Good morning, I think I saw some sunshine or it may be my imagination, don't know which yet.

[CaliforniaJosiah]

Now being Lutheran and being half German, it's important that I get into the culture....


I like brats. But in a bun (too rich to eat otherwise) and I don't want onions on it. Just a bit of brown mustard.

Don't look at my age.
With a beer. NOT Bud but a Sam Adams. I had a German beer or two (or...) but so far, they've all been too light and watery. I like my beer to taste like beer.
I told you NOT to look at my age!!!


I don't think much of red cabbage or sauerkraut.
Not too into all that sausages either (except the brat in a bun).

Don't like the um-pa music.

German girls tend to be cute. Lutheran girls, in general, are the best looking of any denomination - a real plus Lutherans don't stress enough.

German cars tend to be nice, but pricy and complicated. I like my Toyota.

[QuiltAngel]

Happy Birthday Josiah! May your day be happy and blessed!

As far as German beers, think Bavarian dark, that is when you are old enough ;)

Also, the cabbage/kraut is different in Germany than we have here, but I am with you on that.

Umpa music is a traditional music more from Bavaria. The kids these days over there like Techno, Rock and Pop.

Ok, guess I have spent time there as well is my daughter who lived there for one year as an exchange student and is on her way back over there for a university study abroad semester.

Josiah, being in Catholic and Bapticostal country, it seems they don't tend to think that here.

Actually, one of the most popular car makes for German Americans was Studebaker. In fact, that goes for Scandinavians as well (LOL)! That's why the company produced more pickup and commercial trucks than any other auto manufacurer in the '40s and '50s. In fact, I have it on good authority that, during WWII, the German Army's most favourite captured prize was 'Der Schtuden-Baker'. They really liked those 6X6s.;)

Ok, ok, Old Studeclunker'll shut up now (LOL)! :D :D

But if you haven't yet, you must try Yuengling (cheers, DaRev).

If Lutherans ever start doing TV commercials, you know like the Mormons and Methodist, they should do a scan across the college group in several Lutheran congregations - revealing a LOT of really, really cute girls (which should be very easy to find in any Lutheran congretation). Doesn't matter what is said during this commerical, no guys will be listening, just be sure to put the word "LUTHERAN" predominately on the screen during these scans.

Attendence will jump (all males, but that's okay), creating GREAT opportunities for evangelism and church growth.

I don't know what the "anti-church growth" Lutherans would think of this approach, I just know it would work.

New one, I didn't know that.

I had been told the ELCA pastors tend to buy Volvos (but only if they are registered Democrats).

One of my DREAM CARS is a 1964 Avanti. I guess I fit right in. Others are a '63 Corvette and a '65 Jag XKE. Sounds like I'm one cool guy, huh? Of course, what I actually DRIVE is a white, 4 door Toyota Camry sedan with a 4 cyclinder engine and an automatic. And I actually like it. :sleep:

That must be St. Paul's problem!!! We don't have enough single females! Let's see. . .there's me and Kristen. We're the ones that tend to "always" be there. . .unless we have to be out of town or are sick. . .

Sometimes there's Erika and Christina.

Then, there's Marissa, but she's just in 9th grade at the moment!

Then, we get to the younger girls. . .like 10 and younger.

No wonder we have such problems ;) :P ;)

The problem with cute Luthern girls seems to be that the Luthern men know a good thing when they see it. Hence, most of them are taken. 'Course, as old as I am, it would'nt do me any good in any case...;)

[Studeclunker]

C'mon now, be nice(LOL)! How do you think that YOU would look after being shut up in a shed for twenty-five years (LOL)???:D :D :D That picture was taken the day she was liberated from the shed. Though, I must truthfully admit, she doesn't look a whole lot better yet. I'm trying to get the mechanicals in order before working on body and paint. Still, she's fifty-one years old (like me) and looks pretty good for a survivor (unlike me). Just give me a year or two and she'll look more like this:

[TexasCajun1971]

my mom was very German and very Lutheran.

[Studeclunker]

You know, it's funny really. My Grandmother was of German decent. Her mother came from Frankfurt am Main. In fact, the Hiemfardts were Hessian mercinaries during the American Revolution. Unwillingly on the wrong side... but I degress.
My Grandfather was of English and some Irish decent. Well, he was a major jerk too, but that's beside the point.
My Grandmother one time took me aside an evening, when my Grandfather was pontificating on his family's background, and told me the following;
"My dear, let me tell you something," she said pulling me into her lap and cuddling with me. An unusual and welcome priviledge. "You have a delightfully mixed background. On your father's side there's the Sioux indian people, and lots and lots of Irish. On our side is lots of German, some Irish, and not enough English to hurt."

