I have a beagle and her white hair gets on my pants and coats and I can't get it out with washing or a lint roller and even the ones that are designed to get pet hair don't get it.
Is there another way?
Thanks!

i have curly hair that frizzes a lot. normally, i flat iron it, but i would like to leave it curly sometimes. what methods can i use to achive smooth curls without buying any product. i have some smoothing products, but they are designed to help straighten hair, not smooth curls.
Try using a diffuser to dry your hair. And spray some citre shine on your hair to keep it from frizzing so much.
I find that using a lightweight leave in conditioner and spritzing it with water and scrunching it, usually works for me when I want to leave my hair curly.
*Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now well defined and healthy. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life! But if this is completely uninteresting to you, disregard.
*To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel, a leave in, and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blow dryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a micro fiber hair turban/old t-shirts (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).
*The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygienic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sulfates). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.
*Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones (avoid these- ingredients will end in -xane, -conol, or -cone). Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.
*Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it will disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is evenly distributed everywhere in your hair. If you use too much you can always scrunch out the crunchy texture later.
*Use paper towels or an old t-shirt to gently scrunch some of the water out (generic towels can make hair frizz). You can either let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Dry until your hair is almost dry, and then air-dry the last bit. Do not touch the hair while it is air-drying or it will frizz!
*Use a cheap, silicone free conditioner to scrub your scalp such as Suave Naturals or Vo5. Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner (salon) or Nature's Gate\Desert Essences conditioners (health food stores) for your hair. I recommend using a gel (LA Looks, Herbal Essences, La Bella) over a leave in (L閳ユ┉real Out of Bed Instant Texturizer). Experiment with whatever products you wish, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.
*You may be able to get away with some silicones (such as amodimethicone) if you clarify with a sulfate free shampoo. Try Devacurl no-poo (salon) or Cream of Nature (drug store). Feel free to find your own but always check the ingredients for sodium/ammonium lauryl/laureth sulfate.
*Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working. Before you decide to quit shampoo, do a final cleanse with shampoo and stop the use of any products with silicones in them. This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least visit the websites. Naturally curly hair can be beautiful! I hope you consider this- email me if you have any questions!

Pet Rules...
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit %26amp; Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it 'fur'niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less.
2. Don't ask for money all the time.
3. Are easier to train.
4. Normally come when called.
5. Never ask to drive the car.
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends.
7. Don't smoke or drink.
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions.
9. Don't want to wear your clothes.
10. Don't need a 'gazillion' dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

****I wish I could star you twice!****
Yeah, I've got this up at the shelter where I work, and at home. I wonder who wrote it originally?
I have brown hair naturally. I want to go a couple shades darker. I tried a nice kit from Sally's Beauty Supply. It's "almost black" or "darkest brown" sort of color. Not that far from my natural color.
It came out in about a week. I was using special Shampoo and Conditioner too. A while later I went to my stylist and she dyed it the same color with their products and put it under heat to set in, ect. In about 1.5-2 weeks it was gone.
It was permanent.
I went back and this time she tried a different product and also added a glaze at the end to help it hold the color. Again I used shampoo and conditioner designed for color treated hair (different one than the last ones I used, just in case)
But again about 2 weeks it was gone. I'm so saddened. There's got to be something I can do to keep the color!
I know the tricks like use shampoo every other day or just 3 times a week and don't expose to heat. I do straighten my hair every now and then, but only once or twice a week.
I've heard that clean hair does not hold color very well. Maybe you can try not washing your hair for a couple of days before coloring next time.
Wow, it sounds like your hair is extremely porous. Which means the cuticle or outside of your hair is wide open. When you color your hair the color penetrates the cuticle and goes inside the hair shaft. A little after rinsing your cuticle closes and the color if permanent is trapped inside. Reds always fade but blacks and dark browns usually only fade a little. Did you have any chemical treatments such as perm, straightening, previous color to make your hair's cuticle porous? If so theres not much you can do till the damaged part grows out. If this is how your hair naturally then I'm shocked. Is the color that was used on your hair permanent? If so what volume of developer did you use? If you don't know, I would wait at least 2 weeks, go back to Sally's and buy a Permanent color of your choice, then make sure you use a 10 volume developer with it. Follow the directions carefully. Other than that you seem to be doing everything else right, washing every couple of days, light heat, avoid the sun, etc. Good luck.

DAEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT DERE WUZ A LIMIT ON WORDZ!!!

my hair is quite long, caucasian and in fairly good condtion, iv heard its good 2 do some conditioning before relaxing 2 prepare hair, im also having a cut 2morro 2 get rid of split ends prior to relaxing. i need advice on the product to use as i dont have a clue! people hav reccomended uring a product available in boots but its designed for african/asian hair so i am sceptical about its safety as im sure caucasian hair will react differently 2 it. i hav also heard that using a product for children is better 4 hair. also what is lye and no-lye? i dont want 2 do any damage to my hair, well i know that relaxing alters the hairs structure but i cant go on having curly hair, it really gets me down and i no longer feel comfortable going out as its so unruly. i long for straight hair and if anyone can help me, with advice and reccomending what i can use. i must stress that i cant afford a salon treatment!!! iv read of people sucsessfully using home kits. any help would be great. thanx!!! x
I have extremely curly hair and I would suggest you think long and hard before straightening. No matter if you do it yourself or have it professionally done, straightening your hair will cause it to break more easily and get more split ends. You also need to take into account how fast your hair grows. If you are not able to afford a salon to straighten your hair you need to factor up the cost of straightening it yourself every few months. I must also stress that if your hair is really curly even the expensive Japanese straighteners may not take all the curl out. I used something called Simply Straight that I found at Target. It helped to relax my hair, but did not take all of the curl out. It helped to make it more manageable.
just get it done at a salon to avoid problems.
Don't do it!! You will regret it!! It breaks down your hair so much that you will not be able to do anything with it. A good straightening iron is what you need. There are plenty of other ways to straighten your hair without tediously using a straightener. Get hair magazines and research on line. You will thank me later.
So here's the deal, I have a strong passion for makeup, doing other peoples makeup, and designing clothes. And I'm basically a makeup junkie, I love trying and testing out new beauty items.
Except, can I really go anywhere in life doing that?
I mean, yeah...I could try and become a makeup artist...or something in the fashion industry, but I feel like people would look at me like I'm just superficial about everything, and I'm not.
My family is already telling me, go to college for a real career in something. To get a REAL job in something.
I'm interested in alot of things, just not like I am with makeup, hair, and fashion.
I have to agree with the parents go to college, but you can do what you love and so many colleges now have job placement after you graduate. Look for a college that offers clothes design, who knows you could be the next Calvin Klein, but you do need a back up plan.....get the experience you need even if it is in buisness mangement and start your own buisness, go to beauty school and start your own salon, I know its harder than that, I have recently started my own buisness and it is hard and takes money but you have to be dedicated. what is better than getting paid for something you love to do. Just research it, here is a few sites I found just by putting in college fashion and makeup in the search engine they may not be what you are looking for, but you can research it yourself.
Come do my makeup. You have to do what makes you happy not what make your parents happy. It can be a profitable career if you do it right.
get an internship with a cosmetic company - that way you can learn all the ins and outs of the industry.
If u have fun dancing and have passion for it, then go ahead. U gotta do somethings for yourself in life, right? And u need to relax and have fun sometimes, right? Go ahead and dance if u think u can manage to.
You are right, you could go to Macy's, Dillards or a glamour shots studio and get a job, but if you want to appease your parents and still be satisfied with your creativity, think interior designer-big bucks!!If you are really good with hair and make up then you can easily take your talent and do something meaningful with it, especially if you start now. It can be soo glamorous and prestigious to be an interior decorator!! Good Luck :)
Well first ask yourself do you have any other things you are itnterested in besides makeup if so what is it like are you interested in what god has in plan for you? If so pray to him for advice to see what you should do he may not answer you right away but he will just be patient and have faith in him because he has a plan for you. Also whatever it is your parents will be proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless You:)
um... first of all
if it's your passion then dont worry about what others have to say
who cares what they have to say, it's your life =)
but if you do have interest in other things, try them out
but if you have a gift in makeup and fashion then pursue it
look at the famous makeup artists they do a great job b/c it's their passion
pursue it =)
remember
it's YOUR life
=)
i need help figuring out what i should do with my hair and makeup for a ball in 2 days ! pleassee help , i have blond hair but itsnot like platnum blond its in between that and a dark blond , i have blueish green eyes and im wearing a white dress with silver design in it, its long too btw , %26amp; strapless , i may add a tiara but im not suree , plzzz help me ! i only have 2 days lol , thanx
I like the bun look on this doll. And the clip the doll is wearing sounds pretty with this.
