I used to work in an office with this person who made it her personal mission to proof read every letter we sent out for typos. Then, instead of quitely editing them, she would make a huge fuss about it and get on us about the poor image we were giving. This was not part of her job, she just took it upon herself to do this and clearly enjoyed pointing out the mistakes of others. Most of us in the office found it extremely annoying.
So one day she had to mail out invitations for this very high class fundraiser we were hosting. They were sent to all these very well-off sponsors of the non-profit we worked for. One of the lines in the invitation was supposed to say "to serve the public interest" but she wrote:
"TO SERVE THE PUBIC INTEREST".

She failed to proof read her own work and mailed them all out like this.

It was around 2:00 a.m. coming home from a hospital. On one side is a Jewish cemetery and the other side is a Catholic one and then the hospital, so no homes for miles, also no hills either. I heard the cry of some animal not coyote, dog,or cat but otherwise, and people coming out of the hospital commented on how strange it was too?

What could it have been? No. Didn't see anything.

It was uneartly and a bit scary.

I'm Gay, a Child of God, a follower of Jesus Christ - rejected and despised by men - gay and straight, religious and unbeliever alike. No one accepts me for who and what I am - except my wonderful BF and my terrific family!!

But can we call a moratorium on all the gay questions please?!? I'm really having trouble understanding all the fascination with my sexual orientation, maybe someone can explain it to me???

Someone made a random statement and put a question mark behind it. I made a similar opposing statement and asked "what's your question?" and got blocked!

I've been blocked a couple of times on the Politics & Government site & understand small minded pettiness in THAT arena.

I'm new to R & S though and thought pepole here might be a little more open and understanding.

Does this happen a lot on R & S?

I'd rather not have him right behind be to be honest... especially not if he was feeling lustful.

Do you really think God is going to send you to hell if your not a Christian? Why thats just silly.

i mean think of it... if there is a god. and he placed us here in his image... because we were his favorites.....does that mean we are all... just an experiment like in his zoo?.....
i mean ... look at all the organisms that came first... fish, dinosaurs (multiple periods) of course the angels...and then if you factor in aliens.....are we all just part of his zoo when hes bored? do he and jesus walk thru and hit all the creatures with popcorn and peanuts and laugh?

They're always telling each other to "drink"... It seems like kind of a strange hobby.

Think about it.... life as we know it started in africa, hence the 'black' part of it. AND, women give birth to men, not the other way around, making women the source of all life on earth.

ok so i moved up temporarily into a management position and a girl got my position while i was out. I didnt like it and i told my manager i didnt think she was ready. i realized i didnt need to be the person telling my boss what she was doing wrong so i changed my attitude and tried to help the girl and encourage her even though she was very very rude to me, i brushed it off and tried to be the bigger person

. Anyhow today im trying to help her out and give her an easier way to do things && an hour later my boss calls me and tells me to quit calling her and leave her alone. i promise you folks i was nice to her and never was rude, she hates that i have been @ the company a lot shorter time then her and moved up faster, but this is ridiculous. should i keep my mouth shut from now on

? what can i do to make my boss see im not a troublemaker (she didnt imply i was but it seems to me like i am lol)

I need the words "Little love" and "love" translated into Russian, which I can do. The only problem is, I can't read Russian. Is there any FREE translator out there that can romanize the words? Or turn them into words that use the Latin alphabet (A, B, C, Exc...)

If so, prove it. If he does exist, why has 'he' done NOTHING to help our world in times of need. Most events some call 'miracles' are not gods work at all, but merely the miracle of life. If god truly existed, he would at least HELP with wars, starvation, ruthless killing, deformities, disease, drug addiction, retardation, suffering, poverty.... the list goes on and on. This so-called god has not lifted a finger to aid us, and yet sooooo many belive he is truly there. Ever hear the quote, "I sell phony goods to people of meager intelligence and great faith"? That applies. Think about it

Lila Khalid is an atheist,and most of the west bank professional-level types describe themselves as atheist. How much of this conflict is actually religious?

I'm an athiest and have listened to his garbage for years. Now Pat Robertson now supports Rudy for President...Rudy is pro-gay, and pro-gay marriage.

Pat Robertson claims "God" talks to him, and claims he has a annual one on one conversation with "God". Of course, Pat's prophecies rarely come true.

And now Pat supports a pro-choice/pro-gay marriage candidate for President??? Pat for years has claimed God was gonna wipe out cities, and even nations, becuase they supported gay marriage.

Pat Robertson is a wolf in sheep clothing. He's so fake.
