Huh?

[NoahL]

Am I getting this right? YQN is turning into a Message Singles Network? :D :p lol

[editor]

QUIET YOU! Talk like that is going to get me blasted from every pulpit in the land:eek: ... lol

Ahem, let me clarify. The relationship forums are a place to talk about relationships. The Guy/Girl forum is no more a place to meet your special someone than the "Family" forum is to find a new family if you're an orphan.

So, in any of the relationship forums feel free to try to work out the complexities of relationships with other members, ask for advice and how your peers handled similar situations, or just generally vent.

Of course, the survival of this forum or any other forum is depedant on popularity and content. If no one uses it or it is continually misused, we'll have to shut it down.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Editor,
JC

P.S. Of course, if you just happen to meet your special someone here, I can't stop that... but please, no threads titled "Blonde & Blue" or "Long Hair & Lonely."

[hollikins84]

So, I can come on here and vent about what a lazy housewife I am? LOL. I know what you mean. :p Anyway, I guess I am rather on the lazy side... Wait, why am I saying this?? LOL!!!

Can I compliment myself? would that count? :D

[Christian-Samurai]

Hey Samurai your a pretty good looking guy. and man you are soooooo talented, look at all that great artwork on your site. Just how do you do it. HEH see Guys can make compliments.

[collegegirl]

Wouldn't that be called "stuck on yourself"? LOL

[Christian-Samurai]

Nah, I would just call it being happy with the way God made me. :D Arent you?

[collegegirl]

I would have to say that since God made me, I must be perfect. I just don't always see myself as He sees me.

[Christian-Samurai]

LOL I guess thats just what makes me special :D

[collegegirl]

You have got to share your secret with us Brother.

[Christian-Samurai]

You'll have to ask my mother, she built me with spare parts laying around in her garage :D

[blessed]

Ha ha ha now that explains alot thank u for the vital information

[Christian-Samurai]

Hey its true ;) and I always try to be as helpful as possible :D glad I could explain it so well to you

[collegegirl]

Have you ever heard what boys are made of?

Snakes and snails, and puppydog tails...

I guess you would be grease and nails, and old tin pails...LOL :p

[collegegirl]

Snoops, you're studly enough that you don't need to be posting any classified adds :p

BTW, umm....do you guys even know what a stud is?

[JoeC]

BTW, umm....do you guys even know what a stud is?

1.
A.) A group of animals, especially horses, kept for breeding.
B.) A male animal, such as a stallion, that is kept for breeding.
C.) A stable or farm where these animals are kept.

2. Slang
A.) A man regarded as virile and sexually active.
B.) A man regarded as attractive.

3. Games. Stud poker.

Here, we are referring to usage 2(b).

[blessed]

Interesting description.... now who was described as studly

[collegegirl]

snoopy was, and I just wanted to clarify that way you guys knew what the word meant. I don't use the word any more except for horses, (we live in horse country), because I knew what the bad connotation was, and I didn't want to be taken the wrong way. I knew you guys were using it correctly, but you know that the Bible says to "obstain from all appearances of evil".

[JoeC]

Yeah, I when I first heard the word, I looked it up. When I found out what it could mean, I stayed away from it, but then the guys at church started using it in the right way - so I did too :D . I've never mmet anyone who took me wrong, and until I do, I'll probably still sprinkle my vocabulary with it.

Truth be known, if we canceled every word out of our vocab that has a bad connotation, we wouldn't have much left. Our culture is so sexualized. :mad:

[collegegirl]

I know, and I hate that. I don't like the way that they can take something good, or something normal, and turn it bad, but then again, there is the influence of satan, where he takes the good and perverts it. What can we say, we are living in satan's eden.

[blessed]

That's true collegegirl we are living in satan's eden. I long to be on the other side where there is no sin, but i take courage there is a purpose that i am here and as the song said "We're going home in the morning" and"Soon and very soon we are going to see the King oh Soon and very soon we are going to see the King"

Lord Bless u all i hope one day i'll get to meet u all if not here definetly on the other side make sure to look for me i will be singing "Amazing Grace" very loudly cause its by His amazing grace why i am here today.

God richly Bless u till we meet

[collegegirl]

Whether we hear you singing or not, we will all eventually meet someday, because we have eternity to spend together. Then, because we can all sing perfectly, we will harmonize with you, because that is the song of every Christian.

[Christian-Samurai]

Well I do my part, I do believe the bible says make a joyful noise unto the Lord, and I got the noise part covered :D and I am the song leader at our church lol :(

[collegegirl]

I know what you mean. I am the piano player at our church. :musicians Sorry, there weren't any others. Do you happen to play an instrument?

[blessed]

WEll i play the piano, well sort of :) , im learning but there really isint anyone to play on Sunday evenings so that leaves me most of the time. i think im coming along ok. But i still have some awful times.

