This is good news! I think I used Unity for about a week, and switched to Xfce via Xubuntu. I don't think I'll ever use anything else! I've used Gnome, before Unity, and also ran the "Ubuntu GNOME" disto, but I went back to Xubuntu.

If its an American unit, we don't fly any unnecessary sortie in weather with lightning. Its not a capability issue, its a safety issue.

That would have been awesome! But no, I had a bucket of little animals. I held them up and the kids yelled out what they were, then I literally tossed them through the door where one of my helpers caught them. The door has a fishing line drawstring and closes with magnets, so when I said that...

You do know there was a fire that destroyed those records in 1973 right? They weren't discarded, they were lost. Somewhere between 16-18 million records were lost. The 1973 Fire, National Personnel Records Center Anyway, I am certainly no hero. I did deploy to Afghanistan in support of...

Agreed. I do believe it was Jesus who said things like, "love your neighbor as yourself", "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you", and "do good to those who hate you". Their religion does indeed go against Christianity, but doesn't mean that we should hate them, that hate also...

I don't really understand your question. I have a 17" Dell running Xubuntu Linux, at work the laptop sits on a stand as my second monitor with a 26" (I think) Samsung monitor as my main display. I use the laptop screen for my Bible software(Xiphos)/reference material and my main display for...

1) When did you get married? 2002 2) How long have you been together? 16 years (1 yr dating/engaged) 3) How did you meet? At College. I was putting my shoes on after playing volleyball and she was standing near me. I was on my knee so I asked her jokingly to marry me, a year and 1 week later we...

Not much to add to this, except to agree! The military also has counselors (civilians) on staff at almost every base. We called the office they work in the "Airmen and Family Readiness Center" (AFRC) in the Air Force, not sure for the other branches. But if you're already seeing one and they're...

I really liked the S&W 9mm Shield. It was too small for my hand, and my wife's really, but was a great handgun. I'd buy it again, but I liked the S&W 9mm Compact, its just a bit bigger than the Shield.

You're very welcome! Ha, I was (an am again in the Reserve) an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force. We worked 12s almost nightly for the 3 years I was at Lakenheath, and hated nearly every minute of it. If we got out before 12, we called it a cutback. I retrained to intelligence and enjoyed...

I wouldn't mistake similar tattoos for solidarity. There is a lot of gossip, backbiting, one-uping, etc. in the military spouse world. That's not to say there are no good aspects of the military spouse life, but my wife avoided working with other spouses in the various units I served in for...

I don't that I can offer you any advice really, but I was active duty for 8 years (Reservist now) and truly hated my career field. It was a dark time for me, spiritually. We were stationed overseas and the church was very small there, we didn't get to meet outside of worship very much at all so...

@FaithfulPilgrim, on a total tangent from this topic, I saw on your profile you're from South Carolina. Where about? I was born and raised in/near Charleston. I've been all over since then, but settled in Texas.

I'm not knowledgeable about Lutheran beliefs, I can't help on this one. My first thought is that soul would be lost, however and thankfully, I'm not the judge! My fervent prayer would be for Jesus to plead that soul's case to the Father knowing that person's intent to obey and that His grace...

Paul made his mission to reason with those he was trying to reach. If we cut ourselves off from anyone else but those of like faith, who will we spread our message to? Not trying to preach at you, but just where my thinking comes from.

We had a good Bible study tonight. I only had 4 kids in class, I sure wish all the others would come too! I almost always text them in the afternoon and encourage them to come, I think the biggest hurdle is their parents don't come so its very hard to get them to see the importance if they don't...

I think its safe to say that we just don't call them sacraments. You're right, both acts are extremely important, sacred even, we just don't use the term sacrament to describe them. To be honest, the word has a very Catholic connotation in my mind (no offense). No worries! You haven't been...

I understand, thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks for your thoughts! Like Thedictator (not sure that name fits, seems like a pretty nice person) said, Jesus does the saving after we obey the gospel plan of salvation. Titus 3:4-5, v5 in particular, Paul wrote to Titus that Jesus saves us by his mercy. Peter told the Jews in Acts 2:38 that...

Wow, I'm sure glad to see such maturity here. Remember you came here to hurl an accusation, if you're bored of an argument you weren't invited to, just leave it well alone. No need to be rude.
