With the Canadian dollar at 0.8871 cents US, why is everything so expensive? Posted: 4/26/2006 8:49:08 AM
Let's look at oil prices as an example. They announce a raise in crude prices- gasoline prices go up within hours. A drop in crude prices- gasoline prices do not drop for days. Oil companies in the US are recording record profits. It is called corporate greed and apathy. People or governments do not complain, so why bother lowering the price. Soak every penny that you can from the consumer.

One woman, one year, 150 dates Posted: 1/23/2006 7:36:55 PM
MOST men/women have this preconceived notion that they are going to find this Greek Adonis or goddess that will allow them to live in Nirvana for eternity. They claim they are looking for someone that is honest, nice, funny, etc., but in he end they will not give most men the time of day because of their looks. People will respond to this in the negative, but their actions say otherwise and if they really search their inner self, they know this is the truth. My advice to most of you, get off of the computer and go face reality and meet people. Give people a chance to know the real you and your success rate will increase. If you are shy, get over it and learn to accept rejection. Take public speaking courses at the local junior college. You may succeed on a dating site, but you chances are much better in the real world. Most importantly: Don't ignore someone because the initial attraction is not there. You may be surprised at what some people have underneath.

Annullment is a process whereby you buy your way out of a marriage so the RC Church will allow you to receive sacraments again. RC Church = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Money talks with any organized religion.

Anti Male Checkout Lines Posted: 1/16/2006 3:40:58 PM
I seem to always get in the checkout line behind a woman who has a cart full of food for her family of 16. She keeps taking things out of the cart, but it's like Jesus feeding the bread and fish to the poor. The cart seems to never empty. Nobody to talk to, so I look at the free reading material that all stores have at the end. Well, I can read about Brittany whatever her name is. Some other blonde bimbos from Hollywood. Or there is Regis fighting with his co-star, or Martha telling of all the nice stuff she made in jail and all of the friendly women that she enjoyed there. As I keep looking, it dawns on me that there is nothing of interest for any man. Do they think men do not shop, or maybe they think we are illiterate? They even have duplicate magazines in Spanish!!!! I'm happy with that newspaper magazine that always has pictures of Bigfoot or a baby that has 3 heads and is the latest Damien. Anything but Peoples or other gossip junk. And women wonder why men hate to shop... Thank ya'll for reading.......

Prophets and a Silent God Posted: 1/14/2006 9:48:08 PM
[But wasn’t most of the prophecy in regards to Jesus?] Factually, this is a debateable topic. Some have brought up the possibility of the life of Jesus being written to fit the prophecies of the Old Testament. One major objection was his birth in Bethlehem, since his family was not of that town. I understand talking to God, but I do question His actually speaking directly to anyone as was done often in the Old Testament.

Prophets and a Silent God Posted: 1/12/2006 8:59:54 PM
Where have all of the prophets gone? Seems like the Old Testament was full of prophets predicting all sorts of bad things and future happenings. Now, we here nothing. The last recognized prophet was Mohammad @ 570AD. Saint Malachy is not that well recognized, but he can almost be considered since what he predicted has come true thus far. Makes one wonder if the ancients really were prophets, or what they said was written after the fact. In the same vein, we have a silent God. In the Old Testament, he was speaking to everyone every so often (Moses, Abraham, etc.). Other than Oral Roberts, who said God told him he would die if he did not raise a few million dollars, there is silence. The last time he was heard from was at Jesus' baptism. He never spoke to His son. Why would He be so quiet after being so vocal throughout all of the previous centuries. He does not even speak to His Chosen People. More evidence for an interpretative view of the bible?

