  1. Like anyone is going to watch a game between the Chargers and the Raiders. I guess the Raider and Charger faithful will but few others. Ben Raines
  2. They do look awfully young. Oh wait I just turned 55. I remember when I left on my mission, I think. It was some time after the Korean War or Vietnam. Oh well. Ben Raines
  3. Place of worship not a buffet. Ben Raines
  4. We didn't have color tv until I moved out of the house. Pam didn't have radio until she was married. Microwave oven? More than three channels on tv? Back in the good ole days. Ben Raines
  5. Please explain how this is worse than a George Bush bobble head doll. Ben Raines
  6. Well folks I spend the better part of most Sundays in church, doing my best to magnify my callings and be the person I should be. I do that the other six days of the week in my daily living and in my business life. I also try to be a follower of Christ here at LDS.net. This is the only forum or board that I frequent. So how would I be classified. I am both a Chapel Mormon and an Internet Mormon. Hmm is that possible? Oh well it doesn't bother me one way or another so I will leave it up to you all to decide. Ben Raines
  7. PC, I agree. Too many put such extra value on this life than the being born and gaining a body. Taken early or living to an old age should not matter but how that life is lived. Perhaps they made an error based on greed. God took their lives. Scripture does not say that he took their reward. They will be resurrected and judged according to their faith. We are human and are not the judge. Ben Raines
  8. I like the seefood program. See food, eat food. Ben Raines
  9. Anyone care to guess how long they lived in the Garden before partaking of the fruit? Ben Raines
  10. Didn't I read that the same nature that we have in this life goes with us to the next? If you like smoking you will still have that desire, if you were a jerk you will still be a jerk, if you were selfish you would still be selfish. Death and passing over to the other side does not make all believers. Ben Raines
  11. Article I read said they supply to Hershey's. Ben Raines
  12. What was that address? Are they regulars? Ben Raines
  13. How about OLD or Old Fashioned? Oh wait I like being old fashioned just not called old. :) Ben Raines
  14. You know, and ahhhh, First and Foremost. I also agree with the 150%. Impossible for someone to give more than 100%. Ben Raines
  15. beefche, is that from the first of the month until the end of the month and then all over again? Ben Raines
  16. Way too much. Barf. I am sick of it. Ben Raines
  17. Saving energy costs us? Isn't that a contradiction? :) Ben Raines
  18. Mortal death is the only way back to Heavenly Father. It is through death and ultimately resurrection that we are able to return. That same argument would have us questioning God with cancer deaths, other severe types of death, etc. I do not believe that he pulls strings over our lives. Ben Raines
  19. We could discuss the wieners-San Diego Chargers. :) Ben Raines
  20. Honestly I could care less what Michael Jackson's religion was. The tragic story is not of his death but of how he was marketed since he was 4 years old. Didn't we abolish slavery? He was enslaved as a child by those he should have been able to depend on. Ben Raines
  21. Ah so it is sour grapes that JBS has been eating since 1996. :) Ben Raines
  22. Not sure hot dog eating is a sport but it is a competition. They are competing to see who eats the most. Pie eating, even a three legged race is a competition but a sport? I don't know. Ben Raines
  23. Oh I see JB is a Later. Well I have been a Laker's fan since the days of Gail Goodrich, Jerry West and the bunch. They are an amazing team and organization and now with Ron Artest they will be even better. Unstoppable. Good luck the rest of the league. I think it is Jerry Buss the one with all the money, Nicholson is just window dressing. Go Lakers. Ben Raines
  24. Ok time for a little bragging here. All three of my girls learned to fish from me and love doing it. Their favorite dates were to have a guy take them fishing. One of my daughters knows how to change her own flat tire. One of my daughters more about the workings of a interna combustion engine that a lot of guys. My son can change the car oil, fix a flat, his favorite wrench is his multi-tool. He too loves to fish. I have seen more softball games, softball tournaments, marching band performances, plays, music performances, wrestling tournaments, rugby scrums, etc. than I ever thought possible and I loved every minute of it. It saddened me when my daughter decided not to play softball in college. I have loved every minute and never thought that I missed a tv program or time to myself. I chose to bring them in to this world and it has been my responsibility to make sure they knew they were loved and important. Ben Raines
  25. Not sure I would want to be sealed to someone who did not want to be with me. Just my opinion. Ben Raines