No offense to the English in this forum. Had you known my Grandfather you might have agreed with the old dear.
Nonetheless, my Mum spent a lot of time in England prior to the war as she was quite the beauty. She modeled in Marshal's department store in Michigan and in two big stores in London. WWII ended that. In fact, she barely got back. The Gerrys (as she called them) started attacking shipping just after her ship sailed from Southhampton.
Not surprisingly our household, whilst I was growing up, was very British. When Dad bought the ranch it was like a weird cross between Green Acres and Have You Been Served.

[Jim47]

Well I'm a mxture as well. I'm not sure what order but I would gues English-Irish-Cherokee Indian and German. I wished I were more indian, but we don't get those choses to we? :)

My childhood was very good. I spent a lot of time with my Dads father and mother and a fair amount of time with my other grand parents. They actually lived right accros the road from each other. The Cheokee comes from my moher side, and her maiden name was Savage. I don't know how that come about, I would guess it was picked up as a slang name that was handed them, which is kind of sad. Ameican Indians were certainly no worse then other people, but it seems that as America grew the lot of have had our bias on all sorts of people. :sigh:

My favorite TV shows when I grew up were cowboy and Indian shows. Real action shows without all the filth of what we have now days. Then as I became a eenager their were a lot of WWll shows, I liked those too. As it is I wantch less and less TV and send more and more time here. The fellowhip is nice, I have grown to really know all you folks as my brothers and sisters. :)

[C.F.W. Walther]

I'm American with Irish-English ancestors and some Cherokee. My sister-in-law is the geneology nut in the family. I'll have to find out from her who the relatives are from way back.

[LilLamb219]

I have a completely Irish name but not an ounce of Irish in me! I'm mostly German but I have some French, Swiss, Polish, and Austrian in me as well.

[seajoy]

I'm German, mixed with stubborn German on my dad's side :) .

[porterross]

I'm predominantly Scottish from both sides. There is a bit of Irish and English mixed in, but only one German great-great grandfather in the lot that we know of.
We are Lutheran by choice and logic, not heritage.

[DaRev]

On my father's side, predomninately English.

On my mother's side, predominately Irish.

There's some Scotch-Irish, Dutch, and German mixed in for good measure.


...and my congregation is Slovak!!

Nazdravie!!!

[QuiltAngel]

Mostly German with some Slovak.

[Flipper]

I'm mostly Irish with a little German on my mom's side, and mostly German with a little Mexican and I don't know on my dad's side.

Found about the Mexican part 4 years ago. My grandma claimed to be half Castilian Spaniard and half "Robertson." She said her mother came from a prominate family in Mexico from Spain. After she died, we went to visit her sister, my great-aunt, in Las Vegas a few months later. She told my husband and I stories about suffering discrimination growing up because they were half Mexican. Huh? I asked, and yessiree, I have Mexican blood - about 1/8, I reckon. Funny, my skin is so pale I wear the lightest shade of makeup foundation and my eyes are blue. I guess the German/Irish side of me is most prominent. I do have a never ending craving for "authentic" Mexican food and tequila drinks, so maybe there's something there...

My maiden name is German, and my married name is German. Ironically, my first name is Latin. Hmmmm. Husband is full German on his dad's side (he has cousins still in Germany) and Welsh/Cherokee on his mother's. Where he grew up is almost predominately German descent.

[KagomeShuko]

I think it was my maternal grandfather's parents that came from Lithuania. . .but maybe it was his grandparents. . .wish he could remember. . .that came from Lithuania. My maternal grandmother was German. Thus, my mom is half German and half Lithuanian.

My paternal grandparents were mostly German (well, my grandmother is still alive) and I know my dad said that he had a grandmother (or was it great grandmother) that spoke only German that died when he was 5 years old.

Yeah, wish I knew more about my heritage. . .or er. . .HAIR (*grabs hair*) a tage ;) than I do. . .but at least I know some!

The SELC District of the LCMS was originally the Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church (later called the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches). It merged with LCMS in '71.

Duh! I forget about that as it was before I joined any Lutheran denominations. I was raised Presby, then joined an LCA church for a few years and when met and married hubby I joined the LCMS. My mother was raised LCMS but joined Presby when got married, my grandparents were thrilled when I married a man who was to become an LCMS Pastor as 3 of her 4 children left the Lutheran church.

