Society & Culture - 23 December 2006

I am trying to buy frugally. Our Xmas celebration is on New Years Eve, so I feel in no rush to buy presents in the next two days with the super tards that have taken over the mall this weekend. Do you think after Christmas prices on stuff like childrens toys will be higher or lower than before Christmas?

I'm not that kind of Italian, Why do people think that? My family in italy are cops, and hard workers. Why do people say "Oh your Italian?" Then treat me like I'm a thug when all I do is work hard to make a better life for myself. I forget them, but its getting annoying. Why do peopel think this way?

This seems like an old tradition that I've noticed in books.

'Il existe des données provenant des Etats-Unis qui montrent que les tailles des portions ont augmenté pour la plupart de 200 ou 300 % sur les trois dernières décennies.' I would like to know what the 'pour la plupart de' means. Please no online translations. :)

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day I thank You for my being able to see and
to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an
understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not
pleasing to you.

I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude Let me
make the best of each and every day to clear my mind s o that I can hear from
You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and
whimper over things I have no control over.
And It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to
do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me
strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of
encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their
way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those
who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without
sharing it with others I pray for those that don't believe

But I thank you that I believe. I believe that God changes people and God
changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every
family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their
homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every
eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation
greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees
it.

I did....

I took my $5,000 and spent it at stores that don't threaten firing employees for saying Merry Christmas.

I can't wait to see Best Buys sales numbers for this Christmas.

One of the 10 Commandments says to "remember the sabbath and keep it holy." Does Christ's new covenant do away with the 10 commandments, and the punishments for not following them.

Because I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath and Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.

I had a revelation last night that I am god. So please feel to now pray to the Abominable Grim Jack.

I am of course omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. I will answer all prayers sometimes “Yes”, sometimes “No” and sometimes “Wait.” And while I’m quite mercurial I can promise you that I’ll be a lot more moral than the god of the Bible.

That is all.

I was shopping today and a women brought her (what looked to be a 13 year old son) into the ladies restroom with her. They went into the stall together. I think that he is old enought to wait outside of the bathroom for her. It did not LOOK like he was handicapped so even if you were paranoid of him getting kidnapped dont you think that is way too old to accompany a parent into the opposite sex restroom.
There was a 13 year old girl in to bathroom and I thought her eyes were going top pop out of her head.
What do you think?
