I've seen 150mW lasers that cut through electric tape and ignite wood from 20metres away, but then I see 240mW lasers that couldn't turn petrol-soaked paper into flame. Am I missing something here?

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life between the legs of me wife!"

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the Best toast of the night"

She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?"

John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner.

The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary."



She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come."

I would like to move out of state but have questions about custody of 5 year old. I would like to accept a very promising job offer, however it is in Wisconsin, and I live in California. I have a five year old son who does have a relationship with his father, however, I am very worried that his father's alcoholism is going to have a negative affect in the future. We don't have any custody agreement in place, and my son has been in my care since he was born with and has had arranged visitiations with his father. His father doesn't have his own place, he lives with his mother, and smokes a lot of pot, and of course drinks a lot (he's had 3 DUIs), and has no license. If I tell him I'm moving, and he doens't like it, what can he do to keep me here, and can I use his drinking and other habits to fight for full physical and legal custody? I don't want to start a big fight, but can I go even if he doesn't approve of the move? Should I file for full custody after I leave or before?

I've just bought a bottle of it and I wonder if it as good as it sounds. I usually use Pantene products and they leave my hair really good.
I was using Pantene shampoo for curly/wavy hair, just changed to Ice Shine.

Is Pantene Ice shine shampoo good?
What are your comments on Ice shine hair spray? I haven't bought that one, shall I?

Me and our family live in a rural neighborhood with alot of land and a stream nearby. Our cats get in and out of our house as they please via a crawlspace in the basement. They go up our basement stairs to get to our main house, where their food and water is.

We went on a trip to VA five days ago, and came back to find the basement door shut, to our horror. This means they had access to litter, but not their food or water. We called them and tried tons of searching in the immediate area outside, but they're not responding.

We are very concerned with our cats, we don't know what we'd do if they left us. My questions are:

-Do our cats think we abandoned them, and are they gone for good if they think so?

-With our natural abundance of mice and insects along with a freshwater stream nearby, would they be able to survive this long?

-What can we do to try to get them back?

Thanks a million, from all of us.

Beat That Slave

"And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes." (Luke 12:47)

Comment

Note, the word "servant" here means slave. The Biblical Jesus lived in a time when slavery flourished, yet He never spoke or fought against it.

"English North Americans embraced slavery because they were Christians, not in spite of it... It was Christianity that perverted the African's way of life. Not leaving them alone was the real tragedy."
--Forrest G. Wood

People who are far more imperfect and sinful have spoken out and worked to stamp out slavery and other forms of the flesh trade.

I look at some of these questions and answers from Racists Trolls on here and it really is SO SAD that people have to spend their days being stressed and having their hearts filled with so much hate and anger. Day after day, after day, after day, HATE, HATE, HATE!......... They've built this prison for themselves and they have to stress out about something they will NEVER-EVER change and never, ever have control over.
THANK YOU GOD, for allowing me to be happy and pleasant and fullfilled in my life and having the ability to love everyone, regardless of their race or gender etc...

THANK YOU GOD for protecting me from evil by not allowing Satan to rule me. I'm so happy I was raised in a good family who loves and respects ALL of human life. LIFE IF SO GOOD!

The part that states we have the "right to keep and bear arms" makes it sound pretty obvious, but often times people ignore the purpose behind it - to form a "well regulated militia". Do the American people constitute a well regulated militia? What do you think?

Enough folks have responded to the Oneness questions saying the self is not God that I thought mabe it should be jabbered about.

The point of the comments about there not being multiple souls or free will or independently existing humans is that the human is an illusory identity, an imagined self, a conceptual egoic identity. The human is not God; it is more accurately the expression of God. All of physicality is happeing 'within' the Oneness that is God, as an expression. Nonduality does not imply that one perceived part of the duality is the Essence of the One, it implies there are no parts. This is just mind's confusion brought on by it's resistance to the idea that it's not what it thinks it is. To see yourself as God is not to project your human ego into God; rather it is to die to the individual you imagine yourself to be.

You have no free will as an individual simply because there is no individual.
