Tesla owner blows up Model S instead of footing $22,600 repair bill (msn.com) Bet that's going to show up on the CarFax report.

Alex Jones’ wife arrested on domestic violence charge (msn.com) He seems to think it's a medication imbalance. I think 1) she got tired of his shit, or 2) not an imbalance, just not enough to put up with his bullshit.

Nobody's perfect... As demonstrated in Post #1

And, how many of their books did you enjoy reading.

Are you talking, Mencken the Journalist or someone else? Cause Mencken the Journalist was an anti-semite and bigot.

I've only been to two and it was some time ago. Didn't realize it had gotten complicated. I'll defer to you on this one.

Yeah, Jerry. Just like that. How sad is that.

Well, there is that.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Blue Skies.

The only change Hollywood needs to make is to not point a weapon directly at people. If the cameras' on your right, you shoot two inches left of the person and if the cameras' on your left . . . Plus look past the shot to make sure nothing is in the path.

"Given you claim to represent the will of God and act as a special witness of Jesus, the Mormon church should be doing more to help the world and its members with its wealth." My exact reason for leaving the Catholic church.

I get it. She had to have been trained and certified before carrying it, so I really don't know where or how things went wrong. But, they did. Horribly.

It would appear she pulled her reserve before cutting away.

True. It doesn't weigh the same, feel the same, look the same, not worn on the same side . . .

What is an Evangelical?

Classic Constitutional Liberalism or Modern Liberalism?

I struggle with this. Cops are taught to wear the Taser on their non-dominant side and the pistol on their dominant side. The Taser is yellow, the pistol is black.

My S/O grew up in a small town east of Tulsa next to a Mennonite community. As a child her family barn was taken out by a tornado two years in a row. Both times, the Mennonites showed up and built them a new barn. Didn't ask them to join the church, make a donation, etc. It's just what they do. They have a restaurant called "Dutch Pantry" and not only is the food good, every holiday, they make the world's greatest pies and people will drive for miles just to scarf them up.

Guess it would have been best for Phil to include [ON TOPIC] in the thread title.

Well, given your propensity to post inaccurate information - These help

It started out with, "As Christmas approaches its time to celebrate the good work that some within this religion do." I choose to take it at face value. Phil & I have had our spirited differences, but I read nothing in his post that sounded like a setup. Sometimes a rose is just a rose.

OH REALLY?!?!?!?!? That's not what the data sheet says . . . EUA 105 Pfixer Paxlovid Fact Sheet for PPCs (12222021)_0.pdf EUA 105 Pfizer Paxlovid LOA (12222021).pdf

Double-check me on this: If memory serves, it's contingent on Android OS, phone manufacturer and service provider. Some of them want you to use their native cloud, so they block the ability to do this.

This is what President Bush meant when he made his, “Thousand Points of Light” speech. A term derived from Arthur C. Clarke’s, “Rescue Party.” Bush went on to start a foundation dedicated to volunteerism. I’ve mentioned on here before that I was raised Catholic and my family (uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.) would get together for the Danny Thomas Telethon collect money from everyone (kids included) and donate it. It was the beginning teaching us to help someone else. Danny Thomas was of Lebanese descent but raised Catholic and vowed at a young age to create a foundation honoring St. Jude – the Patron Saint of hopeless causes and spent years raising money for it before it even got started (about a decade, I think). Danny’s motto was, “No child should die in the dawn of life.” And, to this day, no family pays for treatment. Each church has some form of “Church Charity.” Each year in Oklahoma when tornadoes ravage through our state, the local churches come together and feed the responders. They work with the local restaurants to produce the food, they rally the money for the restaurants, and they serve the meals so the restaurants can focus on cooking. Same with the grass fires in the Spring (our state is predominately Volunteer Fire Departments). I appreciate your starting this thread because it’s easy to throw rocks at religion and we need to remember they do more good than bad – these days. I lost faith in the Catholic Church as an organization in my twenties, but I didn’t lose faith in the kindness and generosity of those who attend church.
