Thanks, guys. Both comments are helpful. It turns out that only two other people in the neighborhood saw the planes. They were also very uncomfortable with the whole thing and each of them also called the police department. Each of them got the "We...

Yesterday there were (what appeared to be) small, private planes circling over our neighborhood. One of them dumped some kind of white powder all over the place, for about three blocks, while the other one just followed, and flew around the dust. They ...

Never mind. As far as I know, this story is the combination of two separate incidents that I have personal knowledge of. My sister's dog did dig under the fence to get to the neighbors yard to escape the abusive husband when she (the dog) wanted to...

I don't know if anyone has already posted something like this, so here it goes. I'm hoping that this will be a fun game we can play. Post a story. It can be real or not, but don't say if it is or not until enough people ask (how many is up ...

WOW! It's amazing to think just how long I've been around, LOL. My own sister "learned to tell time" on a digital watch. Her children have no clue how to use a rotary phone, and even less knowledge about records. And until recently, the...

Last night, I bought some whole wheat pasta, pinne (SP?). I sauted mushrooms, diced ham, and sliced olives and added them to Alfredo sauce. Then put the sauce over the pasta and everyone in the house loved it. Success and seconds were had by all. I did...

Looks like he's just having too much fun for that gig! Gotta love the enthusiasm. I should try this with the utensils when I serve dinner here at home...oooh, or maybe when flippin' patties on the BBQ! Nah. The kids would love it, but I'd ...

Hi, dramaqueen. I don't know if Pax still has an anti-porn program, or even if it still exists, but if I knew that I could get it I probably would. It wasn't just a program (for pop-ups and blocking ads) they also use live people to monitor wha...

It really is great to see you all here again. :D God bless, everyone. ayden

Hi, Everybody! Isn't it great to be back here?! Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas so far. What a great Christmas present, to get the " 'bana " back. Merry Christmas, happy new year, and God bless you and yours. ayden

Hi, Smiles and Pamela! I'm so glad you had as much fun reading my post as I had writing it. It was just such a brutal experience to my senses I had to share my hard-learned lesson. At one point the juicer was beginning to look like a very large, ve...

Okay. So after reading and hearing about all of the health benefits of juicing, I decided to try it. I went and bought an expensive juicer (paid more than $100 for it) because it was supposed to pulverize everything to the point of becoming juice, with...

Man that is SO SAD!! Wow. And there's a warm car, right there. Dang. Reminda me of hearing of a guy that got caught in a sudden blizzard in the mountains with visibility of about four feet. He traveled for hours against all odds to get back to cen...

I think I'll check out L4J again. But every time I've gone there, it's been "down". :( Still, I think I might like it well enough, so I'll keep trying. :D Maybe I'll see *hoping for all* some of you there, LOL. (((hugs))) fo...

Hello, All. My friend has just told me about the death of his niece. Apparently, she accidently locked herself out of her car (engine running) in the middle of "nowhere", and was exposed to the freezing temperature long enough to get hypothermi...

Thanks for the invite to facebook, Jemila. But I really don't want to get on any of those huge networks. I'm just not liking facebook, twitter, myspace, blah, blah, blah, lol. Oh well. But I am at gracecenteredforums, sometimes. As I think I sa...

Hi, All. WOW. I feel shell-shocked! I didn't think it would come to this. What a loss. I don't use facebook, or twitter, or myspace, or anything else, except Gracecenteredforum.com. I only use it sometimes - not even as much as Cabana - but you...

Smiles, LOL! Pintos are one of my favorite cars to work on! I love that they're so small, once they're fixed they stay fixed, and everything is SO easy to get to! :D God bless you and yours, Smiles. Your Pinto brings back a lot of good memories...

Thank you, everyone, for all of your kind and uplifting messages. Yes. I know it would be easy, satisfying, and maybe even justified if I didn't give the family presents/money, even though I won't be there. But the ONLY thing that makes me do i...

Hi, All. Okay. So I guess I was being overly sensitive. It's just that I have seen similar lists here and it's always hurt that I never saw my name on the "counted missing" (for lack of a better term, lol) even though I hadn't poste...

To Smiles, I tried multiple times to send this PM, but your box is full, so I'm finally just posting it here: I really do miss you guys (you, Cobalt and Leo). It seems that you three together were a better voice for my thoughts, concerns, and feeli...

(((hugs))) *sobs quietly* Ayden, it took you to make me reply. Not that I don't miss SO many people here. I miss the WONDERFULL friendships I have made here. The people I have actually met in person because of this board. The blessed fellowship I ...

Some days you wonder, "If something happened to me, who would miss me?" Other days, you KNOW that no one would. God bless, All.

Hi, All. I finally got to see this movie and I'm so disappointed. But it did have its "pros" too. I'm just sorry that the pros weren't enough to make it a better movie. Cons The actor/actress in the main character roles didn't s...

How long have you been waiting to get married? Hi, Duckie. I've been waiting since 1984 to get RE-married, and since 1999 for a Christian marriage. I'm 44 and still have a lot of hope, LOL. God bless, Duckie. ayden

Hi, KateE05, Don't think that it gets any easier when you've already had sex and decide to not have sex again until being re-married. It doesn't. And what I hear a lot is: "But you've already done it, so what's the big deal?!...

I need to get off the computer and into a daily and vigorous walking program. My PCP wants me on all these new pills. Chiefly, I know the health problems--cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and the like can be controlled so much better by dis...

Israel is the world's whipping dog for a long time. I would not be surprised if it worsens over time. Hi, All. Absolutely, Cajunluvie. In fact, we know it will. I'd say it's not a matter of if, but just how fast. God bless, All. ayden

WOW. I just watched the pilot for this show. It's SO wonderful and refreshing to see a father and husband character actually be a good father and husband! And it's equally refreshing to see a mother and wife character actually be a good mother ...

Great actor! I LOVE him AND Thomas Hayden Church in "Broken Trail". That movie is one of my favorite westerns. It's based on a few historical accounts of events that were kind of "put together" into one story. But I love watching th...

I finally saw this movie. I was really looking forward to watching it because I thought (had hoped) that it might have some Christian influence in the story. As far as secular movies go, it was good. As a "Christian" movie, it failed miserably ...

You'll never guess what that big "meeting with the administrator and my supervisor" was about. They didn't even mention that lady falling! They called me in to say that a few of the nurses heard me saying that I wondered what state woul...

Just to let ya all know, the lady involved is fine! She was NEVER in any real "danger", as she always "scoots" out of the bed - that's lowered to the floor - onto her bottom. It's just that the state reg says that a "buttock...

Thank you, everyone, for your prayers in all of this. I know they help. My other post should come as no surprise, as the guy in question did tell me that I need to "learn not to trust anyone". Even at the time, I got the impression that he was ...