Your church must be really noisy on Sundays :D

[collegegirl]

Actually... :D

No, sometimes it is hard to get the people to even clap in time to the songs, (but then again, over half of the church is family, and you know that when you make a mistake, or try to get them involved, you know that you have a very supportive/eager group (NOT)).

When I first started playing for the church about a year ago, I wasn't all that good, but I know that I have improved. You will too.

[blessed]

Lets hope so, sometimes i get discouraged, what would make it a lot easier is if the ppl will clap and sing the song the way it is supposed to be done and actually listen to the music and not do their own thing.

But i know the Lord has been helping me and he will continue to help me.

[Christian-Samurai]

We all have to start some place and we dont all start off as mozzart :D Just have to keep in there and let God lead our music.

[collegegirl]

Sometimes I wish that I could have started out as Mozart. He has incredable music. Definately a God given talent.

[Unregistered]

i just started palying the piano at our church
and my father in law plays the guitar, he's good
but some time we just cant get it together lol
he'll be playing the song the way he knows it and i'll
be playing it the way i know and its like arggg

[blessed]

i know what that is like guest, Two sundays ago, one of the guitarist came to the evening service and boy oh boy he playing one thing and i trying to keep up , its much easier when i play alone than playing with someone else who is a pro

[Christian-Samurai]

MY brother is trying to learn the guitar and he is the only music we have. LOL its interesting since I am the song leader, I have to let him get the song started because he will get lost otherwise. My mom tries to keep him in step when he plays with her tambourine. Sometimes it works sometimes it dont. Mom wants me to try to learn the piano, she figures my two younger brothers didnt like it maybe I will lol.

[collegegirl]

Why not? You just might like it, though it will be kindof hard to lead songs and play the piano at the same time. LOL :D I have a hard time singing and playing at the same time, because I will lose my place, or I will mess up, though I am getting better. But I think everyone should learn to play an instrument. When you can play the piano, you can also play the harpsicord, the organ, and a bunch of others, because they are all in the same instrument family. The next instrument I would like to learn would be the harp. I am trying to get one. I absolutely LOVE them. :)

[Christian-Samurai]

maybe but i think i will wait till we get past the guitar learning part then they can focus all on my mistakes and not both together although i could alway blame him and say he is makeing me mess up hmmmm lol :D

[collegegirl]

Hey! :hey!: I am a musician too! But I can honestly say, I cause about 1/2 of all my mistakes in playing, (usually it is when I am not paying attention,:headphone LOL), and the other half is the other's fault. :bigsmile:

[Christian-Samurai]

Hey I do Graphic Art and you do music art so :P we each have our own thing. Just Cause I am pretty good at most of the things I do is because God has given me this gift, it doesnt mean he has given me the gift of music so maybe that is yours :D

[blessed]

The thing about it is i really like the piano im learning to play on my own by ear somtimes its perfect and then other times its arrrggggg..... But i have a great desire in my heart to learn to play it and the Lord has been blessing me in that i am able to pick the songs correctly.:)

Some ppl in church even commented on my improvement i just ask the Lord to help me b4 i play and he does. I wonder if that is my calling, my other great desire is to learn to sing well... that one is not going as well as the piano thing :)

bye bye :greetings

[Christian-Samurai]

Well we cant always win them all heh

[collegegirl]

Tell me about it. There are several things I would like to be able to do, but I just can't. (Then again, there are thinks I wouldn't like to be able to do, but can.) LOL :rolleyes:

[blessed]

Seems to me there are a lot of things that i don't want to do but can do it and what i would like to do can't do it .

Hmm i wonder why is that

[collegegirl]

Well, it helps build character. It gives us goals to work toward, and gives us things to overcome. Don't you think it would be a boring world if we could do all that we wanted to do? :D

[Christian-Samurai]

Character building is fun and intersting sometimes lol i built mine with legos :D

[collegegirl]

The big ones or little ones? LOL Did you have the people and accessories? :D (reliving my childhood here) LOL

[Christian-Samurai]

my brother was more of the lego nut than i was, i would just build something cool but he built something he liked then added onto it untill it was a soild mass of nothing :D

[collegegirl]

We would get sets, and then end up combining them, so we had literally thousands of legos. We had some horses, and we had cool doors and windows that opened and shut, and gates and fences, and lights and bags and hats, etc. We would have a blast!!!

[blessed]

Character building is fun and intersting sometimes lol i built mine with legos :D

I not sure i understand this post u built ur character on legos:D

[Christian-Samurai]

NO i built it on christ but I used legos LOL i am just kidding anyway so :harhar1:

[blessed]

:tongue: :tongue: :tongue: to you too

[Christian-Samurai]

:thumbup: :harhar1: :thumbup: do you also :D

[blessed]

NO i built it on christ but I used legos LOL i am just kidding anyway so :harhar1:

u made me do it :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

[Christian-Samurai]

I think you did it all on your own so there

[blessed]

is there a pouting smiley

[collegegirl]

We need some really good smileys. Please tell me how to make them, so that I can help fulfill the needs of the people.

