lol at least I laugh about it. It was one of those "omg this is too rediculous" things

lol I'm sure it's quite far away from where you live. It's a chain of stores that seems to be located only in "the boonies"

Laurel is a known poison, but I don't know the why or wherefor. Only that it should never be eaten. Deer love it though. They nearly destroyed my poor little laurel :cry:

Well it's a proofer oven, the bottom half is. There's water in it to make steam, to rise the bread. It's a gas station that does pizza and deli

So, I get in my car to drive to work, and my car CD player says "bad disk" and spits the CD out at me. (there is absolutely nothing wrong with the disk. I put it back in and it plays fine.) I stop at an intersection, and a guy is spackling overhead, there is white fluffy stuff falling down and it appears to be snowing in the intersection in the middle of summer. Is this an omen for the rest of my day? I get to work, and I cannot get the pricing gun to work, it somehow gets the tape of little stickers wrapped back inside. I try to bag rolls, and every time I turn around, someone is standing at my register. NOW, there is another register, and a cashier at it. I am clearly busy. But they have to stand patiently at my register, expecting me to stop what I'm doing and come over. I went through about 20 pairs of gloves trying to bag those stupid rolls. THEN, I'm trying to make a hawiian pizza, and I can't find the container. I have to get it out of the sink and wash it. Then I have to track down the pineapple and something to put it in. When I get the can opener to work, and try to put the pineapple in the container, what do I do but tip the container and dump pineapple down all over my new leather shoes, the front of the refridgerator, and the counter? I am trying to make a hoagie for someone and have to track down a knife, also in the sink. Then I'm making another pizza, because we have suddenly sold out of both pepperoni and cheese pizza. So I don't even get the dough spread out, before I hear a crash behind me. I turn around, and the Pringles display has taken a nosedive, there are cans of Pringles ALL OVER the floor. So I leave my pizza and pick them up. A nice lady who is in the store every day helps my coworker pick up the cans, and I get back to my pizza. (some smart person has set the tower of cans on top of the empty box without even taping the box. As you can imagine, the flaps simply folded in.) The next thing I know, the bucket under the drink thingy, (it's a big basin full of ice and bottles of ice tea, with a tube to drain) is overflowing. All over the floor. Oy vey. So I have to clean that up to. I swear, that thing is the worlds worst invention. Oh yea, I forgot to mention, when I started my shift there was water coming out of the oven. Don't ask.

Oh thanks! I made it from a fractal. Could not resist using my new fonts I am addicted to fonts. I don't want to kill anyone, either. I don't really care about money all that much, if I have it great, if I'm not rich, I can survive.

I'm also under the impression that the Lorica Segmentata was a purely Roman invention. That's what made the Romans so formiddable, they could take something from another culture, improve upon it and make it uniquely theres. If they saw a weapon or armor design which was practical, they took it, improved upon it, and then used it to defeat it those who originally used it

No worries PP, we are prepared! We shall defend you from any wayward Triumvirs striving only for personal gain

I've been noticing some new emoticons gracing posts on UNRV. I LOVE THESE! :drunk: :horse: :hang: :tomato: :shutup: :sadwalk: :crutch:

I read Under the Eagle, and I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. I have the next two in the series but have not yet read them.

I think its like $3.99. Or maybe $2.99 I can't remember exactly.

A wonderfully moving (and informative) document. Thanks for posting it! It really shows the new leaders' respect for Caesar.

The topic was about when/how did goddess worship stop, and switch over to the worship of male dieties and a patriarchal society. Yes, my post probably was a little off of the original topic. I was replying to FVC. My point, (which I didn't make clear at 4:30 AM ) was that people worshipped things in nature originally, many of which were percieved as life giving and female ("Mother Earth" for instance). Later it seems some of the more abstract concepts (such as war) were personified by males. Sorry for the confusion lol, I must remember to avoid trying to sound intelligent before the sun comes up.

wow...that's quite a nifty bit of alliteration!

hehehe walking actually wasn't so bad. And I don't want to marry and divorce billionaires. I mean maybe, if I found one I liked... (but I don't like the idea of divorce unless it needs to be done)

I think most early religions (and aspects of modern religion as well) were born because people didn't understand things. Didn't understand the sun, it must be a wonderous magical thing, and therefore takes on religious significance. If the sun doesn't shine, it is cold and dreary, and it is generally understood that the sun is neccessary for life (at least on some level). The darkness is frightening and not understood, the sun gives protection from that. Therefor, the sun is worshipped as god, or represented by a god. The same thing happens with the moon, with the sea, or the rain, or anything else which wasn't understood.

