So many people have posted insulting things,
I completely regret having created this thread
that gave them a forum to vent.

Just an idea. Maybe something so intimate and potentially prickly as discussing someone's personal God shouldn't be done in such an open forum for to do so comes the risk of one's feelings getting hurt either intentionally or unintentionally. It takes a very thick skin to discuss God on an open forum.

My feelings are not hurt.

Before I retired and was physically disabled,
I served 2 years as pastor of a church among nice people
and 10 years as evangelist among vicious people.

My mistake was thinking that everyone here would just read my request and keep it in mind if they felt led to do so.

I honestly did not expect anyone to be snotty.
I honestly did not expect anyone to post replies at all.

For 10 years I expected it from anti**********
but I did not expect it from friends here.

I blame myself.
I opened the door and they felt free to do it.

I hope the administrator either locks this thread
or, better yet, deletes this thread.
I don't want to be the source of antagonism here.
I'll leave permanently rather than be the source of antagonism that ruins the site for everybody.

@BigDub said in A little humour:

When I was still working, one of my friends was the maintenance person for the same store I worked in.
A woman in one of the departments was never comfortable with the temperature. It was either too hot or too cold. She constantly demanded, pleaded with my friend to do something about it......every day. At least.
One day, he decided to surprise her and showed her that he had installed her own thermostat, right there on the column near her work area. See, he said, turn it this way and it will get warmer, and this way, to the left, it will get cooler, just like that!
She never, ever, complained again.
End of story.
Not so fast, there. He, my friend, never wired it to anything...and when she retired, he gave her the thermostat in a box with a bow on it. Here. Now you can be comfortable wherever you go, he said.

I love that story !!!!!!!

I wonder if it also explains how those little pills do so much for men...

@BigDub said in Artist on BOARD:

Here's another one, if you please.......

I am still stunned by how beautiful those paintings are.

Some of them remind me of being on my grandparents' farm 60 years ago,
a time and place that I miss so much it moves me to tears.

So your paintings not only speak to my eyes,
they even speak to my heart.

I seriously thank you for blessing me with a few moments of wonderful memories that your paintings induce.

@Newell-Post said in no prayer requests allowed:

Well, there are some prayers or prayer requests that wouldn't be appropriate for this kind of site because they express the primacy of one particular religion or derogate others. But there are more generic prayers that, while not everyone's "cup of tea", should not be overly offensive.

But my religion is the only one that is right.

Never-the-less, in deference to the rules of this Web site,
I will refrain from quoting from the New... Oops...

@Tobylou8 said in A little humour:

I frequently reminisce about my very earliest memories,
when I was about 5 years old in 1961.

We got a fancy new console TV.
Black and white.
With a remote control !!!!!!!!!!

But you would have to see it to believe it.
There was only 1 button on the remote control.
And when you pressed that button,
a motor actually turned the dial.
You could see and hear the channel dial turning clock-wise.
click-click-click-click.
And it could only get you one UHF station.
You had to go to the TV and turn a separate UHF dial by hand to the UHF station you wanted.
So that when the remote went to channel 11 then 12 then 13 then UHF, that would be the UHF channel yu would get.

It was like the cheesy equipment you see on old episodes of the original Star Trek.

But we had some of the best TV technology of the time !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The heading for the Lounge section says that no religious posts are allowed.

I will obey that restriction by NOT posting my prayer request.

Although I have much studying to do for my FCC exam on September 7th,
and I am afraid that I won't remember everything I need to know,
and I am afraid that I won't be able to find transportation for me and my electric wheel chair to the FCC testing site
for the test at 9 am to Noon on September 7th, which is a Saturday morning,

I will respect the prohibition against religious posts.

So I will refrain from posting my prayer request,
even though passing the FCC exam on September 7th means so very much to me.

*** Bless.

On the WHAS radio news today at Noon,
I swear it said that people who use more "emoji's" get more sex.

But I don't understand how this is supposed to work,
because no chicks hang out here...

Morris / moshe

I finally figured it out.

The radio news story said that people who use more "emoji's" have more sex.
It didn't say that such people had a partner...

30 years ago I was interested in Ham radio.
I obtained my Advanced Class license, but never had the money to buy a radio "rig".

Anyway,
a tradition in ham radio was to obtain confirmation of contacts
with as many states and countries a possible.

How many states and countries are represented here ?

I born in California, Missouri.
Raised in Grandview, Missouri, a suburb south of Kansas City.
Moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota,
then Dallas, Texas,
then Bowling Green, Ohio.
Then I moved to Louisville, Kentucky, in 1992 to take a job in the engineering department of a TV station.

I have lived in Kentucky longer than in any other place in my life,
but I will never feel at home here.
I often joke that I am not a low-class Kentuckian,
because I am a high-class Missourian with culture and sophistication, as Harry Truman was famous for.

One woman once complained to Mrs. Truman,
"Your husband is always saying "manure"".
Mrs. Truman replied,
"It took me 30 years to get him to use that word".

Then there was the time that a reporter criticized the concert of Truman's daughter.
Truman threatened to whip his...

I think we have folks from the Netherlands, Austria, Australia, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Nigeria, Canada? I am not 100% certain of all of these.
Me? Born in Norwegian Lutheran Hospital, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, parents both Norwegian American. Now I live in Hillsborough, NJ.

You would have felt right at home in Minneapolis.
Full of Swedes and Finns and other Scandanavians.
An old woman taught me how to do the "skoni" accent,
which she always laughed at.
The accent of stereotypical Swedes as seen in movies.

As a person of German Baptist ancestry, I too found it amusing.

Hold on here, a minute. I see no mention of Norwegians. Just saying.

I wasn't born yesterday.

I did a Google search.

There is no such place as North Weegia...

A friend of mine recently went on a fantastic African safari vacation. One morning Bob was able to get up before everyone else and get a great shot ( photo. PHOTO ) of a bull elephant while still in his pajamas.
How that elephant fit into his pajamas I'll never figure out!

About 5 years ago I showed up for a doctor appointment.

I was taken to an examination room.

The nurse said,
"The doctor will be with you shortly."

I laughed at her choice of words,
because from previous visits I knew that the doctor was 7 feet tall.

She should have said,
"The doctor will be with you tally".