Man Tips on Living Easier Posted: 1/12/2006 3:22:48 PM
Having seen the female beauty tips thread and realizing that men are naturally beautiful, thus not needing beauty tips, I feel that we can at least share some tips on making our single life a little easier. WASHING CLOTHES: Jeans become more comfortable the more you wear them so why bother washing them and making them uncomfortable. Undearwear- no brown spots? They can be worn again! Socks- Unless there are visible dirt spots they are wearable- chances of a woman smelling them are quite remote. Bed Sheets- Unless you got lucky on them one night, why bother. Too hard to fold anyway. CLEANING: Women are big on cleaning everything when people are coming to visit or having a party. Probability is high that after they leave, everything will just be dirty again. So clean after party. DISHES: Dishwashing detergent is actually what causes the bad stomach problems when not rinsed properly. So eliminate the first step and just rinse them off and they are ready to go. Doesn't the coffee taste much better the more you use the pot? Remmber how bad the first pot tastes after washing the pot? Point proven. GROCERY SHOPPING: Do you have little nephews or neices? Neighbor children. Reading ability helps here. Stand with your cart by the middle of the checkout and give them each something to find. First one back gets a point. Keep doing this & the one with the most points gets to choosethe restaurant or movie to see. Shopping done! We can all live so much more easily with these fine points and any others that you wish to contribute!!!!!

What to say to break the ice? Posted: 1/6/2006 9:31:38 PM
Here is a clue. Try actually reading what they have to say in their profiles. Some people spend hours antagonizing over what they write, they rewrite it, they erase it and start all over again writing the same thing in different words until they are comfortable with what they have written. Take the time and learn exactly what they are about and what they may think they like. They have no clue, but they think they do. They like someone over 6' and you are 5'8"---Why would you write to that person? Maybe you enjoy self inflicted pain? They want someone under 40- You are 55, but you don't look over 52 so they won't care that you are 55? Well, hopefully you can fool them for at least 3 emails. These are some of the mistakes people make and wonder why they get no responses. Read what they have written and respond to their words in a light manner, amusing if you have that ability. Amusing does not mean making fun of them or what they like or want. If you do not take time to learn a little about them through their words, then you show them no respect, thus, rejection. Just my thoughts, but it has always worked for me in real life.....

Saints = Idol Worship? Posted: 1/3/2006 6:48:48 PM
The RC Church has come up with a very large amount of saints who represent various facets of life: St. Christopher- pray for safe travel St. Jude- pray for illness St. many more for various other reasons To be a saint in the eyes of the church, you must pray to that person and prove that three miracles have resulted because of these prayers. Is this not the same as praying to the god of fire, wind, war, etc? I grant you that most of these people were very religious and showed a great amount of religious strength. But, should they be the ones that people pray to for help?

God or Jesus Posted: 12/31/2005 4:25:20 PM
"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:5-7" These are the spoken words of Jesus." I remember the nuns teaching me this and I remember (back then) feeling sorry for all of the Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, etc. who were never going to get to heaven and be with God.

gnostic gospels Posted: 12/30/2005 12:11:43 PM
"Mary Magdalene had 7 demons cast out of her, and no doubt one was perversion, and that's why she had sex outside of marriage.. We are mankind not an animal." This is a fallacy brought about by one of the medieval popes to discredit her. I believe it was Pope Alexander who declared her a prostitute and can no longer be worshipped. And yet she was declared a saint? She was Mariam of Magdela, daughter of a very wealthy family who gave support and became one of the leading disciples of Jesus. Her gospel is one of the Gnostic books.

gnostic gospels Posted: 12/30/2005 11:16:44 AM
This was one of the purposes of the first Nicean Council, to put down the Gnostic belief, for the reasons stated by Zeldy. The church wanted to control the Christian dogma that all were to follow, rather than an independent self knowing understanding of the gospels. They chose the gospels that were inserted into the bible format, based on what they wanted the people to follow, not by what was more true.

Everyone else is going around trying to grab as many kisses as they can from as many as others as they can get to and you are stuck there like Daffy Duck trying to pull the plunger off the top of his head. Is it their way of showing how great things are going to be if you stay with me this next year, or is it just the alcohol that has induced this unrequested passion? Oh Oh!

It's Coming Soon!!!!!!!!!!! Posted: 12/21/2005 5:47:51 PM
Twas the night before Christmas at Rock-Away-Rest, And all of us seniors were looking our best. Our glasses how sparkly, our wrinkles how merry, Our punch held prune juice plus three drops of sherry. A bedsock was taped to each walker in hope, That Santa would bring us soft candy and soap. We surely were lucky to be there with friends, Secure in this residence and in our Depends. Our grandkids had sent us some Cristmas crafts, Like angels in snowsuits and penguins in rafts. The dental assistant had borrowed our teeth, And from them she crafted a holiday wreath. The bedpans, so shiny, all stood in a row, Reflecting our candle's magnificent glow. Our supper so festive- the joy would not stop- Was creamy warm oatmeal with sprinkles on top. Our salad was Jello, so jiggly and great, Then puree of fruitcake was spooned on each plate. The social director had us play games, Like "Where do you Live?" and "What is Your Name?". Old Grandfather Looper was feeling his oats, Proclaiming that reindeer were nothing but goats. Our resident wanderer was tied to her chair, In hopes that at bedtime she still would be there. Security lights on the new fallen snow, Made outdoors seem noon to the old folks below. Then out on the porch there arose such a clatter, (But we are so deaf that it just doesn't matter). A strange little fellow flew in through the door, Then tripped on the sill and fell flat on the floor. "Twas just our director all togged out in red, He jiggled and chuckled and patted each head. We knew from the way he strutted and jived, Our social-security checks had just arrived. We sang-how we sang- in our monotone croak, 'Till the clock tinkled out its soft 8pm stroke. And soon we were snuggling deep in our beds, While nurses distributed nocturnal meds. And so ends our Christmas at Rock-Away-Rest, 'Fore long you'll be with us. We wish you the best.

A Bird? Posted: 12/19/2005 3:15:15 PM
I will admit that I am not all convinced of the Holy Trinity concept, but if it is true and all three persons are one, why is the Holy Spirit depicted as a bird? I can relent to the depiction of the Spirit as a small ball of fire, but if anyone has any idea why it is shown as a bird, I would love to hear the reasoning. I may have missed it somewhere in the readings.

Where did Jesus go when he died on Friday night??? Posted: 12/19/2005 9:38:50 AM
The Hebrews had high and low sabbaths- the low sabbaths are the normal Friday evenings through Saturday. The highs mark special worshipping. During Passion week there were two Sabbaths. Follow Mary of Magdela (Magdalene) in the New Testament. She was there when they rolled the stone closed on the high Sabbath right at sunset. The next mention of her tells of her going to purchase the oils for the body annointment before the next Sabbath (the low Sabbath on Friday evening). She arrives at the tomb on the first day of the week (Sunday) either after sunrise or before Sunrise (John). He was not there because he arose Saturday at sunset. Buried for Wed, Thur & Fri nights Thur, Fri & Sat are the days

christmas jokes Posted: 12/17/2005 8:10:43 AM
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven." The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. It represents a candle, he said. You may pass through the pearly gates Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said you may pass through the pearly gates. The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?" The man replied, "They're Carols."

Do Dead People Laugh? Posted: 12/16/2005 8:56:38 PM
We have all heard of at least one joke about people that die and are met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter. To spare religious argument about religious beliefs, let us ALL assume that there is a St. Peter and he is in heaven. We should also make the assumption that since he is in heaven, he must know exactly what is going on down on earth. So, after hearing all of the above mentioned jokes throughout the centuries, do you think that he had a few good laughs over some of them? I would hate to think that heaven is nothing more than the land of the living dead.

WHY CAN'T I FIND ANYONE ON THIS SITE WHO ENJOYS DANCING Posted: 12/15/2005 6:37:51 PM
Going to dance places is good. Dance classes not so good. They tend to take the fun out of it. Generally when we men get older and the joints are killing us if we try to continue playing some sort of sport, dancing is a good alternative for exercise and yes, meeting women. Whatever you do, do not force a guy to dance, since in the future he will never want to do it on his own. Search jitterbug or ballroom or whatever type of dance you are interested on the computer- then go to your area and it should tell you where and when. Good luck..........

