My cat makes messes that that in his litter box every day. You just want us to appreciate it as "art" because you say it's art. Hmph.

Reply to All men are arseholes...and nice guys finish last in Dating JoeUser Forums

Helix II: Women cannot change men, it's a ridiculous fruitless effort..but they'd like to think they can. That's not true; I changed a man for the better, and he agrees. On another aspect of the subject, what makes a man become an arsehole? Usually really handsome men (who know how good they lo

Reply to When a Child Loses a Parent in a Car Accident in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

do I sense a tiny bit of disappointment that he chose not to prepare as much as you did? Not disappointment. I'd expected as much. I actually expected him to bail out on the task completely. So it was nice that he was willing to go through with it at all.

When a Child Loses a Parent in a Car Accident in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Before John & I spoke in Sacrament meeting, I was totally nervous. We arrived late because I'd spilled makeup on my favorite blouse that I wanted to wear, and I couldn't find my wallet which has my military ID in it (necessary to get back onto base when we got home)...So I had to try really hard to forget my worries, and focus to have the spirit with me, to be in the

I agree that the average level of intelligence is spiraling downward. I have seen everything you describe from people with post-graduate degrees Yep, BakerStreet stated an excellent case in point. I agree that TV, Movies, and computer games are a huge contributing factor to the stupidity epide

Reply to The self-discovery just won't stop; the Hard Road in Misc JoeUser Forums

Thank you for giving an honest answer to my overly-presumptuous comment. I've been feeling kinda sick to my stomach ever since I wrote that comment to you in the middle of the night a couple of days ago. What is it about night time that makes me blow things out of proportion? And outstep my bounds so grotesquely? But I'm glad you got to think about it. Nobody's perfect. My life could use a good kick in the pants more than anyone else's. Godspeed to you & L-H!<Font Face="Arial" Size="2" Color="0

I wish you comfort & happiness with your loving wife... Dharmagrl mentioned a liver transplant. Could that be an option for you? Also, does this bring you to a point of pondering the meaning of life? Or maybe you've already got that figured out...

Giving a Talk on Sunday...All Done! in Religion JoeUser Forums

John & I are giving talks in Sacrament meeting this Sunday. I started preparing this on Thursay...now we have 8 hours until the big moment, and as John has gone to bed without preparing his talk yet, I whipped up something for him: he can choose from two Ensign talks I selected for him, if he finds he's at a loss for words: <a href="http://library.lds.org/nxt/gateway.

I See the Light! in Religion JoeUser Forums

I was baptized just short of my 18th birthday, thanks to a great friend who saw potential in me, and introduced me to the Church. And let me tell ya, I wish I'd known these things as I was growing up. I'm 29 yrs old now. I look around me and I see a wide spectrum of church members. To name a few: There are the really faithful members, who rad

It's hard to be imperfect in a perfect church, in't it? That's why the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. Because it's perfect. And no human being is perfect. (Hope you don't mind me commenting once in awhile; I seem to have adopted the HW, L-H, pantherchic, mamie family...until my family gets a #$&! clue how to use the internet. I'd love to have my own extended family to talk to like this. Very cool.)

Thank you for not appearing angry at my audacious comment, HW. I've been plugging away at reading your articles this past week, so all my comments came out right there, all at once. My comment was a bit presumptuous ...but it was really burning in me, and I really want to know how you & L-H feel about what I asked. 'Cause all you two ever say about it are things like, "Bush is great, We're defending America's freedom for the sake of ou

Reply to I Don't Speak Very Often, But Here's What I'm Thinking in Religion JoeUser Forums

From experience, tears happens when someone is emotionally moved, and they will be if they're reflecting on themselves and what God has done in their lives. Is it wrong for them to do this? I agree that these tears and feelings should never be elicited. But perhaps the young people in your congregation feel more enlightened and m

Reply to The journey of self-discovery continues; the Hard Road in Misc JoeUser Forums

H-W I've enjoyed reading your articles. That's an understatement of the century. I'm an old friend of L-H. I was graduating DLI as you arrived, I was the fat bridesmaid at your wedding (not to be confused with your two lithe sisters). The last time I saw you & L-H, you briefly visited me at my domicile in Colorado. You two are amazing, and your potential is infinite. I don't use that word lightly. You're an intelligent person, so it sur

What We Spend Our Money On in Misc JoeUser Forums

One comment to my last article led me on this mental tangent: the advertising industry's power over consumers....and buying ridiculous things in general. For example, Chocolate Pushers make their products look so desirable with their frilly pink displays...So for the impressionable consumer with a couple of extra bucks in their pocket, it's almost nothing to

The Vocabulary of a 1-1/2 Year Old in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Friday, February 11, 2005 Today as I clued in that Michael was getting hungry, I proposed to him, "How about we eat lunch?" And whenever I'm feeling patient enough to slow down a concept for him, I'll repeat one main word of a sentence over and again... "Eat... Let's EAT...Eat....Eat." Then as he ate the food, I'd repeat it patiently to show him that he's "ea

Filtering Junk from my Brain in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Thursday, February 10, 2005 From what little I know of my sister-in-law, and from the small amount of time we've spent together, she seems to have an amazing capacity for filtering out junk, and making sure that her girls are raised with only meaningful things. No stupid meaningless cartoons. I agree!! I silently applauded Heather when Spongebob came on, she

The Real Dish on the X-Plosion Dancers in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Tuesday, February 8, 2005 Last week at the audition, they were dazzled by my soaring jete's and my never-ending pieroutttes. So I made the team. This week, we begin to learn our first "Dance."

Elder Bruce C. Hafen in Religion JoeUser Forums

Tuesday, February 8, 2005 He presided at our stake conference on Sunday, and as he was the last speaker, I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say. He opened by acknowledging that today is Super Bowl Sunday, and as we are about half a day ahead of USA time zones, we have the advantage of going to church AND catching the Super Bowl live on TV.

Aerobics Instructors in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

OK, so I went to aerobics this morning. It sucked. The instructor didn't know what she was doing, so I bailed out and did some crunches. I don't hold anything against her though. I've tried my hand at teaching aerobics before. It's not as easy as it looks when you're the one up there. I knew this though. I first gave it a whirl when I was 19. I took some hor

Piranas in my Bed in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Saturday, February 5, 2005 I felt something bite into my shoulder blade. I startled and looked, and there was my baby Michael getting comfortable. I was too sleepy to ask why the heck he bit me. So back to sleep. Moments later something bit my foot! "AAAGGGHH!" I sat bolt upright, the shoulder bite still fresh in my memory, and looked to the foot of

I Think I Know What a Hangover Feels Like in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Friday, February 4, 2005 A truck must've run over me while I was sleeping last night. It hurt to wake up, so I made Michael let me sleep in until 10. The sun was way too bright. It hurt to open my eyes. I spent the first half hour of the day wearing sunglasses, even after I'd closed all the curtains. My head was pounding. I have a cold. AAAAAAAAGGGGG

Some Brilliant European Traffic Solutions in Travel JoeUser Forums
