Pork chop pie!
|

That recipe was a variation of my grandfather's by my father. The original was as follows 36 bar-b-gue pork chops. 12 for a lower crust, 12 for filling, and 12 for the upper crust. My grandfather's also included as a side dish......cold beer! Followed by cursing of cars that were trying to run him over.....that were not there! Granpa was fun!!!!

Your computer will work well or lousy depending on the information put in to it, it is a collecting effect. But do you let just anyone put information in to it......of course not. You protect it from bad progams and add good ones to make it work better.
It is the same with your mind and ego. Protect it!....people are trying to put bad things in and viruses to corrupt the good programs within. Feed you mind and ego always or someone else will. |

Take 36 nice pork chops and fry them to a golden brown. Take a large pie plate and place twelve on the plate for the lower crust. Use the next twelve as filling and of course the last twelve as the upper crust. Serve hot! Makes one serving!

I will not discuss, only put forth this due to the nature of this forum.
There is no conflict between evolution and creation. The Earth was created for an abode for the Angels. Those on the Earth were to learn and tend it. Evolution did occur during this time. When Satan found sin within, he and a third of the Angels tried to de-throne God and accend to the third Heaven. The war that came destroyed much and made the Earth desolate and a wasteland. God then re-formed the surface of the Earth in Genesis. He made many things after its kind (Noah saved on the Ark animals after its kind...same use of word as in Genesis) and they were simular to the old that had evolved before under the care of the Angels. But mankind was made after the image of God and not of the old. This re-creation took place as the Bible teaches and evolution did occur before and after the Genesis period. In spite of some and their remarks.......read your Bible...it is there. This is NOT my own made up thing as some will say and proclaim.....Please read the Bible! I await insults without reply.

A serious question
|

I do know that I only have a few years left. Five is an optomistic number. Therefore, I refuse to really date as I feel it is just wrong to chance letting someone vest emotions in me when I know that I am going to die fairly soon. It just seems cruel. I am not afraid of not finding someone, I am afraid of the pain I would cause them if I did find them and everything went wonderfully. Trying to minimize the collateral damage from my death. It should be their choice! If a woman would not leave a man because he is dying, then why can't a woman chose to be with a man who is. It is like not having a child because of the pain for the woman. But the pain will be forgotten after the child is born. The same with this, after the pain ends, the memories of the love remains long after the pain. Do people cry forever because of a death.....No! They speak of good things, of stories, and of love......and even dream of that which could have been. Cyclops |

A sad part of life with most things is, that great effort can be put into some thing for years....but destruction can be complete in seconds. So care for each word and action should be taken....because of some things a "Sorry" can not repair.

Fly problem???

A single fly lives about four days! You could wait!
The bag is to make moisture and them not cross. I don't know of it working! Use a wire fly swat! The plastic ones are so thick in the screen as to slow down your strike and the fly gets away. Wire! If you will give rubber bands to the kids and the big kids called grown ups. Show them how to wrap the band on the middle finger, come up and around the first finger (palm to back), then press the thumb to the rubber band and pull tight. You now have a great fly body splatter. You come slowly and release.....bug parts all over the place. great for all kids. My 74 year old uncle had more fun one week on a visit when I showed him how.......he would look for several minutes to find just one more fly to murder! |

The first house is a great thing. Consider in time buying a second home....renting it out! The first house is all cost, but the second can put money into your pocket to help pay for the first and itself. In time you may be a rich person with many homes to rent. You are young, begin now to educate yourself on doing such. Best wishes and good fortune!

