The 4400 was originally on USA Network, not the SciFi Channel. I remember watching the first season and I think I started on the second but then my schedule got all fouled up and I didn't have time to keep up with it. I might get through it all on DVD someday, unless I find it streaming online on a channel I can get with a Roku.

Sounds like a Couch Potato.

I'm entitled to nothing. Everything in life, including freedom, is a fight.

another question is,why should Religious Organizations be Tax-exempt,heck,some rake in inordinate amounts of Money?

Personally..I am very concerned about the missing Hawaiian Islands..

(I think Canada ate them, hence the bilious green shade.)

hmm.. I notice that Canada is colorless.. seems we don't even pose a THREAT

No, and neither WAS BUILDING NUMBER 7.
Which didn't have nearly as big a fire.

But you see what it did.

It collapsed.

I am also an ordained minister. But to have a nonprofit organization and "church" I would have to file it as a non-profit corporation and I would have to keep good books and contribute to charity etc. etc.

I did not do that because I believe that churches should pay taxes like everyone else.

But I am an ordained minister, and the High Priestess of the FIRST Universal Life Church of Brutal Truth and Honesty.

(formerly the Universal Life Church of hot-tubing and movie watching.)




I tried and failed to get tax exempt status after I received my 25 dollar Minister/ Church certificate back in "74 (when still living in southern Maryland), for my new church, "of The Holy Diaper"; it was a joke,(our priest didn't find it funny though) but I didn't fill out the forms properly; A friend in Washington got his Minister's license and sent in his tax-exempt forms and got it for his new Church, "Of The Holy Sandal", then he made himself the charity...go figure. He gave it up several years later when the novelty wore off; I was still disappointed...

Russia's tallest building burns- a raging inferno - but does not collapse.

Wonder of wonders. They must be much better architects than us.

I guess someone forgot to press the implode button and blame Islamic terrorists.

I loved the old Sci-Fi channel as it existed circa, oh, maybe 1996 through 2003 or thereabout. Watched Lexx, Stargate: SG-1, Farscape and reruns of Babylon 5. Once they began branching out into fantasy (which I don't mind but it ain't skiffy, yanno?), horror and soi-disant "reality" programming, they kind of lost me. And don't even get me started on wrestling (you could rename WWE to WTF and it'd be closer to truth in advertising).

Changing the name to 'SyFy' was a prime example of epic marketing research fail, if you ask me. Did you know that 'syfy' is slang for "syphilis" in Polish? I live in Cleveland, where a LOT of folks know Polish, and around here references to "the Syphilis Channel" abound among disgruntled sci-fi purists.

And the cheesy monster-of-the-week flicks? All right, maybe some of my dislike for those stems from my lack of a Y chromosome, I'll grant you that. Seems those go over better with guys than with women, and I say that as a woman who has otherwise been accused of having somewhat masculine tastes in entertainment. (I don't do many chick flicks as a rule, and I do enjoy The Three Stooges. Any questions?)


Eureka!! (no pun intended!) A kindred soul!!

But what really grinds my gears is all the paranormal stuff. I don't mind that shows in the Ghosthunters vein exist; I just don't like them muddying up the public perception of what is and isn't science fiction.

In reading over this, I realize I probably come off as some kind of curmudgeon (can a woman even be one of those?) but I guess it's just that I tend to prefer space opera and hard SF. Well, unless we're talking Doctor Who or the aforementioned Lexx. And yet... I wasn't a fan of the rebooted BSG universe, having preferred the lighter feel of the original. Perhaps this stems from my having had my fill of "dark and gritty" in everyday life around the time it hit the screen, I don't know.

These days, I get most of my sci-fi viewing via DVD or online stream. Not that I watch a lot of TV lately anyway -- when I'm at home but not goofing around here on Mingle2 or something, I'm often writing my own science fiction stories. Alas, there are only so many hours in the day.

according to our western culture/law,,,,yes

especially if 'love' involves sex,,,,

On occasion, they open the 'feedback' forum, if they
have the time and directive to make changes, right now,
it is closed.

Before you joined, hahafunnygirl, we had an 'Intimacy&Sex'
forum, in which generally all such topics were placed.

For advertising reasons/limitations, that has been in
abeyance for a while, and we don't know if it will return.

Meantime, the Rules:

and particularly:
"a) No explicit, sexual, offensive, insulting or
vulgar language. The Mingle2 forums are rated PG-13."

Very easy :-)
You place these tags on either side of the URL (link):

For example:



A lot of people on here use http://www.photobucket.com
as a host for pictures, it is FREE.
And, it actually gives you the complete link to copy and paste

Long overdue; irony is HARARE, Zimbabwe in general is now almost as bad, thanks to Mugabe...it never seems to end. All during the war, old Salisbury was wide awake 24-7, like Party Time!
