  1. Many swam around to the Spanish territory, not everyone crossed the land border. That's why some drowned.
  2. I read some of the reviews and they said it's full of violence, which is to be expected, so no, I won't be watching it.
  3. I think that's the point: hope. We have a hope that's alive and real, something Jehovah gave us that we can believe and trust in. It's not confidence exactly, it's the knowledge that we can make it through because Jehovah wants us to make it through. That doesn't mean we don't worry sometimes about failing him, in fact we'd be silly if we were overconfident (look at what happened to Peter!), but it is all about the fact that he will help us because he says he will. It's about faith.
  4. We've just received our order for those who want a physical copy.
  5. That is interesting. Do you have a source for this? I'd like to read it because the topic of Neanderthal DNA came up on the cart just last week.
  6. Listen to the owls under the stars, sounds wonderful!
  7. Sit under that fig tree I've been promised and catch my breath! 😂
  8. I wasn't talking about "blind faith", just a reasonable stretch of reports over the various sources of all different political bias and persuasion, and including a government investigation. So if all of them are saying it happened this way, it probably did. I do take everything with a pinch of salt, as they say, but I'm also not of the opinion that you can't believe anything, as most conspiracy theorists will say. But I'm not prepared to argue the point.
  9. By reputable I mean the mainstream media. I don't mean conspiracy theory sites. Of course nothing can be completely trusted in today's world, but if across the NYT, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, and the various other usual outlets, all are reporting the exact same thing, you can be reasonably sure it's correct.
  10. All the reputable sources in the media internationally are reporting the same thing.
  11. Oh my goodness! I had the cutest little hamster when I was growing up, and my kids had guinea pigs. I would be horrified to feed a living creature to a python or anything else! I know that's what they eat, but I couldn't do it! Nor could I watch anyone else do it! Nothing to do with the blood issue on the thread of course, just my own reaction 🥴 Note to self - never keep a snake!
  12. I was very disconcerted the other day when in the middle of a phone call, Gemini suddenly piped up: "are you talking to me?"! Err no! Especially since I've never used it. Ever. My phone is obviously paying more attention to me than I would like! Stalker! 😂😂😂😂😂
  13. For me it was the little blue book "The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life" 🥰
  14. I grew up on Polish pickles, nothing like them in my opinion 😂
  15. What great points! I think of it, not as rejoicing over the deaths of those people, but more as a deep gratitude for the removal of the wicked, and as the song says..."peace at last"!
  16. Hookah pipes were, and in some places still are, originally used for smoking opium. Sometimes tobacco was mixed with opium. The connotations associated with that would keep me away. Even if I had no intention of participating, what would it look like to others?
  17. My goodness, that's a worrying prospect, AI developing its own criteria over and above human instructions.... science fiction coming true! Quite an eye opener! 😂
  18. I always think of what Jehovah told Gideon - "go with what you have". He wasn't told to try and rustle up what he didn't have.
  19. Good coffee while manning the cart is wonderful too! ☕😂
