Columbus Day, it seems, is not a very popular holiday, and is becoming more criticized as the years go by. Those of us who were in elementary school decades ago were taught he was the “discoverer” of America, the one who began it all here on 2 continents. Yet even then and long before, his...

There is no option for me in the poll-- I don't drink milk. So, what DO I do with milk, you may ask? I usually have a can of evapromotated milk if I need any for receipes; half canned milk + half water is about equal to whole milk, but I also cut the amount anyway. I also use a little of that...

Handel's Messiah? We ought to be more concerned about the Messiah's handle.

What evidence is there of a "call to preach?" Is it just telepathy with God? I used to think I had such a call, but now have ignored it or suppressed it so long I doubt if such a thing is real to anybody. All you're engaging in is ambition for some level of power and control and expected...

Nothing. And that includes all the disinfecting of doorknobs and junk, as well as never having had a flu shot. I still only get it about once every 3-5 years. The cost/benefit analysis of taking all these steps makes a steep ratio for me.

But how often do you hear something about government bodies not being there to make, evaluate, or enforce morals?

I am not in position where I can watch television in "prime time." I really haven't paid any attention to 'new' shows for 20 years or more. But... since a new Hawaii Five-O series has begun this year, I have watched 2 episodes so far, only because the old H50 I always liked; my second favorite...

This is a sad story, but I'm inclined to agree with those who say that if this is how firefighting service is supported, then you must be certain to pay that fee or not expect the firefighters to put yours out if it happens. All these threats coming in to the department just reflect the sense of...

Oh yeah? What's your last name?

Or he has a pathetic PR department if he did.

No veggies? That's not a very healthy theft. Yogi Bear didn't move to SC, did he? Anyway, that it wasn't a vegetarian only eliminates the suspects from 300 million to about 260 million. And that's only with the assumption that the residents had veggies there.

I am not really sure, but so far I have given the single "Only in extreme circumstances" answer. I can say that of all the hits I ever took, the single one that stands out was when I was probably 3, and I don't remember what I did or said, but my mom gave me a slap on the face while we were in...

Yes. But more specifically, pumpkin pi.

Uh, nope. And I'm not sure if Salty gets it, or he's just greening us :laugh: .

I'm sure we'll get a Buzz out of your welcome presence here.

If you take a pumpkin and measure it around and across, then divide the circumference by the diameter, what do you get?

I don’t know about the wisdom of this poll, but it’s just a following up of the related thread, and also in the Baptist (only) section, as different churches have differeing views, as well as positions.

How much do you know about religion? More than I want to [I'm inclined to answer].

It seems to me their biggest setup mistake was in thinking "they could not fall because he was a pastor." The main reason I am not a pastor-- that I have an introverted personality and am rather blunt-- is also the reason I don't get close to people and am not seen as a people-pleaser and one to...

If sharing a tent is sinful because Jesus said looking on a woman with lust is equated with adultery, then it must be a sin even for men and women to be in the same church building at the same time.
