More expensive than gas these days. Random Name, your avatar is clearly an upright being. I thought it was a spider, or maybe a crab, but now it looks like an overweight, upright turtle standing in the corner when I get up close to the monitor. hmmm Don't tell. I made the mistake of answering questions about my avatar out of guilt for having a working one when no one else could get theirs to work. Learn from my mistake.

I'm already in trouble with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughtcrime" rel="nofollow">Thought Police</a> here. Meanwhile I contemplate all the prayers for me arising in the sky like smoke, along with qwerty’s denunciations of me for being an agnostic wuss.

Thanks Random. I’m already in trouble with the Thought Police here.

It's hard to know when Random is pulling my leg. If you are serious, though, here's the organization I'd like you to donate to: Outreach North America, the home missions organization for my denomination, the ARP church. Here's the website, and the address can be found there as well: http://www.outreachnorthamerica.org If you have any questions, email me/contact me via my Gairney Bridge blog. I’m a winner?!?

I have been struggling for several weeks to get an icon to work (hideously embarrassed all the while). That was the first successful one. Actually, nobody has guessed what it is or where it came from. Maybe when I have time I will try again. Never credit a conspiracy when simple incompetence will do.

Of course, at that size it is blurry. When at regular size, it reminds me of a tick. I guess living near the woods with deer all around must have something to do with it. I hope it doesn’t carry lyme disease! trr #46: Now that Random Name has that cute little kiwi (or whatever it is) on a white background for a avatar…

Not becaus I know anything about this family or their school. She spends money like water, and I think there should be an investigation. And I was very surprised about Mrs. Roberts.

I went to law school while working full time, and this was exhausting for someone in her late 30s. I didn't lose my voice entirely, but I was so tired, it squeaked. So I tried not to talk as much as possible. (You can still type and communicate that way!) My voice did get better after school ended, but I can no longer sing -- even when I'm alone. It just doesn't come out for long. Hopefully, all you need is a good rest! And yes, I'm praying for you because I know you're worried. It's a scary thing, but you don't have enough "facts" so wait for the test and think positively. Kim, what do you mean by "rumblings?" I saw the Meet the Press interview, and I thought it was a good interview. If people like Bill Cosby and Prof. Pouissant (I doubt I spelled his nane correctly) don't speak up, who will? They are saying things that need to be said. I have a black friend who is a "Sister Elder" in her church and she's been saying these same things in her church and community for years. It doesn't have the same effect when a white person tells a black kid that learning math isn't black or white, it's just math. I hope Mr. Cosby succeeds in his mission.
