I am addressing several invitations and wanted to know the proper protocol of addressing the envelope for long names. I am aware that if the names are too long, I indent three spaces for the second name on the second line. What I don't know is--do I move back over to the front of the line for the address or keep the enitre address indented.


Any help will be greatly appreciated!

My office co-worker either talks to herself, clicks her tongue, or whistles. It never goes beyond 2 or 3 minutes of peace and quiet unless she's away from her desk. What is the polite way to have her stop?

"Hitler was a Roman Catholic, baptized into that religio-political institution as an infant in Austria. He became a communicant and an altar boy in his youth and was confirmed as a "soldier of Christ" in that church. Its worst doctrines never left him. He was steeped in its liturgy, which contained the words "perfidious jew." This hateful statement was not removed until 1961. "Perfidy" means treachery... In his day, hatred of Jews was the norm. In great measure it was sponsored by two major religions of Germany, Catholicism, and Lutheranism."
http://www.secularhumanism.org/library/fi/murphy_19_2.html
Not unlike Hitler, Donohue and his organization, thinks he is a soldier of Christ but enjoys crucifying those who doesn't worship his ideologies.
Do not have any other gods before Me.
You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
Exodus 20:2–17
Is Donohue actually promoting his own version of a god?

...so you could experience firsthand what you've always had to take on faith until now?

Or if you don't believe in any afterlife, have you ever wished you could give some particularly sanctimonious believer a near-death experience, just so that when they regained consciousness you could say, "There...you SEE?!?! No angels, no afterlife -- you're MEAT!!! UNDERSTAND?!?!"

Since we know the Christ had knowledge of things that were to come in His Church don't you think He was aware of how much confusion and division leaving us only a Bible would cause due to personal interpretation don't you think He might have left us some other guidlines to follow? I mean our Countries fore fathers did not leave us just the Constituition but also a government. Would Christ not have done the same?

That was suitable for human habitation, how do you think we would divide up the land? Would we sell the land to whichever country could afford to purchase it? Or do you think the USA would move in and claim all the land for themselves??

Day 1.

Just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with not much to celebrate. When it came time to re-enact our wedding night, he locked himself in the bathroom and cried.

Day 2.

Today, he says he has a big secret to tell me. He's impotent, he says, and he wants me to be the first to know. Why doesn't he tell me something I don't know! I mean, he actually thinks I haven't noticed.

Day 3.

This marriage is in trouble. A woman has needs. Yesterday, I saw a picture of the Washington Monument and burst into tears.

Day 4.

A miracle has happened! There's a new drug on the market that will fix his problem. It's called Viagra. I told him that if he takes Viagra things will be just like they were on our wedding night. I think this will work. I replaced his Prozac with the Viagra, hoping to lift something other than his mood.

Day 5.

What absolute bliss!!.

Day 6.

Isn't life wonderful but it's difficult to write while he's doing that.

Day 7.

This Viagra thing has gone to his head. No pun intended! Yesterday, at Burger King, the manager asked me if I'd like a Whopper. He thought they were talking about him. But, I have to admit it's very nice - I don't think I've ever been so happy.

Day 8.

I think he took too many over the weekend. Yesterday, instead of mowing the lawn, he was using his new friend as a weed wacker. I'm also getting a bit sore down there.

Day 9.

No time to write. He might catch me.

Day 10.

Okay, I admit it. I'm hiding. I mean, a girl can only take so much. And to make matters worse, he's washing the Viagra down with whip cream and whisky! What am I going to do? I feel tacky all over....

Day 11.

I'm basically being screwed to death. It's like living with a Black and Decker drill. I woke up this morning hot-glued to the bed. Even my armpits hurt. He's a complete pig.

Day 12.

I wish he was gay. I've stopped wearing make-up, cleaning my teeth or even washing but he still keeps coming after me! Even yawning has become dangerous ...

Day 13.

Every time I shut my eyes, there's a sneak attack! It's like going to bed with a scud missile. I can hardly walk and if he tries that "Oops, sorry", thing again, I'll kill the *******.

Day 14.

I've done everything to turn him off. Nothing is working. I even started dressing like a nun but this just seems to make him hornier. Help me.

Day 15.

I think I'll have to kill him. The cat and dog won't go near him and our friends don't come over any more. Last night I told him to go and f... himself and he did.

Day 16.

The ******* has started to complain about headaches. I hope the bloody thing explodes. I did suggest he might try stopping the Viagra and going back on Prozac.

Day 17.

Switched the pills but it doesn't seem to have made any difference... Christ! Here he comes again!

Day 18.

He's back on Prozac. The lazy sod just sits there in front of the telly all day with that remote control in his hand and expects me to do everything for him. What absolute bliss!

Real excuses for the insurance company:

* A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

* The guy was all over the place. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

* I was driving my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before.

* As I approached the intersection, a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.

* The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.


* To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian

* An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.

* The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran him over.

* I saw the slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car.

A puppy grows into a dog. A flower seed grows to be a flower. It is the same with all life on earth. This the way God created them. Why would his creation of humans be any different? He is our father right? Are we not his offspring?

If we are God's children, then when we grow and mature will we not have the potential to someday be like him? Is this not his plan? Does he not love us?

The key word here is potential.

I always read posts saying what "Christians" believe and don't believe, and most of them by protestants who seem to think the name "Christian" only applies only to them and not Catholics or Eastern Orthodox. My questions is: How can a group that represents less than 20% of all Christians say what Christians believe? Here are some simple facts:

The total number of Christians in the world is: 2.1 billion. This is how it breaks down:

1) Catholics: 1.3 billion
2) Eastern Orthodox: 0.4 billion
3) Protestansts (Baptists, Lutherans, etc. etc): 0.4 billion

In light of these statistics, how can a group that represents less than 20% of Christians say what Christians believe? And, more than that, among themselves they argue endlessly because that small group is divided into hundreds of "denominations" who all disagree on doctrines. Yet they claim that the Holy Spirit guides them when they read the Scriptures. The arrogance is stupifying. I have never a good reply to this.
