You and msbeanctr are right on target and very eloquet.

Born again
I am a Christian, so I understand witnessing to others; nevertheless, I have to say that I don't agree with that approach, because I've seen it fail before - not with everyone - but for the most part, that stance ends up driving people away rather than drawing them. People don't want to hear someone tell them they're going to hell because they're doing this, that, or the other. Maybe they do need to hear that from somebody, but it still comes across as judgmental, and being judgmental is something that Christians are NOT to be. The old saying "you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" applies here. He needs to understand that he can't force people to convert to Christianity just because he says all those things to them. Maybe you could suggest that he not come on so heavy, and instead try inviting people to visit his church, and leave it at that.

Go to the bookstore. Buy him a book called "Jesus Freaks" (I am serious). He will love it. Then ask him about the book. Whether he is Buddhist, Christian, or atheist, it is always a great gift to have someone listen to your view. Americans view themselves as a Christian nation, and you just might learn something. keep an open mind, and stick to the subject of the book. Good luck and I hope the experience is a good one for both of you. The book is very interesting in the depth of human compassion and passion - no matter what your personal beliefs are.

What is his age now and when was he born?

If you know the time of day you were born, sm
please tell us, and if you are a day person or a night person. I was born at 11:50 a.m., and am very much a night person. I don't seem "with it" until noonish every day.
I've always wondered if our birth time might be indicative of what hours we function best (or whatever hours we prefer to function).
Let's see!!!
Born in the early AM and that is when I
function best.
Born at 9:36 a.m. - Day person. nm
I was born at 1:17 am, Night Owl here.

My daughter was born at 1:28 a.m. and if she is
doesn't even get in the shower till oh, about 9:00 p.m. And she sleeps till 1 or 2 p.m. if she doesn't have to work. Drives me nuts! But then, I was born at 7:00 a.m. and I like to get up early and then am falling asleep by 10, 11 p.m. at the latest.
Born at 1:23 p.m. and definitely a night owl! nm

Where on Earth were you born?
I was born at Fort Leonardwood, Missouri - my papa was in the Army. How about you? 
Kittens being born..HELP...
any advice on what to do with these kittens? Mom has decided to have them in a paper grocery bag (did not like any of the places we had set up for her!) She is just a kitten herself, a stray who showed up pregnant. One has already been stillborn, not sure how many more to follow! I know to keep the other cats away from her, but I have got appointments in town all day and can't just have her in a paper sack? Is it okay to put her and the sack into one of the boxes or what? Any help would be appreciated...TIA, the new grandma!
just those born from 1946 to 1964
ages 41 to 59
too many "rug rats" here.
MY baby boy born 12/17/75, what a treasure. :) nm

I guess pedophiles are born that way too. Just can't help themselves and
Gays are pushing their lifestyle. I prefer don't ask don't tell and for gawd's sake don't make a movie about cowboys and gay sex.
I was born 4:31 p.m. and most definitely am a night person.

My niece was born at 4:16 this morning.
My sister in law gave birth to my niece at 4:16 this morning and I am sure that people will raise their eyebrows everytime she tells someone her DOB.
Truman was pres when I was born!!!....nm
My daughter was born with hydrocephalus
and is shunted. Two years ago on our way to the Milwaukee Zoo she had an extremely abrupt shunt failure (fine that morning, and then a seizure and starting to lose consciousness in the van.. just out of the blue), and ended up with a helicopter ride back to Madison and into surgery. Every day that I drop her off at school, I worry about if that will happen again, if they will recognize what's going on. She has a medical bracelet, and we've talked to the school and the teachers many times about it, but it still drives me crazy not to be able to be with her and see how she is. I do know that even though they have her whole history in front of them, she was still rollerblading and doing tumbling, etc., in gym class, which I didn't know about, and considering she has the shunt on the back of her head, it would have been nice to know. We won't have those problems at home.
south where
Church retreats, bus tours. Casinos. (Tournaments for pinochle)....
where in the south are you?
some schools here started today, but mine started LAST Monday! It's kind of a relief, but I miss 'em already! Have a good first day of school! 
And here in the south we would say...
Bless your heart, in other words you don't know any better and I feel sorry for the venom you are spewing out. You must really be one angry person! You assume this and that about the job I am doing. I format no work, keep no records, no copies. There are a lot of people out there who read these posts and it seems like you have just called a whole host of them unprofessional with the term "any professional peers" not beubg worried about their jobs. I think most of the people worrying might object to that. Just go back under your rock and I hope things pick up for you. Again, bless your heart.
You can be born gay or with an attraction to goats. You just don't follow through
on your instincts and attractions and sodomize the person/animal you are attracted to.
Born at 7 p.m. and definitely prefer the mornings. I think it's an age thing though.
Great sunrise and new hopeful expectations for the day.
Born at 8:30 pm, totally a night person, NM

