I too avoid the religion thread for the exact same reason...and in some respects, I only lurk on the Catholic threads (well, I have been known to drop a line or two occaisionally) because one enthusiastic Catholic verbally attacked me for being rebellious and anti-God for not remaining in the RCC.
And I decided that if I tried to live my life half the way some of those people claim is the correct way, I'd be in the nut house.
So when do the libs start accusing Pres. Bush of causing this in order to get more votes at the election?
I have managed to avoid the Religion Forum so far, so I'm avoiding the temptation to ask what that was about :) I made a decision before I joined FR not to let myself get drawn into that type of discussion because in my experience it's huge drain on energy and all it usually succeeds in doing is getting people angry. When I read something that pisses me off, I just remind myself, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me."
I sat thru a three hour meeting today. After the first two hours of listening to them talk about the "P Index" I said we have GOT to take a break.
(I'm prolly not working Thursday, depends on how long I'm in line Wednesday night)
you've got mail
They already have. There are threads around here posting comments from DU. I may be stupid enough to visit the FR Crusades, but there are some places I just won't go.
I suppose it's too late to get Flat Frodo out to you?
He'd never make it back in time for the wedding.
I've been over there.... It's like a car wreck.
Frodo is done with adventures, save one.
Actually, I take that back... He'll be at the wedding certainly, and somebody ought to prop him up at ~my~ funeral, if you can!
Glad to hear the good news on Perk! :)
pinged ya to another thread. all the loonies are comin' out today...
posted to someone else.... You can malign Gilbert... But don't insult my Laura!
I knew you'd like the thread. ;-)
which thread?
Yahoo! Thanks for the update.
My plant:
Spotted Wintergreen
The Spotted Wintergreen is a perennial evergreen herb or shrub with a very attractive variegated leaf veination. The stems emerge from creeping rhizomes and reach a height of 10 to 25 cm. The leaves measure 2 to 7 cm in length, and 6 to 24 mm in width. The petals of the fragrant flowers are white or pinkish and nearly round. The capsules measure 6 to 8 mm in diameter.
Looks close! Are the flowers fragrant? Does it come from a rhizome?
You might try taking a leaf and flower sample to your county agriculture extension folks and see if they can identify it.
