I think I must really be old. I didn't know what GAS was, so I looked it up. Apparently it is Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

I think Rosanne Rosanna Danna defined GAS the best: "if it's not one thing it's another.""

A two state solution was offered in '48. Sometimes people don't take something that in the end turns out to be a good idea. What if Kissinger, during negotiations with the North Vietnamese had come to the table one day and said, "we accept your proposal to divide the country at this point."

You can buy a book of Burma Shave Sign Sayings on Amazon

"Verse by the Side of the Road: The Story of the Burma-Shave Signs and Jingles"

Why buy a book? In a previous post I listed a website that has the various "sayings" listed as they came out by year. You don't need to find my post, just Google Burma Shave signs and you can find it for yourself.

One thing to take into consideration is Israel's history. When attacked in the past it has responded decisively until its foe was vanquished. Others have learned that lesson, you'd think Hamas would have known it. So, put the blame for all of this on Hamas for one for not knowing their history.

No G A S here. Years ago, I purchased some basic fishing gear, then fished rivers, lakes, from shore, from boats, summer, winter, fishing Charter trips, and the ONLY fish I caught was at a Trout pond! Fish laugh at me! I got tired of all the laughing and gave all the equipment away! Never again!

If my son had wanted to go I would have been interested in chartering a boat to go out into the Gulf to go after some good fish like Redfish. If you go in with a couple of other people, the price of a charter can be reasonable, but he wasn't interested.

I think you do well. I quit fishing because I don't like to eat fish. I feel bad catching them just for fun even if you release them.

At least you were able to catch them. We went to Gaston's in Arkansas to catch trout. Never caught one.

G A S is everywhere. Gone are the days when all you needed to play baseball were a bat, a ball and a glove and a uniform for team games. My 14 year old is on a team and now the rage is sliding gloves to mimic the pros. Do you know how much a sliding glove it? 65 bucks. For 65 bucks they could wear oven mitts!!!

In my day we slid feet first.

My wife doesn't like downers. She asked me, "why did the wife have to die?" Although she couldn't tear herself away from it, it wasn't her kind of movie. I thoutht it was a great story.

The thing that Revelation revealed was the paranoia and fear of the authors. Their hatred for God's creation is on full display in this ancient but effective horror story.
I like religion that is loving and forgiving instead of one that predicts eternal torture.

Jesus called Hell a furnace. John called it a Lake of Fire. So, which is it, or is it a metaphor for the burning of the soul for living in eternity apart from God after standing before him in Judgment?

That, srg, is my view of Hell. God is not stoke fires for eternity for torture those in Hell. Revelation DOE teach us, however, that the unsaved WILL, in the end, be judged according to their works. That is not to be confused with salvation.

Steve - "I don't think you realize the size of the October attack as well as the hostages that not only were taken but raped and tortured." This isn't secret news. It was raw barbarism! Everybody gets that.

If you read Revelation you find that Russian and other countries are mentioned, but not the U.S.

I'm talking about now and the next few decades ... Bibi has single-handedly buggered Israel's standing in the world. That was the Hamas simple plan. Bibi had plenty of expert warning from around the world ... "Do Not Overreact! That is the Hamas hope!"

Over react? Israel has been plagued by rockets being fired into its territory for years, as well as other attacks. I don't think you realize the size of the October attack as well as the hostages that not only were taken but raped and tortured. Hamas needs to be either wiped out or surrender. Israel realize that Hamas cannot be allowed to continue to exist even if the rest of the world doesn't realize it.

You haven't noticed the world wide condemnation of Bibi's Z*****t 'over-achieving' in Gaza? He's saddled Israel with decades of 'fear and loathing' and more condemnation.

The attack by Hamas k**led about as many Israelis as American military personnel died at Pearl Harbor. So, I suppose you think that we over-reacted by island hopping on the way to Japan as well, which resulted in the deaths of many, many civilians.

The problem with campus protests is that they will embolden Hamas to dig in and hope that pressure will force Israel to back off. Instead, pressure should be placed on Hamas to surrender, which it should have done since the beginning of the war. Hamas has brought mayhem upon the people whose best interests they are supposed to be serving. Instead, they seem to be serving some jihad instead.

I have a special date.

A milestone to be thankful for. Not all can look back and do so, unfortunately.