Seriously though, if anyone thinks I am going overboard PLEASE tell me but if this is not the most passive aggressive thing I have seen on a forum yet I will stand on my head till my ears are turning red! I seriously am trying hard to be civil yet damn! Cyclopes, please do not tell me you are Born Again! There are two flavors. One is not so bad. They are the ones who are looking back to the scriptures to find the answers they could not find otherwise. They can be questioned and argued with but in the end they are still just people like anyone else. I can get along with this flavor. My boss is BAC and we get along even with our philosophical differences. Then there are the ones like my father. Talking in tongues, blaming everything on Demon possession. Weekly exorcisms! I mean they make Jehova's Witnesses come off as normal. God don't be one of those! They are the WORST know it alls on the planet! Compared to them I am a effing saint! And that is saying a LOT! Seriously everyone, am I really being a bastard here or am I actually expressing myself passionately? I am not out to insult but I can sure see one tendered under a civil guise. That Ghandi crap will not phase me. All it will do is make me look deeper into you and believe me, I am the last person on this planet you want in your head. If you have a skeleton I will eventually find it. Do not mistake passion for insult. That is a bad mistake! One that can discredit anyone including me if i were to openly show such disdain for social intercourse. We already have a member who devolves to racism every time someone argues her belief system in politics. What you keep doing is just a soft version of the same tactic. I play intellectual "chew toy" with people like that. If I really wanted to insult you I could and do it in a way that would get right into the core of your soul. I don't want that because I am bigger than that. You don't want that because it is a shame to make an adult cry. The mods do not want that because then we degenerate into a scum site. The others here don't want that because it brings us all down and ruins a good thing. So please, if you choose to insinuate and toss innuendo around in brief one liners be ready for me to really dig into you. I hate that behavior and have my own ways of dealing with it. I have been learning to behave myself thanks to the mods here (Yeah I test the fence a lot but I still respect all of you a lot, your job is not easy and I know it!) and also thanks to the civility and intelligence shown by others I have seem more to this world than I have before. I would hope this can be a learning experience for you as well and that you can grow more as a person but by your remarks your growth has come to a halt! How can you even hope remotely to be involved a in a serious relationship if you act like you do here? If you are so unyielding here no real woman of substance will want to do anything with you. the best you can hope for is some messed up basket case for a relationship. If God didn't want us to ask questions why did he make us so smart and also give us Free Will? There is no perfect answer. That is the only real truth to God I can express. Seriously, I am not out to insult ANYONE! That is not respect, that is not civil, and that especially is not adult. Like I said, I am very passionate! I want to live life for living, not live my life for God! This is MY life and not God's. Let God live God's life. You know the one thing I would really love to do is learn how to walk in grace in such a effed up world! That is the highest pursuit of any religion! How about you???? For your sake, for an understanding of me. I am not Catholic or Jehovah Witness. I am not of any of the nominal churches. They have taken the Gospel of Truth and made it lies. These are those whom you speak of and may have hurt you. I am no part of them. I seek truth and knowledge with a pure intent for my better and only wish to help others in all ways. I am not "Born Again", that is a perverted teaching of the nominal who are teaching anitchrist, thinking they do God's work. Forgive them they are under the spirit of the great deceiver. Persons are not born into spirit until the coming return of Christ and the first resurrection. Only Christ was born as of yet, being the first born of many breathern. I am sorry for your opinion of me without knowing me. I can only assure you I am not that way. I seek to walk in peace with all, in truth and in the Kingdom to come. I will not continue here for it is not in the best interest of any. Now let me leave in peace and friendship, one man to all others with best wishes of life as they find it. Peace! Cyclops |

I bit of information. If your cat walks away and shakes his back leg at you...it is a sign of disgust or disapproval of you.
In years past the Jehovah Witnesses here, If you did not hear their message they would shake the dust of their feet as a sign of rebuke. ( They did error in the doing---another subject.) Since they did this and my cat did likewise.........I ask my pastor if my cat was a Jehovah Witness...just for fun! He laughed while trying to control himself. LOL I'm a baaaaaaaaad boy! LOL |

