Given that I've been through the process, I'm comfortable with my knowledge of what it requires and what it means. I think it's fair to assume that your hystrionic response was because a nerve was hit in there somewhere, and that your judgment is not exactly unbiased.

I know nothing of the facts of your annulment -- in fact these things are canonically regulated to the internal forum.

Nor does it seem the least bit histrionic to point out that you that you know nothing about the case of my annulment or the time line, and that regardless of your own personal experience and knowledge of the topic in general that everything you wrote about my case was incorrect.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Look Quirt: if you want to drop something, just drop it. It is passive aggressive to take a parting shot and then accuse the other person of wanting the last word.

So have at it.

Ya'll wonder why we get defensive when it comes to this stuff. How would you feel if a core part of who you are is under attack? Imagine being told that who you are is an abomination? Then imagine being told you can't marry the person you love. You talk about gays sleeping around and such, well heteros ain't exactly the most faithful people either. The divorce rate is, what, 50%? Oh, and I know gay people who have been with their partners longer than many straights. BTW - my parents (hetero) have been married for 41 years. Ya'll need to take a good look at yourselves before you start pointing the finger at others.

Hilary, I see your point, but I think it is one sided. If anyone on here does not approve of gay marriage or gay activities or whatever, they immediately get labeled a bigot and a homophobe, a hater. How does it behoove you (teh rhetorical you) to become so much like those which you oppose?

I like blueberry muffins. Whenever they are still warm, I cut the top off, put some butter in the middle, put the top back on, and eat it.

I know I'm going to die of a heart attack, but it tastes so good.

No, no, no..... you're doing it all wrong!!

You have to have the whole stick of butter handy, and put a pat of butter on the edge where you're gonna bite. After each bit, you put on another pat.

It is a requirement when eating blueberry muffins that you use a 2 to 1 ratio of muffin and butter... one part butter to 2 parts muffin - or, 3 regular sized muffins = half a stick of butter.

If you're going to eat muffins, do it right, man! :D

Nahh see, it's a totally different game than it used to be. I mean heck, just look at the Shadowmoor stuff that's come out. You can untap permanents now. That in and of itself opens the game up to some sick continuous loops, but there's also Feeble, Corona, Whither, etc. Totally different game than it used to be a decade ago.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

You fascist. Blueberry muffins are a sacred animal in my home town, and buttering up their insides is tantamount to killing small children by setting fire to them and throwing them off a cliff.

Nobody ever thinks of the children!!!!!

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

When I was a kid we'd buy hedges from the local garden centre. The idea of hiring some moustachio'd twerp to arrange the payments would quite frankly have been laughed at, but then again, we didn't have gas at 4 dollars a gallon, and we'd generally catch the bus home.

Streusel Topped Blueberry Muffins

A hint of lemon zest really perks up the blueberries in these cinnamon-sugar crowned muffins

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
* 1/2 cup butter
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
* 1/2 cup milk
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 5 tablespoons white sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 2 tablespoons butter, diced

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

2. Combine 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons flour over blueberries, and set aside. (This simple trick will keep you from having "purple" batter)

3. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter with 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, and stir in vanilla and lemon zest. Fold in dry ingredients alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries. Remember, fold gently, don't stir. Spoon batter into prepared cups.

4. Combine 2 tablespoons flour, 5 tablespoons sugar ,and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles course crumbs. Sprinkle over batter in muffin cups.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack. These muffins freeze really well, and re-heat in the microwave successfully.

When I was doing Civil War reenacting, there was a reenactor that everyone just called "Ogre" (I never knew his real name, even though I saw him at many reenactments over a dozen years). They used to sing a song for him, sung to the tune of "Jesus Loves the Little Children:"

Ogre loves the little children,
All the children of the world,
Red or yellow, black or white,
They're all delicious in his sight,
Ogre loves the little children of the world...

but I guess there's a lot of stuff said here that isn't very nice or very clever.

Ditto on that. I shudder sometimes at some of the nasty things said here.

you mean things like this lb?



"This thread is about the people of California and their opinion of the law on this topic. It is not about IT or any personal matter in his past life that we not only do not know nor do we need to know the details of. It is not about how badly worn out Daniel's asshole might be. It is not about whether Daniel has pecker on his breath. Nor is it about whether or not Daniel enjoys being humiliated by his sexual partner, or if Daniel is the "little woman" in his relationship. It is also not about whether or not Daniel's "husband" is as mentally handicapped as Daniel. All these are questions that could be put to Daniel with all the same "innocence" that Ax thinks was behind Daniel's question, but they have nothing to do with the topic.

We've now established (again) that Daniel is a pathetic little twit, and we've now established (again) that Ax could look at a light switch and after analyzing everything around it right down to a paint drip a foot away from it, he would conclude that it was a toaster oven.

I suggest we leave all that behind and get back to the topic of the thread."
