This is a new thought that was put into my mind while watching a Discovery Channel show on Gamma Ray Bursts. A single Gamma Ray Burst from a dying start can completely incinerate a hole in our atmosphere, allowing the full force of the sun to hit the Earth over a given amount of time...When it happens it will completely white out the sky for a pretty good while, and then over a short time the Sun will begin to heat up the Earth. Anyone want to venture a guess as to how long they believe it would take to destroy 1/3 of the Earths life/vegetation ( green grass)? Around 3 and half years (a.e. the first part of the tribulation when everyone is being tricked by the son of perdition....That means that a Gamma Ray Burst could happen at the Rapture, we are all called up to be with him, then everyone here will be left. There was always a question as to what would cause 1/3 of the grass and all this stuff to happen, but it seems we finally have a decent hypothesis.

What does that mean, "in christ" !?
It may sound like a silly question but I actually don't get it. Is it just a way they remind you that they are christians and very religious people?

Ever since Lughnasadh (Lammas) and especially now around the equinox I suffer from depression every year. I can just feel everything dying, ebbing away, I can feel the life force diminishing and the darkness creeping in.
I have a feeling that every year I deal with this more and more difficult.
Is anybody affected in a similar way? What do you do/suggest?

I need some good advice. I currently live in Mo, and I have a sister who lives in Florida. She is having some difficult financial times. I thought about sending her a care package, and purchasing boxed food items from the store, and shipping it down there for her kids. I would get her a gift card, but I want to make sure that my investment goes to the right source. What would be the best way to do this? If I send her food items, I am concerned that the postage will cost more than the food in the box. What is the best approach? I want to help her as soon as possible. Thanks

Sometimes when I start the engine nothing will happen, just a little "click", as if the battery were dead. However, the needles in the dashboard flicker simultaneously , crazy...The car will start easily after I release my frustration by kicking the break padle and beating up the gear shifter...Lately it started to doing all the above while I'm driving, very scary...
Mechanics at a Jeep dealership told me they can't find anything wrong in the dash board, they would have to actually see when it happens, until then...nothing can be done!
I'm worried that the short might affect the power steering or power breaking?!
Has anybody ever experienced anything like this and how could you solve the matter?

When will the left stop their embrace of ANY and ALL entities that just so happen to profess Anti-Americanism?

Are they that incapable of value judgments?

I worked at a movie theater and it was the most disgusting thing ever. Maybe because I was caught off gaurd by how disgusting a movie theater could be. it smelled like old pickle brine, stale popcorn, and general filth. I felt like vomitting the entire time.
