I remember when they put these emoticons on here, it's been quite a while back.
There was so much talk about them among the regular people that just stays in the forums.
I've been in the forums a few times, after I came back from this last break I took from cs. It's not the same as it use to be, actually nothing is the same, everything is always changing. But I guess that's life, huh???
N E way, let's have a party.
Bring the popcorn
and your party hat.
Here, have some cake too....
and can't have a party with out ballons
and dancing, right???
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Sunday urged China to keep buying US debt as she wrapped up her first overseas trip, during which she agreed to work closely with Beijing on the financial crisis.
Clinton made the plea shortly before leaving China, the final stop on a four-nation Asian tour that also took her to Japan, Indonesia and South Korea, where she worked the crowds to try to restore America's standing abroad.
In Beijing, she called on authorities in Beijing to continue buying US Treasuries, saying it would help jumpstart the flagging US economy and stimulate imports of Chinese goods.
"By continuing to support American Treasury instruments the Chinese are recognising our interconnection. We are truly going to rise or fall together," Clinton said at the US embassy here.
Clinton had sought to focus on economic and environmental issues in Beijing, saying Washington's concerns about the human rights situation in China should not be a distraction from those vital matters.
Beijing's human rights record emerged nonetheless as an issue, as Chinese activists on Saturday reported being harassed or intimidated by Chinese authorities in a bid to stop them speaking out or meeting Clinton while she was here.
"Plainclothes police blocked me from leaving my home. They were afraid I would try to meet with Hillary Clinton or others in her delegation," democracy campaigner Jiang Qisheng told AFP by phone on Sunday.
Clinton and Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi largely agreed to disagree on human rights as they pledged future joint action on the economy and climate change.
The goodwill, also on display in her talks with President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao, could raise hope for a new era of cooperation between the two largest greenhouse gas emitters and two of the world's top three economies.
"Now it is more important than any time in the past to deepen and develop China-US relations amid the spreading financial crisis and increasing global challenges," Hu told Clinton, according to state media.
Clinton began her day Sunday by attending a Protestant church service in western Beijing at which an AFP journalist saw plainclothes police taking away some visitors who attempted to enter the church.
Their identities could not be confirmed.
Later, Clinton met Chinese women's rights advocates at the US embassy but continued to steer clear of speaking on contentious human rights issues.
Instead, while taping an interview on a Chinese talk show, she focused on the need for China to help finance the massive 787-billion-dollar US economic stimulus plan by continuing to buy US Treasuries.
"Because our economies are so intertwined the Chinese know that in order to start exporting again to its biggest market, the United States had to take some very drastic measures with this stimulus package," Clinton said.
"We have to incur more debt. It would not be in China's interest if we were unable to get our economy moving again."
Clinton added: "The US needs the investment in Treasury bonds to shore up its economy to continue to buy Chinese products."
The US secretary of state had said on Saturday after meetings with China's leaders that Beijing was still confident in US Treasury bonds and expressed Washington's appreciation for the investments.
China is the top holder of US Treasury bills, with 696.2 billion dollars worth of the securities in December followed by Japan with 578.3 billion dollars, according to the latest official data from Washington.
China's economic growth is at its slowest rate in about two decades as foreign demand for its exports, including in the recession-hit United States, have dried up.
Yang indicated Saturday that China would not deviate drastically from its US Treasury policies, but gave no overt promises either way.
Oswald Chambers: Beware of human holiness that is not based on the atonement of the Lord.
It has no value for anything expect a life or isolation-it is useless to God and a nuisance to man. We cannot do anything for God unless we deliberately build on the foundation of the atonement be the Cross of Christ.
Oswald Chambers: Beware of human holiness that denies the reality of natural life- it is a fraud. Continually bring yourself to the trail of the test of the atonement and ask."Where is the discernment of the atonement in this, or it that.
The most annoying and frustrating work in being a Christian is trying to be an example to this world, and falling short each and every time. In my time of being called stuck up and a whatever. I thought to myself think Charles!!! shut them up ol hard heads.lol Wanted to say so many times back off I'm learning man.
People mean well and I'm as guilty as the next with trying to get people to a standard that pleases Charles. Be this and do that and be this and do that. It's like telling your Grandma to run the 40 in 4.5 seconds ?? lol She will say boy are you out of your mind. So what people are use to and know are it's who they are right??
Ever been in church and everyone is annoying overly nice?? I have I use to regret the shaking of hands before the sermon. People would shake hands with a nice smile walk away man I hate that guy lol. So what does that do ??? what does fake act.com do??? It gives people a idea that the Lord is a not real just anther religion.
That bothers me I know He is real and I have that reality in His presence. Nothing wrong with having manners and nothing wrong with being nice, I was making a point. But when we have to be fake to prove God, we have disproved Him.
I look at it this way He created the universe with a word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charles doesn't have to be fake for people to know Him!!!!!! I proved a mighty point at my last job. I didn't way a word I was an anti social lol:) killed me but in that I saw people drawn to Him, Charles let God be God and by faith I saw people drawn to him.
I got so tired of people (((limiting)))) the Lord I know and serve to a set of rules or a moral. When I'm in Christ those things are a must the Spirit bears conscience to those very things. So to focus and worry about them 24/7 what I am doing I'm limiting God. So the gameplan is receiving and walking in His love and He will program your hindpot to be a person with a higher standard and a Holy to do list.
So when I'm in Christ: it produces (((morals))) a (((conscience))) and a good to do list. When I get away from that, I become a self righteous chump. Nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself and sure nothing wrong with reaching a standard that gives glory to the Lord. But it's wrong when you get away the reason you are who you are, in the Power of Christ.
I finger point yep sure do, some people I believe need a good finger point to hit that conscience to say your wrong chill out. But I don't nit pick to a point it ticks folks off lol. for example watch your thoughts lol ahahah. People, People, no one can do that, thats satans first battle tactic. (((Renew))) your mind daily in the Spirit and let the Lord help you control your thoughts.
Salvation: The Holy Spirit gives me a new conscience, mind, passion in life, and a new to do list, that is pleasing to God. The Spirit makes me a spotless lamp to the King.
Jesus came to deliver not burden.
God Sense 101
Sad, tearful and crushingly forlorn
They spend their days
Reminiscing good old times
Life is a roller coaster
People tumble over many times
What's left, when they look back?
Just empty spaces, all dark
Broken hearts take time to heal
When they heal, they emerge stronger
Ready to face new challenges.
Taking a step to soar to the horizons
All this happens in one Life,
It's all a circle, until Life ends.
That is when the soul finally rests
Never to feel the pain of rejection.....:

Not too long ago, I was in a shop in Amsterdam, Holland and I saw a poster with this rhyme printed on it:
Candy is dandy.
Liquor is quicker,
What's the 5 word phrase that will complete this simple rhyme?
Hint #1. (03/01/09) The last line reads, "but the **** will *******!"
Hint #2. (03/04/09) The long e sound can be heard in both the missing words.
ANSWER: ..., BUT THE WEED WILL SUCCEED!
My first stumper! Well, besides a couple cool ties decorated with windmills, a tasty green lollipop, some sweet smelling insense, and that xxx coffee mug, looking at those cool fluorescent colored posters was time well spent!!!