http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/End...
And the makeup-just keep it light as possible... with the elegant dress-dark makeup wouldn't seem to look very well. Maybe just a soft pink for the makeup.
You could buy a home tanning kit to add a more natural glow to your skin.
visit http://www.must-haves.co.uk for fab ideas. I think the tiara might be a bit much, I would go for long curls.

My Kitchenaid refrigerator model ktrs21, ten years old, started leaking defrost water from top freezer into lower fridge section about two years ago. (There is no ice maker in freezer). The defrost water will not go down the drain tube (from the drain pan in the freezer to the evaporator tray underneath the unit). Instead, the defrost water refreezes on the freezer floor, builds up, then overflows into the fridge section thru the three air exchange openings.
To fix, I turn the power off and soften the ice with a hair dryer and remove it. This resolves the leaking problem for several weeks, until the ice builds up again and the leaking starts all over.
The drain tube has an obstruction at about the bottom of the freezer; either it is not continuous by design, or somehow became closed. The back of the refrigerator is sealed, so there is no obvious way of getting to the drain tube from the back.
Any idea of cause of water leak and how to fix??
Thanks in advance.
Frank
you have a clogged defrost drain, but its not clogged with anything but ice, a failing common to KA T/B models. It clogs with ice because the drain pan, which is behind the back wall underneath the evaporator coil, and the floor of the freezer arent steep enough for the water that drips down from the evaporator, to rush down the drain. So some water stays in the pan and freezes, eventually cloogging up the hole, and then you eventually get to where you are.
the cure is a simple AND inexpensive. If it costs more than 5 cents, you used too much wire. lol BUT, it will be rather inconvenient, cuz it is BEST to unplug, open both doors, and blow a fan for 24 hours to melt all the ice that you cant get to. WARNING: do not attempt to poke at drain with anything period. if you poke the wrong way, and you will, you'll create a problem extremely difficult to fix. patience is a virtue.
After its completely defrosted, take a piece of solid 14 or 12 gauge wire, typical wire used for household wiring is said wire, strip all insulation off wire. Needle nose pliers work best for this drain heater wire. bend the end of the wire so it looks like you have a candy cane with a very long tail. the cane part should be between 褰? and 闄? in diameter, just big enough to hook onto the cal rod heater which hangs below the evaporator coil, above the drain pain. Its a black or dark gray looking wire about 褰? in diameter. wrap this wire around the heater a few times and then cut the wire so that you have a tail of about 4-6 inches. With this end of the wire you just cut bend and close the end of it so it looks like a ? that has been shut closed. the purpose of this is to prevent the end of the wire getting caught on any part of the rubber drain tubing, since you are now going to stick the end of the wire down the drain hole, which will now heat up every time unit defrosts, and will melt any ice that will surround that drain hole again, but will allow a path for water past the freezing point
UPDATED: Since you are attempting to do this by yourself, please re-read my answer. I know it may be inconvenient, but the best and only way I will instruct, is what I have already stated, and that includes not poking anything. If you insist on doing so, you do so at your own risk.
fill a turkey baster w/hot soapy water and blast it up the tube.

I am pulling my hair out over this problem.
I have just learned the unix shell scripting langs. I use bourne. I have spent weeks designing a program and refining it that converts a certain kind of file to a different kind of file via the rearranging of colums through matlab. the one problem i face is that i call upon unix to "ls" crd files and put them into a text file. Matlab reads this text file and stores the names of the CRD's as variables and works on them.
