Wanna say something?

Happy Sabbath everyone! It's been a rather eventful one for me!

Last night at 3:30 we had a water pipe burst in the ceiling... It took 2 hours to get it cleaned up...

Ok, a friend of mine e-mailed me this, and I just wanted to share it with everyone here. It's not meant to be offensive. Just something cute and funny... (and maybe partly true...)

This May Bring Back Memories For Old-Time Adventists

You Know You Are/Were SDA If:You pronounce "Adventist" as "AD-ventist", not "ad-VEN-tist". Your "Little Friend" wasn't a person.
Your bedtime stories were about real people instead of fairy tales.
You had an Uncle Arthur, Uncle Dan, and Aunt Sue and were amazed to find out that all your friends in Sabbath School did too.
You think of kids instead of cars when you hear the term Pathfinder.
You can rememberwhat the letters "MV" and JMV" stand for.
You have a board somewhere in your attic with a bunch of knots glued to it.
You wondered if the earth would last long enough to have a girlfriend/boyfriend.
Parenthood held many nasty surprises because you really believed Uncle Arthur when he said, "and he never disobeyed again."
You know HMS as a name, not a ship.
You know how to play poker with Bible Authors cards and Wheat Thins.
You know how to play Rook but not Bridge or Hearts.
You have looked for angels outside of a movie theater.
On Saturdays you catch yourself telling your children, "You can wade, but don't swim."
The word "Philistine" has a meaning in current terminology.
Your tie falls in your soup because you don't wear a tie tack.
The Review is not a full military dress inspection.
You agreed to sing so you wouldn't have to solicit.
Saturday Night Live had meaning before the TV program.
You read labels on cans years before nutritional labeling was available.
You saved labels off of cans years before recycling became fashionable.
You have asked for a Veggie-Whopper at Burger King.
You take more time at the Taco Bell counter than the last six customers.
You take a helping of Nuteena because you like it, not out of courtesy.
You can tell the difference between Linkettes and Vegelinks with your eyes closed.
You know 101 ways to prepare FriChik.
You have more than twelve uses for soybeans.
You can stack 3000 calories on a plate at a church potluck.
Your guilt trip ended the day Nabisco started using vegetable shortening in Oreos.
You May Have Gone To A SDA Boarding School If:You know all the basic square dance steps but only know how to execute them to march music. Your high school principal was an expert on female hemlines.
You rolled down your skirt on the way to the principal's office.
Your Friday night date was to Vespers.
You went to banquets instead of dances or proms.
You were called out of class to clean your room.
You can grill cheese sandwiches on the bottom of an iron.
You learned how to study in the dark after lights out.
You've seen "Sound of Music" with a hand in front of the projector during the kissing scenes.
You have been to movies during which the lights came on periodically for a hand check.
You knew who was engaged by asking the time.
You couldn't dance at school parties, but passing an orange under the neck was a non-sensual activity.
The only time you could hold hands was while roller-skating in the gym.
The other side of campus was no-man/woman's land.
You know what MCC stands for.
You took cinnamon rolls back to the dorm on Friday afternoon.
You have referred to high school as academy.
You know that haystacks have nothing to do with hay.
you know how to succesfully set up an entire gym with folding chairs and tables.

OK, I grew up Adventist but didn't go to academy. I understand all of these except for one. What does MCC stand for?

 

[Eve4000]

if I knew, I would tell you.

What Praise & Worship songs do you guys prefer? I wanna think of stuff for Youth Week of Prayer.

 

[Cliff2]

I will be away for about a week.

Will catch up when I get back if I do not have the use of a computer while away.

I am going to be away a bit longer than I thought and have only a short time at the local Library to be here.

Will catch up with you all when I get back home, maybe if time allows I can get back here tomorrow.

Blessings to all.

Cliff

[jelvenko]

Here's some of the songs we would sing at Academy for Firday night vespers and Sabbath school:

These Thousand Hills
Lord I Lift Your Name on High
Heart of Worship
I Can Only Imagine
In The Secret
Faith On Fire
You Are Holy...

THere's several more, but I can't think of them right off the top of my head at the moment...

 

[Eve4000]

thanks for the suggestions. Anything else?

 

[Eve4000]

*bump*

Where I come from "MCC" stand for Melbourne Cricket Club.

But it probably means a bit different to where you come from.

Now if you were from London it would mean Marylebone Cricket Club, which is the home of cricket in England and some would think the world.

 

[Eve4000]

*bump*

 

[Cliff2]

*bump*

Don't just "bump".

There has to be a reason to "bump"

Young people must have soemthing to say as well as us older ones.

 

[Eve4000]

but I ranted already about what I wanted to say, and there is nothing on my mind as of the moment.

 

[jelvenko]

Ok I want to be just completely random here... I'm going to tell a joke...

How do you catch a unique rabbit? You 'Neek up on it!

How do you catch a tame rabbit? The 'tame way! YOU 'NEEK UP ON IT!

ok, so I know that was completely random, but sometimes its good to have a little randomosity in life.

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

[Eve4000]

This gives an up to date condition of what the weather is in South East Queensland.

You will see the town of Ipswich and to the lower right the town of Boonah and then to the left Warwick.

We are somewhere in between them as we are only a very small town we do not even get a mention.

I would say we would be very close to the line that passes left of Ipswich and then if you were to draw a line between Warwick and boonah about where they cross would be us.
We are 60 kms from Ipswich, Warwick and Beenleigh.

You would also notice on the map a line running through the towns of Coolangatta which is on the coast and the another town of Texas and Goondiwindi.

That line you see is the border. North of that line is Queensland and South of it is New South Wales.

At least you will now have some idea where I live.

 

[Cliff2]

I am sure that there will be one of these weather maps for everyone. So if you are comfortable in sharing where you live please do so and we can at least have an idea who lives where.
