I heard a story on the radio this morning about a middle school math teacher whose job is in jeopardy because she sent out a homework assignment to her class to decipher certain internet "code" lanugage (i.e., BFF, LOL, etc.). A couple of the the terms they had to decode included POS: Parents Over Shoulder, and NATC: Nude At The Computer. Many parents are appalled that the teacher would send out such an assignment and believe she should be fired. She spoke with one parent, but the information that parent was given wasn't released.

What's your opinion?

I want kids right away, but most people who are married say to wait. Are they on to something?

I have an outside tank (new in 2002) which was installed by a sub-contractor for my oil company. They put in two 24x24 patio blocks on top of the earth then installed the new oil tank. I have noticed that at the end where the oil comes to the furnace is slanted into the ground about 4 inches. We have had it checked by the oil delivery person who told us that we need not worry about it. Today we had a professional come in to fix our propane fireplace line and he looked at the tank (which has nothing to do with the furnace) and told us that he would have it fixed because if it goes down anymore, it could really create a problem. The tank may fall. Any help in giving me the right answer of what has to be done. We have put in a call to the oil company and they are suppose to get back to me by phone today. I am quite concerned because we are talking quite a few gallons of oil leaning to one side of the tank.

He loves you more than you could know. He knows every little thing about you; what you dream about, what you think about, every single hair atop your head? Do you know Him?

Wwatching any kind of sport is boring to me. I would have joined the high school football team if I was athletic but now it's too late. The idea of slamming into people and knocking them down is cool, but sitting in front of a TV and watching guys run isn't exciting to me. Just wondering if there are other guys out that are like that.

Just went out on yet another date last night with yet another non-veg. The topic of "why are you veg" came up, and I can't help but suspect my responses were less than ideal for her. Oh well, I do it to myself. Anyway...veggiedate turns up one hetero female in the area, and her religion is a deal-breaker.

My college doesn't have a veg or AR club. Maybe I should start one? Maybe I should get some veg t-shirts to advertise myself? I've been told that I should cut my hair to make myself more appealing... http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc188/safetyhats/selfpic.jpg I'm hitting a spot of self-loathing atm, finding myself unattractive and weaker than I thought I was. For a long time I've been a strong enough individual to be alone, but I miss intimacy and I want to find someone with similar ideals. :(

To those of you who met an already-veg partner, how/where did you do it? Remember, we make up only 4% of the population.

This question is for people of all faiths or none at all. I am having trouble determining what the biblical position is though, and I would also appreciate an answer from a Christian on the biblical perspective.

Biblical quotes that support letting your good works be seen by others.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works.

1 Peter 2:12
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that ... they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Bible verses that support doing good works annonomously

Matthew 6:1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 23:3, 5
Do not ye after their works ... all their works they do for to be seen of men.
------------------------------
All answers are welcome, and I would also like to know if you base it on a personal or religious view.

Informal poll for moms out there. If you weren't close to your son growing up - how often do you hear from him as an adult? Do you have to initiate the contact or does he more often?

You are looking at a picture and try to describe it. I am sorry I cannot publish or don't know how to publish the picture with my question.

1.a) The man carries a bag.
1.b) The man is carrying a bag.

2.a) The crowd watches a game.
2.b) The crowd is watching a game.

Are both 'a' and 'b' correct?

Saying the word "god" does not mean that I caused your mother to force you to church. Please do n ot try to displace your weakness on me. It will never be fruitful for you. I use that word sometimes. I have made up my mind very emphatically, "I absolutely positively without a shadow of a doubt do not kinow if there is a god or not. NEITHER DO YOU.
So why not hang up your addictions. You will be in a position to move upward. stay as you are and you will stay as you are.
