I have heard this phrase a lot . . .

Now, I sneeze like a pathetic kitten (maybe why I sneeze 3 times not 1! see my previous Q!)

Without going into sordid details about my sex life, personally I can't see the correlation! ;-) lol

What do you think of this apparent 'scientific finding'??

A man walks into a bar and sits down, noticing a very little man about a foot tall playing a tiny grand piano.

"That is amazing! How is that possible?" he questioned the bartender.

The bartender, poured the man a drink and said "Here, I rubbed the magic beer bottle and a genie popped out. He said he'd grant me one wish...and here this little guy is...playing away."

The man rubbed the bottle, and sure enough, a genie came out.

"I shall grant you any wish you want."

The man says "Wow...Ok. I wish I had a million bucks."

**POOF!!**

All of a sudden there are a million ducks everywhere!

The man says "What the hell? This isn't what I asked for!"

The bartender says, "Yeah, you're tellin me. You think I wished for a 12 inch pianist?"

Okay, I am a proud Athiest. I have many god fearing friends and they all say that they love me but I am going to hell for not believing in God. But my thing is this, if there was a "God" and apparently is a loving and just God, could he/she blame me for not believing the story told throughout history? I mean the story is so far fetched. How the earth was made in Genesis, how Mary got pregnant, how Jesus arose from the dead, and so on and so forth. I mean the story sounds like a bad sci-fi book. So if there is a just and loving "God" wouldn't you think that even though a person doesn't believe in Him/Her but lives a moral life, that person would still go to "heaven"? It just doesn't seem fair...I don't know if this made sense to anyone but yeah...looking forward to reading your replies.

the "myths" section? Isn't this going against "teaching religion at school"? Also, I go to a public school, and I live in a pretty liberal, free-spirited community (not many fundies here), so why is it set up like that? It's kind of annoying that they don't have more respect for other religions...your opinions?

I came up with a .30 cal machine gun, but instead of being belt fed, it has a wheel with 8 box clips, each with 40 rounds. You have to pull on the op rod to turn the wheel and click in a new clip and cock it. Do you think this would be practical? and it would probably jam a lot less than belt fed browning .30s right?
My other idea is kind of the same but instead of manually cocking it, the recycled gas from one round makes the wheel turn, and cocks a round from the next clip, and the wheel keeps spinning fast using one bullet at a time from each clip. But that would probably jam easy and cause aiming issues right?

I am finishing a cloak out of cotton velour in a beautiful shade of jade. I love the material. However I was thinking about weatherproofing it and had several recommendations for Nikwax. Has anyone ever used weatherproofing? Did you like it? And do you know if cotton velour can be machine washed (as thats how you weatherproof it)? Thanks!

I was in the produce department (why does it always happen in the produce department?) when this cute young employee asked me if I was finding everything OK. I told him I needed to get some cheese. He took me to the other side of the store (I knew where the cheese was) and talked to me all the way. By the time we were there he wanted to know how old I was. I was 60 and he was 37! Then he told me he liked older women... I went home and told my husband. I thought it was pretty funny, but didn't go shopping there for a long time. He only lasted another month at that store. It sure made me feel good though!

I was in a car accident last night. I was coming around a steep curve at a very low speed and I glanced back into my rearview mirror because I thought that I seen something moving in my back seat....I was the only one in the car...but I glanced back only a split second and the next thing that I knew...I was trying to pull my car out of the ditch and I over correct and about hit the guard rail on the other side and I over correct again. my car fish tailed and hit the bank; rolled over and I was inside the car upside down but I managed to get out with no marks on me. I called my parents and the only thing that they could think about was the car and if it was salvagable or not? Keeping this in mind...what would you do?

I'm trying to help my aunt who got a notice in her visa card state-ment from chase, that said there'd be a new way of figuring her finance/interest & minimim payments, coming up. She called them for infor. on what this would mean for her so she could plan for any increase but the reps claim they dont know nothing about the form she got, no one will call her back, & she's lost as to where she can go to decipher the long complex printed & undated enclosure she got. I also don't know what to tell her. Where should I call to get help with the answer, then worry about major complaining at later date? Is there a consumer rights place or something? Anyone else get the notice, & how did u handle it? Hurry! Thanks.

I could really use a lot more help from the girl. 9 out of 10 times I'm taking out the trash, scrubbing the toilet, or doing the dishes. That is tolerable. What's getting on my nerves is being left out in the rain so to speak. I need her help to be a reliable roommate for her. She doesn't appreciate that I hate riding my bike home from work in a rainstorm at night, and insists that she's too busy to pick me up. I just hate the fact that she's comfortable with that situation. It tells me that she really resents something about me. What can I do for her to make her feel more inclined to be more helpful in my life?
