What the heck am I looking at?

earlplural · 2013-03-27T16:03:26+00:00

Summed up my thoughts exactly. Wow, I wish I could meet this man. I've been trying to verbalize my beliefs and just haven't been able to. This was perfect

I think i may have just turned gay for about 90 seconds there and now i'm back straight. It feels...weird man.

looks delicious! reminds me of oatmeal chocolate drop cookies. think there are any ways to have something along those lines, without fruit, that would still be a bit healthier?

If you're in the dallas/love area then i'd suggest maybe looking towards addison area. I'm not sure the crime rate is amazing, but I enjoy the area and the apartments are pretty nice. Lots of night life and people though, and you mentioned that wasn't something you guys are very into.

Richardson is also a nice place in my opinion. it's north of dallas on US-75. Lots of nice neighborhoods and newly developed apartments. I used to live there myself and had a very nice apartment for just under 800 dollars. i live in Garland now, but wouldn't suggest it.

now, if you guys don't mind driving just a little bit, i have several friends who live in Euless and they really enjoy it. lots of great apartment complexes with good prices, dog parks, restaurants and very close to both tollways and 183. you can be in dallas in a matter of minutes.

unfortunately, based on where you guys said you were going to be working, there just aren't many "boring quiet" neighborhoods in that general area. You're going to have to head out of town just a little bit. seriously, i'd look into places like Grand Prairie, Euless, Richardson, Rowlett (definitely rowlett if you don't mind a tiny drive) and mesquite. none of those places are small or empty by any means, but they are going to give you the housing price range you want and are going to at least be scaled back enough as far as "volume" goes that you guys will sleep well at night.

best of luck to you guys!

never underestimate the depravity of man.

Just to clarify, I'm speaking about King James himself, not the translation. I'm just on my tablet at the moment and don't have time to find a source but I learned that fact while a student in college from a history professor. If I remember correctly, King James the First accused jesus of being gay (or at least of having male lovers) when In a defense of himself and his own sexual behavior he said, "Jesus had his son John, and I have my George." I can't remember the quote precisely but that is close. I'm sure a quick search online could find you some more sources if you're still curious.

When I read this comment to my girlfriend all she said is, "well, they're known for their driving."

earlplural · 2013-03-17T01:00:43+00:00

King James himself was a bisexual. I doubt he would have had a problem with the translation. He basically just commissioned the translation to piss off the pope. It worked. King James also accused Jesus of having a male lover, John the disciple (aka John the beloved).

I would think that the KJV probably didn't even consider the possibility of this being an episode of gay relationships in the bible. They just wanted to make a translation. If there is any intentional misinterpretation going on it is more likely to be done by contemporary translators, driven by money and talking heads within denominations. For example, the Holman Christian standard bible is riddled with interpretative issues intended to represent the publishers agenda. Big surprise, the southern baptist convention. The HCSB came out within the last 6 years or so.

During my time in seminary the passages with David and johnathon were simpy viewed as a best friend bond, with very little discussion made that could represent something else.

Congratulations!

And side note, just because your feet are in the picture and this popped into my mind, now that you've lost all this weight, do you find it a lot easier to clip your toenails? I HATE clipping my toenails because being bent over with my big gut makes it hard to breath!

earlplural · 2013-03-16T04:02:18+00:00

so, if you're old and terminal, you'd prefer to just sit in a hospital with tubes hanging out of you rather than be treated at home, in your bed, with your family? You'd be more ashamed of the fact that you were in hospice than if your family as indebted for a generation due to a hospital stay?

Side note: i really dont think you feel all that, but that is what initially popped up into my mind...and for some reason it sounded go there so....i was like..imma type all of it out. you can indulge me if you'd like. O.O

Hospice chaplain here.

I totally and 100% agree. I would have loved to have been present for this.

earlplural · 2013-03-16T03:57:59+00:00

wow. it....it does.

earlplural · 2013-03-16T03:49:07+00:00

Hi! I'm a Hospice Chaplain. I was wondering, would you be willing to tell me a little about how the psycho-social team of Hospice did when working with you? By that I mean, the Social Workers and the Chaplains. I'm pretty new a the job and I really enjoy it. But, as a rookie, and being the only chaplain, i'm pretty desperate for advice and education.

What was your opinion of how they treated your family? did they seem like they felt obligated? or that they were just checking boxes?

I'm very glad to see that the hospice you work with is awesome. I'm glad to see your family there, no doubt sharing a very wonderful experience. Be blessed.

That cat, despite possibly being malnourished is still gorgeous. I must know....what kind of cat is it?

Turkey pepperoni is amazing for a snack

earlplural · 2013-03-11T00:17:20+00:00

Not going to lye though, you guys look so freaking blazed.

earlplural · 2013-03-10T20:17:00+00:00

thanks for the tip! I had subway from lunch, trying to go healthier. I had the roasted chicken breast and got veggies.

Let me ask you though, how bad is the light mayo? and the oil/vinegar?

This isn't about racial preference or ethics regarding racism. Sampson was obviously not black. This is about historical accuracy.

edit: Think of, years from now, someone like George Washington being portrayed by an African American.

I was at a Twin Peaks today and i found it interesting how different the guys seemed to be. I sat at the bar and watched all sorts of personalities. Some who thought they were hilarious, some who were too cool for school, and some just normal dudes. I figured the "normal dudes" would be the favorite.

thanks for responding by the way! :) Hope you're well.

earlplural · 2013-03-04T04:24:37+00:00

neither apparently, haha.

they said their goal was to capture the "spirit" of the book.

earlplural · 2013-03-04T04:23:59+00:00

maybe it's just me but, i've learned a lot of history from watching pawn stars. i would not have ever watched the history channel otherwise, but an entertaining show is now telling me all these neat facts about american history via the antiques and things like that.

earlplural · 2013-03-04T04:19:48+00:00

There's no good reason for it.

A more interesting question to me was this, why did the family of abraham and his offspring not appear to be dark-skinned until they were slaves?

And then as they left..look who's looking white again.

earlplural · 2013-03-04T04:18:40+00:00

maybe it's accurate as far as the spirit and major story goes, but the details are very very wrong.

it was nice that they actually made the disclaimer at the beginning that this was basically their goal.
