In this new year 2019, the passage of time reminds us that young people turning 18 - when many acquire their first ink as adults - were born in 2001 (the year of 9/11). The years have moved on considerably. So has tattoo culture moved on also and broadened considerably also from a strongly...

So: who has a new year's resolution?:)

John 14.6

Things are getting serious over the Pond. The Mother of Parliaments censures the UK Government for a lack of transparency. The British Prime Minister, after 17 months of Brexit negotiations, and after enthusiastically and lengthily promising to back its own motion for the House of Commons to...

Any ideas, ppl? Lots of ppl will be expecting soon to buy gifts for others...

Okay, so I'll start: Up here, snow on the ground but no snow fallen just lately. Dull day and cold.

Who has read Malachi lately? :) I do love this verse: "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."

So for those of us who wear or have worn earrings: what are people's preferences? Studs? rings? plugs? pendants?

Statistically the children of smokers are far more likely to start smoking than sons and daughters of non-smoking parents. There is another quit smoking thread, but the specific question now is: Do smokers have children who smoke or are likely to? and if so, would this make you more determined...

So who has been to Vegas? The gambling wouldn't interest me, but there are many competive hotels with good deals, there are competitive flights there; interesting museums and much spectacular mountain scenery nearby, and of course the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon not so far away.

So who has piercings other than at ears, or maybe would consider doing it? E.g., in Ezekiel 16.12, the Lord Himself gives a nose ring to Zion. It's a passage of figurative language; does anyone have them other than in ears?

So who has been to New Jersey? Some ppl think of NJ as an extension of NYC - after all, Liberty Island with the Statue of Liberty is within waters of the State of New Jersey because it's far nearer the Jersey shore than Manhattan. But New Jersey also has (some of) the Pocono Mountains and the...

It's probably the most amazing US state that I've been to. Mountain wilderness and clear water and air. Wide open spaces. What a glorious Creator we have! :)

We visited poet Robert Frost's house near Franconia, in the Green Mountains. The house's mailbox still has the word 'Frost' written on it! We were in New Hampshire just as the New England fall was looking splendid!

Mine or one of them has to be Psalm 23: :) "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through...

So what is everyone's favorite airline?

FYI, here are great Biblical lyrics in effective hard rock: Disciple's 'Radical'

Okay so I've started various threads at varying levels of cerebral engagement or otherwise. I guess one topical subject would be, How many ear piercings do ppl have? I myself don't wear earrings any more; it used to be years ago that guys would wear one on one side if at all, although the...

A comment about hair on another thread gave me the idea for a new thread.

"Elizabeth Arden was a huge advocate for women’s rights. In 1912, Arden alongside 15,000 other suffragettes marched past her Red Door Salon in New York, all wearing red lipstick. Red lipstick became a symbol of unity and power among women’s rights activists." smiiink dot com /...