My siblings have gone many different directions which makes things interesting.

[Studeclunker]

Flipper, you have blue eyes all round. The Castillian background would give a tendency toward blue eyes as well. Did your great Aunt, or Grandmother, have blue eyes? That would lend creedance to your Grandmother's claim as well. If she were a Mestiso, or crossed Mexican, her eyes would have most likely been brown. The Mexican families that have claim to Spannish or Castillian roots are exceedingly proud of it.

You know, there was a saying my mother would quip from time to time. She would smile wryly and say, "My dear, you can tell a German all you want... But you can't tell them much."

[seajoy]

i just got back from my doctor's appt. my shoulder isn't much better, it hurts and i can't move it straight out to the side, away from my body.

i'll be off work until at least feb. 5th. we'll see after that. i'm not supposed to type or write...so when i'm around here, i won't be saying too much.

However, the few black and white pictures of Mama Sita I have, show her with lighter skin, but black hair and dark eyes. I don't know. My dad has blue eyes, but a completely different shade of blue than what I have.

My eyes are shaped like my mom's, and the shade of blue is the same as my grandfather on mom's side (mom has green eyes).

Has anyone tried sauerbratten? My Grandmum used to make it. She didn't often cook. But when she did it was always good. Made her own sauerkraut as well. She always had a crock of it working. My Grandfather used to complain about the German dishes, so she had Mr. Wong (their houseboy) do his cooking. Boy, could he make a killer pizza. It was to die for!:swoon: :D ;)

I've read my fifth book of the year. . .hey, that also means of the month.. .so far.. .I'm glad to get back to reading! Having the library fix all the mistakes with fees helps a lot so I can actually check out books that I want to read!

Oh, goodness. . .I just realized that my hair is now longer than the hair that my CF character has. I know my hair is not all that blonde, but it looks blonder when shorter. However, it is still too icky to get it cut as if need be I can put it down to keep warm, though I usually keep it up when it is so long so it doesn't tangle so easily.

I just turned 49, don't have to dye my hair, only have a few gray hairs and I get people asking me all the time if I dye it, I tell them no and they don't believe me. Its a genetics thing going my mom is 68 and doesn't have a whole lot of gray hair either.
i've been coloring my hair since i was about 26. i just made the decision to let the gray come. after all, i've earned every one of those grays!

this is kinda scary for me...i'm afraid i'll look old. guess i'll have to change my cf character in a couple of months.

You silly silly man you! I didn't have my clothes stolen, I'm working up the courage to be a nudist! LOL


"Has anyone tried sauerbratten?"

I had it while i was in Germany in '85, not 1985, just 85! LOL

You're so lucky! I had hormonal problems in my 30's that really made my hair go grey fast. I have more than my mom so I definitely have to dye my hair!

[Jim47]

My hair has been grey for a long time, but at least I still have it. :P

Helps to keep the ole head warm Ya know. :) Wished I had more hair on my feet cause they are always cold. ;)

Very cool.

My dad was gray by 30. Mom is 60 and the gray she has is so even that her hair just looks lighter. I guess I got inbetween because there's enough gray for me and my hairdresser to notice, which is enough to want to color it.

[Flipper]

I've read my fifth book of the year. . .hey, that also means of the month.. .so far.. .I'm glad to get back to reading! Having the library fix all the mistakes with fees helps a lot so I can actually check out books that I want to read!

Oh, goodness. . .I just realized that my hair is now longer than the hair that my CF character has. I know my hair is not all that blonde, but it looks blonder when shorter. However, it is still too icky to get it cut as if need be I can put it down to keep warm, though I usually keep it up when it is so long so it doesn't tangle so easily.

Stein Auf!
Bridget

Keep it long as long as you can!!

I finally had to cut mine because it was so thick and heavy it gave me headaches - it got a little more than half way down my back by then. I'm trying to grow it now, but every stylist I go to keeps wanting to layer it to death, so for me to grow it, I just have stop going to get it cut.

My husband was balding, so after trying a bunch of things (the long hair in back hippy look, the Hair Club for Men weave look), he just shaved it Bruce Willis short.

He definitely complains about the cold more now. And when it rains, he says it's almost painful, because he can feel every drop. So now we have a collection of hats, skullcaps and such for him.

As for grey, I am only now beginning to notice a little silvery glint. My hair was tow-blonde as a child, and only darkened once I was a teenager. My sister has always had dark hair, and her grey showed up much earlier and much more prominently than mine.

