God on McCain's Side?
At a McCain event, as the crowd waited for McCain himself to arrive, Pastor Arnold Conrad of the Grace Evangelical Free Church of Davenport, Iowa, gave an invocation that included the following: "I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day."
New Game
it's time for a new game...stole this from another board...they won't mind...nothing is original
MOVIE Double Feature.
~ The first person prints 2 movie titles that might appear on a movie marquee. He/she chooses two titles that link in an interesting , funny , or unusual way that might cause a person to take a second look.
~The 2nd person takes the 2nd of the 2 movie titles and links a new movie title to it in the same way.
~and so on...
example: Old Men/ Three Men and a Baby
next reply: Three Men and a Baby/ Yours Mine and Ours
OK...I will start it out with...Romeo and Juliet/ Romeo Must Die

Howdy Saturday nighters!
OMG, it's so good to have a computer. My neighbor lent me her laptop for today and tomorrow.
After that, I'll be puterless again until I get to Kansas around the 25th or so.
I was sitting on my couch and had just turned to weather channel to see where the storm was heading, when a gigantic boom hit. It knocked me right off the couch onto my ass on the floor, that's how loud it was. Scared the sh*t outta me. My TV went out and I ran into the computer room and saw all kinds of hallucinogenic colors. I turned it off, but it was too late...it's dead too. Then I started noticing it was getting hot, and I went to the thermostat which is digital and it was blank...no air!
Then I pick up the phone to call the cable company and my phones were dead.
Am I happy to be leaving Florida? Oh hell yes!!! But it had to give me one more kick in the ass.
The ac was not covered for lightening. I don't think anything here is, but I will call my home insurance company on Monday and see if anything can be reimbursed.
So, I'm here for the weekend. :-)

Thomas Paine
This quote by Paine is possibly more relevant at this time in our history than it was when he wrote it.His words need to be listened to very carefully. A man of political genius whose sage and savvy shall live on forever.
The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth. 'Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent- of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe. 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. Now is the seed time of continental union, faith and honor. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; The wound will enlarge with the tree, and posterity read it in full grown characters.

Answer & Ask...
This idea came from another group manager who is doing the same in her group with much success. It sounded like fun, so I thought we'd try it. Basically, I will ask the first question, and the first person to reply will answer my question and ask one of their own. Kind of like 20 questions, but one at a time. Strictly small talk, basically one-liners, try to keep it fun. It would be easy to get off track if we all jumped on the same post, but let's see how it goes. OK, here's the first question:
Are you a morning person or night person?
