first off, im not gay and ive never done this before. Ive been told i need to be convincing. If possible it needs to look like im really a girl. Unfortunately im much taller than my girl friends and none of thier clothes fit me. I am on a budget and ive been told that just buying a costume to blend in with the rest of the female costumes is out. She has told me im on my own for the whole venture and that it needs to be good. How do i make this convincing? (at minimum she says i need to wear something knee length or a dress of some sort.) SHe has also convinced most of my other friends not to help me as most of them are girls. Im lost here where do i begin? she wont let me out of this. somebody help! please, only stuff to help me out here, i know its embarassing.

As I search through youtube, I find more and more pathetic videos featuring "new athiests" who seem more deluded than their fundemental Christian friends. No, I have no problem with Christianity, nor do I have a problem with Athiesm. I'm just sick of hearing:
"Well,um, I don't believe in God, uh, cause there is no proof of God, and, um [plays with hair], God isn't real, cause, um, I can't see him, and yea, I can't find proof he exsists so He must not exsist, and yea there isn't scientific evidence so God isn't real..God my nails are pretty."

I'd love some comments on this from a diverse community, just no evangelism (that includes athiests.)

The Last "days"(plural) are already past: 1-2000 AD;
If one day [is] as 1000 years, in 2Peter 3:8 "allegory".

It's now the third day is the seventh day is the last day.
In John 1 & 2:1 the third day is the seventh, if counting.

Revelation takes place on the seventh day,
evident from the seven benidictions therein;
For 18 spoken daily, but only 7 on Sabbath.

It seems the last day requires a Sabbath shewdown;
to determine which day, of twain, it will be for eternity:
The day of the LORD(LAW) vs The day of God(Grace).

Hint: Amos 5:18
The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
To what end is it("ministration of death") to you?

Hint: 2Peter 3 (Converted Peter, to scatter brained brethren)
We all are one should be "hasting" unto the day of God

Hint: Paul The Apostle to the Hebews(Babes) Chp 12:
When seeing, then it's an end "run", along with patience,
to the conclusion of the matter: Grace with you all. Amen.

I'm honestly interested in knowing what the basis for helping others would be if you don't believe in God--doesn't that go against Darwinian evolution? It seems illogical to not just be concerned with your own needs, if we are not connected in some higher way.

It seems that certain religions have contributed a lot to our idea of the right way to treat others--I just wondered what an atheist would say is the origin of their respect of humanity.

My question is a sincere wish for enlightenment--thanx for any insight you can give!

Two old pensioners are taking a trip down memory lane by going back to the place where they first met.

Sitting at a café, the little old man says, "Remember the first time I met you over 50 years ago? We left this cafe, went round the corner behind the gas works, and I gave you one from behind."

"Why, yes, I remember it well, dear," replies the little old lady with a grin.

"Well, for old time's sake, let's go there again. and I'll give you one from behind."

The two pensioners pay their bill and leave the cafe. A young man sitting next to them has overheard the conversation and smiles to himself, thinking it would be quite amusing to see two old pensioners at it. He gets up and follows them. Sure enough, he sees the two pensioners near the gas works. The little old lady pulls off her knickers and lifts up her dress.

The old man pulls down his pants and grabs the lady's hips, and the little old lady reaches for the fence. Well, what follows is 40 minutes of the most athletic sex the man has ever seen. The little old man is banging away at the little old woman at a pace that can only be described as phenomenal. Limbs are flying everywhere, the movement is a blur, and they do not stop for a single second. Finally, they collapse and don't move for an hour.

Well, the man is stunned. Never in his life has he ever seen anything that equates to this -- not in the movies, not from his friends, not from his own experiences.

Reflecting on what he has just seen, he says to himself, "I have to know his secret. If only I could shag like that now, let alone in 50 years' time!"

The two old pensioners have by this time recovered and dressed themselves. Plucking up courage, the man approaches the pensioner.

He says, "Sir, in all my life I have never seen anybody shag like that, particularly at your age. What's your secret? Could you shag like that 50 years ago?"

The pensioner replies, "Son, 50 years ago, that ******* fence wasn't electrified

I dont' see why not. How hard is it to learn? How hard is it to try? You can do anything if you approach it the right way and put some effort into it.

I've seen wimps become stronger than the rest. Shy guys become the most confidant and cool men. I've seen unattractive transform into really sexy. The uneducated into truly intelligent, logical and witty. The unpopular become the most known among everyone.

I've witnessed instant perfection, being able to pick something up (skills - machinery/tools/artistic... any skill) and have it mastered within minutes. I know it is possible to learn anything and everything, especially in modern times with instant access to information through the internet.

I also know God is here to offer His help and support especially when we need it the most.

I know anything is possible because i know God made it so.

So do you believe anything is possible? Because everything i just described is my own testament, that has been my life.

Your Mother is calling you.
Do you hear Her sigh
in the soft wind
dancing in the leaves?
Do you feel her tears
in the rains falling?
Do you see Her anger
when the lightening flashes
and the thunder roars?
Do you wish Her love
when you nourish your body
with her constant bounty,
when you refresh your spirit
in the comfort of Her beauty?
Your Mother is calling you.
How do you answer?

Whoopi showed how smart she is with her Mike Vic comment. Environment that he was in? I guess anyone who makes moonshine and sells it should get the same break and if they were raised around bootleggers not be prosecuted.

Recently I have noticed that many "Christians" on R&S have been giving some questionable answers, that sound more like condeming and judging rather than loving your neighbor. Remember Christ loved the sinners, and calls us to do the same. He said "those without sin cast the first stone". Remember we are to be persacuted for our beliefs, and turn our cheek, the way christ did. Please remember that all sin is weighed the same, they all were the reason for our saviors death. All of us have sinned, (lustful thoughts, afairs, homosexuality, lies, deciet, judging others, taking the lord's name in vain) I am not rightous just forgiven.
I pray before I write an answer to any question on R&S that God would give me the right words to say the help the person whom asked the question, and I pray for each one of you, so that God would reach and bless everyone who comes to this site. I ask that you would do the same? Are you catching flies w/ honey or lemon juice?

My husband is getting bored with his 20 yr. plus job and thinks that he would like to look for something else in his field that would be more or a challenge. I support him and am willing to move. My son (13) seems to be OK with the thought but my daughter (10) would not adapt very well. I'm in the process of getting information together since I have more time than my husband does. I have mixed feelings thinking that maybe we should totally trust God or seek ourselves for the information. It seems that the area we are thinking about moving to is just made for my husband's type of engineering work and the opportunities for our children would be greater for their futures. My husband and I are both so stressed out about not knowing what decision to make. A move could cause my daughter's anxiety to come back but she should learn that life is all about different changes-some good and some bad, right?

I have British and Australian pen pals, and they make simply grammar and spelling mistakes. Is making grammar and spelling mistakes common amongst the British and Australian. I think it is unusual inasmuch as English is their mother tongue.
