not a catholic finksy and other relatively newer guys would know that im not a catholic 'not that theres anything wrong with that' its ok cap, i dont make it easy for you i only make it easy for those who are already going my way if you are not going my way then you will read the scroll left to right not down to up Not on purpose but by the very nature of going different ways. So lemme put it in a way that will be pretty good at explaining it and that way is an analogy about church and tithe lets say you go to a church and they keep talking about tithe you go back the next week and this time they sing a song about tithing and the third time you go some speaker says something about how not tithing is stealing from god now the guy keeps going to the church for a year and never tithes he gives money when the offering plate comes but never gives 10% of his surplus. and he gripes that the members dont invite him to their events anymore that they give him the cold shoulder and dont really want to have conversations with him past being nice and polite when before they used to sit and chat and laugh at his jokes now this dude has a suspicion that something fishy is going on he reads and finds a series of holes in the teachings of the ministers constantly asking for money or maybe subconsciously he understands that the minister driving a mercedes and living in a mansion from the tithe money cannot be right but its been a year and he keeps going he enjoys going because there are still people who give him some attention and because maybe the only family he has goes there but he does not believe in it for real at least the part about the tithe so he never tithes is he smart for not giving 10% of his surplus to these grifters? or is he a schmuck and watching their show and eating their food and the company of a social club without putting in your part? giving an offering is not doing your part, that is less than the least you can do if you like the show enough to keep coming week after week then pay the damn tithe because you are in a country club now nobody will tell you straight up that this is how it is its up to you to wise up to the game if you sniff its a trap then its best you keep quiet and move along if you think you can do better but if you stick around and don't contribute then we gonna fuck with you until you do or until you leave or until we can find a use for you because your a schmuck so is tithe a good thing in this story? no, not if you dont believe in what you are doing its also not good to go to a church that asks for tithes and not tithe its like slavery is slavery good? no, but if slavery is legal and you happen to be a slaver please dont beat your slaves or kill them because they are not really yours even if you paid for them see how its slowly shaming you into knowing that having a slave is wrong but if you do it do it gently because things can always be worse i mean i can sucker punch you give you a black eye and knock out a tooth because you fucked my daughter in anger i may want revenge and decide to fuck you up real good because you damaged my pride or some bullshit so i wait for you in the dark and beat you senseless with a crowbar or i could have squared off with you like a man and been direct and punch you in the eye and sock you in your mouth. hell after that we might have looked at each other with our black eyes and swollen lips and find some common ground and have a beer or few and thanked the lord that we remember that it says eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth which means that justice is understandable, but revenge is for animals now it does not say that verbatim just like nobody tells you that you HAVE to tithe at the church and nobody tells you that you should move along if you dont but you know it you can feel the electromagnetic changes of the room if not then you keep going to church and you keep eating their food and they keep fucking with you and you keep eating shit and you know im not really talking about church but it applies to all unions
its like when they make zone defense legal and made hand checking illegal and a bunch of other little rules changes and changes to how referees tended to officiate other rules made it so certain teams realized that it was no longer financially viable to do things the 'normal' way a new way or just different way had to be found one that took the most advantage of the new rules the teams that understood this faster and adapted their front office and traded/drafted for the right players to fit into this system before others have a distinct advantage its very evolution like a soft player who could not make it in the game as more than a backup can now be a key contributor and get paid other clunky guys who used to be 20 and 10 locks now cant and wont the truth of what is value changes all the time if you dont have present truth you will have old legit truths that will be future true lies. but people always gotta eat and they always gotta go to the coliseum and watch the show they love fresh meat... properly grilled
The chemical fire is out, but a horror remains. Benzene in the air in Texas...and it is heavier than air. So, it lingers at ground level and does not dissipate readily at all. Deadly. "Stay indoors and hold your breath" ...
True. 7 out of every 10 businesses that open are restaurants. More than half fail within 3 years. Or was it 2 years?
This is it in a nutshell. Knowing that you've helped make other lives better is a sweet piece of pie.
you know that getting into a car is the most dangerous thing in the world you know the philistines are huge powerful warriors and we are as young grasshoppers in comparison and they might be giants but we got bigger balls
People open restaurants to make money so they fail quick when the money runs out. People open restaurants to make good food in an area that is lacking that type of food. If your goal is to make a lot of money you will then use your creative powers to start a restaurant and it may go well. If your goal is to use your creative powers to start a restaurant you will make enough money and it will go well. If you dont find where the demand is your supply is less effective.
