Re: My intro

Especially with a name that no one can pronounce. If you're lucky the pastors will choose a more appropriate American name for you.

Re: My intro

I introduced myself. You could see my name on the page, and I said hello. You don't want an intro, you want a mini-bio.

So if I was walking down your street and knocked on the door of your house and said "Hi. It's me" you would welcome me in and treat me kindly? Maybe give me a cup of coffee and a meal. Without even knowing who I was and what I believed? Not even revealing my gender until a few hours into the conversation.

Somehow I doubt that.

But you think you can stroll into Landover's cyber dwelling, wander in without an invite and then introduce yourself in three words only and wonder why folk here think you have been disrespectful.

Think about it.

Re: My intro

What church do you belong to?

none

Are you married?

yes

How many soldiers for Christ has your wife had?

I am a straight female, so I don't have a wife. We got married after I had reached menopause. And since he has never had any desire to be a parent, it worked out nicely that way.

What is your favourite scripture?

If there are no dogs in heaven, I want to go where they went. (Will Rogers)

Or do you not understand the definition of "introduction"?

Re: My intro

I think he wants to be a eunuch- chop a tool lass is how I have heard it in New Orleans. I guess you are a papist then?

I'm not male, so even if I wanted to be a eunuch, that would be impossible.
I'm also not Catholic.

Re: My intro

It's not the easiest word to wrap your mouth around, which is why I gave you the phonetics. Keep trying, and I'm sure you'll eventually get it.

Somehow, I missed that part.
Touch-up-it-too, lass?
Joop-it-oohlas?

Touch-up-it-tool-us, is that how you say it?

Re: My intro

Actually, I believe the world came into being via the Big Bang.

But I do find various creation myths entertaining.

Re: My intro

No, "me" is English - it's a pronoun used when the speaker/writer is referring to him/herself.

Nice bike you've got there.

No your me was the pronoun referring to the writer.

My me was in inverted commas thus my "me" whilst in English referred in fact to you, the author, which being a titchy-pie-to-lass sounded Greek.

Re: My intro

No, Charli, I'm not gay.
And I have a great deal of admiration and respect for the wise and gentle carpenter-rabbi from Nazareth.

Re: My intro

No, I'm not Aztec; I am part Cherokee.[...]

So basically, THIS is how you believe the world came into existence?

Long, long ago, a great island floated in a giant ocean. This island hung from four thick ropes from the sky, which was solid rock. There were no peoples and it was always dark. The animals could not see so they got the sun and put it in a path that took it across the island from east to west each day. The animals and plants were told by the Great Spirit to stay awake for seven days and seven nights but most could not and slept. Those plants that did stay awake, such as the pine and cedar and those few others were rewarded by being allowed to remain green all year. All the others were made to lose their leaves each winter. Those animals that did stay awake, such as the owl and the mountain lion and those few others were rewarded with the ability to go about in the dark. Then the people appeared.

"Then people appeared"???? Is that it???? No wonder you never invented the wheel.

No, I'm not Aztec; I am part Cherokee.
Tchoupitoulas is the name of a band of Mardi Gras Indians - musicians who dress up in breechcloths and feathers and dance through the streets of New Orleans in a Mardi Gras parade.

So you are gay.

We have a gay and lesbo mardi gras in Sydney each year.
Quite disgusting. All that exposed skin. And sweaty bodies!

Do you want to become straight and worship Jesus?

Re: My intro

Am guessing "me" is Greek.

Am sure you can say more than 3 words to introduce yourself.

C'mon try harder next time.