Born at 10:46 a.m. and defininitely a morning person!!
!
That's very interesting! I don't remember what time I was born
I am very much a night person & like you, my brain does not seem to fully function until noon-time! If my memory serves me correctly, I believe I was born in the wee hours of the morning (basically the middle of the night) I'm curious to read what the other posters have to say! Great thread!
Agree! That was big when my DD was born. People naming

yep, she grew up poor... born 1935, so I'm sure sm
the economy wasn't exactly booming then, and they were certainly poor. My dad born in 1923, and HE would wash old bread wrappers to use as lunch bags, and then wash em again and use them till they fell apart. Why buy plastic bags when they come free on the bread?
My mom hoarded things too - also born 1935 - sm
when she died in 09/04 we found a lot...I already knew she hoarded paper towels and toilet paper (over 40 rolls of each in the house for 2 people); we found about 48 bags of Hersey nugget candy in one of the closets, about 40 boxes of zip lock bags, canned vegetables, etc. My dad and I divided up everything he wanted to get rid of between himself, my 2 brothers and me, so we did a 4-ways split of a lot of kitchen items. Also found about 10 boxes of brand new unopened perfumes, Poison, Chanel No. 5, etc. My mom would use things, clothes, etc. until they basically shredded. I don't hoard though I do have a lot of stuff, clothes from high school and college I just don't want to part with, lots of shoes too...I did get rid of a lot of my clothes but still have quite a bit left which I doubt I will part with for a long time, I am hoping my daughters get some use from my clothes as I have some very good stuff saved. But its interesting how older people (women mainly) tend to hoard. My mom was also compulsive about checking the doors each night to see if they were locked, she'd check them 3-4 x before going to bed. I wish she was still here so I could watch her do all the stuff she used to do and rag on her for having 40 rolls of toilet paper like I used to. She'd always say, but it was on sale....
My daughter received SSI as she was born with a handicap, but (sm)
I believe it did go by what you made. I was a single parent at the time. Are there any associations maybe that are affiliated with your son's illness who might be able to point you in the right direction. Maybe help with prescriptions, if he takes any? I really feel for you, I know it's rough.
Johnson was prez when I was born Casey (sm)
Bless your heart  for still MTing after all these years.......
  
I live in the south.
I was raised to be prejudiced. As I became an adult I learned better. Now I have mixed children on both sides of my family. I really hurts me to see these children, who I love dearly mistreated. Although the crime in the Holloway case may be a racial issue, I do not see that the media sensation is. She was an American tourist in a foreign country. People are interested. That sells newspapers, magazines and time on TV news. That says a lot about the American people. Missing children and teenagers in the U.S. are, for lack of a better term, "old news". Not to say that a parent of a poor missing child in this country is not just as devastated, I am saying that this is the way we have become.
South Florida, been there
eight years, IC until this May, now Employee
have you ever lived in the south?
If not, then don't make negative comments about people you know nothing about.
I did South Beach also -
and lost the tummy area first. I was absolutely amazed how I was never hungry and didn't crave chips, ice cream and chocolate! I found it time consuming preparing the meals, but the results were worth it.
Goin South
That line was the funniest in the movie! (That and "Where's my bride?!" when he meets the 80-year-old who saved him from hanging.) Now I have to get out my old VHS tape & watch it again! LOL
Transcription South Inc
All these days I was told that TSI is a "do not outsource company" but I was shocked to find this claim on the net by an unknown Indian company in their site "SSAPL, parent company of ISPL has recently acquired Transcription South Inc.(TSI), in Florida which is now a sister concern of ISPL and has been serving hospitals from Tallahassee to Miami for over twenty five years." (infovisionsoftware.net) Can anybody shed some light on it
Do you either live in the south or
where brought up the south?
Transcription South
I worked for them 6 years ago. The owners are nice people. The wife is a MT. They were partners with Dictaphone at the time and had some problems with the work and the relationship with them and did not have enough work, so I went elsewhere. Don't know what they are like to work for now, but the owners are really nice people.
It is pointing south, but ...
it has to be aimed directly at a particular satellite. There is evidently an arc of them to the south, but we are aimed at one that one of the techs admitted they were having problems with.
I am a little south of Atlanta
probably about 20 miles or so, used to live right in Atlanta but the living where I am very, very reasonable now. What part of NC to be so expensive?
