Why I can't call my mother until tomorrow

Got another forward from my mum.

It was written in royal blue 72 point font.
(WTF!?!??!!?!!!1 I hate that shit. At least it wasn't in all caps.)

It begins "You are driving home in your car."
(Try again, I'm sitting on my arse in front of my computer.)

It is pages long and scrolls for ages. Words that catch my eye as I scroll down...
Staring at the sky
Thousands of wings
The angels bow their heads
To some it may sound dumb
(ummm yeah, me!)


And then the ending two paragraphs.

Pass it on to 20 of your true friends. SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TODAY. SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE; SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BY PHONE OR WILL SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE WAITING TO HEAR. DO NOT BREAK THISEMAIL . SEND IT TO A MINIMUM OF 4 PEOPLE.


20 or 4. Can't make up your mind?

Assertion by caps lock does NOT make you correct. FUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Jebus really respond to shit like this? Is the Master of the Universe, the one with his finger on the trap door that will send all atheists to charbroil for all eternity, really moved to allow something nice to happen to people because they read some dipshitty version of the second coming?????

My IQ dropped at least 50 points glancing through that shit. Thank Dawkins I had the presence of mind to scan quickly and not get absorbed by the non-think.

And if my mum and dad heard from my n'er do well cousin after sending this.... I'll know that Jesus loves me. *snerk*

no burning within the city limits

My fundy next door neighbors "burn barrel".

Not only is it illegal and inconsiderate, he isn't even keeping it contained. *sigh* And if my windows are open the whole place ends up reeking of smoke and his burnt trash!!!!!

Love thy neighbor eh? Maybe he doesn't love himself very much.

I'd like your thoughts and opinions on this

Here are 2 ideas for the sign for my used book store. I'd love to hear your reactions and comments positive or negative and specifically why you think the way you do.
i.e. instead of ... "It looks weird" you could say ..."It needs ears"

There are 2 major differences between the two. The font of the "O" and the eyebrows.

I'll be making the decision very soon so a speedy reply would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!!!!!!

you've got mail

*sigh* Got another fundy forward from my Mom today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Subject: A small request

THIS IS PRETTY NEAT. 93% won't forward

A small request.. Just one line


Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer. Amen



All you are asked to do is keep this circulating.
Even if it's only to one more person.
In memory of anyone you know who has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it.
A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle..

Please Keep This Candle Going

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If God wanted cancer to be cured it would be. Prayer isn't going to change his mind. Why would it? His will be done.

"93% won't forward this". Don't I wish there were that many people who thought this was an effective means of helping.

What I wish it gave was a list of options of how a person could actually make a difference. Whether it's donations to research grants, raising awareness, etc... but passing on a forward with a 1 line prayer. Not impressed.

World Autism Awareness Day

Mercury in the vaccines? Cold unfeeling mothers? Genetic abnormalities in the brain? What the hell causes autism? And more importantly, why is it on the rise?

There's a lot of misinformation out there about autism and not enough resources to properly help those who are...what does one say? Blessed with autism? Afflicted with autism? Cursed with autism? Challenged by autism?

Sometimes I wonder if some of the difficulty doesn't stem from society's abhorrence of ALL who are different. Different race, different sexual orientation, different way of thinking.

Anything that tips you off of the peek of the bell curve is cause for social ostracism, medical intervention, religious persecution, hatred, fear, misunderstanding.

Why doesn't everybody leave everybody else the hell alone?
Ain't nobodies business if you do.
Victimless crime isn't crime.
Meet a person on common ground, you'll be amazed at what you learn.

mi bloga es su bloga

Its my blog and I'll write what I want to.

Except I like people to enjoy it and interact with me and each other in the comments section.

So.... this is a poll, except more than a dot click would be helpful.

What do you like best to find when you stop by my blog?

1- Playing Fundy Bashing? (If so, I can open up comments to all and we can have at the believers who stop by with their 5 most obvious arguments that we've "never" heard)

2- Posts with my reaction to religious idiocy

3- funny jokes, pics, you tube clips that catch my eye

4- personal annecdotes of my life including pics of the weather (omg does THAT sound boring, but I know that it isn't as bad as that)

5- talk of homeschooling (*snerk* THAT Stopped after a few posts)

6- tales of my drinking exploits (which occur about 4-6 times per year, if I'm lucky)

7- travel adventures (Australia but mostly Montana)

8- talk of evolution, science, how the world really works?

I don't know if this is a massive bout of self-doubt- which is ugly, I know- but what keeps you coming back here? And if it suits me, I'll provide more of that.

Thanks, cheers, and ta for the help!
