The Simpsons have been on television many years now. I never understood nor do I still, how anyone could ever watch that program. When the program began years ago, there was "talk" of this and that, so I did watch three different programs. It is hard to tell that a program is really bad, or good, unless you watch it personally. I did, and there was no need to watch the 4th program, even all these years later The fact that this program (only talking of the Simpsons) is still running, might tell of the morality of the people, or lack thereof? Just a thought.

Laura here again lol. Someone else can tackle this one

STEPHEN: But what if you need to get in touch with family or someone else in an emergency? Or what if your car breaks down on a lonely highway, miles from anywhere? Or you witness a crime in progress and need to phone the police? Etc, etc, etc.... ****** OH YEA, LAURA HERE. MAZIE IS ME, LAURA. ANYWAY, PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN ALONG MANY YEARS WITH NO CELL. AND WILL GET IN TOUCH WITH FAMILY OR ANY OTHER ER SAME WAY AS AWAYS, AND CRIME IN PROGRESS, THERE ARE ALWAYS PHONES AROUND. AS FAR AS DRIVING ON LONELY ROADS, THAT I DO NOT DO AND AGAIN, THERE ARE ALWAYS PHONES AROUND. NOPE, I STILL HEAR NO CONVINCING REASON TO HAVE A CELL PHONE ATTACHED TO MY EAR LOL.

Beth and her hubby were separated over a year ago, when Natalie first became missing. I don't know when they had separated before that or how much time. Looks like the divorce just became final recently. Again, notwithstanding romance et al, these two can help each other in their tragedies. They have been through similar events, even though years apart (John's over 10 years now and Beth's little over one year). WHOOPS!!!!!! I just realized this went in as mazie. See Laura's comments prior, as that is me Mazie aka Laura

MARNIE, AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH LAURA AKA MAZIE

What happened? I can't even get in the chat room, under Laura or Mazie. Not sure what name I am here, can't get back as Laura on the boards lol. Been away all day and evening. When did this happen?

I agree. I gave up coming in here for that reason, posts were too long. Tonight I am just checking in, to see what is new. It is hard to keep on a subject when you can't find what the point is :c2:

Canal from Worthy Chat had posted this last night in the chat room. I am entering it here, for all who are interested. ONE DOLLAR BILL Take out a one dollar bill. The one dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it. It is actually material. We've all washed it without it falling apart. A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know. It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look. If you look on the front of the bill, you will see the United States Treasury Seal. On the top you will see the scales for a balanced budget. In the center you have a carpenter's square, a tool used for an even cut. Underneath is the Key to the United States Treasury. That's all pretty easy to figure out, but what is on the back of that dollar bill is something we should all know. If you turn the bill over, you will see two circles. Both circles, together, comprise the Great Seal of the United States. The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved. If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid. Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything. "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency. The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, "God has favored our undertaking." The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, "a new order has begun." At the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776. If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States. It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery, and is the centerpiece of most hero's monuments. Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States, and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean. The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons: First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it. Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England. Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own. At the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one nation. In the Eagle's beak you will read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning, "one nation from many people". Above the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one. Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows. They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor. But think about this: 13 original colonies, 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes on our flag, 13 steps on the Pyramid, 13 letters in the Latin above, 13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum", 13 stars above the Eagle, 13 bars on that shield, 13 leaves on the olive branch, 13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13 arrows.. And, for minorities: the 13th Amendment. I always ask people, "Why don't you know this?" Your children don't know this, and their history teachers don't know this. Too many veterans have given up too much to ever let the meaning fade. Many veterans remember coming home to an America that didn't care. Too many veterans never came home at all. Share this page with someone, so they can learn what is on the back of the UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL, and what it stands for. Otherwise, they will probably never know...

I was raised on KJV and that is what I know. I have "looked" at a couple other versions, and always go back.

NA ! I am sweet though

WISDOM! This was a wonderful post, and example of what we should be, and doing! Thank you. I need to send this to some friends! Have a great day!

Give credit to who it belongs to Many times, folks do things that no one knows about, and those are special blessings to them. Those are the best kind, folks smilies, and God working in their lives. It is sad though sometimes, someone might say what about ME? I did that, etc. Let God have the glory, but in our humaness, it is hard at times I have seen folks in the past, when acknowledged from someone about what they have done, to tense up like.. oh oh .. that is my reward! Things done in secret, are rewarded openly by God. Have a great Day!

English. I can just not make out one letter topics

I don't know if it is true or not! I have seen this before, the past couple years on e-mails, stories, that sort of thing.

Wisdom - I guess I lost the entire meaning of the question on the post but yes, I am content. Why not. I have salvation! I have the Joy of the Lord! And yes, that Joy brings contentment. Anything else we get in life, is a blessing of the Lord!