No idea if I'll dye it. Probably eventually. Don't need to yet.

[jcj3803]

Now being Lutheran and being half German, it's important that I get into the culture....


I like brats. But in a bun (too rich to eat otherwise) and I don't want onions on it. Just a bit of brown mustard.

Don't look at my age.
With a beer. NOT Bud but a Sam Adams. I had a German beer or two (or...) but so far, they've all been too light and watery. I like my beer to taste like beer.
I told you NOT to look at my age!!!


I don't think much of red cabbage or sauerkraut.
Not too into all that sausages either (except the brat in a bun).

Don't like the um-pa music.

German girls tend to be cute. Lutheran girls, in general, are the best looking of any denomination - a real plus Lutherans don't stress enough.

German cars tend to be nice, but pricy and complicated. I like my Toyota.


;)



- Josiah
You don't like sauerkraut? Must be your non-German half. Try it on your next brat - that might work for you.

My oldest son, who is half German (almost) and half Finnish (almost) with a touch of Swede and English thrown in finds Asian women to be the most attractive. Maybe that's because his mom and my significant other are both mainly German?

I've owned two BMWs. Routine maint. visits are in the $700 to $800 range around here. But there were the best driving cars I've ever experienced, bar none.

There isn't anything wrong with hair color, nor not coloring. Its the inner beauty thats the most important. The older I get the more realize that. Also makes a good excuse for why I don't have to lose weight :D

Let's see...

My hair is graying... at 44.
Thinning on top too.

I don't like sauerkraut.
Not to crazy about cabbage, which is a toughy being in a Slovak congregation with all that halupki and halushki. (I can stomach the halupki, though!:D )

Perogi's are my favorite Slovak delicacy. :thumbsup:

[Flipper]

I had Sauerbraten at the Stone Hill Winery restaurant in Hermann.

My personal favorite is Schnitzel & Spaetzel at the Iron Barley: http://www.ironbarley.com/ Heart attack on a plate and worth every bite.

[TexasCajun1971]

mien mutter vas Deutsch.

I can eat and enjoy most German food. Esp sence I live in San Antonio and am surrounded by the German populations of the Texas Hill country. and yes I eat wurst und saurtkraut mit mustard. Good stuff.

[LilLamb219]

All the moderator trainees ... beware.

I think Jim is going to have a fun time with you, me and Da Rev...in jest I'll call us the 3 Stooges...but just don't make me be Curley!

Sauerkraut is gross, IMHO.

I will eat braised red cabbage in red wine and sugar.

I don't like my hair too long . . .and I don't like it too short. I never like it any shorter than about an inch above my shoulders (shoulder length is my best, I think, but I like getting it cut that inch above).

I like my long hair at times, but it's so much hassle and often times it is very hot in Louisiana. . though it can be fun at times. However, I just tend to keep it tied back when long, too. . .it's right above my behind at the moment. . .which is quite long for me. . .

I never used to get my hair cut when I was younger. I had always liked it long.

As for all this talk of dying hair, my mom says that when she goes gray, if she's going to dye her hair, she's going to dye it bright blue so she can say to people, "What, I'm just a little ol' blue-haired lady!"

We love it!

[QuiltAngel]

Bridget,
If you ever do cut it, think about donating to Locks for Love.

[Jim47]

Thanks for the well wishes, but I am really thankful for LilLamb, Edial and DaRev for braving it and applying as Mods. I also would like to thank you all for pulling our forum back together again as 1 big happy family. I think you are all great folks and I think of you as my own true and personal friends. Its also very nice to have some new members here and returnee's ;) The More the Merrier :thumbsup:
I ask you all to work with our new Mods peacefully. As you all should know by now, its matters not a twit if any of you or myself disagrees with a certain forum rule, because we all confirmed that we would abide by them, and as Moderators we also have to uphold them, but we try to do so with love and grace.

I sincerely apologize for the mistakes I have made in the past and I hope you will be forgiving of our new Mods if they make any mistakes. If you feel any of has done anything wrong please respond in a PM if you would, as rule 3.8 prohibits in thread discussions of moderator actions. In following Matthew 18:15-20 this is what our Lord would want us to do. I will let you all know up front that Mods have very strict rules to follow. If anyone, reguardless if they are a personal friend or not violates a rule, we have to report these. Therefore I ask again, please familiarize yourselves with the rules so we don't have to report "anyone" . We are here only as peace keepers not to lourd it over anyone. My PM box is always open and I'm also not afraid to talk to anyone via phone although I would like to refrain from talking with ladies unless their spouce is present for obvious reasons.


