The Neverending Story
Free Republic | 3/24/01 | The NES Crew

Posted on 01/11/2005 6:18:33 PM PST by malakhi

The Neverending Story

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

After a nine month hiatus, The Neverending Story, the granddaddy of daily threads, has returned to Free Republic. Originally begun on March 24, 2001, as a religious discussion thread, the NES evolved over time into a daily thread spanning a wide variety of topics. The new and improved Neverending Story will feature conversation on religion, politics, culture, current events, business, sports, family, hobbies, general fellowship and more. We welcome you to hang your hat in our little corner of FR. We ask you to abide by the FR posting rules and, even in the midst of serious debate, to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Those who wish to "duke it out" are asked to take it over to the Smoky Backroom. I placed this thread in "General/Chat" for a reason, so play nice and have fun! :o)

Ping to some old FRiends.

Everyone, please feel free to hit your ping lists. My apologies if I'm leaving anybody off my original pings.

LOL!

I saw your last post on a different thread in "Latest Messages". I was going to tell you to check your pings, but I saw from that thread that you already had. ;o)

So how much snow did you end up getting on Christmas? Did you ever get your pictures posted?

About an 1 1/2. I have pictures but they are at Walmart. I left my camera at work and had to use a disposible one. How have you been doing?

How have you been doing?

Good! The sale of our old house will close (finally) on Friday. I have a moving truck coming over there on Thursday to move out the rest of my stuff, mostly boxes of books, bookshelves, exercise equipment, and boxes of business records. I'd much rather pay somebody to move it all than to rent a van and do it myself. Should only take around 2 hours or so. I went over last week to pack up my remaining books. I packed forty boxes! I can probably get rid of about 25% of them, though. But I'll worry about that later.

I kinda slacked off a bit in November and December, but I'm on track now to get my orange belt in about three weeks. Fall was very busy, but I'm back going 3-4 times per week. They have a "family" class where parents and children can both go. I do that twice a week with Gavin, and then make 1-2 adult classes per week. I have a little catching up to do to pull even with the people who started the same time I did. But I should be able to do it within a few months.

Can you call a thread with nine posts "neverending"???


Somewhat presumptuous.

40 boxes! Wow. I thought I had a lot of books. That's good about your orange belt. I wish I had someone around here to go with. Nobody interested though. Still working on my green.

Probably not. Spamming threads to claim a particular post number was apparently ruled a "no-no".

Yes, is that not amazing!
DO you remember the Old Movie The Blob with Steve Mc Queen, well the boulder looks like the Blob when it ate the town

How do the belt ranks go in aikido? We go "white-yellow-orange-green-blue-red-brown-black". They also started giving out "half belts" in the intermediate belts; you can move, for example, to a "high orange" if you are halfway between orange and green.

Well that answers my question. When we driving in the mountains in Calif, I wondered what kept those big boulders from falling down.

Just happened to be on. Actually on my way to bed, but I'll probably participate over here a little more than TOS. Not enough political activity there.

Gotta bring in SOME theological debate though.

Everyone's doing well here... how are things for you?

Oh... excuse to post pics of the kids (I thought this wasn't supposed to hit until I was a grandpa?)
