Well, look at it this way. You’ll both have an incentive to whip him into shape and the means of doing a bit of muscle toning yourself!

The scale sez “Baby Scale”.

I’m pretty certain that it is “4.015″ pounds.

If you’ve ever hefted a full, 5 gallon pail, 35 pounds, you know that if it weighed “40 pounds” the Doc couldn’t hold it like he does.

“There are very few amongst my friends or acquaintance with whom I can discuss the issues that concern me”

I live in Indiana. When talking to my few atheist friends we check over our shoulders or wait for certain people to walk away. One of my atheist friends told me he hasn’t told anyone else because he has kids in the public schools. Another one is afraid she’ll lose business if people know she’s an atheist. If I didn’t have the interwebs I wouldn’t be the most open atheist I know here, but I’m much more closeted than I was even during my years in Texas.

I second that. I love my family and friends dearly but I don’t have rational discussions with them, it’s too painful for all of us.
The internet in general and Eric’s blog in particular are my second home.

Evil weighs 53 1/2 pounds. Could be an exaggeration. Maybe.

J: I’m old, so I have nothing to lose.

Wasn’t this a line by Mickey Rooney? Or was it Andy?

I think it’s pretty clear that they were at each other’s throats with different theologies and beliefs from day one. Paul is always complaining about false prophets and all the different gospels which didn’t make it into the bible make it pretty clear that things were very complex and confused from the beginning.

” . . . being connected over the internet is to be connected in a way that relationships within my immediate community cannot satisfy.”

Does that ever resonate!
