I loved Sirius. I got it free for a year when the company I work for rented a truck for me. It's gone now though. And I like things that shine. Shine is mentioned 68 times in the bible!
Ask your company, if you can pay for another year?!?! Don't say it's gone. That will make me cry........
Woah Bees, so how well do you know your Bible?

I just look up weird stuff. And too, looking up words can be deceiving with so many translations. So it's just for fun.

You, me and a bunch of other Gen-Xers.
The Love Boat, and then Fantasy Island. ABC (channel 7 in NYC). Don't get me started on what else I remember from that time.
I dont know where I heard it first, but its like how Elvis had a jungle room at Graceland, he decorated it with palms and things from the jungle. Ive never actually been there though, though its a pilgrimage site for some people now.
The temple in the Bible was decorated with pomegranates
The 70's Love Boat and Fantasy Island was plenty of fun. Chopped full of mini moral lessons. At some point I switched to watching "The Monstrous Movie" or whatever it was called, on UHF.
I watched The Love Boat on a cruise ship once, but I didnt find romance lol
It was mostly elderly people, still fun though. I witnessed older couples though who found one another at retirement villages. Helps if both of them are widows!
They didnt hang out in the lounge, more the dining room, and some went to casino cos they had lots of spare cash squirreled away now they could access their retirement funds, and thought it was fun to spend it all.
Yeah, I'm the same way. Google is pretty handy on getting random information in the quick.
So, I found out there is a Joel Osteen channel on Sirius. I know there are some Christians, that have their reservations on his teachings, but he cheers me up, and gives me encouragement. It's nice to have a positive influence in this world of negativity.
Here is a random story of a man, that has a Canadian Goose as a "best friend".
Joel Osteen?
You mean Guy Smiley?
I remember reading this book called 'stuff christians like' but the author guy never mentioned Joel Osteen.
Actually, come to think of it the guy never mentioned Jesus either. I thought what book about 'stuff Christians like' dosnt even mention a WWJD wristband. ?!

I think Joel is doing a good job. His ministry is filled with encouragement and helps motivate me at work.
Don't forget the chips.
Chopped full? What is this? LOL. Whatever it is, @Eli1 needs to be notified.
I was thinking perhaps a thread on butchered sayings. Like chopped full instead of chock full.
I heard someone say in a show I was watching recently, "I did not want to gear you in the wrong direction." .
LOL. People are buying the ranch and kicking the pail, it is beyond the bucket .
Is this a discussion about Gen-X and the awesome 80s and 90s?
In my book, that generation can never live down the shame of Madonna.
Thanks for noticing. = pChopped full? What is this? LOL. Whatever it is, @Eli1 needs to be notified.

It seems the origin of "chock-full" is not fully certain. Likely from cheek full, but there's other possibilities. There is a word called chock, which is a block wedge to hold something in place, but is not part of the word chock-full, which is its own compound word entirely.
I actually wasn't trying to say The Love Boat had a cheek full of mini moral lessons, but rather the mini lessons were chopped up into the show, as there were two- or three-character stories per episode, the weekly guest stars of that cruise. There's a sort of visual aspect to chopped full of mini moral lessons, as in two or three separate ones in each episode.
Are you buying any of this? lol Actually, I am serious, but in retrospect, I tried to remember why I wrote it that way. I was aware of the term chock-full but didn't use it.
It's fun to look at misheard words and phrases. Once you mishear them, they take a life of their own because you actually understand them with the actual word parts you think you hear. My favorite is it "piqued my interest" versus "peaked my interest".
Pique is a french word that actually means to annoy or sting. So, "pique my interest" is actually more of a phrase describing what/when something made you become very curious about something. Peak means the top or maximum, like the peak of a mountain. So, when a person is saying or writing that "a song peaked their interest in that band", they may literally mean peak, not pique. And they are likely only using that phrase because they heard "pique my interest" in the past.
"Gear you in the wrong direction" is probably very similar. You can gear someone with the incorrect "mental parts" to find their way.