The one issue i face is that it wont work with subdirectories. matlab can only work with files in it's immediate directory. the logical resolution is to CD matlab. But, I need to let Matlab know where to CD to, while at the same time, my unix script knows that Matlab is changing directories, so unix can act appropriately. I cannot get past this. can anyone offer help?
Thanks, This is a lifesaver...
Well, I'm an expert with shell scripts, but I know very little about Matlab. If you can provide a little more information about your shell script, I suspect lots of folks could answer your question. Maybe you could post the portion of the code that has to do with listing the current directory to pass on to Matlab?
Why are impractical clothes, lack of creative individual expression, %26amp; having a fun life deemed uuprofessional
Ie whats the big deal about a suit...
Can't go in the washing machine, shoes have no ankle support or grip, lack of pokets, over prices cant keep you cool or warm and the tie is designed to getting in you dinner or equipment.
Whats your hairstyle got to do with mending pipes, typing, fixing computers, or flying a plane?
Ie doing you job well
And surely if you can come up with creative origonal styles you can come up with creative, original ideas and be good at problem solving and quality work taking the same pride as your hair style.
Plus what does it matter if you come in with a hicky, or send love emails at work if not slowing down work?
Are not most in a couple and a healthy reltionship means less stress so better at work.
With dating collegues as how else to you get to know people and find them other then in nightclubs...
Too much writing, but here goes. A formal job will require a formal appearance, society regards formal stuff as professional, formal people will mix with formal people and avoid putting feeling into their work.
So I suppose you'd like your fast food burger served to you on a Toilet seat, right?
it's not about the clothes, it's about the packaging of the person inside. Yeah, you'd sure like to be 'expressive', but when it comes to holding a job, following the "professional" line is not about YOU, it's about what YOU CAN DO while wearing that suit. And what YOU CAN DO is more important to the company than your own personal wardrobe style.
Because employees have discovered through experience that practical clothes, creative expressive, fun people are better for productivity. Other employees don't spend their entire day watching you make a tit of yourself rather than work, and you don't scare customers away - for starters.
who ever said having a lack of creativity is professional?
this is a damn good question matey.
what is the big deal about a suit?
I hate it when i see people who wear suits and dont even work in an office, trying to look dapper. makes me laugh bro. i think it might be insecurity..or maybe a status thing..... lol....
suits are crap, are'nt they?
and ties.... please dont get me started.
I dont think it matters if you go to work with a hikky or send love mails if not slowing your work down. offices suck.
Like i said i like this question, but i could moan for hours about this subject. but i won't bore you dude. you take care now, and throw some more of those questions my way.. peace out bro
I agree completely. my boss was always asking me to cut my hair, so I got dread locks instead! further more he used to complain i was stoned 24/7. so what! I can do my work better than most of the other lazy crazy bald heads I work with.
I guess people(employers) hate to see you having more fun and getting more from life than them.
Social conditioning.
If you are an estate agent you are expected to have a suit and too much hair gel. If you arrive to value a house in shorts and sandals, people will think you are unprofessional, though in Australia they probably wouldn't mind as their social conditioning and expectations are different to UK or US.
I worked in a special school, most people working there had tattoos or visible piercings. Then they said they would no longer employ people with visible tats or piercings as they gave the "wrong impression".
And guess what?
They watched a whole bunch of really good staff walk out, and the nice untattood unpierced replacements couldn't take the strain of getting battered every day by an upset autistic adolescent.
Proving that it is what is inside that counts.
I could not go to work looking like a stuffed penguin every day no matter how much I earned.
I have my personal feels contradict my professional knowing.
I could care less what the person looks like as long as he or she is clean and helps me find what I need... does the service, takes my cash and serves my food without an attitude and so forth. Why? Close mindedness

Funny. But no star.
Did you make them all?cool!!
Great stuff - thanks
Okay, I know that this is asked probably like 50 times a day here, but I really would like to know.
What is the best free CMS?
Our company have currently installed Drupal 5.x and its SO darn complicated to understand that our content managers are pulling their hair out. Not to mention we had to unprofessionally go with a pre-made theme because its impossible to understand.