Catholic Schools, why I converted to Catholic Posted: 12/13/2005 7:15:47 PM
"Any private school system will be better than a public school system......" Not 100% true as many public school systems have the ability to offer more than privite due to monetary reasons. Another factor is the quality of teachers. A goodly number of private school teachers are not there for idealistic reasons, but because they could not enter the public school system for varied reasons. A parent must examine the broad spectrum of education in their area to determine which is the better choice. If religion is the primary concern, then all others fall by the wayside. There are pros and cons for each and that becomes an individual choice.

Catholic Women Posted: 12/9/2005 4:26:50 PM
You suggested Miss Music and I shall comply. I am astounded that women can belong to an organization that has treated them as less than second class members for almost 2000 years. It took them almost that time period to allow girls to become altar servers and Eucharistic Ministers. The only reason this occured was the poor Diocesan priests were finding themselves having to do a little more work than they were accustomed to doing. When John Paul first took office, he came out and said that under no circumstances were women as priests, or the marriage of priests, be discussed during his tenure. His wish was honored. A couple of years ago, the Catholic cleregy of the United States, assembled to write a new catechism for teenagers. One that was to make Catholic Doctrine more in tune to today, than the old Baltimore Catechism. The final draft was sent to John Paul for approval. He rejected it. The reason: all references to females was to be stricken from this book. One of the leaders of this catechism was the Bisop of Pittsburgh, Bishop Wheurl (sp?). In an interview in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, he said that they all had to meet again to rewrite the book and neuter all references to male or female. As of today, the new pope has made no statement on the female standing in the church. You may all hope and pray, but he is of the old guard and changes will probably not be forthcoming. My belief is that this all goes back to Mary of Magdela and something the church has not been willing to let be known. Any theory on this topic is purely speculative, so I will not comment. Read the Gospel of Mary for some background. So ladies, I truly await your reasons as to why you do not mind being discriminated against and still wish to belong to the Catholic Church. Theren are other options.

Household Advice and other answerable questions Posted: 12/3/2005 1:32:42 PM
Ok, I'm living in a really old (ca 1850's) house, that has a huge stone and cement basement. Dehumidifier will certainly help. I do believe you eventually will get some warm weather up your way in the summer. When this does occur, a good washing of the stone with a 50/50 mix of chlorine (ie. household bleach) and water, all over the basement walls will remove any mildew present. You should also have 2 opposing windows to leave open in the summer to allow airflow through the warmer months and help prevent a recurrance. Make certain to shut off all pilot lights when doing this washing and have plenty of airflow through the basement to help prevent a buildup of the chlorine gas and odor. Wait a few hours before relighting all pilot lights. For those of you that use the product called Tilex, or similar products, to remove mildew in the shower, are actually using chlorine + water + perfume......Mix up your own and save $$

Perks of Being Over 50 Posted: 12/2/2005 12:47:57 PM
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you. 2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. 3. No one expects you to run--anywhere. 4. People call at 9 PM and ask, " Did I wake you?" 5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. 6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. 7. Things you buy now won't wear out. 8. You can eat dinner at 5 PM. 9. You can live without sex but not your glasses. 10. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations. 11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans. 12. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. 13. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks! into the room. 14. You sing along with elevator music. 15. Your eyes won't get much worse. 16. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. 17. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service. 18. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. 19. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size. 20. You can't remember who sent you this list.

what's wrong with marriages today? sixty per cent of them end in divorce. why is that? Posted: 12/2/2005 10:31:06 AM
Just a theory: People evolve as they grow older. Who you were, is not the same person 5, 10 or 20+ years later. Marriage or living together is not an easy task. As the changes occur, you must be able to grow with these changes. You may want to still go out and have a good time every weekend, while your partner slows down and only wants to go out once a month. We should all know that sex tends to be a major problem for the above reason (and it actually does work both ways in the frequency). There are amny other examples, but the mods start to sweat when you eat up the posts with alot of words (bandwidth thing). (Just a joke mods, just tired of typing). It boils down to the fact that true love is the ability to overlook the other persons faults. Many do not wish to put forth that effort and many just tire of the give and take that is demanded in any relationship.
