Look! An honest semi-precious! Now you know, you're meant to come back.

And Nemesis did suck, it was worse than Insurrection.

I hope you're not calling that right-hand picture in the second row lembas.

Hmmm... I was gonna bring a sicty-page story snippet I've written. Think I should pass on that?

the friend I am going to visit is not Christian, and just keep it in your prayers, if you would, that I might be used as a witness to her.

I know your post wasn't directed to me, but I wish to offer up my prayers as well.

I liked Insurrection. But my favorite TNG movie is still First Contact.

Heh....I suppose you could ask her politely if she would like to read it. :)

The "nanner" pudding was made especially for Corin. I made sure to add plenty of nilla wafers (lembas) to it as well!

There's plenty for everyone though!

The only TNG movie I've ever seen is the one where Kirk buys it.

Sigh. OK, here's my last words on the subject, addressed to no one in particular.

I have said I don't like spamming. I'm not talking really about the posting four or five posts right at the 0 mark...I'm talking about people who will start from ten or fifteen posts out and seem to do it partly because "no one can tell me what to do". If that applies to you...well, know that it bothers some of us. Not just me. I can live with it, it isn't enough to make me want to leave, but it's mildly annoying. OK? But the less serious spam is kinda fun.

My thoughts on bringing stuff back here...for the most part, no one has argued religion here, I know (and freely admit). I've had a few people make remarks about my faith (and you know who you are), but for the most part in fun and to my face. However, when people start discussing it, it makes me nervous because I don't want it to TURN into arguments. There are few things that can tear people apart like religous disagreements. Other subjects are much less a part of who we are, and I don't think they can be compared to religion. So maybe I'm overly "sensitive" about the subject, to use my own word.

2J's post had some history behind it, I think. For myself, I feel like I inadvertantly got on Carton's bad side long ago, I'm not even sure how. Maybe because I stated I didn't like Gone With the Wind and an actor she likes. I didn't mean to come across as snippy, but apparently I did. Ever since, I'm half afraid to disagree with her. I'm probably reading more into things than she really feels. If I DID offend her somehow (as I feel I did, but as I said, I'm not sure how), I'd like to extend a public apology. We all have different opinions and likes. I for one enjoy hearing the differences and don't expect to convert everyone else to my own opinions. Life would be awfully boring if we all thought the same.

OK, I'm done.

is that lembas around that banana pudding?

I agree. Nemesis was not very good. The opening action scene (the chase) looked like something I could have filmed with my kids in the back yard. Really cheesy, cheap graphics.

There are two forms of lembas in the menu today! LOL!

Let's all have some lunch...

Thanks, Ruthy. Corn especially looks good.

No, I would appreciate prayer from anyone. It's really hard to witness to friends because it matters so much. But my best friend became a Christian over a year ago, so I do know God answers prayers...

I am incredibly excited, though, I have known this friend for almost four years and we're finally going to meet.

Insurrection was tolerable mostly because it didn't violate the ~sacred texts~ (my pet paperbacks :P). But it wasn't more than a made-for-tv movie.

Another nice post. Samwise is lucky to have you!

*sigh* I'll never steal him away now.

I saw the article on 'hard tack' yesterday and thought of 'lembas'.

hehehehe...

lembas is everywhere! < cue spooky music >

I know how that feels! Almost giddy!