Lets all congratulate our New Mods :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

From what I've read in other threads, there are some Catholics who've not gotten over it, either. Talk about your control issues.

[QuiltAngel]

Even to this day, people are still misunderstanding what Martin's purpose was and arguing.

Having spent an afternoon at the museum in Wittenburg Germany really put things into context for me. I knew it on one level, but being there and seeing and reading really brought it all home for me. Also visited Wartburg Castle and a couple of others. I just want to go back and visit more Luther sites. Sites like Worms, Erfurt and Eisleben.

I envy your experience and I can hardly wait to visit Germany. I'll be in the UK in April, but we won't have time to see much other than England and Scotland.
The idea of being able to see so much of Europe so easily makes the possibility of living in England a bit more attractive. There are no Lutheran churches in the area, though.
Can you imagine? Henry VIII did quite the thorough job, didn't he?

[porterross]

I think we have been reading the same threads!

Possibly. It's as if they refuse to believe that we don't worship Dr. Luther or have him elevated as our perpetual pope. :sigh:

They honestly believe they are the only true church and we are heretics. Oh, well. It is curious that some spend so much energy on us instead of focusing on their own internal "issues" or do they blame Luther for those as well? :scratch:

Bridget,
If you ever do cut it, think about donating to Locks for Love.
It never seems long enough for Locks of Love, but it might be long enough for Pantene's Beautiful Lengths. It's another one of those hair donation things.

While it is long, it's the fact that's it not long enough in a pony tail since I don't want my hair extremely short.

Stein Auf!

[KagomeShuko]

I feel awful right now. . .remember how I said there's that girl who thinks God has never done anything for her? Well, her mother is now not happy with me. . .for CARING about her daughter!

That is so sad. Keep this girl and her mother in your prayers and don't stop caring about her. Someday, she will be glad someone did care.

[QuiltAngel]

Martin Luther on the forums. Now that is a very interesting thought. Can you imagine?

Now whoever wrote that polka about no beer in heaven could not have been Lutheran (or German?).

Katie Luther, now she was one remarkable woman. The first Lutheran Pastor's wife in the first Lutheran parsonage., yet at the time that was not the plan.

You mean the thread on misquoting Luther hasn't stirred them up enough? Did I just say that?

We didn't do a scene from Python, either - it had to be an approved play, so we did a scene from Ibsen's The Dollhouse. . .now try to imagine that - especially with a girl who hated wearing dresses and a guy who tended to dress in 18th century style clothes. . .

You know, if we were really mischevious, we might start a thread in general theology entitled "What Have the Romans Ever Done for Us?" to stir up the Catholics. :D :cool:

That should raise some hackles and might get you some time off for mis-behavior :P

oooooooo...first python...now Dr. Who...i'm liking this...

Yea but you were referring to the Borg, were you not? That's ok, I think the Cybermen are cooler robots.

Now, we need a Dalick. We must exterminate.... The Dooctorrrrr......

You haven't seen the New Dr. Who and the New and Improved Cybermen and Dalicks? They aren't archaic anymore.

My parents are big Who fans and got me watching the original episodes when I was little. Every time my dad (older than you) comes over, he wants to watch one of my Who DVDs. Actually, either Who or Blake's 7.

Dad and I also fight over who gets to read the next Harry Potter when it comes out. He's too cheap to buy his own book, so he thinks I should buy it, let him read it first, then I get it. Hmmmm.

So I guess you guys sat in front of the TV with channel 9 on. Most of the British Sci-Fi was on Public television before they became popular, including Monty Python.

I had a computer game a few years ago with the Monty Python theme. Can't remember the name. Guess it was just called Monty Python. Anyway I never did finish it. Didn't hold my interest.

PS: Yea I've seen the new Python episodes on Sci-Fi channell. Go figure-----I'm a Sci-Fi nut

[KagomeShuko]

Radidio, Python on sci-fi??? Don't you mean Dr. Who on sci-fi???

