Society & Culture - 30 November 2007

I sent an email to my dad yesterday asking him what he and his girlfriend would like for Christmas (I never know what to get them). I expected his return email to ask me what I wanted for Christmas, because I had asked him. Well, apparently he's not so quick on the uptake, so I'm wondering how to drop a hint without sounding like a brat.

My sister (2 years younger than me) has already asked for snow tires for Christmas from him, and is driving down to his town to get them put on today. She has a better--more understanding (on his part) relationship with him, there has always been some animosity between he and I. I am trying to repair our relationship, so I want to be nice, and not demanding an expensive present (I just want a sweater from Garnet Hill). While my sister gets $400 snow tires, I'm afraid to ask for a $150 present because of what our past relationship has been like. He's always gotten my sister the better presents. How can I ask in a good way for what I want?

For your information:

- I personally don't belong to any religion eventhough, I went to an Anglican school and a Catholic school.

- I love the philosophy of Taoism.

- I also believe it's bad followers that make a religion look bad.

"Thousands of protesters demand execution of teacher who named Teddy Bear, Muhammed"

Sure, I get upset when I hear the Lord's name used as a swear word, but to demand someone's execution for it; not the way to make friends and influence people.

still thinks Shariah Law should be allowed? Do you think democracy can survive a belief that does not allow a class of 7 year olds to VOTE on the name of a bear?

Have a great day.

I was upstairs in my room and my mum was downstairs talking on webcam testing it.
She said she could hear noises so I came down and sure enough there was strange noises coming from my end of the webcam call.
It was as if someone was heavy breathing and whispering but we couldnt make it out at all.
Everytime we do a call again it is there.

We don't know if its a ghost or its just static but it sure is freaky.

Does anyone have any ideas how to record a webcam conversation or just the sound to see if we can hear anything?

Cheers

I've oftened wondered this and though we're told it is wrong, does it actually say in the Bible that we can't? If so, give me a scripture.

An older man goes for his yearly physical, with his wife tagging along.

When the doctor enters the examination room he says, 'I will need a urine sample, a stool sample, and a sperm sample.'

The old man, being hard of hearing, turns to his wife and asks, 'What did he say?'

The wife yells back to him, 'Give him your underwear!'

Osama was killed by a US bomb, and immediately found himself in a large room filled with fat middle aged men.

"Will the Star Trek Convention Klingon Council Break-Out Session now commence?"

Osama grew panicked, and ran out of the room, only to face Muhhammed himself.

"This is not the paridise I was promised in the Quoran."

"Yes it is...where did you expect I'd find you 72 virgins?"

Our town is having a contest on who can create the best float. The catch is you have to decorate a boat not a trailer. We are using a pontoon boat. Please let me know any creative ideas you may have!

The manager hired a new secretary. She was young, sweet, and polite.

One day while taking dictation, she noticed his fly was open. While leaving the room, she courteously said, "Oh sir, did you know that your barracks door was open." He did not understand her remark, but later on happened to look down and saw that his zipper was open.

He decided to have some fun with his new employee. Calling her in, he asked, "By the way, Miss Jones, when you saw my barracks door open this morning, did you also see a soldier standing at attention?"

The secretary, who was quite witty, replied, "Why, no sir, all I saw was a little disabled veteran, sitting on two duffel bags!"

I'm from the south, so I had never had apple cider.
A couple of years ago I was in the Florida Panhandle and it was freezing. Everyone was huddled around a fire and I was given a cup of hot apple cider, it was delicious.
I saw the man who prepared it put in a round packet of spices and have not been able to find out what the were are where you can purchase them.
I've looked around Wal-Mart and have never seen anything resembling that packet or anything that says hot apple cider spices.
Could someone from the great white north please clue me in? What am I suppose to season apple cider with?
I need an expert:~)

How do you feel about people "praying" to or holding pictures or statues of the Virgin Mary. Maybe even celebrating certain dates as Holidays that pertain to her life?

Surely you know about Satan's Secret Society 666 and how they are spreading throughout society like a cancer. They seduce, trick, even force people into playing and practicing occult games and practices which cause spiritual bondage to demonic forces and witchcraft. Then comes the secret ceremony assisted with witchcraft, Down the rabbit hole. The victim is forced to go through a transcendental meditation ceremony assisted with witchcraft. If you except the worship of there"Gods" and one is Lucifer then you become part of the brotherhood/family. This organization is better known as the burnt french fries were the deepest darkest recesses of pain and horror await them for eternity..
