^Thanks! I was going to lunch now I'm not as hungry. But it makes out of shape men in Speedos look much better now.

Why you jumping on me? The entire conversation is superficial! You wear wear what you want to; my opinion never stops anyone. If you look a mess, you look a mess. Period.

IOWA!?! A state in the midwest? Who knew? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090403/ap_on_re_us/iowa_gay_marriage/print

Depends on where you're at. In the states you can get away with wearing both; in Europe if you want to go to a water park or pool, you must wear a speedo. But it's not as big a deal here as it is in Europe... we're just prudes. As far as looks go, you have to look damned good to get away with it. There's many people I DON'T want to see in a speedo... if you don't take care of your shape, cover it up... that goes for the ladies as well... one piece please! (can we get those turn-of-the-century outfits with the bonnets and ruffles?) Terry "Look at that a$$" Weaver

The Godzilla motion picture. It should had been titled "Product placements gone wild". That was the first time I screamed "Oh c'mon!" to the screen. Terry

^A mess. "Show me how much you love bacon..." As they said in John Walter's 'Desperate Living': Grizelda: "Get it! Get it!" Peggy: "But I don't know how!" Grizelda and Peggy

Everything looks good so far! No sure if I can join in the fun, but I did have a question about whether we can use custom rides in the park. I was over at a friends away from my main computer and I was working on this family ride: I may call it Adventure Mountain. The drop ride (Volcano) is incorporated in the scenery.

In Miami, eh? Sounds about right judging from the drama quotient. Terry

^^Sorry to hear about grandmother. Hopefully they can treat it and she gets better. Also, I didn't mention it earlier today but a coworker died earlier today. She was a real nice lady. No one has any information on how she died though, although she's been tired for a few days last week. Terry

Most of the scripture on this subject in the Bible deals with either eating too much (gluttony) or being drunk. Thus if you feel you will get into trouble by drinking, please don't do it; but don't use an erroneous interpretation of the Bible to spoil it for the rest of us and make us people feel like their gonna burn in Hell for drinking. People are doing far worse things. I'm thinking the spirit of what the scripture says is that don't over do it so much that you are given into wild visions or do bad things while under the influence. But I think a bigger ill right now is gluttony, considering the high deaths from heart disease... but I'm not seeing any campaigns for people to stop eating the fatty foods. So why are we focusing on a smaller number of people when more almost 10 times the people are dying from gluttony? And finally: LUK 12:19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."' 'Nuff said. Terry I think she's past given into wild visions. She has no vision!

^^^^They have a lower drinking age in Europe and I believe they are healthier than we are in the States! We are just so uptight about the wrong things in the States and then the real problems we ignore blow up in our face... then we gotta scramble. If we had real and honest discussions about sex and alcohol rather than the "doom-and-gloom-you're-going-to-hell-you-filthy-sinner-sweep-it-under-the-rug" speeches, people would be a lot more responsible about these type of choices.

^It would be a combination of excitement, wonderment, bewilderment, "what the heck happened" and "is this a joke"? All within that 30 seconds. They probably thought they really sinned and prayed longer than the actual event. Anyway, my rant is I dropped $12 dollars on the new Prince album and I could have invested that in a bunch of stock at Chrysler... at least from what I heard so far. I hope the rest is better. Terry

Just a little something to look at on this topic... there are other related articles on this page as well. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080604074908.htm Just a snippet: You really shouldn't have problems with anything done in moderation. Anything overdone is typically bad: Eating, drinking, smoking... self righteous preaching... usually these are the things we generally want to cut down on. Terry

^No. Mary's got a lot of sisters! Chinese Mary: * Vodka * Sweet * Sour Sauce * Lemon Juice * Worcestershire Sauce * Soy Sauce * Tabasco® Sauce * Pineapple Quantities for one drink: * 1 1/2 oz Vodka * 3 oz Sweet And Sour Sauce * 1 Dash Lemon Juice * 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce * 3 Drops Soy Sauce * 3 Drops Tabasco® Sauce * 1 Pineapple Blending Instructions: * Make like a Bloody Mary, improvising with ingredients until you find your preferred taste and texture * Try adding extra vodka to thin out the sauce a little * When heated, this also makes a great sauce for food Terry "I'm thirsty now but I gotta work some more" Weaver

I had a beer yesterday. It was a Blue Moon and they put a slice of orange on the side. Pretty good. I usually have one or two beers while socializing with friends. I usually have a good meal as well. I usually drink my beers so slow that they usually end up warm... but I like to savor whatever I eat or drink. I know people that drink to get drunk and usually I don't hang with them because their personality changes so much that they're not fun to be around. Another recipe: Hail Mary Drink Recipe Ingredients to use: 1.0 beaten Eggs 1.0 dash Grenadine 2.0 cups Orange juice 5.0 drops Tabasco 2.0 shots OVAL Vodka Directions: Beat the egg and put into small bowl. Add orange juice, stir. Then add vodka. Finally add 5 drops of tabasco. Grenadine is optional. Stir and put straw in bowl. ENJOY!! Before you drink, say a Hail Mary.