[blessed]

where are the instructions on how to make the smileys

[HotShot53]

I have some cool smilies I use in MSN chats... and that you can use on my xanga comments... any way of submitting them here so we can use them on the forum?

[Christian-Samurai]

if you find a smile you like you can submit it to Joe

[collegegirl]

Please teach me how to make them.

[Christian-Samurai]

well first you need a graphics program, if you are just wanting to make a plain non animated one then photo shop or paint shop pro will work fine :)

[collegegirl]

I think that we have like 5 different types of photoshop. :rolleyes:

[HotShot53]

And how do we submit them to Joe?

[JoeC]

Just send it to my email

[Christian-Samurai]

lol there is only one type it is photoshop now there are different versions as per updates but they all basicly do the same thing just new things being added with the updates :)

[blessed]

lol lol lol

[Blood Washed Bride]

:peep:

Has anyone noticed that the actual topics of conversation don't follow the topic headings? After reading the first couple pages I forgot what the thread was supposed to be about.
Anyway... :greetings Hello, all. I'm Josiah's sister and he's been bugging me to get on here for awhile. Then HotShot and CollegeGirl jumped on the bandwagon. Too much pressure! So, yeah... here I am. :)

[HotShot53]

Lol, don't worry, you'll quickly get used to the threads wandering far off the topic...

And welcome to the boards :) Btw, there is a whole section on the boards to make your introductory post... hiding it in here doesn't work as well ;)

[Christian-Samurai]

yeah no hiding and yes welcome and yes thats pretty much how most of the posts go here which is great cause it makes it more personal

[NeedGod]

uuh, this was something about singles at the start huh? :think:
oh well, people stray. it is a good thing as that means they are interested in what the other is saying. got to run. will post more tommorow. thanks samurai and ruth for a good welcome. oops, i strayed from the topic again.

[Christian-Samurai]

your welcome sis and glad to have ya

[Babyruth]

Same from me. Don't worry if you stray from the topic, no one talks about the same thing the whole time anyways. It's just like a conversation, just sometimes staggered.

[NeedGod]

you mean most times Ruth dont you. still, it is like when a preacher goes to preach and ends up preaching entirely different from what he prepared. it is just God leading. one has no choice. maybe when we stray, we help uplift someones spirit or even give them joy. who knows.

[collegegirl]

Well, like someone said elsewhere, the threads are conversations, individual conversations, just like we are talking in person....

[NeedGod]

exactly college girl, exactly

[marichino_freedom]

it always makes me feel really good and blessed to talk to all of you

[Jeni]

hmm. look i'm posting. woo. go me.

i feel completely off in this whole posting message board thing.

[NeedGod]

oh no, jeni cheated. she posted to say she was posting. mhhh, that should be illegal or sth. :think:

[morning_mist]

i think Jeni is just learning the ropes still.......am pretty sure soon....she will be one of the top postmasters in the forum :yay: :yay: :yay:

[HotShot53]

I don't know... she is taking a day or two off after she started posting again, she's not going to get to the top doing that ;)

[Jeni]

like i can be on here constantly posting!?!? SHEESH!!! : P

there's things to do, places to see, people to annoy...my schedule is packed!

I've done this whole forum thing before...waaaaaay back when it was in its infancy. Pirch had pretty much dissolved...and Ian set up I.M.Y (International Message Youth) it lasted for at least a year or two...but we didn't have the constant posting like u do here. it worked nicely tho...cuz u didn't get left in the dust.

but ah the stories I could tell...

-begins to feel old-

why when I was your age...

[JoeC]

well, if you decide to leave us oldtimer - make sure you give us a few tips on how to make the forum better :)

[NeedGod]

leaving. you bet she wont be doing that soon joe. she loves it here. and good thing is if you are left in the dust here, you just take a shower and you are clean in the conversation again as if you never left. ha, i love it here.

[Jeni]

LOL

u WANT me to leave dontchya joe? eh? eh?

could that be...because...I have stories??? HMMM!!!!!!!?????????


yaaah thats what i thought....

-evil grin- "i aint goin nowhere nohow"

[HotShot53]

Lol, but having the stories is no good, Jen... you have to post some of them ;)

[morning_mist]

maybe she is just biding her time...looking for that momentum...and then once she had it....there is no stopping her :horseman:

[Jeni]

you have no idea. : )

there is a time for everything.

i must choose wisely the precise moment to post my stories. : )

[JoeC]

As I said, our friendship is built on trust. I know that whatever you do, you won't break that trust. God bless!

[Jeni]

do u SEE how he works people???? do you!?!?

[NoahL]

He's reminding you of the morals you're supposed to have... Gosh Joe, how terribly inconsiderate of you. :harhar1:

[NeedGod]

aahh, joe you spoil sport you. now you are making her think twice. pooh.

[blessed]

no fair joe :ranting:

[NeedGod]

yeah, tell him blessed. make him stop.
