Wow TOB I am sorry your mom is going through this...and I know its hard to watch as well, been there with my grandmother, who raised me when I was little. I remember seeing her child like legs so tiny, and her so weak. So happy to hear you have your sister, and she has you, your mom is really lucky to have you both.
Morning to you too Nancy, hope all is well. It's a bit cooler today but I still see that blue sky 🙂
p.s. I miss reading you Nikki & Nellie!
Room? You mean thread I assume. Where would anything be 'banned'???? LOL
You can say whatever you want, anywhere you want, in this thread....TS.....or the whole country. That's your right.
However it is equally the right of others not to believe it. So, if someone doesn't believe or accept it ....don't get upset about it. Everyone has 'equal' rights.

Am I still allowed to say this in a Christian room? or is it banned here also?
What is allowed to be said has nothing to do with where it was posted but the interpertation of the mighty gods of live world who look after these boards.

TOB, do you know when Nikki will be back? Hope she is having good weather, I know she was leary on what season of clothing to bring. Hope it all worked out!
Good night TOB, Nancy, Nikki, Marion, Julie, Nellie, Ralph and everybody! Sweet Dreams!
Well I’m not sure who your comments were directed towards Ticky but if you look back at the posts you will find that the whole thing started with Trupti asking a simple question about the association of the fish and Christianity. Benne replied with a link regarding the Christian view and the pre-Christian history as well. I responded with another link of information. Trupti’s question deserved a full and balanced reply, which was done without animosity, or criticism, of any kind. Being as this is an open forum and this thread existing in same context, I see no problem with other opinions and views being expressed as long as they are done in a fair and balanced manner and in reality, eBay owns the whole playing field in which it is stated that ….”The Discussion Boards are your place to get answers to your questions from other eBay users.” I would take this to mean that all participants can reply to another TS member about any question, be it about listings, pet care, flower arranging and even religion. Then in post 3499 Ralph came in, explained his view with no problem but at the end for some reason he had to add in some unfounded concept of “banned”. Where that came from I have no idea because everything seemed to be going along well up until that point.
In your post 3504 in your last sentence you mentioned aggression and bitterness….none that I personally seen in the simple replies to Trupti. As for your request that philosophy be left outside the door, well I would respectively disagree. Philosophy is the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom by intellectual means, investigating the nature, causes, or principles of subject matter by using a critical ‘analysis’ of fundamental assumptions or beliefs. All of this fills the requirement of giving Trupti a factual varied reply to her question.

Canada.

Morning all! Thanks Nancy, thats good news!
It really looked as though we would have rain on/off all day, but already its blue skys and the sun is beaming! I see birds bathing in the sand, there is really no breeze, another wonderful day ahead!
Ticky....to begin with I rarely come in here.
Secondly I was friendly. I and Benne simply answered Trupti's question with a link each. Where is that 'un-friendly'???????????
The un-friendly remark started with the last sentence of post 3499….prior to that, there was NO problem.

No matter what thread you post on you have to word very carefully what you type and then spell check it with a dictionary 3 times.

Hummmmmmm.......Anything you can find eh Ralph. 
So you now base your perceptions on Wikipedia? Rather limited don’t you think? It’s like the swastika….an ancient symbol but those of limited thought only see it from one perspective because they are easily indoctrinated. Pavlov comes to mind.
As you have no doubt read, there are those who would like to return this thread to what they perceive it to be. So why do you keep making comments towards me? If I reply then some will accuse me of something. If I do not reply, you will say I’m ignoring you. Either way it’s a lose, lose proposition for me. But you’ve probably already thought of that.
