Poetry

Aye, Captain
and good lads and lasses,
a well-fed, pot bellied crew are we,
Set sail each day on these windless doldrums,
Cargo hold filled to capacity.

Ports of call where no ship can anchor,
Bottomless abyss of minds in torpor,
Some high as a kite,
Some a long, drunken stupor,
Then Stoogie arrives with his old pooper scooper.

No ill intent or foul wishes for thee,
Just a joke with rhyme akimbo,
Monkey-parrot devil-dog erasers,
We patrol this strange sea for the lost,
on our good ship, three masted
Will-o'-the-wisp chaser, her name?
“Poetry”

I just got satellite TV and Animal Planet, so I am watching various animal rescue programs. :)

My question is to those who have pets of their own and foster pets waiting for a new home. How does the frequent introduction of a non-permanent new pet influence the exsisting household balance? Is it something your pets get used to or do you go through the same transition periods that all regular pet owners experience 99% of the time when introducing a new pet? And how do the household pets react once the foster pet has left for its new home?

Much is being said with regard to the birth of the Lord Jesus, His incarnation. In Love the Lord has asked us to Remember Him by partaking of the Bread which represents His body broken for us and by drinking the Wine which not only represents His blood shed for our redemption, but also this cup is a cup of blessing,the New Covanant.
Why is it so crucial to remember the Lord in THIS way?
Have we seen that to the Lord this is the best way to remember Him? This Table testifies that we are One with the Lord and one with all the other believers.
There is another table that is mentioned in the bible. It is the " table of demons" This is associated with Idolatry.
1 Cor 10:20-22
No, but that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God and I do not want you to BECOME those who have fellowship with demons
You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the demons' cup you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the demon table.
Whose table is Christmas?

I currently live with a bunch of flatmates and last night the guys went out, came back to the flat and started basically discussing using girls. This really surprised me for some of them, as they all seem nice guys. Why do men feel the need to brag about sex and treat girls like **** (or at least discuss them as such)? Is it some need to be macho or something?

I have a Ford Escort LX 97. I left the dome light turned on for 8 hrs and when I tried to start my car back it worked but I needed a couple of tries (so the battery was low I presume).
I drove for 2hrs and the day after I couldn't start my car.
Jumpstarting worked fine. I got my battery tested and it said battery perfect. Two days after I couldn't jump start the car again.
I towed the car to a mechanic and he said my motor is locked up and basically I have to change car. He said he cant know the cause because he doesn't know the history of the car but he suspects no oil in the engine,
I never noticed any leaks and I changed oil recently.
Is it possible to lock up an engine without noticing it? How could I have driven till home with a locked engine?
Better tow the car somewhere else before throwing it away?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Okay, sorry about the R&S reference, but I think most regulars are familiar with Fireball's tendancy to classify questions as unworthy of the R&S section, and it leads me to question how pervasive religion really is in people's lives.

This morning, someone asked about the religion of the Omaha mall shooter. Constantly we are being asked about the faiths of Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee and George Bush. Often such questions are deemed inapropriate to the section because they supposedly belong in Current Events or Politics or whatever. BUT, if your religion is supposed to inform your every decision, then shouldn't ALL questions be in the R&S section? Shouldn't the devout Christians be coming here to find a baby name that brings glory to God or to determine what car - if any - is most in line with the spiritual teachings of their particular sect? Can we not assume that any question asked here is looking for a spiritual perspective, or does the question need to ask "what would

I made my first batch of caramel last night, & the recipe called for allowing the mixture to come up to temp without stirring, but when I poured it onto the pan, there was some burnt sugar on the bottom of the pot that did effect the flavor of the candy. It was a very heavy bottomed pot.

Would stirring it while cooking do anything harmful to the batch? Any other suggestions for avoiding this problem? Thanks in advance.

If you are a guy, tell me how you are gentlemanly to ladies. If you are a girl, tell me if you want a guy to be chivalrous to you. Any opinion would be welcome, including why you think chivalry should no longer be displayed, or why you think some girls get mad when a guy becomes chivalrous, or what kind of etiquette do you wish guys had...etc. :P Thanks!

In order to complete my holiday yard decor, I am in need of about 12-20 one (1) gallon milk cartons I plan to make some cut outs on the cartons, fill with a bit of sand and place a tea candle inside to create a holiday lite drive way. A former subdivision of mine did this throughout the subdivison and it was beautiful. Any suggestion as to where I may locate the milk cartons other than the store I would be appreciative. I don't drink milk and would hate to waste 12-20 gallons of milk. Thanks for your reply and Merry CHRISTmas!

I got in my car this morning and didn't give it much time to warm up before I left. The temp outside was 18. By the time I got on the highway the light was blinking so I went home and turned my car off and then turned it on again and there was no light. Could it just be being weird or is something wrong? The temperature gauge took a long time to start moving to the middle too.
