Strictly Miscellaneous

I'm sure that there are more than enough people here to help you out Jaume,
the question is, are they willing? we both would help if we could, but as far
as our 'tech' knowledge is, it is very limited and we don't even know what
you are talking about... - we have had windows 7' for a very long
time and don't seem to have many problems with it...but then again, basically
all we do is post...we're 'non-nerds'...

I heard on the news that someone pick pocketed a midget...you have to wonder; how can one stoop so low

I heard some say in here that our earth is 'flat', and then I look-up and
saw those other things that He created, to me, they seem so round and
perfect and un-arguably beautiful...

Psa 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psa 118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

It is a day of glory.........by the way, in the Hbrew the word tranlated as prosperity, though correct, also means progress move ahead......nice!

A clown opened the door for me yesterday...it was a nice jester...

Nice jester...................

what my 7 year-old nephew's schedule is according to him, written on a piece of paper hanging on his bedroom wall: take health (?) outside play eat hide eat then sleep.

Sounds like the perfect day! Who doesn't love hiding?!

Was Judas saved and one of the deciples that was casting out demons?

I love CC and don't plan on leaving anytime soon but I was curious,why do members delete their accounts,does that mean that they are now Guest,does that mean they can come back under the same name?

It is certain the individual motives differe from one to another. I want to remain here because of the family in Christ that does come in, and also for the sake of seekers. I realize that last one sounds a bit egocentricla, but I believe our Father uses all of us in different ways.......these are our good workds, things He givs us to do.

It is like how Jesus comes to each one of us, only He knows what each one of us needs,, and this is why He really is so very personl, i the way of Love.....

You keep up your good works, and never doubt that you are being used as a vessel of goodness by our Father...All blessings in Jesus Christ

Will the earth be totally destroyed and created new or will the earth be remade to be like It was In the beginning?

As is quoted, in the twinkling of an eye. We do not want a world allied to corruption...the living is always best.....

The rep system IMO Is just eye candy now and have become perverted from Its Intended purpose.

I used to see post In the Bible Discussion Forum by those that are of the faith plus works for salvation believers conversing with those of us that are with the faith only for salvation believers and I noticed that the faith plus works for salvation believers were repping each others post, regardless of the post being profound are not.

After a while, I started getting the feeling that private messaging was being used to start cliques.

Now I'm seeing members that have been here only 6 months with 11 Icons.

Sincerely miscellaneous.

don't fret precious Seed, this here is the real world...

When I was a child about three, my Daddy, a truck driver, would bring home small bottles of Pompeii olive oil. It came in a bottle that had staggered segments like a tower. The oil was very light in color. Now, I am not certain why, but my Daddy would have me drink it. It could have been because I was born with rickets; it could have been because I had had rheumatic fever.

Whatever it was I never found out for certain why. I grew to love it. Coming to Spain the past 40 years and now living here, I always use olive oil, and I still love to have a tablespoon of it or so by itself.

My question, I direct to those who know olive oil. I have noticed the past ten years or so how olive oils have (seem to have) acquired a bit of chemical taste especially the darker olive oils, the more robust . Even the light virgin olive oils hae an off taste, at least to me.

Does anyone else experience this? I find the off-brands here are usually better than the name brands wich have been taken over by multi-nationals. Now I had a farm here and did produce my own olive oil, so I do have some experience with it beyond my childhood tonic.

By the way, when I was about six, perhaps seven, my Daddy would bring home goat's milk for me to drink too. It tasted lighter and sweeter than the condensed milk I had been accustomed to. I wonder if my Daddy was not experimenting with his Benjamin, lol. Anyway I liked it the, but I do not thing I would now. I do love feta chees though.


Thanks for putting up with this rave and rant. God bless you. PS..we were not living in farm country, no, Long Beach, Calif.

Hi jack,
Thanks for the share. That was really nostalgic, and remembering fresh milk being delivered to our doorstep too when we were small. Fresh dairy is a luxury here, and we were blessed to have had that, altho we were not rich=). Re goat's milk, if only there were more people who cared for goats or started such farming here... or if i could too!

As we have other oils around here, we do not consume olive oil that much. But there ws something i heard some (-- i think a long) time ago about expensive imported olive oils in the US and other countries that have started to be diluted w/ other oils esp. those from or exported by china? When these were prohibited from entering the Us, the merchants diverted the shipping so that it appeared the oils came from some south american countries (hope my memory is right), but from same sources. i cannot really tell abt the kind of magic the oils go thru.

Keep in mind, I live in Spain. For now I refer only to Mediterranean olive oils. They seem to have changed, and this is worrisome....Thank you much..j

hub's a 'researcher', and we have found that if the 'olive-oil' that you buy is from a
combination of different countries, DON'T BUY IT...also, when you open the seal,
it should always have an aromatic aroma, as opposed to NO smell...California now
makes their own, as well as other countries...also, the same goes for Sesame Oil',
a very great oil for many things in our bodies...

so much to learn, so little time...
