And I even took the trouble to outline one of the many alternative approaches you could use. Try to be nice to someone, go out of your way to help him out, and this is what you get...

Actually I was kind of feeling the same way. Sorry dude. When I use scripture to make a point, I try to keep it to one or two verses. If I need to reference a lot of verses, usually I just give the scripture number and let people look it up on their own, while I state what I am trying to get...

For the record: I have personally met seoulsearch multiple times. She has never given off "fighting away demons" vibes. She has more of a "continually worried that party guests will be either too hot or too cold, or need another drink, or we might need to set some more snacks out..." vibe.

I once was young, now I'm old, but never have I seen any scare anybody trumped up that was actually warranted. Y2K computer bug, 88 reasons Jesus will return in 1988, barcodes, social security number, AIDS, the current pope at any given time is the Antichrist, the current president at any...

How much do you read Wikipedia? This article has 23 citations. One is an obscure literary work from the 1490s and the other 22 are excerpts from conversations on LanguageLog.

Howdy and welcome to the Forum.

I would mention for the record that King Saul seemed to have quite a similar thorn. It was sent to him from someone, it was sent for a specific purpose and it caused him much distress. That's the only similar case I can think of though, in the Bible or from what I have heard from just anywhere...

Well... Perhaps. While this is true for some, for other people their depression has a different source. And then for other, other people, their depression has a different, different source too.

But for criteria, it would have to be something that is expressly sent by someone, and something that is sent to keep a person from getting too proud of himself. That would be at least part of the qualification for being a Paul quality thorn. Now mind you, there are a few people I know of that...

That specific thorn was for a very specific purpose, and sent with a specific intent. Christianity is full of malapropisms. People claim a lot of things as their cross to bear or their thorn in their side. But I'm not sure very many people have that kind of thorn that Paul talked about, or that...

I don't know that everybody has a thorn. That verse about a thorn in the flesh is one I hear often quoted, and many people ascribe the value of thorn to many things in their lives, but that thorn in the Bible was a very specific thing for a very specific purpose. Paul said it was given to him...

I will make two comments though. 1. This sounds more like classical depression, not modern depression. Modern depression is really popular these days, and I believe it comes from boredom, pointlessness and general lack of direction. People feel dissatisfied with their lives, so they claim they...

*Lynx goes off to get a notepad and pen. I have literally nothing at all to contribute to this thread. But I can at least take notes for future reference. *Lynx jots down his first note; be very careful what you ask God for.

I'd be good but it's too late now Somebody snitched on me And I'm getting nothing for Christmas Mommy and daddy are mad I'm getting nothing for Christmas Cuz I ain't been nothing but bad

How long until the tree comes down? Does your family leave it up until January 6th? Did you take it down today? Is there always an argument between those who want to take it down fast and those who want to leave it up a while? https://www.gocomics.com/arloandjanis/2024/12/26

That sounds like about the best way to do it. Everyone I know already has too much stuff anyway, including me. If I do get presents for people, they are usually consumables, something they can eat and then it will be gone and won't be cluttering up for the rest of their lives.

Anything interesting for Christmas this year?

That sounds like this one comedian I was listening to, talking about when is the right age to tell your kids the truth about Santa. This comedian says that's easy. When your kid's Christmas list gets too big for your wallet. "My boy was eight and he gave me a list with stuff like air jordans...

Google tells me burger sauce is mayo, relish, ketchup and (whatever else you want to put in it.) Sounds good on a grilled cheese sandwich. Make me one next time. :D

Reminds me of a comic. "Did you leave out the milk and cookies for Santa?" "Get real. A big guy flying all night doesn't want milk and cookies. I left him a t-bone steak and a pot of coffee."
