    Have You Ever Traded One Vice (Bad Habit) For Another? One Thing, One Thing, Leads to Another... (for those who remember the song!)

    I have decided to quit doing something one time, only to find I had replaced it with something else. On closer examination, because I am always big on understanding why I do something, I discovered I had not addressed the root problem. I had only addressed a symptom, which then manifested in a...

    Let's Talk Usernames: Origin Stories, Alternatives, and What's the Most Outlandish Name You've Ever Considered for Yourself?

    The adjective for iron is ferrous. I know, I know, you're making a joke. But what you don't understand is, I am a pedant. :geek:

    Let's Talk Usernames: Origin Stories, Alternatives, and What's the Most Outlandish Name You've Ever Considered for Yourself?

    So I have learned two things from this thread. 1. Seoulsearch wants a large family but does not want responsibility for it, so she casts herself as a sister instead of the mother. That way she can spread the work around instead of doing it herself as the mom. 2. Seoulsearch and Subhumanoidal...

    Let's Talk Usernames: Origin Stories, Alternatives, and What's the Most Outlandish Name You've Ever Considered for Yourself?

    I only have two nickname stories, and they both come from the old apostolic chat days. May it rust in peace. When I first started chatting online I chose Psalm_97 because I liked that Psalm. A couple years later I dropped it and just used my name, isaac. One of the moderators kept calling me...

    As Christians, How Can We Take a Stance Against Society's Constant Pairing of Sex With Violence?

    While the "modern day tower of Babel" bit is somewhat overdramatic, I have been saying the rest of it for years. Humans have always been this evil. The only difference with technology is, now we have more opportunity to express it.

    Does God Tell You Specifically What to Buy and Sell With Your Money?

    I of course pray about big purchases. ("Big" in this case can be extremely subjective. To me anything over $150 is a major purchase because I am not rich.) Mostly I pray that if it's a big mistake, God will let me know before it's too late to reverse it. There are only two times I can recall...

    How Does God Expose Our Own Hypocrisies to Our Own Selves?

    There's a lot of that going around these days. I hear it's quite contagious especially up in the northwest.

    How Does God Expose Our Own Hypocrisies to Our Own Selves?

    Talking about hypocrisy in general... I know this one little green bird brain who is very vigilant about making sure people all around him share snacks, but he himself is very unwilling to share so much as a crumb. About your specific example... I don't think there is a biblical line that can...

    But he could marry Leia Organic. Organic chicken is highly touted these days.

    "Ah, you are Daisy2's mother" was rhetorical. It was a writing device, a way to start off the greeting I was about to type next. Something like "Fancy meeting you here" or some such.

    I mostly put up with the stuff like that in my life because it's not worth the effort to tell people off, and it wouldn't do any good if I did. So i just do my best to ignore it, and get on with my own life.

    Ah, you are Daisy2's mother? Howdy and welcome (back) to the forum. We don't do the whole yelling at people and calling them names thing here. That is what they do in Bible Discussions Forum. They also do a lot of it in the news and conspiracy forums. This place is not those places. Here we...

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    I dunno... I'm reminded of the weekly sojourn I make to the auction house on Saturday nights. (Stay with me on this.) The auction gets a flat 20% commission on all sales. But there are always a lot of side deals going on between different people who happen to be at the auction, that the...
