Argument???  There's nothing to argue about, because "If GOD said it, then I BELIEVE it, and that SETTLES it."  The End.

Since this seems to be a popular thread, I'll add some names I've come across.  For the male gender: Elvy, Delman, Lorval, Deamus, Durward, Edris, Nondus, Collis, Cuba, Ayres, Leral, Dorus, Bate, Loyal, Royal, Worth, Santford, Wiley, Denzel, Bennona, and Leveret.  For the girls: Zona, Ophelia, Dicey, Winter, Blossom, Isla, Ulas, Misha, Coral, Delena, Burletta, Carrietta, Vena, Zella, Ozella, and Elma,

I know this is getting off the subject a bit, but I would like to kindly say to Pam  that the Bible wasn't written just by mere men,  but by men that were inspired by God..... in other words God told them exactly what to write (2 Timothy 3: 16)

Yes, I know that I am old-fashioned, but I would rather be that, than an empty-headed bimbo with no scruples/decency and no morality.  In reading the Bible, in the New Testament, it plainly tells women to dress modestly, and no one can argue with God's authority.  So if it's attention these "bimbo's" want, they're going to get more than just attention.  Putting oneself on display to be oogled is just downright disgusting!!  And that is putting it mildly.

Today is Soap Box day and I am rather ticked, so I'm gonna vent, as I've got a few things to mention. 

Why is it, when a woman who is middle aged or older,  can very seldom find appropriate clothing in the discount stores, as the clothing they carry is mostly for the younger woman?  And if by some fat chance, an item of clothing is found, the price is higher for the larger sizes? 

Older women do not look dressed very nicely  in mini-skirts, tank tops, etc. as  all those "spare tires" are revealing......which leads to another gripe for me. 

Why are so many of the younger generation rude, obnoxious and disrespectful towards their elders?  These past couple of years, I have had a number of incidents with the younger generation that really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I was taught to be respectful and use some manners.

In observing the younger women, who go shopping with practically nothing on (their boobs are ready to pop out at any time from the extra-skimpy top or else when they bend over or stoop, you can see clear to China, as that micro-mini skirt leaves nothing to the imagination), giving the male gender the "come-on signal" then before you know it, they're screaming "RAPE!" and claim the guy is sexually harrassing her.  Don't these "bimbos" ever wonder WHY?

I, too, was going to pass on this one, but I just can't keep my mouth shut.  Cigarette smokers are costing this government millions/billions of dollars in taxpayers money.  Who do these folks think pays for all these MAJOR medical expenses?  I'm sure the insurance companies aren't paying all of it, and what about the folks that can't afford insurance, that have cancer, or other MAJOR health issues, so the bills are coming back home to roost to the American taxpayer, so in that case the American people should have a say in where their money is being spent (but they don't).  And here's a question, based on the same principle.  If people don't think the government should tell a private business what they should/shouldn't do regarding cigarette smoking, how are the handicapped laws any different?  Hasn't the government passed laws requiring handicapped facilites in businesses?

In a personal comment, private businesses are in business for making money.  What business is going to drive people away (that's costing them $$$$), by allowing smoking?  I believe there are more non-smokers now than smokers.  The bottom line is MONEY!!

Thanks for finding a date................but with our magnifying glass that looks like 1964.

The admission charge for some of the movies listed on the bill was 25 cents for children and 75 cents for adults.  I can remember when it was 15 cents for children and 35 cents for adults.  (Guess I'm telling my age )

I was told the Benson Museum would be open during the Memorial weekend, and I would like to urge everyone that plans on being in Howard that weekend, to stop in and take a tour.  You will be amazed on how much "stuff" you will be able to connect with. 

Here is just a sample of pictures we took recently.  The first one is a show bill telling of what movies were going to be on at the Plaza Theatre, but no date was given on the bill.  The cost to see the movies was sure cheap compared to today's rates!  The second picture is of Dr. DePew with the 1920 date given, and lastly is a picture of a War Ration Book.  There is so much more to see at the museum!!!!!

One of my deepest concerns regarding this, is the elderly victims falling prey to this.  Lots of elderly folks are so trusting and vulnerable.  Is there any way of protecting them from being robbed of their life's savings?
