(I only want answers for the queen consort because a more important queen would surely have much more to do seeing as she takes the place of a king. ) I already know that shes the wife of a king and usually doesn't have much power unless it's granted to her by the king or by the law, but I am starting a book and while thats not most important thing I need to know, its still something major. I know a queen doesn't just sit back and brush her hair all day, so just what does she spend her time doing?

And will not be seeing them over the Christmas period?

I live in England, and my daughter and family live in OHIO - USA, I get to see her as often as I can, one a year if I can get a cheap flight. I wonder how many others are like me, I keep intouch with her over the net and via telephone, but its at times like this the distance seems so great.

Police Excuses ...
Im sorry officer...i was going down the hill and didnt realize that my foot was still on the gas pedal...causing me to speed.

when you get pulled over for going through a red light say "im sorry officer, i thought it was a christmas decoration"

I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are not other cars around, that's how far ahead they are!

Sorry, Officer, I didn’t realize my radar wasn’t plugged in.

I was speeding to to get you to notice me so we could exchange numbers!!( 4 speeding tickets)

im sorry officer...i just got brest implants and wearing a seatbelt hurts...
sorry officer well you see what happened is when i reached for my crack pipe my gun fell off my lap getting lodged under the gas pedal forcing me to speed out of control
Sorry officer...I'm from Canada.
"I'm sorry Officer, but I already have a date!"
"But Officer, I couldn't have been driving 60 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour zone. I haven't been driving for an hour!" A true excuse by a little old lady.
No thanks...i gotta drive
Ooh officer i'd love to wear ur handcuffs for awhile but...i really have to get home! my husband is going to find my lover locked in the basement
Please ociffer, i swear to drunk im not god.
Sorry Officer, i ran over a banana peel
OOOOhh your a policeman?!?!? I thought you were just another speeder!!! I was trying to get away so you didnt hit me!
"I'm sorry officer but dunken donuts is right ahead not here."
Sorry officer, I was trying to kill a bug under my gas pedal (For speeding tickets)
If I was speeding, you probably where speeding to catch me, so how bout we forget abut the whole thing!
I'm sorry I was speeding officer but I have diarrhea.
So that’s what those signs are there for.
(Running a stop sign) I’m sorry officer; I thought the sign said POTS. (Dyslexic)
I'm sorry, Officer, but my child has to use the bathroom

like pray to mary, use a cross, and call someone on earth father... i heard they basically edited canons around 300 a.d. and made the bible.. and kept out a few books.. i know people argue about 'lost books' and all that crap on t.v. but, there are books that were regarded as truth by the church, even in 300 a.d., but that were only to be shown to church elders and not the general congregation.. mainly, i guess, if youre catholic, was just wondering about the first part..

I am a young girl and it confuses me alot when people do this. The Old Testament is very confusing. The New Testament is more understandable.

Does anyone else agree!?

This is my first "real" Christmas, so I don't know exactly what that is supposed to smell like, so I started baking last night. I have made fresh baked bread and cinnamon rolls, and have had a nice hearty beef stew going in the crock pot all day. I have so many apple scented candles burning in my house it looks like a black mass. Everyone who comes over is getting peppermint tea (with schnapps) and the only thing I can think of that I left out is pine smell. Should I just mop the bathroom, kitchen and entry way tile with Pine-Sol and forget about it?

I mean it is a rival myth to the Christian myths and it’s not doing anything to strengthen the hold of the Christian myths over the populace…or is it? Do you think it might be because the Santa myth helps children become conditioned to the notion of accepting as truth absurd concepts which are without evidence? And the Christian leaders are aware of the common practice in society where children reach a certain age and they discover that the Santa myth is just make believe for kids but the Christian myth make believe for grown-ups?

I have some very dear friends who send these Christmas letters out every year, designed to be so cutesy like a little corporate newsletter and cheery graphics--there's even a column written by their cat, for godssakes. I will never tell them how I actually feel, but I have to finally vent about this. Don't get me wrong, if I get a Christmas letter giving updates about a distant relative's health or something, I'm grateful for the information. But if I read one more "article" about their son's perfect grade point average, or how the whole family is learning Japanese "for fun," I'll puke! Please tell me I'm not alone.

...someone refute Jesus was born tomorrow because he'd have died of exposure? Because, you know, it's cold in winter?

I'd just like to point out the Middle East isn't known for its harsh winter storms. Judging by the weather forecast for Bethlehem today, it's about room temperature.

So, with that in mind, do you think we should excommunicate this guy from the Big Secret Atheist Clubhouse, for making us look stupid?

So my last job was rediculous (I've quit but there still arises problems). All the employees acted like they were in high school, bringing on the drama whenever they had the chance. I worked in a kitchen at an old folks' home. So I always had to watch what I gave some people to eat or drink. some of the people even needed special eating utensils. One of my co-workers went so far as to hide one set of special utensils. And of course an "I dont know what your talking about" came up when i aksed what happened to them? Well I quit after about two weeks of that bullshit. Now i still needed to get my paycheck. I went in yesterday to the office. The office said, if you know where the checks are, go ahead back and get your check. Don't forget to show me on the way out. Ok, great. I go back, and all the people I hate are working. I go to check where the checks are and the Main drama queen comes to defend. She goes what are you doing? I say sorry, thats not your business but i have permission

What if they were above the Arctic circle in Northern summer when Ramadan occurred.
The sun doesn't set for 6/8 weeks
That would mean they couldn't eat or drink for 28/9 days.
We are told that the message has been sent everywhere and those that don't believe will go to hell.
Maybe the Inuit and Laps would rather burn than starve or thirst.
