Morning Becks! I'm just about to head off to bed... 11 31pm here in Africa.
Have you ever used one of those exercise balls? I had one when I was pregnant last and I got one for my birthday. So I decided to use it, thinking nothing of it other than it would be fun to use in between cycling/gym sessions. So I did a quick 40 min workout on it and went about my business. That was Monday.. I"m still stiff! Who'd have thought! So this leads me to believe it is an excellent piece of equipment!
Oh and please, please, please.. do the ostrich pic for me.. pretty please, this girl is in need of a humungus belly laugh!

Ah Nicky, my friend. Here, at last, we must part ways of the mind! While in today's view it is considered "acceptable" to use a conjunction to begin a sentence, grammatically it is NOT encouraged. Beginning a sentence with a conjunction tends to lead to one of two things; run-on sentences or short, choppy ones. It is also terribly informal. Now, if your intent is to address an issue with informality, it is acceptable and has reached the point where it is very prevalent in today's writing. The old adage, "Know thy audience" applies in this case.
In the 1600-1700's, it was perfectly acceptable to use a conjunction to begin a sentence. As language developed and people became more aware of education, vocabulary and social status, the use of conjunctions to start sentences was thought to be poor grammar and a lack of proper education. It was also believed that English was inferior to Latin and should be changed. This lead to certain "rules" that really are not necessarily rules at all, but more like positions of thought. While it was noble, in thinking, to adapt to a more "Latin based" form of language, English is actually a decendant of German and so many of the "rules" simply do not "fit" in a technical sense.
The same holds for ending a sentence with a preposition, although that one is far more important in MY mind!! Many times, words thought to be "prepositions" are really an adverbial particle (part of the verb) and, therefore, not really prepositions at all. Verbs can retain much , if not all, of their properties when used in certain contexts.
OK then! I have made my statement on the matter. What is acceptable and what is proper are far different things, depending on whom it is to which you are speaking.....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe, very thoughtful and moving post you wrote there for us. Thanx ! Thinking of you and your close ones, and wishing you the very best 
And Guido,  yes, one can fully standardly start a sentence with "and" :
| 7. |
(used to introduce a sentence, implying continuation) also; then: And then it happened. |
- Dictionary.com
So that sort of wraps it up for the moment as far as my concerns are concerned 
Nicky. |

Happy Wednesday, ladies and gents!!
Looks like I now rule the roost message count-wise. Almost a year's worth of messages taken out and I'm still within the 10,000 posts-range. Children, this is what too much sinning in the Sinful thread (among other things) can do to you.   |

I really don't think it matters one way or another. I mean, "date joined" is far from important. We all know one another and how long we have been here. Perhaps it is a good thing? It might give the new members a little less pressure. I think the real focus should be on how many FRIENDS one has. THAT is an important statistic. That is really where you can judge the value of someone on this site.
I also think the number of "ignores" should be dropped. As I have said many times, ANYONE can click "ignore" but the "friends" button is a very, very selective thing.

Now, what I would like to know is, does that mean all the ignores we got from multi profiles are gone too! HA!!! NO WAY!! It's kind of messed up like so many sites are right now. I suppose we all just need to move on into the cyber future, and forget about it. LOL
Just like life, nobody ever gave us a garrentee.

Hey thats cool man,I've never really been into live albums either,Unleashed In The East to me is the best live album ever even if it was doctored up in the studio or whatnot,I still think its the best live album,I also like Live Evil Black Sabbath 1982 but of course Unleashed is best.But other than that,I really don't care for live albums that much.
I never was grasped by Nostradamus so I'm still in the Angel Of Retribution mode and it feels like its been 5 years since they released anything new to me,so I am really wanting a new album but I think they will be working on it later this year but then again they may do a Nostradamus tour and if that happens,a new album will not be out until 2012 I'm guessing,by then I'll bet you'll be craving some new Judas Priest! lol!

Hey Shawn!!!!! Cool to see you today my friend! Yeah who knows whats up with that changing of date joined? What for? Who knows eah? lol! Hey...a quick question for ya...just your honest opinion but would you want to see Priest do a full Nostradamus tour 2010 or would you rather see them go back to the studio to make another studio album? Just an opinion,you won't be scorned either way,but just was wondering?

We had the funeral yesterday. Was an incredibly hard day for every single person there. The Church was packed and I think there may have even been a seating shortage. As sombre and heartbreaking as the service was, the Pastor said some amazing things and if I can for a minute of your time take a leaf out of his book, he did not preach about 'repenting your sins etc' but rather about living each day to its fullest. Grasp this life with both hands and get stuck right in there. We never ever have tomorrow, we only have today so lets grab it, live it and enjoy every second of it.
If you have a problem with someone in your life, sort it out or cut it free. You just never know. There is so much that I wanted to still say and do with Hymne, those dreams are gone now, forever. What I do have is the most amazing memories of what we had as close friends, when I look at her boys, her parents and her boyfriend, I think of how much I'm hurting (trust me, it is a very deep seering pain) yet it is a fraction compared to what they are going through and I'm gutted by seeing how much they are hurting.
If there is something you have been wanting to do, but keep putting off. Please, do it before it is too late. Never stop dreaming, never stop learning and never ever stop loving life.
I also want to say a huge thank you to the friends here who have been a huge comfort to me in this horrible, horrible time of my life. Bare with me folks.. I'll be back to my 'loose canon' of a Joe soon lol |
