What's on your mind?

What translation, binding and study/normal text block do you prefer?

I like NIV, traditional binding, normal text, red letter. I need a medium sized bible that's thicker, lol. My current one is too skinny. A bible with a concordance and maps in the back would be awesome!!

I got a new bible today. It was unexpected. It's my preferred version but my bible is starting to get worn at the spine. Now i have a backup.

Good grief. This charger on my computer is literally hanging by a thread, and it's hot as a brazen bull. Computer is now switching to reserve power until new cable can be acquired, and that means minimal internet until further notice.

Is it a desktop computer or a laptop?

I had a lot of trouble with some of the power cables for laptops. At one point when the power supply would get hot it would just make my computer shut down from the heat.

Yup. One of few bad things I found about leaving shift work and going to a normal day schedule ... Mondays start sucking.

I wanted to watch something tonight before bed. But I've had depressing nightmares lately so I didn't want to watch anything too negative. So i put in dr who... But apparently its a scary episode that im on.

Can I please just talk to you guys? I swear people just seem to ignore me on this thread
I feel like people on here are driving me crazy, and other people are becoming great friends. I keep getting depressed and anxious thanks to debates about stuff, and I don't like being told that apparently everything I ever knew was wrong. I don't know if I can trust people sometimes.

So when you feel like you need to quit this place for a while, how do you do it? I don't just want to leave cold turkey, like I said I have a few friends here, and I'm sure plenty of people could use my support.

No need to quit this place, just avoid debates. That's what I do. I find most debates annoying and time consuming.

was the episode one of the ones that had Matt Smith as the doctor?
it seems like most of his episodes run more like mini-horror movies

I like Doctor Who, some of the themes are a bit ham fisted, but over all it is a good show

have you seen Daredevil?
it is an interesting tv show

oh and so sorry to hear about your nightmares

it is not uncommon for people who suffer from bad dreams to ask for the intersession of the Archangel St. Raphael (the angel in my sig)
this is probably due to his role in driving off evil spirits in the Book of Tobit

I will never understand the appeal of Dr. Who..

you can make a thread that says you are taking a break
I would avoid any talk of "never coming back" because then if you do change your mind people might call you out on the boisterous talk you had before

I used to argue in General Theology a lot, so I am used to people saying I am wrong about everything all the time

sorry you are having a rough time
you always seemed like a really level headed guy and I am sorry you are having problems
if you EVER want to talk about ANYTHING and not want a big debate, just PM me, you can just vent or if you want to hear my honest opinion, I would be more then happy to share it in a way that does not belittle you or your beliefs

may the Lord bless you my dear brother in Christ
and may His peace always reign in your heart

oh, and maybe PM a few of your friends and tell them you will be taking a break?

I've just left a few times and come back a few months/years later.

Past Weekend: Camping, grilling, beer. My family's annual 4th of July camping trip

This weekend: Dresses, girly drinks, and brunch. My sister's bachelorette party.

It's a Tale of Two Weekends.

Well I'm stumped! It seems like, unless they're a study bible, that they're all thinline.

I even checked a particular line Cambridge do but they don't do it in the NIV.

I'll have another look later

I've actually been looking for a study Bible.

Patrick Bateman said:

Cool. I'll continue looking later

Wait, are you suggesting that you're going to get me a bible?

Ewww, I dislike camping. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being out in the wilderness *As long as its not in Texas cause of the heat* I just hate going without a shower.

I don't need TV, radio etc..... however.... I DO need to bathe. I may be a bull, but, Im a clean hygienic bull. Give me a nice place to shower and a toilet to do my business (Im not wiping with no darn pine cone.) and I could camp all the time.

Toro, are you a beef bull or a dairy bull? I may need your genetics at some point down the line...

It's all about prolific conception rates, and high quality sire selection.

There are campgrounds with showers.
