GT Participants: Who Are You?

[Uphill Battle]

So now I'm guessing you think the Bears should really be 4-6 now, right?

nope. But man, both teams looked UGLY.

how do you play that bad, and still win? Answer: Play a team that plays WORSE.

whutta snoozefest that one was!

Prophetic word.
Vikes balance of the season winning streak to begin this week vs the packers

hopefully i'm not found to be a false prophet.

There is two words in your post that I would agree with.

hopefully, (as in, hope is all you've got)
and false (as in, the Vikings and our castoff quarterback will win.)

A sweep WOULD be nice for us.

Hey guys I need some advice, can anyone help? We need a credit card for my hubbys business and we dont have credit cards so we dont know which one is the best without asking someone who might have a business credit card. Anyone have a reputable one (with flyer miles or perks etc) they can tell us to check out? Im a little nervous about getting one at all, I heard they do bad things to credit card holders and just figured to ask you guys of you have had one that worked well for you.

I dont know how to do this

Sorry, fire, I don't have any business credit cards. Maybe somebody will be able to help you out.

btw, yesterday, I was leaving my house to pick up my boys from school, and our neighbors 3 houses down were on their front lawn in the process of gutting and tearing apart an unidentifiable animal, which was pretty big (I'm guessing their hunting reward). Totally uncouth and G R O S S.

 

[Dorothea]

What's your favorite Christian theological subject? That's a tough one. I enjoy eschatology to an extent, when the people I'm in a discussion with take a turn for the 'weirder' elements of eschatology I either check out or rebut. I suppose you can say that I enjoy soteriology as well, as I enjoy discussing the implications of Christs resurrection and the future hope we have as followers of Jesus.

Parts of it are very pretty. Lancashire was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution and some of its towns reflect their less than picturesque past but it's also a county of beautiful countryside, villages and small towns, and all just a stone's throw from the beautiful English Lake District. Lancashire's inhabitants are very proud of their roots!

My Grandad served in the Royal Army Service Corps, it's personnel were considered to be combatant and often were. He survived Dunkirk but was on a ship to Northern Africa in July 1941 which was torpedoed by a U-boat. There are some stories of incredible heroism associated with the incident, such as the Anglican padre who had himself lowered into the hold to be with the majority of men (including my Grandad) who were trapped rather than having a chance of rescue for himself. My Grandad left behind my Grandma and four children (one still on the way), including my Mum. I've grown up very aware of the loss of him and his memory is very real to me.

What's your favorite sports team (for all the sports fans on this thread lol)? Liverpool FC; I was an avid fan during the 70s and went to all the home games and many of the away games. Marriage, children and age meant I lost a lot of the interest but I'd still root for them.
