Any newbies wanna join my prayer group?

same here

We're praying that my dog, Fang, be ressurected.

easter Sunday would be a good day for this to happen.

There being a precedent and all.

angie, is all this really necessary?

He was, is, a very nice dog.

The thing I'm not sure of is whether I have to dig him up first.

Any suggestions?

The ground may still be hard as easter comes early this year.

OTOH, a miracle is a miracle.

I'd certainly clear the snow away and move the rock.

If people would only join my prayer group, I'm sure we could make it happen.

Like this,"...and please bring Angies dog, Fang, back from the dead. Amen".

That simple.

Perhaps a small monetary "love offering' at Jesusland would help as well.

Might as well cover all the bases

And a little self loathing would go a long way, too. might as well remind ourselves what vile humans we are.

and what's up with books? i mean, i've read like every single harlequin and i've come to the conclusion that all books suck.

heya hursh! Perhaps try for some less light reading?

nah, clearly if there are that many stupid ones, there just can't be anything to this whole reading thing.

okay

and what's up with dogs? my sister's is so stupid, it just grovels. i think dogs are worthless too.

furthermore, i have never found a comfortable mattress, and have come to the conclusion that such a thing does not exist.

the world according to hurshy... could be a book. But would it be good reading...?

and i've tried every single variety of campbells soup, and i feel that soup, as a food, is a complete waste.

and people who think that vegetables can taste good? let me tell you, i've tasted cabbage, and from that it is perfectly obvious that no vegetable can possibly taste good.

is there a point you want to make?

angie constantly mocks people of faith, because she doesn't happen to know about real solid healthy faith, she is basing her evaluation of religion on the fact that she sees a lot of people who do it badly.

so, i thought i would just start doing that with other things and see how much sense it made.

oh! I see. I was ignoring her. Seemed to be a braindead kid horny for attention.

but the fact of the matter is, there ARE lots of good books, nice dogs, comfortable mattresses, delicious homemade soups, and enjoyable veggies.

lol, now I understand your ravings. But using logic to braindead people is like throwing pearls for the swines.

she's not braindead, she's just very anti-religion.

hurshy, I didn't get what u were up to until you got to the vegetable bit, and I've seen angie's rants on here many times, but also thought she was just another crazy person on the internet

the way she was ranting on on her own suggests otherwise, though

she has been doing this on a very regular basis for months now. i've talked to her about it and she is not an unintelligent person. in fact, i asked her if she would mind stopping and she said she would... but ...

I am sorry, but I don't see any value in rants like hers and I just put her on ignore... won't read a thing if it has her name above it.

lol, I mean, this is not even a christian or religious site... just a puzzle site!

well, i figured, if i couldn't change her mind, i could at least try to offer a point against her assumptions for anybody out there who might be... undecided.

i generally ignore her too. but today i felt like saying something.

hehehe, I always like the way your brain works, hurshy. Well, I am not undecided, but darn tired. Might head off to bed if I get this one down... am working on an expert. Have about 3 month's puzzles to catch up on.

you are up awfully late that's for sure!

yeah, it was a helluva day. Am trying to find myself back before heading off to bed. Might get lonely there all by my unself.

spritey, i think you are probably an HSP

you might want to try reading "the highly sensitive person" by elaine aron

that's what they say. But wth, about 20% of the people are.

i'm finding it immensely helpful.

oh so you have read it already?

yes, I have, and I agree. So you can imagine what half a day of hospital did with my, lol.

*hugs*

to you too, hursh! *hugs right back*

i'm an HSP also, i have like 20 of the 23 things on the quiz in the book.

I was rated as extreme, too. But some things cannot be helped... my husband needed me today. He was in a lot of pain. He is sound asleep now, so I think I might go too.

well, if you feel lonely, just think about the hursh who is here wide awake in EST and thinking of you and wishing you well.

that would lift the loneliness immediately :)
Thanks hursh! For caring and for telling me.

no problem dear! i hope you sleep well.

have a good one, and see you soon. Bye!

bye

Anyway, as I was saying...

Please pray for Fang.

And an early spring.

there's only one thing that really puzzles me about you, angie, and that's why you said "sure, i'll stop", and then... didn't. i would've rather you'd just said, no, i don't wanna.

Sorry, I can't help myself.

well why didn't you just say so at the time then?

I thought I'd give it a shot because you were nice about it.

I can stop for a while.

ah... like trying to quit smoking... but it didn't stick. ok, i get it.

Good analogy.

I have a calling

Ok, I'll stop for as long as I can

well, i have a finished puzzle, after messing it up once. i only ever mess up on easies. so, i'm off to some scrabble games. best wishes to you, angie dear.

ty and good night

go
