The use of a dash in the word is a personal notation of respect for the most
high.  It is usually employed by some Jews, a lot of Messianic Jews and a
number of us who are essentially "Messianic Gentiles".  I am a Born from

hrist
-Annointed one- who was male in the Greek.  OOPS.  Yeshua Hamashiach is
ebrew
not Greek as I boo-bood above.
        The practice follows avoiding the taking of his name in vain.  But,
for me, it is a practice which I will use when He is in the fore of my heart
in thought and conscious.  It is also a great way to open up to others and
bring more glory to Him.  Another practice is to capitalize every word that
refers to >Him<.  Sorry for your loop.  I hope you can convert that to an
immelman.  :-)

JB> Obviously your humour isn't on the same level as mine..

assistant: Quite true... I have a keen sense of humor...
You, on the other hand, have nothing that even remotely resembles
that sense (let alone demonstrate possession of any of the other
senses I would expect from one who purports to have opposable
thumbs ... perhaps you should check your hands to make sure)...
If you have perceived of any laughter directed your way, you can
rest assured they were laughing AT you, not WITH you...
Let me explain in simple terms...
What I said was cute & clever -- high on the humor index... Your
response was to reach deep deep into the gutter and make a snide
(not funny) comment, rife with kinky sexual undertones -- it had
a high NEGATIVE index... no humor, nothing clever, and certainly
nothing mature. When one reaches low like that, they prove how
woefully inadequate their vocabulary is and how inept they are at
formulating & articulating anything but the simplest of thoughts
or ideas...
If & when you tire of that gutter and truly desire to grow beyond
those limitations, let us know -- we would be more than happy to
help you make the transition. It won't be easy (especially with
your current track record), but it will be worth it -- especially
if you want to be taken seriously in your discussions...

They wrote:
WC> I can honestly say, IMHO, the Presidency has went to the
WC> dogs. What is it and why is the news covering naming of
WC> a dog that the White House has. Talk about ridiculous

Write your reply.

assistant: Personally, I think the dog is another classic example of dear,
ol' Klinton wetting his crooked finger and testing to see where
the wind is blowing...
I've seen a lot of hay made in the press about Klinton not owning
a dog -- you see, the dog has been the most common choice for
presidential pets. Just about every president this century has
owned a dog. Interestingly, the last prez to NOT own a dog (and
notably owning a cat) was Jimmy Carter (I'm not pointing this out
to offend cat owners)...
If Klinton was TRULY a "dog person" (which I am), he would have
been owning dogs all along. I think he got the dog for image --
not for any great love for dogs or the breed he selected (or, as
I think, was deemed the best breed for the best possible image).
As a life-long dog-lover, I feel great compassion for this poor
dog -- I don't think he will ever know the security of knowing
his place in his pack because he'll be passed around for all the
photo-ops and ignored when it is not expedient or convenient...
For most of us who own pets -- dogs, cats, whatever -- we own our
pets because we care about them & derive pleasure & companionship
from our little furry friends. I have no tolerance for those who
take on a pet because it is "hip" or "cool" then abandon or ignore
the pet when the "coolness" has run out... sigh...
So, you can see why I view Klinton getting a dog as just another of
his shallow, insubstantial deeds that prove what an idiotic excuse
for a mealy-mouthed cardboard cut-out he is...

projectile
barrier,
        Last time I used a sling, I don't know the velocity, but there was a
definite snap just before release and the projectile sang beautifully.  Tis a
good way to hurl a rotten egg as well. ;-)  The trick is in the final snap
before release.
        By way of an informed incident I guess, the SanDiego PD had a problem
with Viet Namese gangs using shotgun shells in some way so as to cause them
o
react almost like a grenade on impact.  I'm not too sure how they did it, but
fortunately, they confined it to gang conflicts.
        But, any wise Patriot will keep in mind the problems of unenforcible
laws when violence comes calling.  I've been miffed at our local yokels who
seem to be more report takers than peace officers.  After 3 burglaries and no
recovery or advice, I took simple steps to discourage them in the future.
Now, my insurance agent cautions me about `innocent' persons who just may
scale our block walls and stroll across the lot.  SO.  I made a definite
oise
that our dogs are really sweet little beasts who just get nervous when
strangers come round.  (G)  But, we can get cactus to grow pretty well around
here and some of it is pretty and functional as well.  And then, who is going
to really fight me on how I store some things in the yard?  Think I should
write a book or something.

Whether that is true or not, their oath of office makes it their sworn
duty to try.  If they don't, they make a mockery of the Constitution and
the idea that this ever was a nation ruled by law.
Personally, I'm fed up to the gills with all this namby-pamby nonsense
of excuses being trotted out attempting to justify Republican
congressional inaction.  They should do it because it is RIGHT!, for
cryin' out loud!  Furthermore, not attempting it makes criminal behavior
a proven acceptable approach for whoever occupies that office in the
future, and AFAIC, makes Congress an accomplice to every crime this
administration has committed and that future ones will feel free to
commit.
Sure, they might fail, but to not even try is unconscionable, and
absolutely guarantees failure - and I don't buy the notion it would make
Dufus any kind of martyr either, win or lose.
I repeat what I've said in other ways before - a committed and believing
minority can often move mountains no one ever thought possible, and the
Republicans aren't even a minority!  Didn't someone point out here that
the American revolution was brought about by a committed 17% of the
population?