I always would watching things on PBS like the Vicar or Dibley and Red Dwarf. Of course, now the digital cable gets the BBC.. .but those aren't on it :(

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECALL NOTICE: The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to the serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed, "Sub-sequential Internal Non-morality", or more commonly known as SIN, as it is primarily expressed. Some other symptoms are

(a) Loss of direction
(b) Foul vocal emissions
(c) Amnesia of origin
(d) Lack of peace and joy
(e) Selfish, or violent behavior
(f) Depression or confusion in the mental component
(g) Fearfulness
(h) Idolatry
(i) Rebellion. The Manufacturer, Who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect.
The RepairTechnician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required. The toll free number to call for repair in all areas is:

P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

(a) Love
(b) Joy
(c) Peace
(d) Patience
(e) Kindness
(f) Goodness
(g) Faithfulness
(h) Gentleness
(i) Self Control Please see the operating manual, HOLY BIBLE, for further details on the use of these fixes. As an added upgrade the manufacturer has made available to all repaired units a facility enabling direct monitoring and assistance from a resident Maintenance Technician, the Holy Spirit. Repaired units need only make Him welcome and He will take up permanent residence on the premises!


WARNING:
Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction, voids the Manufacturer's warranty, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.


DANGER:
The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice.

Yep - every Sunday night at 10:00 p.m. - even on school nights. Mom would fix nachos or popcorn. If it was a Tom Baker or Peter Davison episode, we'd be in bed by midnight. If it was Jon Pertwee, 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. Colin Baker - we'd debate on whether it was worth our time (though I think my Dad had a thing for Peri). I became a Channel 9 member at the age of 14 just to get a TARDIS Key, which I still have.

I vaguely remember Monty Python being on. My parents wouldn't let me watch it because they thought it was too risque.

Oh, that brings back memories! When "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" came out, I was a senior in high school. My best friend and I went to see it in th movie theater. I swear we were the ONLY TWO girls in the whole place! We felt a little conspicuous at first, especially since we were rather... um.. fat geeky girls...

No kidding. Any time we mentioned Python in college, we were pegged as engineering majors and nerds. :eek:
It's one of the things my British sweetie and I have in common. He is pretty nerdy, but very successful so....I'd say the jokes on them, wouldn't you?

Python seems to appeal more to quick-witted, analytical thinkers. I'd say you're in very good company. ;)

A Brief History of
Lutheranism

The Christian Church during the early, 1947's underwent, in western Asia, a reformation. The leading exponent of the reformation was Elvis Presley . The reformation movement ultimately lead to a complete split between the reformers and the Westheimer Kennel Club; Those who joined the reformers were later called fluffy as they protested the authority over the Church maintained by Lori . Those who follow the theology of Martin Luther, the Augsburg Confession and the Book of Concord are called questionable. Lutheranism has been the predominant denomination in the kitchen sink , and on Mars where it is the established (state) church. Lutheran denominations are also prominent in North America. The Lutheran Church began with an emphasis on toenails, kaleidoscopes, dog biscuits and pinwheels that continues to this day.

I would hope you'd pick a better question than the one I mentioned, very tongue in cheek, BTW, in keeping with the Python theme.
The Romans were amazingly efficient and proficient civil organizers and developers. Of course, the fact that they carried forward the original ideas of the Egyptians and Greeks and that all actual work was done by disposable slaves could be a sticky wicket for any rebuttal....not that I'm encouraging you. :D

See now slavery is always a good one to go after 'em for, but even the good old U.S.A. used slaves to build a country so that one won't work.

Takes me back to the days when my DH was in Seminary, fellowship, theology and beer.

Okay. I'm quite toasted. (mucho vino) And trying not to bite my head off at my guests. They are our dear friends, who are homeless. We offered them the house last night for showers, laundry, and a place to sleep. Figured it was cold out (January) and A Good Thing to give them a warm place to sleep for the night.

But after church today they came back. *sighs* At least they asked about overstaying their welcome, and I told them they need to be goen by the time Hunter comes home from work. He's a stong "I" on the Meyers Briggs Personality Type Indiator (introvert), and he needs his space to rejuvenate. So I hope they'll be gone in an hour.

I want to do more, but I have to focus on the health of my family first.

I feel bad for turning them out. How sad. I know they are going to sleep in their car tonight.

But at least they have had a shower, and they have had a couple good, hot meals, and they have had a night indoors in the warmth sleepign.

*sighs*

I need more wine.

That must be why vicodon doesn't affect me as my wife says I don't have a brain ;)

Actually it does help me to sleep as it lessons the pain in my back etc, but if I hurt really bad I will chase it with beer for greater effects, but if I drink more then two I won't sleep at all, but it sure does take the pain away. :)

I remember the doc gave me codeene based pain pills after I had surgery quite a few years ago and they really screwed up my mind. I quit taking them because of halucinations and some really nasty stuff.
