The game is just what it says: list words that end in -ion. ablution

This past weekend I heard many remembrances of Tim Russert, the NBC newsman. Many of his colleagues spoke of their impressions of him. They talked about his work, his work ethic, his professionalism, his thoroughness of research. But no one - - not one person - - mentioned anything of the...

We all encounter things that cause us grief, make us angry, frustrated, upset, and/or disappointed. While we do take our problems to Jesus and pray for resolution to the problems, and we all have family and friends that will listen to us, it is necessary to let it out elsewhere. This thread...

The other day I was talking with my mother and she asked about a gal I had gone out with a few times just a little while ago. After I told her we'd stopped going out, and was greeted with the Mom Blank Stare look, I said "one of a thousand regrets, Mother, one of a thousand regrets." Later I...

I just tried to change my post font again and, again, the change did not take. It only seems to happen with Franklin Gothic Medium, as I've changed it to Garamond before without problems. Before I'm asked, yes, I did click "confirm." I changed the font size the other day without trouble, so...

I've been struggling lately with how often I swear. Someone I'm working with right now asked me if I'm from New York because of my, er, salty choice of language yesterday (her's wasn't as salty, but she did use some really colorful language herself). Never mind that I need to find work I enjoy...

Lately I've been trying to figure out whether what I'm "hearing" and/or feeling is just my own personal internal voice or if it's the quiet voice of God. D had in her daily devotion something about listening for the voice of God, of setting aside time to hear Him speak to us, to our hearts...

I've noticed a lot of folks around here have mentioned their pets, being in heaven with our beloved pets, and have even cited some works talking about what they mean to us. Post here, if you like, your thoughts on your animals. It can be a funny story about them, a touching moment you...

This is a spin-off to Jenster's thread about questions. How well do you deal with silence? Are you comfortable with it? Does it depend on the situation? How comfortable are you with silence on dates or does it depend on the person you're with?

Things have gotten pretty serious around here lately, and I think we could all use a laugh. So I think some pics are in order.

I've seen this game in a couple other places, and thought we might have some fun with it here. It's pretty simple . . . just answer a question with a question. :D Anybody have any questions?

When I was trying to figure out recently what I wanted to do when I grow up, I took a series of psychological tests. These tests are intended to tell you your "personality type," like in Myers-Briggs or other similar type indicator test. One question came up on virtually every legitimate test I...

Quite some time ago, I posted a thread down below where I asked about living a meaningful life. I'll try it again up here, hopefully without references to pop culture. What does a meaningful life mean to you? Do you feel you're living a life that matters? In what ways do you think you could...

Hi JuliaBond, thank you very much for the blessings! I hope you and yours are heartily blessed this season!

Do any of you eat foods that others might find odd? Or put things on your food that others might find strange, odd or - - even worse - - disgusting? Maybe it's a family tradition, maybe it's something you stumbled onto by accident. For me, it's vinegar. I put oil and vinegar on salads, but...

In today's Dear Abby, a dentist told the story of a little boy brought in for an emergency procedure. The dentist treats so-called "bad" patients, those who cry, kick, scream, bite, hide, and like that. This child apparently fit that description too. They treated him, gave him a toy, and sent...

My apologies if this was posted before, but I just ran across it while looking for some papers and thought you all might enjoy it. It's kind of long. I do not know who created it originally, or I'd give due credit. Comprehensive Examination Fall Semester, 2007 HISTORY. Describe the history...

Okay, so here's the thing: I know I don't post here much, and I'm probably not a very good Catholic, but some strange doings are afoot in another forum and I hope you all can help out. We have one poster on the other forum who is repeatedly posting offensive things about the Church and its...

Many of us have had a number of changes in our lives that others may or may not be aware of: marriage, accidents, health issues, grandkids. Okay, that I didn't know about. Ahem. We have things happen every day, big and small, that affect our outlook, our temperment, our health; pretty much...
