Here's the story. I like the fact that he brought along his dog. A lot of kids run from home, but this one was prepared and had a mission.

Considering I've only been watching about every other week, the whole thing seemed to come completely out of left field when I watched it. It was a pretty big "WTF?" moment. That sounds like what Calax was saying about being gone from the forum for a while.

Silence you fascist pig!

I would cite a reasonable sounding reason for his retirement, but it wouldn't be based on fact.

In my experience there's only one way this can end well. When he's sleeping you punch him in the groin. It's the only way, trust me. He'll understand you're the alpha male. He will have no choice but to submit. I have a similar story, minus the punching groin business. My brother recently was slapping my behind with great might. I tend to be very patient with him, and I kindly requested he cease. He persisted. So I went about my business as usual, and when he came around again for another attack, I slid an open capped pen to my side and angled it toward the area he had targeted earlier. Because I did not want him in pain, I did not protrude the pen as far as I could have, but he still got marked up fairly well with a small welt where the pen marked him, on account of the intensity of strength with which he tried slap me. Needless to say, I have not been repeatedly greeted on the bottom since then.

I would like to love everyone with what God has given me. I don't always agree with the decisions people make, personal, social, economical. In fact, there are things I believe people do that are outright sinful. Yet, Christ loved me when I was outright sinful, and my life has been changed by that love. So I want to show that love to others. If I will disagree with another person, I will express that disagreement through a lovingkindess inspired by God, for I believe people can see more about who God is, i.e. good and holy, through loving and caring about others, e.g. assisting them with their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. If God is the ultimate definition of good and moral uprightness, then showing that person my love and care will help them to see the ultimate good and moral uprightness. My own opinions be damned. God is my authority and I hope to make Him look good.

Well, if your main food source was alcoholic, you'd have trouble surviving in the wild too.

I enjoyed the story, Calax. Congratulations : )

I hate when that happens. But take heart in the fact that because you organized your ideas, you'll talk to someone in the future and use a few lines out of it. Not all is lost.

Amen. I still finished it though. On that note, I got "Cleric."

Their commercials are funny. I occasionally use them to catch up on something, but watching on my pc monitor is not the same as watching it on the huge TV in HD. I'm visually spoiled now, and it's hard to sit still for less. We don't have a DVR at the moment, and I miss it. Plus my computer isn't set up with a comfy lounge chair, so it's not very appealing to watch TV on it. heh I think one of the issues I'm having with the show is that I thought originally it was supposed to be about rich people getting fantasy dates or social thingies, and it seems to be moving in the direction of it being rich people using the service for dangerous criminal missions. Which is it? The boss constantly mentioning the danger-risk percentage of a mission but allowing it anyway is akin to Kirk always mentioning (and then ignoring) the Prime Directive. Astute observation. Contact me on the com unit if anything else shows up. I'll be in my quarters. You have the bridge, number one.

Hulu, my dear. Hulu. The show has not particularly grabbed me either, yet, whereas Firefly had me hooked after an episode. I am sorry I continue to compare the two, but one would expect a writer/director to improve upon previous work, even if it's not in the same genre.

I don't see how what you guys have talked about so far has anything to do with transmissions.

How do I make my eyes unsee~! works. Make sure you keep your eye in the center of the swirly though.

Though I'm sorry you have all been scarred, I am glad I read of your suffering before making an informed decision not to click on the link.

Clearly some "supporters of Jesus" are not truly supporting Jesus. I call those people delusional. Forgiveness was the message of Christ. Jesus ate and drank with sinners and tax collectors, trying to communicate the truth to them through love. If a nation does not want to follow what scripture says about homosexuality, I say that a true Christian continues to eat and drink with those "sinners", trying to show them the truth through love, not through murder and terrorism. How blind some people are about such a "popular" religion! Christ rebuked those who claimed to be followers but did not actually follow. I would likewise rebuke these so-called "Christians" if I could. If someone sins, it is not my place to punish and judge them. That is God's place. If a nation decides to support what scripture says is sinful, I will try to love that nation even more, not harm it further. The apostle Paul shares about who Christians are in charge of to judge in 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, "What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. 'Expel the wicked man from among you.'" If I am going to rebuke, it will be my fellow Christians, who are subscribing to God's commands, and I will not rebuke people who do not subscribe to God's commands or even believe in Him. Some "Christians" just use Christianity as an excuse to force their will upon others. That is not God's will, however, as His will is love and redemption, patience and joy beyond circumstances in Christ.

I watched the second episode. This one had more depth than the pilot, but everything lacks the "I want to be a crewmember on that spaceship" feeling that Firefly gave me.

That food sounded great. Good work, Walsy, good work.

We'll miss you. Farewell and good luck.