So, here it is, 10:40 PM and I just got home from work. Mind you, this would not be so bad, however I must be up at 4:30 tommorrow morning so that I can be at work at 6:30. I am also working Sunday morning, at 6 or 6:30 AM. I had switched days with someone so that I would have Sunday off, but the manager decided that since I was a trainee, that wouldn't do. So now I'm back to working Sunday again. Sure, give me some relief from this hellish weekend, then yank it away again! The shift before mine did not stock the cooler, apparently, and it took me twice as long to do it as it should have. Yea...try spending an hour in a refridgerator. What fun THAT is. To top it off, there is a pipe leaking in the office, water all over the floor. The managers know about it, but haven't done anything. Tommorrow there is likely to be a flood. It is REALLY leaking. It will be interesting to see what happens, when we have a small flood in the office. Tommorrow is also a holiday in our little town, (WOO f*ckin HOO! Let's celebrate!) so the place will be so busy, I may not even have time to pee. I may have to walk to work, because they will close off main street and I will not be able to drive home in the afternoon. My mom may drive me, but I'm still going to have to drag my tired ass home on foot. Then be up at 4:30 AM to do it all over again. I had just gotten used to the morning/day shift, and they have switched me to midshift. Which is going to totally throw me off. And this job is killing my skin, my hands are rediculously dry and somehow I keep getting little cuts. Hopefully I won't burn myself on a pizza tray again. To top it off, whatever manner of six or eight legged creature who left the inch diameter welt on the back of my leg, can go directly to Hades. And if it should have trouble along the way, I will be MORE THAN HAPPY to assist in it's passage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Part II Here's the update (thank Gods I woke up in a good mood today and somehow wasn't tired, because otherwise I would have killed someone) 1) someone thought they had gas on pump 4, so it was rung up as $20 on pump 4. It was actually on pump 3. The guy who *actually* had pump 4 thought it must be a mistake, and paid for the $9.75 that was *also* on pump 4. The $20 on pump 3 was accounted for because it actually belonged to the woman, but the $9.75 was not. Apparently, it was paid for however, because there was no short in my drawer at the end of the day. 2) someone dumped probably 25 or 30 $$ worth of gas in the parking lot. (Hard to estimate the amount when it is all over the parking lot/road, but we did not have enough spilldry in the store to clean it up and had to get more from the fire department). 3) a case of glass was dropped in the parking lot 4) a glass bottle was dropped in front of the register 5) someone apparently paid for $20.00 of gas on pump 2, when they actually had $18.02 on 3 or 4. When we would have rung up the $20.00 for the woman who had actually tried to buy it, that amount was not on the register (but she forgot about it). The $18.02 remained unaccounted for, she called as I was finishing my paperwork to say that I had forgotten to ring up her gas, and came back to pay for it. That was when we figured out what actually happened (in short, we thought there were two people stealing gas, but actually it was just confusing) 6) the lottery machine decided to neatly accordion-fold the paper instead of printing a reciept 7) same lottery machine refused to read any tickets put through it, and everything had to be done by hand 8) lottery machine nearly got a little "percussive mantainance" 9) we were rediculously busy all day and barely had time to do anything 10) the guy finally showed up to fix the watery mess in the office So, today wasn't *too bad* all things considered...my drawer came out *really close* (even with over $5000 in sales, in a gas station) and I found a silver dime AND got compliments from my assistant manager, which really mean something to me because I don't think she's the type to be "loose" with her compliments. Tonight I'm going to the "outhouse races" (yes, you heard right) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Update: just got back from the outhouse races, yes I have pictures, will post them later. The senator Rick Santorum actually handed out the trophies, unfortunately I did not get pictures of him.

Actually, I think you're both partly right. There are alot of factors to consider in the evolution of religion.

That is beautiful. but should you really be on the computer during a thunderstorm?

lol I have no idea what grade I got on it now. I have long forgotten

I think alot of it has to do with society at the time. As the social system became male-dominant, the religion changed to reflect that.
