My husbands family is coming over for thanksgiving I want to try to fit both religions into this holiday, even though I know it is not a religious holiday. They give thanks to God and I like to give offerings to the Goddess how i can combine the two without making anyone feel uncomfortable?

I just heard that Wal*Mart has learned it's lesson...they are going to dump the word "Holiday" and replace it with "CHRISTMAS" on all their Christmas items! About time! CHRISTMAS is all about CHRIST, so why shouldn't we say CHRISTMAS? What are your opinions?

Okay, here's my argument with that. If he knows what will happen, why does he bother to do anything? He could have avoided a whole fiasco by not offering the tree of life, yet he puts it in the garden, and allows Satan to roam there. Furthermore, why did he not just do away with Lucifer when he had the chance, before 1/3 of the angels got the idea to rebel? Surely he knew it was coming... If certain things are going to happen, and there is nothing that can be done about them, then what is the point of ever trying? If it happens, it's because it was going to happen. If it doesn't, it's because it was never going to happen.

I have heard different things. When everyone comes to a party or gathering and brings a gift (certain price range) and all presents go collectively into a 'pot' or under the Christmas tree....what is this called? What are the different types? Do you draw numbers and pick randomly?

What is this called? Chinese Christmas? White Elephant Christmas? etc....

What are some other fun ideas for a Christmas party?

having gastric bypass surgery is unChristian? I ask because I had it done several years ago and I was told it was going against God to have it done as it was vanity.

I actually feel a bit sorry for Becky Fischer, who trustingly let the cameras in. At the same time, I cried for those kids when I watched that movie, so I won't cry for her or her camp.

What do y'all think?

I've never taken a car to the car wash (isn't that what rain is for?) I never dyed my hair because I like the natural color including the grey strands. And I never owned a dishwasher; couldn't afford it when I actually needed one, and now I don't have space for one.

German sentence: "Der Terrorkrieger geniesst ein Gefuehl der Allmacht"

My translation: "The terrorist enjoys a feeling of almightiness"

My lecturer gave feedback to the class about this translation that we handed in last week and his suggestion for this sentence was "the terrorist enjoys a feeling of being almighty". He then said "and the person who wrote 'a feeling of almightiness' should take a long look at themself in the mirror!". I have no idea what's so wrong with my suggestion that it calls for group humiliation! Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!
