  1. yes - removing the feathers is optional. don't give in to the peer pressure of "the man."
  2. that's because ben finds it important to get on somebody's level before crucifying them WITH FACTS AND LOGIC!
  3. i'll be retired in less than ten. starting to consider our options.
  4. that would be a fun promotion night if the halos sign him.
  5. i don't think it should only be for playoff teams, but that's absolutely a consideration for me.
  6. "He even used big words like "impetus" and "ideology," throwing her for a total loop. She could only stand there and hang her head in shame as Shapiro made her question her entire existence." LOL
  7. a couple of minutes reading through the voting guide helped quite a bit. if people are too busy to do that, then we're more screwed than ever.
  8. repeat after me, "but your honor, they wouldn't have arrested him if he wasn't guilty." it'd also help if you wore gym shorts and flip flops.
  9. yeah, it just keeps getting worse. but then, here's one of the more moving stories i can remember in recent years. I work in the Adventist school system and Paradise Adventist Academy is a k-12 school in our system. This is pretty awesome. Maureen Mayden Wisener November 11 at 8:12 AM Last night, the Paradise Adventist Academy Cougars girls VB team travelled to Auburn, CA to play the Forest Lake Christian HS in the quarterfinals for Norcals. This is their division's version of a state championship. Some on the team did not have VB gear - they need shoes, socks, knee pads, shorts, jerseys - since it was lost in the Camp Fire #campfire. CIF was willing to postpone to Monday, but the girls wanted to play. When we arrived, we were overwhelmed with the love of Jesus by these amazing people, now friends! FLCHS had asked their families to help us. Here is what they did: - donated money so no one had to pay a gate fee (required by CIF) - provided all new uniforms so that all the girls would wear a team uniform (socks, knee pads, shorts, jerseys personalized with Paradise and each girl's own number) - gave each girl an envelope with $300 in gift cards - gave each girl a gift bag with pillow, blanket, toiletries and more - donated more than $16K to PAA - provided a meal for all the families after the game - escorted all of us to a room full of donations (clothes, toiletries, shoes, backpacks, jackets, . . .) and told us to "shop" - gave us warm, welcoming hugs - provided free food at their snack bar Their love of Jesus overflowed and completely drenched us last night. The gym was full. Supporters for our girls came from various Sacramento SDA schools and churches. A bus came from PUC to cheer our girls, and they presented flowers to each team member. Our group was loud, as usual! We wanted these girls to know they are loved. FLCHS won 3-1. It was a great game. Our girls played hard. They should be very proud. We certainly are proud of them. And, they set a record: it is the first time PAA has gone this far in this sport, ever. A childhood friend met me there and she and her husband had brought gift bags of various necessities for the girls, too. (Thank you Diane Klischies Evans!) We are overwhelmed. Thank you is simply not enough to express the gratitude we feel. My heart is full.
  10. this is a pretty heartwarming story. https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/11/14/horse-survives-camp-fire-by-jumping-into-someones-pool-to-escape-the-flames/
  11. i've had green bean casserole three times. twice at church potlucks, and it was really good. once my wife made it and it turned out terrible, which is surprising because she's very talented in the kitchen. haven't found a good recipe for this and we stopped trying to include it in our turkey day meal.
  12. assumptions: all republican candidates are white, and most democratic candidates are not.
  13. The pictures on the news of Trump announcing this showed him surrounded by several African Americans in the White House.
  14. As if the twine won't catch fire. Duh, I wasn't born yesterday!
  15. I don't See Zobrist as a step in the right direction. would be more interested in mccutcheon.
  16. I wouldn't commit that many years or that much money to anyone except Trout, and even then it's too many years. There'd be a serious possibility for a Pujols kind of decline again. Harper is an exciting player at times, but he disappears for long stretches of time. I get enough of the hot & cold scenario watching the Kings each season. Not interested in adding an Angels player to that scenario.
  17. You're ahead of me. Who knew Leo Tolstoy was alive and well and now writing about Angels baseball.
  18. That's not enough of an apology for me. I'm gonna need an amazon gift card to really clear the air between us.
