John

[Newsman]

She apparently has more than one interest already..she has used the words 'they' and 'them' a lot in the past month!


John 

Maybe you should ask out Ethyl... as she is following in your footsteps so well... REG

[Babs]

"they" and "them" are singular, and just scenery. 

[MelodyB]

Eye candy...

[Babs]

Eye candy...

[SippinTea]

Getting cold feet, eh?

I always have cold feet in winter. This is Oregon, after all.




Sir Grumpye, how would you define 'eye candy'?

[Newsman]

   Well, since the only place yiou'll see it having been used on Godplace is by others than myself, perhaps you should ask them..however, were I to use the term, my working definition would be "the attractive physical form of a member of the opposite sex, to be visually admired without the desire/prosepct of a relationship developing."


John 

[MelodyB]

Precisely.

[Babs]

Precisely.

Other than your own pastor... what preacher/minister has had the most impact on your life?

[Newsman]

   The first thought that came to my mind when I read your question was a minister from a church about 75 miles to the east of the McAlester UPC. His name was Bro. Perry. We were not quite friends, but I got to know him visiting their church some when I was a new convert.
   If I recall correctly, he (a professional carpenter) came and helped when we did the major build-on to the church in McAlester, then several of us went down there when the church he pastored was building a new one. I fell out of touch with him for a couple of years at a time, but would occasionally see him at some church function, and he would always remember me, and typically ask me if I had "found a wife, yet," or something similar.
   He became ill, I believe with cancer. He came and preached a service at McAlester, and was fiery and and seemed full of energy..it seems like only a few weeks later, he was dead.
   I have never had a more stark example of holding  nothing back when teaching or preaching than what I remember seeing from Bro. Perry.

There is a Bro Perry in Southeast Texas... wonder if there is any relation?

[Newsman]

   I'm not sure..the Bro. Perry I knew, IIRC, had 'Don' as his first name..he would have only been about 60, maybe a bit less, when he died. He pastored the UPC in Poteau Oklahoma, and was either an independent Apostolic or from naother orgnaization until about 1990.


John   

[sunlight]

ohh.. prolly not then... ok.

[SippinTea]

What would you think of someone who read the book Strawberry Acres while eating cherries?

[Newsman]

That they were beryy fruity.


John 

[MelodyB]

Do you like Strawberries and Peaches?

[Newsman]

   As in Ladies SippinTea and Rainbowjingles, most certianly! They are two Wonderful Ladies!

   As to the culinary attributes of the fruits involved, I do not care for strawberries at all, and like peaches moderately well.


John 

[SippinTea]

Aww... thank you! *curtsies*

And what about raspberries?

[Newsman]

   Someone had talked about mailing me some fruit, but they haven't arrived, yet.


John  

[sunlight]

* sunlight mails Newsman a persimmion...

[RainbowJingles]

I feel special.  At least I think I do.  lol  On a personal level, I'm liked.  On a superficial, fruity level, I'm liked "moderately well."   

*curtsies as well*

Melody:  you're goofy.  lol

[MelodyB]

Well, apparently he doesnt like me, Fruity or not... Maybe Raspberries are a little too....ummm bitter, yeah thats it! (I wont say another word....)


Elona: YOU are goofier.