We need a CMS to use for our multimedia and game design company so that its easier for us to update constantly changing game information.
We are looking into CMS Made Simple (for its excellent theming) but I would like opinions before we download and install another CMS.
Would Drupal 6 (test version) be worth trying? Is it easier to understand? I heard Joombla is resource intensive, but is it easier to use?
We basically need Easy Theming, Forums (or integration with MyBB) and User Groups. Please give us suggestions on the best free CMS to use. Thank you for your time!
I would strongly recommend silverstripe, it has a great UI and is easy to use, but I'm not sure if this would quite meet your needs for integration. Also, I've heard some good things about Plone. Both of these are open source and free to use and modify as you please.
Why did he create pimples and pubic hair for humans? Why do humans have more trouble giving childbirth more than any other species (narrow hips)?
Why did he make certain kids autistic (like my cousin, for example) Isn't that....(dare I say) rather ungodly and cruel?
The human species hardly seems like an intelligent design to me.
He must be autistic.
I thought that "pain in childbirth" was expressly part of God's curse when he tossed Adam %26amp; Eve out of Eden. I guess that there was no pain before then.
I suppose that all of our other problems, like pimples, birth defects, etc. are a result of the curse on the Earth too.
As far as pubic hair goes, it seems to serve a biologocial function. If I have to explain it to you, then you are probably too young to know.
I think he is just not there.
Good call on the hips, you are right.
Thin women are the result of modern health care. Throughout history (and prehistory), the leading cause of death for women has been childbirth.
If you look at the cave art of pre- and proto- humans, and female art forms over historic times, you will notice that women are always depicted as having wide hips.
For my master閳ユ獨 thesis I did an osteological/paleo-demographic study of the skeletal remains of 127 prehistoric Native Americans. The person who lived longer than any of the others was a woman whose pelvis was so open that, I swear, you could have dropped a basketball through it without hitting anything.
Almost all of the other females died during their late teens or early 20s (the prime child birthing years).
No. Your the Autistic one. created most of that stuff NOT GOD!!!!
Would prefer a site that gives picture examples using different face shapes.
try thehairstylist.com.They'll take one of you picturesand give thousands of hairstyles for you.
Try some hair styles and tips on this site
A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland addressed the priest beside her. "Father, may I ask a favor of you?" "Of course. What can I do for you?" "Well, I bought an expensive! electronic hair dryer that is well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there anyway you could carry it through customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"
"I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie." "With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."
When they got to customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The customs officer asked, "Father, do you have any! thing to declare?" "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare," the priest responded.
The officer thought this answer strange, so he asked,
"And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?"
"I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on
a woman, but which is, to date, unused." The officer laughed and said, go ahead,next
lol, never heard it, not bad.
I have heard it before but it is still funny lol.
lmao...star.
lol
- My back continually hurts since my 20s
- My eyesight was never good but it is getting progressively worse.
- There seem to be several blemishes on my body, they have been there since birth. Some have sprouted hair.
- Sometimes my head hurts for no particular reason
- I get a runny nose when confronted with pollen, often coupled with sneezing. This is rather annoying as pollen is everywhere.
- Why are my feet always cold?
- I seem to leak at set times. Another process produces a typically brown substance that I will not describe further. But why couldn't it have been pink and smelling of roses?
I could go on but you get the gist. In short, I am most dissatisfied with this product and I want my money back or I will sue on the basis of incompetent design.
Since you don't seem to return my calls I will visit one of your summer retreats on earth and place my demands there. I also have a complaint about the loud noise they make on sunday morning when I'm trying to get some sleep in.
try 1-800-ITS-ALL-CRAP.
You could drop 5, too.
No, I mean I like you...I'm just sayin'....
too funny, ya made me laugh, thanks, now I'll read the rest of your story, such a comic you are
EDIT - didnt you read the fine print? lol
So much for "intelligent" design.
Blame our compassion, if it weren't for that we would have evolved stronger genes and might be able to deal with pollen a little better. We come up with drugs and remedies to keep people with weak genes alive and reproducing so there's no chance of us getting rid of bad attributes.