I'm making enough for 20. Eye Opening Bloody Mary recipe Scale ingredients to servings 15000 ml vodka 920 oz can V8® vegetable juice 60 tbsp white horseradish 60 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 60 tbsp fresh lime juice 20 tbsp Tabasco® sauce 30 tsp celery salt 20 tsp ground red cayenne peppers Add half amount of V8 juice to pitcher.

I'm glad you are alright as well. My father had a triple bypass several years ago and that was a scary thing. That's one of the reasons I work out since my family has a history of diabetes and heart disease. Terry

^That's not it. The restaurant had a bar too! Ha! I was there to give a message to a girl that needed to hear it. That's how God works... besides if He didn't want me going to bars he wouldn't have let me go to that beach party! Oooh Laaa... The boys!!!! You're acting like Jesus didn't hook those wedding guests up with wine! Terry "Guessing God doesn't talk to you 'cause you jumbling up the message" Weaver

Still gay here and I got another closet to burn down. Yay! I'm still leaving the previous topic alone, but I am compelled to do a little good-ole Christian testifying to an event that happened this weekend. If you're not religious this will probably fall under the weirdness category. But this bit was more of God giving me an answer to "Gays won't get into Heaven". When the Lord tells me do something, I know better than not to do it because there's a reason for it. And I don't want him chastising me! I think most times God will send me somewhere to give a message when people aren't listening... and I tend not to mince words! Let me give you an example. Last night I was moving some boxes to my new place and I was going to eat dinner with a friend before he had a meeting. We get to the restaurant and it was closed, so my friend decided to go to the meeting early and I was going to check out a place for a quick beer. I start driving and I heard a voice tell me to go to this restaurant I haven't been to in a year instead. So I do it. I also hear a message "Go back to school." I get a table by myself and I'm waiting patiently for 10 minutes... with no service. (not particularly happy about that) Anyway, this girl that I haven't seen since last year walks in with friends. She's been having a tough time with everything and I think she tried to commit suicide (although she won't admit it). She invites me to her table and we end up talking. I figure out that she's the one I'm there for... she was in Law school. I ask her how she's doing with school and she said that she's taking time off. So I start telling her about she needs to go back to school now... and she agrees to go next semester and I told her will call her and check up. She really appreciated seeing me because I always gave her good advice when she didn't know what to do. I don't know what the plan for her is, but I won't stand in the way of whatever God has in store... and I did what He told me faithfully. And what you should get from my testifying is this: God uses who HE wants to in his mission in the world. If you look in the Bible, it has plenty of examples of people doing his work that people have frowned on. He will put people in places where "So-called Christians" won't go in order to get his message through and show them there is love for them. It is NOT anyone's place to decide things as who is doing what... or even who is going to Heaven. Worry about yourself and make sure that you don't hold back your own blessings. A Christian's mission is to show love to everyone and treat everyone the way You want to be treated. That goes for EVERYTHING. THAT is what God wants a Christian to remember because that is what your salvation depends on. But when you do what God asks, you'd be surprised what He has in store for you. Ok... that was too weird, even for me. Back to topic. Terry "Still no less Gay and God is OK with that otherwise he wouldn't be talking to me" Weaver BTW: I never did make it to the bar and I ended up getting my dinner (which wasn't cheap) free. I guess that was my payment for doing what was asked of me.

^^I have to work on this room, so I will keep this short and will probably be my last post on this. 1) If the 10 commands didn't go away, shouldn't the Christians efforts be on laws concerning them (we're back to adultery and divorce)? Why isn't there an effort to get laws towards this? That's a bigger problem and it's shocking that no one will even discuss this, but they're quick to jump on the "gays are immoral" bandwagon. I'm just glad I don't have to answer for that. Seems to me if marriage was so important they would tackle this rather than setting up smoke screens with easy targets. 2) Anyone who loves the Lord and accepts him as their personal savior WILL get into Heaven. HE said this. You should know this. Jesus didn't say "If you're gay you can just forget it". That's you talking not Him. That's why it says that everyone should worry about their own salvation, not everyone elses... read that as don't worry about what goes on in someone else's house just your own. Now I don't make a big deal out of my religion because it's my personal relationship with the Lord. It may be hard for you to believe because I'm gay, but He does speak to me too. (And I won't have you tell me He doesn't) There's been times where he's spoke to me when I or one of my friends and in one particular instance He would let me move until I got on my knees and prayed. It was so powerful one time I couldn't move. I prayed and cried for an hour. But you know, afterwards my friend (that was ill) came through it fine and I felt better and thanked Him. So I really resent what you said because I know the Lord and I'm here for a reason and He loves me. I won't have you dispute that, period. If you have an issue with that, He said to take it up with him. (Just did a little prayer and got some enlightenment). I wouldn't if I were you... Trust. Now I'm going to do what He said and leave this alone. Back to cleaning out this closet. Terry

