Mirabelle, your 6:65 P
Ah-HA!!!!!
Just as I figured... Grant writing. Much like proposal writing, so I was not far off. Yes, I knew it would take more than ten minutes to write that one...my exaggerated estimate was to draw you out. It worked.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I'm not surprised by the philosophy on your closet shelf as well. It shows. Thanks for playing with in our virtual sandbox!
Fun stuff to know: Supposedly George Will still writes with a fountain pen and Isaac Asimov never revised -- he wrote it once and that was it.
Physical or Mental Impediments?
"Hence Mirabelle may be working with distractions and impediments I do not have."
Mirabelle is quadripelegic compared to you. LOL.
No offense to the handicapped, but you'e one funny dude Hootie.
I wish I had the time to share my thoughts with Ms. M.... Hopefully soon. That is if she gives me the time of day....
I read some of the Edwards stuff
Thomas,
You read some of the Edwards stuff....hmmm did you get to the part where he intergrated Newtonian law into that particular sermon? That was the part I wanted you to read. Thomas for the record which surely you will forget 2 seconds from now some spaz on the radio means nothing to me. Some people think Hitler was a fun guy????? If you surmise from said spaz people of faith thus.....you are not using critical thinking skills which you so highly value.
Really stupid people say really stupid things
Me I do it for fun. What the hell? Applebee and one lady who will go unmentioned at this moment do it intentionally.
Granted, I don't believe Applebee is stupid
Elroy,
Stupid no, brain damaged most likely. Which should illict sympathy and does.
Mirabelle
Mirabelle,
Do keep trying I think you're near a break through. Pretend you writing Little Women use that as a motivator. Maybe rent the movie with Claire Danes in it to inspire you. Don't think for a moment girls can't write good stuff, I mean Woman's Day magazine is a good example.
You are the little engine that could, be positive. Maybe use that time of the month to channel that extra emotion into writing.
MacBadger-on learning how to write
Wheeler,
Wheeler,
I think manufactured posts are just that manufactured. Thus I use a stream of conscious thought. Some like Mirabelle need to spend inordinate amounts of time first summoning thoughts together. I don't they are there when I need them. Some may be heavily sedated, which would lead to the need to edit continuously I am not.
Hence Mirabelle may be working with distractions and impediments I do not have. We can all applaud the work that she churns, out since it appears to be such a labor for someone meeting such challenges. I am only surmising here though and that should be understood.
MacBadger-on learning how to write
Since you asked so nicely...
I write for a living. Grantwriting mostly, but I've also written newsletters, stories and poems (who hasn't has a poetry phase!). I honed my writing skills as a philosophy major...with a professor who would not just give me an 'A' because I was coherent.
Like most things, you get better the more you practice. I learned a long time ago that if you just write as you speak, it works out rather well. Read a lot of good books with quality writing, so you can see how it should be done. And don't be afraid to try new things.
You are quite wrong in assuming my writing on that post took only 10 minutes. It's usually the work of an hour: getting the first draft done, going over it with an editing eye, and rereading it to make sure it's what I want to say on the subject at hand. I will say there ARE times when my dander gets up and I fire off a volley, only to end up with a rant and not a thoughtful piece. In my opinion, Elroy is a far better writer than I am...and always will be.
I am honored that you enjoyed how I said what I said, even if you don't agree with me.
Why Fox 'News' isn't news
Elroy - regarding Fox News - yes, it is directly opposite your views. Unfortunately, it is the only "news" station, including ABC, NBC and CBS that doesn't prostrate themselves before Obama. It is the only station that you can go to to hear the other side.
CNN, MSN and especially World News Tonight on ABC, fawn over Obama like the man can't do any wrong. They sicken me as much as Fox. They push their own agenda too, very hard as a matter of fact, and I doubt some of their "news" is the truth.
The fact that Obama tried to ostracize Fox News made me sick. And scared me.
The Resurrection !!!
Hugh: Why are you still asking this question And I agian ask you the same (Question) Have You accepted God offer of Salvation which is Jesus Christ? Then you might see the answer seeking for and it is by Faith for no man can answer that question for none of us were there ? So how can we give a answer except if we were there and if it was important it would been written in our Bible:
What is important, is that we, me and you should be focus on is by His resurection and that in Him (death, hell and the grave) cannot hold those who believe in Him and by Him are life is change on this side of heaven and we have life after death with God the Father in heaven.
Focus on that Hugh instead of asking Foolish Questions:
It's about RESPECT...
Mirabelle,
You are free to place a big sign on your house that says I'm an A**hole don't bother me, perhaps that will work.
The rest of your post about this being a land of freedom I think I dispensed with in my post to Applebee. We are a nation of the manipulated, we get enough drugs to keep us sedated.
As far as my kids and them being harrassed it would come with the territory nothing they would not expect. They could even be killed for it, and the oldest at least knows that. Like I said get yourself a shot gun and start blowing people away. That's the approach you use here on the forum scatter spraying eveyone of a certain faith when ever you pop up! I mean I hope you continue it's quite fun.
How's the religion of NOW working right NOW.
So fart into the wind catcha whiff and relax will ya.
The Resurrection !!!
Hugh,
I gave numerous thoughts on his clothes, Why you persist in such a stupid line of questioning in not reflective on us but rather YOU!
A Politican is a Politican:
Elder Walker,
I proudly voted for President Obama and support him to this DAY! The people flapping their gums are the sore losers generally.
President Obama is my President, God Bless him.
The Resurrection !!!
No Christian on this Forum can explain where the risen Christ got clothes from, after the resurrection, leaving his shroud behind in the tomb.
Why?
Because there is no sensible answer.
Why Fox 'News' isn't news
Elroy, The only thing I watch from Fox, and that is sports, not that swag of a so called news media. God bless President Obama, man, I just love saying that. It use to sicken me when I hear these same people say the same thing about Shrub and Cheney. I read that book Blinded by the Right and What went wrong with the Right.