Listening to this conversation of rock legends Orel and Joe, concerning the R&R HoF, why doesn't some group say " thanks, but no thanks" to induction, citing "we appreciate the thought, but we can't go in ahead of Harry Nilsson"... A classy way of saying the voters are fucking huge assholes. Should have happened years ago. Some of the names in there now, considering Nilsson isn't, are laughable and assinine. Thank you.
Mr. Rogers says: " welcome to the neighborhood, John Hinckley ...no more assassination attempts, Ok? "
Yesterday the FTC announced that they have won a court order against four separate operations that have been “bombarding consumers nationwide with billions of unwanted and illegal robocalls pitching auto warranties, debt-relief services, home security systems, fake charities, and Google search.” The FTC also went after one company that provided the software platform used to make more than one billion illegal robocalls. Some of these groups spoofed caller IDs to trick you into answering.; With the Federal Trade Commission’s victory in court, they received an order that banned the defendants from making robocalls and most telemarketing activities. The court also imposed millions of dollars in fines judgment against the groups. “We have brought dozens of cases targeting illegal robocalls, and fighting unwanted calls remains one of our highest priorities,” said Andrew Smith, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “We also have great advice on call-blocking services and how to reduce unwanted calls at www.consumer.FTC.gov.” This is not the end of robocalls but hopefully a first step to cracking down on companies who make illegal robocalls. ---------------- A drop in the bucket? Perhaps but I'll take it
Actually Bowie did, just not showing up or entering any kind of acknowledgement and the Sex pistols fully admonished them Steely dan mocked it but when you have run dmc and so many other non rock bands in there and no SRV, Doobies, the Cure on and on its just stupid
Thanks, Devil. I didn't know that...interesting. But what I really meant was refusing and mentioning Harry by name. I mean this is the guy the Beatles answered as their " favorite group" when asked the question. His music is all over the place, still being covered to this day, soundtracks to motion pictures, TV, a huge part of rock history and it's foundations. Of course, he was no Roxy Music or Janet Jackson. But I think you'll agree, you don't have to have a point to have a point...
really cool (or not) story back when i was in the cub scouts (late 60's) i won some prize that i had to go pick up from the scout hdqts. it was at devonshire downs (diablo knows the place) so my mom takes me there to pick up (what i presumed would be) some lame prize but no... it was 5 lps! in no particular order... - jefferson airplane/crown of creation - beatles/white album - src/src - the doors/waiting for the sun - harry nillson/aerial ballet i was of course already well aware of the beatles, jeffereson airplane and the doors but src and nillson were new to me so i actually ended liking them best
they're really good others good psychedelic bands from those days you may/may not know... ultimate spinach blues magoos country joe and the fish 13th floor elevators
A fine name for such a noble creature...straighter than narrow. Arrow was the designated name for my dog in my avatar, but after we rescued him, Murphy fit him so well, it just stayed. Please post a picture of Arrow when he/she joins your family.
hard to believe... she looks perfectly sane lol Bride busted for embezzling $93K for her wedding gown and a butt lift by Elise Solé | Yahoo Lifestyle — 28 March 2019 A soon-to-be bride who embezzled $93K to pay for her wedding dress — and a butt lift — was caught by police. According to a press release sent to Yahoo Lifestyle by the Stafford County Sherrif’s Office in Virginia, Vanessa Cline, 32, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly charging $93K on a credit card issued to her employer No Limits Construction in Fredericksburg, where she was a bookkeeper. Detectives investigated Cline on March 12 after a credit card agency threatened to close the No-Limits business account for nonpayment. The owner then found the personal transactions: a $2,000 bridal gown, a $25,000 wedding planning service and a $7,200 butt lift performed at Elite Plastic Surgery in Miami, Fla. Clothing, fragrances, furniture, travel tickets and an ATV were further charges, and according to the News & Advance, Cline paid for a Miami hotel room to recover from the butt lift. Police said Cline allegedly forged five checks in the amount of $10,000. A representative of Elite Plastic Surgery confirmed to Yahoo Lifestyle that Cline already had the surgical procedure. A No-Limits Construction representative did not return Yahoo Lifestyle’s interview request. According to police, a former No Limits employee in Cline’s role pled guilty to embezzling more than $150,000 between 2016 and 2018. On Thursday, Cline was booked into the Rappahannock Regional Jail with an $8,000 bond. She is charged with 15 counts of embezzlement, forgery and uttering (using a forged document). According to News & Advance, Cline’s wedding is, presumably, upcoming.
