Today was arms day and I can feel it arms are burning.
Old Rummy got in a little jitter bugging with the squat rack and mike sang
Missy, that seems to be one of his favor it songs, wish he would learn the
words.
Really looking forward to Wednesday, leg day. I intend to have a good sore
week and feel good about this week.
OK kids, off your duff and on the benches lets go you're half a day behind
right now.

No, I made sure my Nephews had some nice Easter Baskets and some toys
with the usual candy treats, (my sister will ration those!) and I made
some good Rib Eye steaks with Asparagus for Easter dinner.

Hey I spent about 4 hrs at an easter egg hunt/party for my daughter (despite
being an atheist) but still managed an hour bike ride. But that was nice of
you to make toys and dinner for the fam.

Sorry... I don't generally do the "spelling" thing.
I was half-snockered from the wine I had with the Rib-eye steak. <g>

I'm just glad they moved back from Arizona so I can watch my nephews
grow up...
You sound like a really good uncle. I was uncle to my older sibs' kids for
yrs. Now they're all grown. I finally got a real late start at age 46 and
had one of my own kids. You ever thought about having your own?
That's a myth, Burr. Everyone's scared for their lives in a foxhole (or the
equivalent) but if they're honest with themselves and don't buy into what
they have always regarded as fairy tales, they don't find religion as an
easy way out. The only just god I could believe in is one who does't punish
you for remaining true to your principles.
Unlikely to happen.
I'll just enjoy sis's kids. She's 10 years younger.
Congrats tho', it's cool that you finally have a kiddo of your own.
Boy or girl?
Girl. Three yrs old. Dang cute if you ask me but I'm kinda biased.
Dunno about you but bottom line for me is that the reality of a god in the
mode of judeo-xian religions resonates no more than a Spotted Fluffy
Monster. I try to live a good life, help others, use common sense, and if
that's not enough to satisfy whatever god might exist, then fuck him.

Whatever works... ;-)
According to Judeo-Christian tradition, you are supposed to be scared of
punishment. That's the right thing to do. Those who aren't scared are
sinners, and they will be punished even harder.
Now, I've no idea how Fluffy sees things here. He could be that vicious
kind of bastard, who rewards only those who don't bother him with
prayers and punishes those who worship the wrong gods or do their rites
wrongly. Gods in Nethack do just that.

There is this concept of gnosis, which means that God can influence you
directly and will help you choose right. Although he may not care for
you much, and not influence you. Or you may shut yourself off from his
influence (which I think is close to official understanding of how it
supposedly goes).

You may safely try Nethack. http://www.nethack.org/v343/Guidebook.html

Information is immaterial. What makes you really you has very little to
do with a carrier itself, so this soul concept isn't all stupid.

Welcome to MFW.
Burr
PS, I still don't know who has gone to the gym yet.
Look in to immune system boosting supplements.
I personally recommend milk thistle. It's the only thing I've changed in
my supplements and every single co-worker came down with the flu' this
year so I was constantly exposed.
So far, I've managed to avoid it. ;-)
Regular hand washing helps too.
Cool. :-)
I should probably arrange a zoo trip with the nephews. Dys' is old
enough now to appreciate it. There is a good one in San Antonio.
Thread drift... ;-)
Nice thing about being a grand parent, you can spoil then and send them
home. LOVE IT !!!!!

You can, however, assume I'm arguing with EVERYONE!

you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and especially YOU!
Say your prayers, people. You're all wrong and I'm right! Burr, it's
also too and not to! Don't let that happen again.
That is all.
We now return to the previously scheduled foxhole already in
progress.

What has egghunt to do with religion ?
-p
They appreciate sacrifices, though. And giving money to priests can
be rewarding. But the theology of nethack is, um, eclectic.

You feel strong! You must have been exercising.
But it makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? ;-)

Andrzej Rosa 1127R
Many religions focus on egghunts as a form of sacrement.
Jehovum Witness
Church of Latter Day Egg Whites
Yolk of the Holy Trinity
Cath"oh, where did they hide the eggs?"licism
Judaiscrambledeggsism
Proteggstant
The list goes on.

It's a compliment nowadays.
Geeks get rich. Look at Bill Gates!
Depends on the religion. Easter happens to match up with the Spring
Equinox, often a fertility holiday for the pagans. Eggs are a symbol of
the miracle of life and the birth of spring.
Later comes May Day and spring planting rites.
Aka "Beltane".
Cute.
My favorites were the first and last ones.