The God of the old testament was Elohim made of God the Father and the Logos. The Logos was the God walking and talking to the sons of God. This Logos later laid down his immortal life and became flesh being Christ. The Logos was God and with God in the Elohim. what fairytale book does this come from? Markum! For once I agree with you 100%. I would swear this was from the Book of Mormon, the one brand of Christianity that is the BIGGEST lie short of Scientology! The God of Jews is Jehova, The God of Christians is Yahweh, Supposedly the real God has no name. All Gods is is "I am." WTF? Why is the Bible written in Stereo? I am sorry but you error greatly! YHWH is Hebrew. It has no vowels written because the name was too Holy to speak. The same YHWH has been guessed at as both by both. Jesus had a Hebrew name and a Greek name. If you will look at his Greek name it is very close to the name of the Old Testament name of YHWH. So! The Jehovah is a close Englished version of the Hebrew for YHWH. Yahweh is far from being close. Look in your Strong's for proper pronuciation. That is a very tall high horse you are riding my friend! First and foremost debate leads to understanding. Those that are partially familiar with any subject are allowed to make their mistakes and learn from them. It is all part of learning and growing. I was raised on the bible in a Lutheran Grade school. Please do not come off like some kind of scholar looking down your nose at the rest of us. You have no idea how educated I am or am not. The names cited are written that way in every bible I have ever seen. I do not read or speak Hebrew so I am sorry if my spelling is 'incorrect.' There is a chance I was having philosophical arguments about the hypocrisies in Christian doctrine vs. the scriptures LONG before you even had any grasp of what religion even is or knew about Strong's. As a 12 year old child I was asking questions that freaked out Catholic priests. In high school I actively got into it with Master Theologians in the Catholic church. As child I punished philosophers. Then I got to take Critical Reasoning in college and had a BRUTAL teacher. I missed an A- by 4 lousy points in his class. I earned the B+ in his class and he assured me I worked for it. it made me more dangerous to philosophers because I can find holes in almost any argument. That does not make me right or perfect. It is one thing to be right but to be arrogantly right is just snobbery! Heck, even I have my moments but will admit to them when caught. Just because you have facts in a debate does not mean you are right or will win. Proper debates end in some form of consensus. Again debate is part of a learning process. The deepest fact of all is that all religion is an illusion and a lie. Show me a man who is so perfect they can walk on water. Now I was clear in an earlier post on this thread I was not sure but it sounded like something particular to me. In that I am qualifying I am not exactly sure and if someone has the proper information then I am groovy with being corrected. Here is a question I would love to see your answer to Cyclopse... If God, Allah, Jehova, Yahweh... (Whatever!) is so damn powerful why is it I need to hear what God has to say though a prophet? PLEASE! What is so wrong with my hearing that God can't tell me for him, her, itself what to do in life? The fact is God is nothing like any of us will or ever will understand. Everyone has the right answer but all the right answers conflict one another. I love how the Mormon's claim their faith was based on Golden Plates the Nefi too back. To me the Bible is one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated. It was written by the Catholic Church based on Paraphrased scriptures so that the book fitted their ideals and not the fundamental ideals of Jesus Christ And Christ in Greek means KING. Bet you didn't think I knew that, did ya? If someone is going to shove the 'word of God' down my throat they had better have a phone line to God or else they are blowing smoke up all our azzes. I also love how people try to use that tired argument that we can't hear god. Only special people can. That alone is proof enough for me to deny the God we all are supposed to love. Again if God is so all powerful God can speak clearly for God's self. I have no idea what is really right but I know this, I am out to find out for myself and if God does appear on me God will know I intend to punch him her it in the nose. A false God will get hit and be surprised I did it. I could give a rat's azz less if that entity is really powerful enough to do bad things to me. I will NOT bow or kneel to ANY God including the supposedly "all powerful" God. If I am a child of God I intend to grow to be like God. And to think both Christians and Islamics would take my words as Heresy. So what! This is MY life and MY soul and NOT theirs! IN that alone I walk alone seeking the real truth outside of all the "belief" systems we have in front of us. There is too much for any one person to know. If you are a master Theologian groovy! I had one for a Philosophy teacher and I dropped his class. His mind was more narrow than a piece of string! And your final words are you are withdrawing from this discussion? My friend, you came to a gunfight with a knife. Abracadabra is one of the most literate people here when it comes to religion. Crossing paths with him is DANGEROUS making any assumptions around him. He is one of the greater minds here and I openly acknowledge that! We have crossed paths before on the boards. At least he can openly debate things in a formal manner bereft of "correcting" everyone for everything. Abracadabra! I withdraw in obedience to scripture. Peace! Don't think I am sucking up either, if I catch you making a slip I will call you on it as well. I just promise to so so in a manner fitting the debater. Just the same, ROCK ON! I withdraw in obedience to scripture. Peace! |
