    Hi from Ireland!

    My great-great grandfather left Ireland just a couple of years ahead of the famine.... he was 14 years old, and they left out of Galway. I think that most of the clan were from counties Carlow and Wexford, on the southeast coastal area. I don't know how he ended up in Galway.... perhaps...

    I was approved for food stamps, but they only gave me $41.00

    Off to the corner you go! :LOL:

    I was approved for food stamps, but they only gave me $41.00

    The 80hrs per week is why I called it click-bait.... I did not watch the video, or I would have noticed you mis-quoted it. As @Magenta corrected, 80hrs a month sounds more like what the government would require...

    Soon it will be Christmas Day!

    Simple goober search.... Christmas was first officially celebrated on December 25, 336 CE, in Rome. The date was chosen to coincide with pagan winter festivals, such as the Saturnalia and the Sol Invictus celebration, potentially as a way to co-opt and Christianize these popular holidays. Some...

    I was approved for food stamps, but they only gave me $41.00

    That's another one of the click-bait UTube videos.... NOBODY is required to work 80 hrs a week. I would be happy to see a requirement to work 30 hours a week to collect.... that's about what people work that are working minimum wage jobs, so that they do not become eligible for benefits. I...

    I was approved for food stamps, but they only gave me $41.00

    my goodness....I was not talking about you at all.... like I said, that is what SNAP is FOR.... people that have no other options... I'm 100% ok with that... our oldest daughter, single mom of our teenage grandgirl lost her job a while back, and couldn't find a comparable job for about 9...

    I was approved for food stamps, but they only gave me $41.00

    What makes you think that all of us eat a lot of beef? And, if "nobody" has any beef because of drought, how would SNAP have it? I'm not denigrating SNAP, but there are other resources, as mentioned in other posts. I am all for "the government" being able to help people that truly NEED...

    "all I want for Christmas is a colonoscopy...."

    I was approved for food stamps, but they only gave me $41.00

    If you could figure out a way to have about 8 kids quickly, you would get more in foodstamps. But you have to "identify" as a grossly overweight single mother.

    No Epstein Files?

    I'm assuming, due to the lack of celebratory screeching, that nothing has been found that implicates the president.... at least the current president... ;) This reminds me of the Y2K panic.... weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth, up to 12:01 on Jan 1.... then a collective yawn.

    Can a Christian

    Who are "they" that say that? I've not seen scripture that says that. I've seen a proverb that says an evil companion can corrupt good morals, but Jesus taught us love and acceptance. Scripture says to not be unequally yoked (tied) to an unbeliever, but that means don't willingly enter...

    I rely on understanding, and now, i no longer understand

    welcome to the forum... first, a suggestion.... break up your post into paragraphs... it's difficult to read when it's just a wall of text like that... Now.... faith is not something that you simply "get" when you are joined to Christ. It is something that grows and gets stronger over...

    Question about electricity...

    Yes, I believe they do. Do you wear fuzzy slippers or socks? Those will generate static, much like rubbing a balloon on your head will generate it. If you wear synthetic clothing, it can generate more static than natural fibers.... but I believe that some people do tend toward static build...

    No Epstein Files?

    and you know this....how? Were you privy to information that most normal people are not? You gotta stay off of those UTube videos...

    No Epstein Files?

    You willfully "overlook" the fact that he is the one that TOLD Congress to release the files. Doesn't sound like a cover up from a guilty party to me... Perhaps I simply use too much common sense.... I need a little of that TDS stuff you are ingesting....

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Could be both, though... just sayin.

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Not really an "assumption".... it's pretty much exactly what you said.... Unless you'd like to back up and clarify your declarative statement a bit..... ?

    The Gun Thread

    Good grief.... unless it was a piece of junk, it's easily worth maybe three times that amount... I used to have one in .243.... if it had been a .308 (or .284) I would still have it....