I'm glad for it though, or my numerous faults would have me left out in the wilderness to die at birth.
Sorry, but no warranty is expressed or implied.
He outsourced with Wallmart, didn't you realize?
With God, you demand nothing.
Well said!
A perfect being cannot create imperfection.
Go to the higher being customer service desk.
Rest assured.....you'll get yours.
Ummm, well, if you're really dissatisfied with the product, why continue to use it?
No worries. You'll get all you justly deserve soon enough.
Cheers!
Are you saying that you paid in the first place?
Well you're pretty whiny. The refund desk is just around the corner, past the water cooler, up to the third floor, and straight ahead. Ask for Doris, she's the best.
I don't how to tell you this.....But YOU DO KNOW...that you'll never get a date with that approach....... My work here is done...
You are too funny! I have always liked to think that we were created flawed so that we could never achieve perfection and not become a God ourselves.
oh...did you pay for the life you have? can't get a refund for what was given to you for free...
another ungrateful slob...
Go to customer service at Wal Mart, they'll give you your money back for anything.
After reading your list of complaints I thought I should tell you to speak to satan, since he was the one who kicked off the whole original sin thing, then I thought you should speak to Eve, since she was the one who actually took the first bite...
Then I remembered....
You can ask Him yourself face to face...right after your 'heart melts'.
"Wail, for the day of the LORD is near!
It will come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore all hands will fall limp, And every man's heart will melt.
They will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor,They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame.
Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation;
And He will exterminate its sinners from it.
Isaiah 13
I wrote a letter. Never got a reply. My design is flawed as well.
-I get dizzy easily
-Asthma, allergies
-It seems that there is a monthly issue with bleeding that is quite annoying, and costs me money and sometimes dignity.
-What's up with this stupid rash, and why did I have to be born with it?!
-Why do I only have nine toenails?
I also have more complaints, but I want to go back to watching Hellsing. =P
The only thing is, what does a "refund" imply. Look out for lightning bolts.
Further evidence that some Christians have absolutely no sense of humor . . .
My nose is dripping. I'm going to be in line right behind you. I have a complaint about the nasal plumbing during the summer. I thought summer colds were rare.
Tell him I would like to request a larger reproductive organ
The higher power that created you were your parents. Tell them that you want your money back.
You楹搑e right. GOD Corp. is a fraud. I wonder if we could count on a recall of all the faulty christian models, like Ford or Toshiba or Sony does. Christians would probably mix that up with afterlife as they rise to their doom, they would get disassembled and thrown on the industrial garbage pile in the factory patio!
And all the ones "Left Behind" would be the ones worthy of evolutionary purposes.
Did I mix subjectivity and objectivity here? Well Christians are allowed to, so let me indulge myself... Right?
You never paid a price. You decided long ago, either by your own design or through influence of another, that your life had a cost and to this day you have not repaid that debt.
I, personally, would not choose to hold such a belief. As I would not desire the effect on perception, which in turn would collide with situations of different nature. Taking over my life as though I had decided my entire fate with just a single phrase never spoken aloud.
You have always been free. Free to choose your experience and what it should be. You have been given this freedom from birth and even prior to that. God does not create godself within you except through your own creative process.
God has left insignia upon mankind, and yet God is comprised of all that exists.
Is it possible, nay probable that You have been made of the energy and matter that you alone have gathered over the years. Mom sqeezed you out, but you ate the bread, drank the wine, and listen to the words of others, and took in the images of reality, you interpreted them. You made them what they are TO YOU.
To another such as I they are not as you describe. I would have to be insane to demand cash from myself.
I am not suggesting I am God except in the sense of what you perceive God to have done, while you are the one responsible, so am I for my life.
Maybe you are insane.
Only one way to find out.
Call upon everyone else to tell you what you should think, say, and do.
There are those who always complain about themselves and what they do or don't have or how they never were dealt a good life.
There are those who love through Christ and ignore their own suffering while helping those less fortunate or in need. They love from wheelchairs, give while dying of cancer, open their hearts to any who will accept their love.
Which are you?