^That sounds a lot like "separate but equal". We all know that doesn't work, so why should we perpetuate it? So either everything thing gets stripped of the word marriage and becomes legal unions or everything becomes marriage. If two people want to torture themselves by joining themselves in this manner, what's the big deal? How does their happiness affect you? It really doesn't in my opinion. When it comes down to it, to be honest, there's not really a non-religious reason for banning gay marriage. If there is, I'd really like to hear it. Most of the of the conversation goes to "marriage is between a man and woman"... and when we say "why is that?" then it turns to religion. In a country founded against religious persecution and separation of church and state, you can't use this as reasoning. Point blank... you can't use this. So what are the other reasons against this?

^Are your parents the same age? Age isn't a determining factor of finding a person... well not exactly everything. I'm not sure how much you would have in common with someone 15-20 years older or younger than you. But if it works, it works. And a year isn't really that big of a difference. Besides, you guys are young and it's not like you two are going shopping for rings yet... or you guys are getting ready to shack up. I say introduce her, if you like her that much to do it, your parents should respect that... if not, shame on them. You could easily be sneaking around. (Well as much as a 13-yr old could) Terry

^While I understand that, I still don't see where gay marriage enters into any of those passages. "Giving into marriage" is pretty much happening with straights where marrying and divorcing each other is so easy. The Bible can be interpreted many ways and can be easily twisted to make any argument. The things I pulled out of my time in the church were these: * Jesus died for ALL of our sins, not just certain people. * Jesus commanded us to love each other and do unto others as we would have done unto us. * We will be judged on our works (helping the sick, those less than us, etc.) Lip service need not apply. * With the coming of Jesus, all the old laws (Old testament) went away. Which pretty much left the "do unto others" law. So if anything you do conflicts with this law, then you probably should be worried. In our Bible class, our minister explained that so many that lead the church will preach with the old notions of the Old Testament than the love doctrines of Jesus and that's where everyone will fall short. It's not enough to just sit on a pew and listen to what a preacher tells you... you have to open up the word and know it for yourself. And based on that you go out there and help those less than you... and from that people should see that "light" in whatever you do. That's your personal relationship with Christ. If you don't, a preacher can come in and tell you anything (even if it's wrong) and you'll believe it. There's tons of people like that now. A minster once said that there are churches full of members going to Hell because they just listen to what the preacher told them and it wasn't right. If my understanding is right, it will very interesting on the last day when people see some religious gay people that actually had 'work' standing behind them will be stepping past the self righteous people that only gave lip service to the Lord. That's why you help others and treat others like you want to be treated while you're here on Earth. That's the main theme what Jesus did and people should follow. If you're more concerned about the doom and gloom and not treating people like you want to be treated, then I think you have something to worry about. I'd rather err on allowing people to have the same treatment as I would than to hold them down. That's more in line what Jesus would do anyway. Besides, it's not like Jesus was hanging with the Holy Rollers...

^Were you trying to get her to go with you or were you going by yourself? If she needed to study, what was the purpose of you being there? Did she need you to quiz her? If that was more the case, help your girl out! If she didn't then I would think she would appreciate the peace and quiet to study alone. Besides, that coaster isn't going anywhere... just let her make it up to you. My gripe is with people who think they are doing you a favor to do them a favor. I don't quite get that. If I'm doing you a favor and taking time out of my schedule to drive over and set things up (especially when I'm not charging you), please don't dictate when I can't do it... especially when you don't actually live there. To give some background, I was help a friend with some computer work; I don't do it too much anymore because it was too stressful dealing with people and taking too much of my time. His hard drive died so we took it to the Apple store to get fixed. After he got it back, he didn't know how to set it up (sad) and ask me to set it back up. Well we've been playing phone tag for months about it, and I told him I'm not going to remind him to call me to set up his machine... favors don't work like that and I have things to do. He also cancels on me and then expects me to drop what I'm doing to do stuff for him. He invited me to a birthday party last week and I told him I will stop by after my volunteer shift for a while. Before I leave I will also set up his computer so he can stop calling me and I don't have to drive 20 miles to fix it. So anyway, I went to the party and before I decided to leave I went upstairs to set up his computer. I told my friend I was heading up there and he said ok. Anyway, his big mouthed sister was up there and decided to give me the third degree about what i was doing in his room and I can't work on his computer right now... she said she doesn't want anything stolen. And she knows I work on his computer! I went off. I told her that as many times I've been in his room working on his computer since 2000 and he had wads of money on his dresser and not a dime went missing, how dare she say anything to me. And she don't even live there! I said "Fine. But I tell you what, if this computer ever gets set up it won't be by me. Call Geek Quad. I'm never setting foot in this house again until I get an apology. Even then I'm never working on anyone's computer again since no one knows the meaning of "favor". I knew there was a reason I'm moving in June and getting a new phone. Terry
