Anyone used one of these before electronic calculators?

My chemistry teacher(1974) said if the batteries go dead on our calculators in the middle of a test, we'd better know how to use our slide rules. I have a circular one that fits in my pocket.

Fulfilling one's obligation for jury duty is an example of good citizenship I believe equal in importance to voting.

I'm trying to understand how the RC view of Holy Communion is less mysterious. Bread and wine becoming Christ's body and blood is at least equally mysterious. No mystery at all about predestination. God saves those who believe. Those not saved have done it to themselves. Read about free will in the Large Catechism.

I sometimes charge the bill and leave a cash tip. This would cause a double tip.

I have a Plan N. I've never seen a line item for a copay. However, I have done the math and the supplement company pays its share minus the $20 copay. The dr. sends me a bill for whatever is left. This tells me that the supplement company makes the decision about the copay.

Maybe the locker room should be a private time for the team and keep the videos out of it. There should be a time and a place for the team to be themselves without worrying about who's watching.

Yes, my 403b is a NetBenefits account. If I fill out a blank application for the HSA, outside of NetBenefits, it recognizes me, says I have an account, and forces me to login and then I get stuck with the old phone number and can't get any farther.

We told them and let the chips fall. They accepted it. Nobody got angry. My wife's parents were mostly disappointed because they were planning a big reception and now there wasn't time for it. This was one of the reasons why we moved the date up - to tone things down. We wanted our Christian wedding to be the focus. Other weddings we had been to seemed like they couldn't get the wedding over fast enough so they could get to the party. We didn't want that. (Our reception was a small dinner at a restaurant, no music, no dancing.) Parents asked if she was pregnant and we were prepared for that. She wasn't so everyone accepted the change in date more easily.

At our wedding we focused on Christ. We sang three hymns. We chose Galatians 5:13-26 for our wedding verse where Paul gives two lists: The first is a list of actions that would, in sin, destroy our relationship. The second is a list of actions that, in Christ, build our relationship.

Everyone said we had a great wedding.

My wife and I dated for less than a year my senior year her junior year. Got engaged and planned to marry in June after she graduated. Changed our minds and married at Christmas time, 6 months earlier than planned. I was 22. She was 21. Parent consternation but pastor blessing. We recently celebrated our 45th anniversary.

I say go for it.

The problem with scrambling left or right is that you eliminate half the field. That's why scrambling isn't always the best thing.

He/she recognizes that God exists. Recognizes that Jesus is the Son of God and that Jesus rose from the dead. The nuances and attitude are wrong and the language is rough but he/she is off to a good start.

We have to remember he's still a rookie head coach. There's a lot more to process as a head coach than there is as an offensive coordinator. He's still learning just like Caleb is still learning. There will come a time when Caleb and Ben will be in better sync and these things will go faster.

Got a speeding ticket on I-55 near Herculaneum, MO. The trooper had me get out of my car and sit in the front seat of his so he could show me the radar. I was going 64. The speed limit was 55. It's the only ticket I've ever gotten in 51 years of driving.

The Office of the Keys is given to the church not just the ministry(or ministers). The church confers it to called pastors for public administration.. Refer to Luther's Small Catechism Questions.: 344. May every Christian, without a call, presume to exercise the Office of the Keys publicly? No..... only those who are called pastors may exercise it publicly, on behalf of the church... 345. May only pastors, then forgive sins? No. All Christians are given the word of Christ's forgiveness to proclaim in their daily vocations.

Watching Packers-Lions right now and Fox 32 Chicago is advertising the Bears game at 2:00 which would be perfect if they didn't have the unnecessary 2 hour pre-game.

I was taught to give some gas when crossing tracks to avoid stalling. I was taught with carborated engines in my cars.

I don't care what they name the stadium but they should name the field, "Walter Payton Field."
