Porter, I was sent an e-mail showing pictures of Muslims in London (I'm comming to the conclusion it wasn't very recently) demonstrating with many placards. Many of them read, "death to all who insult Islam,' or " Europe, take warning! 911 was just a warmup!" and "England will be the first Islamic European nation," and also, "Islam will dominate the world." The photos showed twenty placards with these and similar messages. There were a number of Berber warrior headresses. These people were'nt kidding.

It's funny, not ha-ha, but sad really, that if Christians behaved similarly, there would be a tremendous brouhaha in the press. But the Islamics are allowed to do whatever they choose.

I must have insulted or somehow offended someone in the Conservative forums. My username and password don't work and I'm unable to get any effective help. Oh well, I'll just have to stick around here and annoy you folks.;)

Thank you, Tony Blair. :doh:
I asked about that yesterday, but it must have been much less of a deal than the media is making of it, because he knew nothing about it. There is no telling how old those pictures were, though.

Given the recent terror attempts in London and Glasgow, I can't believe that any such language would go over well in the UK, but in some ways, the more the outspoken radicals push their agenda, the sooner they'll be asked to leave. It's not real smart on their part seeing as how the Muslim population is less than 3% of the total.

I'm telling you, the Brits are only going to be so PC and with Grumpy Gordon in the PM seat now, the atmosphere is not as cordial for those who would undo the Christian west. Don't forget that we have a few military installations in England........so......we do have the back of the Brits and the radicals of Islam are kidding themselves. ;)

I went to church last night at my former church, the one my parents still go to. They tried a contemorary service for about 4 or 5 saturday nights. This is a church I didn't think they would even try a contemorary service. The pastor that was the pastor there for 35 yrs and is now retired was there last night and I went up and talked to him. He asked me who was preaching at the church I'm a member of now. I'm thinking like uh oh. I told him I didn't know, today is the fourth sunday I hadn't been at this church. Then the pastor that is the pastor there now came up to me right before the service started. He goes I need to talk to you. I said Uh Oh. LOL He said you been here 3 times now so we consider you a member now. My mom told him I'm not sure where I want to go, told him I went to this one church in the same county in another city not far from this one last sunday. He told me if I wanted to come there regular just let him know. After the service the old pastor came up to me and my mom and said that they need to have a talk with me about me not going to my church, I said I've been going to church, here, there and everywhere.


I sure wish it would rain....

GRUMPY GORDON????? LOL!!:D :D
Oh my, that is rich Porter. I rather hope you're right. It would be a crying shame to see the country of Shakespere, Shelly, and Lewis, to go down to the unwashed and unsaved.

It rained all night last. Judging by what collected in the tarp covering the back of my truck, we might have gotten 1/8th of an inch. Things look like we might get an early winter here. Elsewise we'll get an Indian Summer and that would be murder. 100+ degree temps all the way past Christmas? Ugh!:sick:

A family moved out recently and left four shield-back chairs in their yard. Three of them are pretty badly broken up. I'm hoping to make at least one good chair out of the three and possibly two. Sadly, one of the two pierce-backs to these broken chairs may be unrepairable. I'll have to see when I get to it. I really hate it when someone gets fine furniture like this and destroys it. It's sickening, and makes me kinda angry.:( :sigh:

Well, it has been raining and storming pretty much all the time since Friday evening. The rumbles are really wearing me down today. We have little ponds out back now (not suppose to). I would like to see some sun. I would love to send this off to anyone who needs it.

Please Please somebody take our rain! We have had 12" since the first of August - everybody's basements are wet (thank God for sump pumps - really!). North of here about 50 miles where my brother lives they had somewhere between 11 & 17" of rain just yesterday! Roads were flooded, mudslides, and somebody drowned in a car that was stuck in the flood on the road right by their house. They can use some prayers there.

Where are you? Minnesota?

We in Northeast Indiana are getting the rain today. Flood warnings have been issued for our area. Where's Noah and his boat when you need him?:p

My biggest concern right now is Hurricane Dean. Texas is well prepared for it, but if it does indeed hit Mexico as projected, it will be devestating on many levels.
They simply don't have the warning systems and structures or transport to get everyone out of harms way. It could be very bad. :crossrc:
