RE: How do you motivate yourself?

The problem is, Dana, that people are generally too lazy to do this for me. It's this kind of thing that negates my faith in basic human kindness.

Dana!

RE: Love

No.

Perhaps a more interesting question, P, would be: "How often in a relationship does one person love the other more?"

Of course there are different ways of loving someone, and measuring love as an absolute quantity is slightly problematic.

RE: Sunbathing?

I prefer to do my in early spring, before the sun gets too intense, thus preserving what's left of my aged skin...

RE: Signups...

I've prepared a basic training manual and instruction booklet on all the changes that will be required to satisfy me, Dilly.

What could be simpler? (Though I'm considering hiring Alex 192 as a personal relationship couch and screener for my girlfriend applicants)

RE: Signups...

Are you suggesting I'm in need of divine intervention?

RE: ARE THERE ANY LADIES OUT THERE THAT WILL ACCEPT A PERSON FOR WHO THEY ARE?

God, I hope not! (Imagine how confusing that would be! )

I could help train you to learn, Gringa!

RE: ARE THERE ANY LADIES OUT THERE THAT WILL ACCEPT A PERSON FOR WHO THEY ARE?

God, I hope not. I'm looking for a girl to change me into a prince!

RE: Signups...

Oh, I don't know. I kind of like a guy in black socks...

RE: Signups...

It's as though you read my mind, H!

RE: Women, ask Guys what you've always wanted to know.

Hey, I happen to be a piano tuner (at least in a former life), so that's only natural for me, Audry.

RE: Women, ask Guys what you've always wanted to know.

Warts? Hmmmmm...I'd go so far as large moles, at least...

RE: Women, ask Guys what you've always wanted to know.

Hell, yes. That's God's only truth, Portiea.

RE: Who loves a good argument or debate?

True. But you ain't seen nothing till you've met my genius cat!

The Power of Prayer?

Yeah, I've noticed that you usually don't get involved, sweetie, and I'm glad you're getting involved in this one, either, because it might get us both in a bit of a "sticky wicket" (whatever the hell that means)

The Power of Prayer?

Hmmm...sounds like you're suggesting a form of determinism, HK? I happen to think determinism (at least my conception of it) is correct, so we may not have much to argue about.

RE: Who loves a good argument or debate?

Yeah, and it's proving harder than I thought, Hugsie. Please stop being so agreeable!

RE: Is It Me? Or Is It Like A Battle Field Here Today??? What Is Going On??????

Sometimes I think you're just a chicken, Joanie.

RE: Who loves a good argument or debate?

Wrong!

RE: Is It Me? Or Is It Like A Battle Field Here Today??? What Is Going On??????

Thanks, honey. But you know me. Just trying to get along the best I can (within certain legal restraints).

RE: Is It Me? Or Is It Like A Battle Field Here Today??? What Is Going On??????

Dammit, Morgie, why don't you just go jump in a lake!

The Power of Prayer?

But Hugsy...to what question are you replying to?

The Power of Prayer?

Jeez...thanks a lot, Claire. I was counting on you to have my back in this discussion!

The Power of Prayer?

"When I was back there in seminary school, there was a person there who put forth the proposition that you can petition the Lord with prayer... You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!."

-- Jim Morrison

It's common to offer prayers for those in need (especially on CS), but I wonder how many have considered the deeper logical implications of this practice.

For one, do you believe than anyone's life or welfare should be at the mercy of how many prayers were offered on their behalf? Should their welfare be a function of some kind of popular vote (if you don't offer a prayer for someone, is it more likely that God will allow them to die or their suffering to continue?).

Also, do you have the right to materially affect someone else's life through your thoughts? For example, if you pray for a particular event - one that presumably favors your values - if it were granted wouldn't that involve imposing your will on others? Sometimes that might be justifiable, but surely not just because it's something you want to see happen?

Does it make sense to believe that an infinitely intelligent being benefits from your entreaties and/or counsel? Would it not already know the correct course of action?

RE: Who loves a good argument or debate?

That's my girl!!

RE: i refuse to come back to the forums even though many people ask me to because i'm a man of integrity

I just wanted to say, Gilly, that I am deeply in awe of your integrity in not returning here.

RE: Smokin hot email I got - Jealous?

I was wondering if anyone would notice that wording. Thanks, Claire!

RE: Smokin hot email I got - Jealous?

Oh you naughty girl!
