| I used to find the bible really difficult to understand. After awhile I gave up and drifted away from the church. A few years ago I found the NIV version of the bible. I believe the KJV that I had gotten as a kid was written in such old english that it was mostly meaningless to me. This version writ... |

| Have you noticed? They always hammer the nail down that's sticking up. You get noticed because you are a bent nail in a world of straight nails. Find a box full of bent nails and nestle in. We are all around you. It's OK to be a straight nail when the situation insists. You who are bent can pretend ... |

You are too precious and too important to end it all. We have a rule where I work that " No one should ever make any life, lov... |

I remember getting headaches and getting paranoid and being almost completely dysfunctional. Someone pulled out a joint one night and it was... |

| We just bought a new Scrabble game that has more tiles and a larger board. It is called Super Scrabble. There are quadruple word scores and more Z's and Q's. The kids and I played last night and all of us scored into the 200's. My wife skunked us all with a 350. It is fun if you want a little more o... |

| I have noticed over the years that those who use bad grammar are oblivious to the effect they have on those of us who are well-read and know the King's English. I think it is the same as someone who is playing a song on an instrument that is out of tune or singing off key in abandon. They don't hear... |

| You might try to pop open the hood and check the air intakes for clogging. I had one that I used on my desk for a few years and it did the same thing. I got it apart and found dog and cat hair and dust had completely filled the intakes but they are more or less hidden behind a cowling of sorts. The ... |

| Interesting subject. I am told that proprioception is a function of the parietal lobe of our brains. This lobe receives and interprets sensations like pain, temperature, touch, pressure, size, shape and more to the point, body-part awareness or proprioception. Also this lobe participates in hearing,... |
