Joan, that's funny ("Carnival Hooker").  I never did like the looks of makeup, but Tammy made me look away before I lost my dinner.

So Jim Bakker is back at it, working his con yet again, eh?  "The more things change..."

@ Joan, lol, I know, my 'kids' are 18 and 20 and are really neat people, and my daughter even cringes when she remembers how she was in middle-school (don't we all?!).  I was really taken aback when this 17-year old basically came here and knows more about anything than anyone.  He's not a bad kid, very polite, and even funny, but he will probably cringe when he's older remembering the way he was.  Maybe he won't though! lol

As for the feedback, I'm not going to let one odd person upset me.  I just don't have time for that anymore in my life.  There are so many intelligent people I love to hear about and hear their stories on here.  Thanks for saying I will laugh at the feedback too one day.  You are one of the people that is SO intelligent and interesting.  Loren too, Steph makes me smile she is SO nice to everyone, Idaho Spud, The Flying Atheist, I could go on and on. 

Have a Great weekend!~ Melinda

Idaho Spud, did you ever wonder, did Tammy Faye Baker REALLY think she looked good in all that make-up?  Did NO ONE ever tell her how horrendous it was?  Remember all the skits like on SNL where they'd impersonate her crying and all the black mascara running down her face? ha ha.

Just like no one must have ever told W how to pronounce nuclear.:)

booklover, you wrote, "There are so many intelligent people I love to hear about and hear their stories on here ... Loren too, Steph makes me smile she is SO nice to everyone, Idaho Spud, The Flying Atheist, I could go on and on."

I agree wholeheartedly and the ones you mention are special to me as well. Life is far richer for me because of them.

Yes Joan, I have learned a LOT about Atheism, and about other peoples' live in-general here on AN.  It's so interesting to hear how others were raised, esp. people who were raised in religious homes, since I wasn't.  I love the intelligent opinions, and I esp. love to hear the arguements against religion, so that when I debate someone, I have different resources to use.  Sometimes people are SO extremely  smart I seriously can't even contribute to the conversation, so I just enjoy reading and learning.~ Melinda

@Melinda and Joan.  Humble thanks to both of you for the kind words.  I also enjoy your company here on A/N.  ***Big Group Hug***

booklover, don't sell yourself short. I would include you in the list of intelligent, fun, wise ones. Silence kills! So, comment often and as powerfully as you feel like mustering. 

Several people called me "victim" and I declare just the opposite. I refuse to be silent to those who would dominate and oppress. If that makes me a victim in their eyes, they look in the wrong direction. 

The good news, there are a cloud of witnesses who know and want truth-telling, not sweet, passive, acquiescent, helpless sounds.

Thanks The Flying Atheist!  Yes, Big Group Hug!  You are a really neat person.  I aspire to be more like a lot of people on here.  I do have a bit of a temper ;), and I don't like that about myself.  I guess we are all always a work in progress? Some of you seem to have gotten it right already though!! ~ Melinda

Thank-you for those kind words Joan.  I do think I am intelligent,etc., but I am seriously in awe of some of the people on this forum!  Like I just said in a previous post, I have some work to do on myself, like not having a temper so much!

You are an inspiration, and I sincerely mean that.~ Melinda
