as an English businessman who has just flown back from the USA i feel i must ask this.
Most Americans who i encountered were so quiick witted and i often felt my sides splitting with their ability to use witty repartee.
One example was when i asked an American a simple question and he replied"F**k off Motherf**ker before i pop a cap in your a**e"
Now thats what i call humour.I think us Brits can learn a thing or two.

According to verse 4:119-120, Satan (the rejected one) is the one who creates false desires and misleads people. Refer also 15:42. However, according to verse 16:93, it is God who leaves people astray as He wills! See also 4:78.

(4:119-120)
"I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires....." (says Satan)
"Satan make them promises and creates in them false hopes...."
(16:93)
"If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people. But He leaves straying whom He pleases and He guides whom He pleases ...."

Okay, so I've looked up all the online help areas and whatnot. I've seen that some recommendations are to use a "charcoal chimney" and whatnot. To stack your charcoal in a pyramid...etc.

However, I keep failing...

The first time I lit up my charcoal, the fire went out. I had put the charcoal in the grill and poured enough lighter fluid on it to coat it. Then I lit it up. However, the fire went out and eventually the charcoal stopped burning (the grill got cold in about 45 minutes, there went my food...).

The second time, I put about 15 briquettes down, poured lighter fluid on it, then repeated two more times. I then lit the charcoal. It stayed lit this time, BUT it got really really smoky! Horribly smoky...I basically made a smoke signal... :'(

My question here is how do I properly burn charcoal? I want to keep it burning to the point that it cooks, but not to where I create a smoke signal for planes...

Like I said, I've looked up all the online stuff, but nothing helps..

years before you religion was invented?! How can it have any kind of credibility when it was simply made up at a certain point of time as were all the rest!! As if god would create the earth then wait to send Jesus-it makes absolutely no sense.

To go fishing up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends.

We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to

Get that promotion I've been wanting, so could you please pack

Enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and fishing box?

We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick
My
Things up"

Oh! Please pack my new blue silk pyjamas." The wife thinks this
Sounds
A bit fishy
But being the good wife she is, did exactly what her husband

Asked The following weekend he came home, a little tired but
Otherwise looking good. The wife welcomed him home and asked if he

Caught many fish? He said, "Yes! Lots of Salmon, some Bluegill,

And a few Swordfish. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk

Pyjamas like I asked you to do?"




The wife replied,

I did. They're in your fishing box.....

Harry Reid of Navada was elected to office in the senate by just one state, a state that ranks 35th in population, but now has it in his mind that his job is to save our country. In his zeal to seem important, he now wants to assume the roll of “commander in chief” and dictate to the military when, where, and how wars should be fought, overriding the authority granted by the constitution to the legitimate commander in chief, The President. Why should we wait until this quack is up for election to get him out of office and off the tax payers payroll?

India is getting economically stronger as per the sources said. But when u consider the neighbouring china, it's been faster than us. There u can see many multistoreyed buildings,bridges which is laying off each and every day. They having a very good metro rail system. But we are not upto the level also u couldn't find similar kind of development.
Even railways minister agreed, the fastest so called trains runs in japan like countries, cannot run here because of financial problem and improper rail track.. And also in India, corruption has routed well, where ever u see politicians get caught for corruption or Black money and many still get rid off that... So they want to enhance themselves not the country. But still India booming??!!!??

Whilst there is no doubt that some criticism can be fairly made about the McCanns leaving their children alone, it is also fair to say that a lot of those comments are extremely sick and unbalanced, so much so that I personally wonder whether some people out their are unsuitable parents.
They would clearly give up very quickly if it were their child that disappeared.
And they clearly do not believe that doing everything possible is the right way to go in these dreadful circumstances..

I don't really like the idea of eating animals but don't want my health to suffer either. What's are good alternatives to add to my diet?
( I went to donate blood recently and they wouldn't take it as my iron levels were low even though I've been taking iron supplements and vit C etc since stopping eating meat)

Daddy Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl, and it is also empty. "Who's been eating my Porridge?, he roars. Mummy Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells: "For Christ's sake, how many times do we have to go through this with you idiots? It was Mummy Bear who got up first, it was Mummy Bear who woke everyone in the house, it was Mummy Bear who made the coffee, it was Mummy Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night, and put everything away, it was Mummy Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper, it was Mummy Bear who set the damn table, it was Mummy Bear who put the friggin cat out, cleaned the litter box, and filled the cat's water and food dish, and, now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear asses downstairs, and grace Mummy Bear's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen good, cause I'm only going to say this one more time: "I haven't made the friggen porridge yet!"

Ok, I have been deployed out of the country for a bit more than a year. My wife started watching the kids of this guy during the day (we also have kids, and his wife had passed away). No problem. He paid her for doing it. My wife is not the cheating kind. A couple of weeks ago she told me she and this guy had a huge fight that involved some shoving and had to be broken up. She said she filed a police report. I was terribly upset of course. But today I was on MySpace and saw that this guy is still on her friends list, and when I went to his profile I saw that my wife had recently (less than a week ago) sent her comments and some pictures (of the kids). Nothing is making me think that she's cheating ... but she's certainly acting strangely. I haven't been able to get a hold of her lately. Is she just being a drama queen? Am I being an idiot?
