoid certain people anymore.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Jim, np...I tried putting it into a latin - english on-line dictionary but it came up as not found.

    Will sleep on it I think, but thanks for the input.

    Good Night and God Bless

    Well, i quit boycotting #33 and done gone boycottin' #34 [​IMG]

    Over there, a nice guy in Ireland asked:
    "What ever happend to global warming?"

    The weather you are expriencing is a proof
    of the correctness of the theory of Global Warming.

    "Global Warming" refers to a rise in the average temperature
    of the earth. The low and high temperatures will alternate
    MORE with global warming than without. Got it ? the average
    goes up, the lows go down, and the highs go up.

    BTW, the climate of Ireland/England will change.
    Now the climate of the two big British Islands is driven
    by the Gulf Stream. In fact, the Gulf Stream drops more
    energy on the British Islands than the Sun does.
    A very slight warming (maybe only 2ºF which has yet to
    happen, the average, of course) might cause the Gulf
    Stream to totally disappear. Some even say this
    could happen as early as 2025 (most say later).
    If the Gulf Sream is destroyed, Ireland/England would
    take on the climate of Labrador. You know, Labrador,
    the place where the native vegitation is the 1-meter high
    evergreen bush.

    So have a nice day, friend of Ireland -- Global Warming
    is real and may ruin your life :(

    I'd bring you an ice-pick, Shelia, but
    they won't let me on the plane with it :(

    YBIC,
    the formerly uplifting Ed

    O.K. #33 stayed up overnight so i could
    read the end of it. So that means the fuss
    i had with the coffee place has ended.
    So I'm not boycotting anything on this
    board any more.

    But i am still boycotting Florida Orange
    Juice (the Anita Bryant thing from the late 70s).

    I'm still boycotting all the works
    of L. R*n H*bbard and his successors
    (dating from the early 80s) -- he is a
    false prophet and a lousy SF writer (i.e.
    a false profit).

    Back in the middle 80s, when i first got on a
    bulletin board (a precussor of the internet) i
    was in a forum right next door (well in cyber space
    right next door) to a private forum and a public forum
    of the group of writers of L. R*n H*bbard (henseforth
    in this message just "L"). These
    members of L's sect were writing a series of
    Science Ficiton (SF) books in the name of "L".
    There is a story in the SF writers community that
    L was a 3ed rate SF writer and couldn't make a living
    with it. So he stated one day that he had figured out
    how to make millions of dollars. He wrote a phony
    bible-like religious document and founded a phony religion.
    (That religion/sect is banned in Germany.) And he
    made his millions (didn't keep him from dying
    and going to hell, but he did make his millions.
    L got a group of his sect members to write his SF for him.
    They did write better SF than L, i hear (I say "I hear" cause
    i never read any of that SF -- boycotting it, you know ;) ).

    Ed,

    There are some things that should be boycotted - and "L" is a good place to start. There have been many others who have done the same thing that he did - and gotten financial gain.

    But I'll believe that your boycott against certain threads on BB is over - when I see a post of yours on that thread! [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Dan - just trying to cause trouble - am I being successful?

    Enough is enough. I'm boycotting ED until he puts up a picture of himself in a polka dot bow-tie! ;)
    I slept in late. Time to get to the store for groceries. The girls are thrilled to be getting a late start to schoolwork today, but little do they know what I have planned. Mwah ha ha ha...
    It feels downright warm here. I have the heat turned off and the window open, we're all in short-sleeved and there's people walking around with no coats.
    It's PATHETIC that it's been so freezing cold for so long that 36 now feels like a summer day!

    :eek: eek!

    I had to work all day.
    It was a primary day
    (Oklahoma desided to have an
    early primary so we can help
    "choose" the candidates.

    Ed,
    Isn't it just a Democratic thing right now? Maybe I don't understand the system.

    In Oklahoma only registered Democrats can
    vote for Democratic candidates, only
    registered Republicans can vote for
    Republican candidates. Registered Independants
    can not vote for anybody. There is
    a man running against Geo.W Bush for
    Republican. Actually Geo.W Bush is shadow
    boxing. So in a practical sense
    it is "just a Democratic thing right now".

    An hour and a half after the polls close
    in Oklahoma it is Edwards by a slim
    (to close to call) margin.

    Jim - I'm reminded that if I had been the only person - Jesus still would have died for me!

    Ed - I am waiting patiently for you to post on another thread - just to see if you boycott is off or not!

    Dan, No greater truth than this, that Jesus died for me. What's more, He took all my sin and buried it in hell, that I would gain heaven....Hence my life motto, taken from Jim Elliot: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose."

    Jim Elliot and I shared some aspects of life. We were both born in 1927, and shared the name Jim. We both went to a Christian school the same year, 1945. We came to Christ early in life and went on to serve the Lord. He gave his life in death; I was trusted to continue my life. We will share a place in glory. God be praised.

    Cheers,

    Jim
