I hate to break it to you Preston but original Christianity condemmed homosexuality, till a bunch of priests came together and hypocritically decided to rewrite the rules to be more 'in with the times'. In the views held by most people today, that'd be a good thing but not sticking to your principles is a BAD thing!
P.S, do I sound baised? Cuz I'm NOT. Just pointing out how hypocritical most religions are.

I never mentioned "original Christianity" so it is irrelevant. I only wrote about some contemporary Christian churches and biblical quotes of Jesus.
Thanks for helping me clarify that.
What a crying shame it is that football (soccer) can't get any gayer than this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&...

This is the link TLAgay used for a "reason to buy" What's A Boy Supposed to Do ;-))
Roger wrote: "This is the link TLAgay used for a "reason top buy" What's A Boy Supposed to Do ;-))"I must complain that Roger didn't give out much information about What's A Boy Supposed to Do. Which of course is about world football (soccer) athletes who fall in love. Part of the blurb says,
"Billy Logan, star striker for the British Premier League football club, has everything a young man could want—except a life. And then handsome Spanish top-club player Adriano Márquez is signed to Stockborough and Billy’s life is turned upside down and every way around. It’s love at first sight, and amazingly it turns out to be the same for Adriano."of course it is more complex than that because it involves a jealous crazy guy, duct tape, explosives and let's not forget soccer balls.
So I guess football/soccer can get get gayer than the video…thanks to Roger.
And Don't forget about poor Padington...I must complain that I've been having fun at a SF con and had no time to play in the Complaint Department this weekend. Talk to you guys later! :-)

I must regretfully inform that Lori will soon be suffering from PCD (Post Con Depression): The feeling that you did not get to have as much fun as you wanted to while attending a convention and now that it is over you wish you could do it all over again - but you cannot.
Lori wrote: "You speak truly."I regret to inform you that there is no known cure for PCD. :(
Treatments: Attend another Con ASAP or complain your posterior anatomy off at the Complaint Department.
I am complaining that only 24 people voted in the "Who is your favorite singer" Poll.Right now the standings are:
Pink (write-in) 4 votes
David Bowie 3 votes
Freddie Mercury 2 votes

Sorry Preston, I didn't mean to offend! I just find religion endlessly fascinating, especially the way they change over the ages. Bit of a freako about it here. Sorry! :(

I need to complain that I must be slipping. I had no idea who Rufus Wainwright was. :PHe's really good but I'm staying with my favorite...Pink! :-D
I want to moan that I'm back home from sunny Portugal, and it's all grey and gloomy here. I'm also horrified at the number of emails and snailmails that have accumulated in two weeks. It's not right that I should need another vacation t get over the shock of being back…
I want to moan right along with Roger. I need a vacation to get over being back from my vacation, I'm still not caught up but then according to Preston part of me is still on vacation. :P
I'm kvetching it was horrific to go two weeks without having Roger at a proper keyboard so he could hang out with us in the Complaint Department.Welcome back~!
I regret Pat Robertson is at it again. Now he's saying gay men who are HIV+ are infecting straight men by shaking hands while wearing a ring that punctures and infects their victims with the HIV virus. See: Andeson Cooper's Ridiculist at

Roger wrote: "It's not right that I should need another vacation t get over the shock of being back..."I don't think it's right that Roger suffers from PVD (Post Vacation Depression). It's just not fair.
Monika wrote: "I want to moan right along with Roger. I need a vacation to get over being back from my vacation, I'm still not caught up but then according to Preston part of me is still on vacation. :P"Clearly what this group lacks is a place to complain about having to take vacations, because we all just want to take a vacation from taking our vacations.
Can I complain that Pat Robertson is still able to speak in public? Wait does that mean I want to take away his right to speech? I hate having to stand up for an idiot's right to speak, even when he's spewing such ignorant hateful garbage. Pat Robertson is BFFs with Satan!
(OK now I feel better)
I must complain that due to work (it's the end of the month), I've been too busy to play in the Complaint Department. I further grouse that by not playing in the various fun threads, that I'm missing interacting with all of you fun people. Bah.Pat Robertson and his 700 Club are still showing up nightly on ABC-Family and he's as scary a figure as he was when I was a child. A true ogre/boogeyman who actually exists. Only now when he talks he coughs a lot. I keep waiting for the proverbial lung to show up ...
Vacations are over rated. All you want to do when you get back from one is to have another. Not very productive y'know.
I want to complain that work has been keeping Lori too busy to come out and play :(Hurry back Lori!
Pat Robertson *disgusted and angry look* enough said!
More complaining.....I'm already planning my next vacation, I really am a glutton for punishment!

I need to complain about not being able to sleep, which in turn makes me more sensitive. So when Boyd told me the rules again it hurt my feelings :'(

I'm besnickered to hear from a reader in another group that reading Gregory's Story in ePub on Aldiko reader on a Nexus 10, the maps don't appear. In case anyone else suffers the problem, I post the four maps below. Right-click for a larger image, and download them if you like!

NO! It's still out of stock on Amazon.ca I know I can probably get it from Amazon.com but I have free shipping from amazon.ca
Hubby just told me about a possible move for us. Hmmm...do I want to go from S. Texas (HOT weather) to North Dakota, along the Canadian border (Freakin' cold weather)? I'm on the fence on this one:( He tells me it will be even more rural and no station for him. I'm not sure how that works for his job but I guess we would find out if it happens. Bad news is the kids and my grandbaby are here! Grandbaby is growing up fast. 1st birthday is this month:(

I'm appalled that Amazon.ca could be so cruel as to make Monika shudder and tear up. You must moan loudly.@ Lori. How dare KDP make my maps clickable!
I'm hot under the collar that Amazon.ca is being so cruel! I've tried moaning loudly and it isn't working, they still don't have it and no date as to when they might!
Goodreads has been unable to email me since August 31 because my email is "unverified"—all of which is a lie. Not only is it verified they sent me this week's digest of nice books to read, although no more notifications of any posts. Grrrrrr

I want to complain about being, erm, hungry is the best term I can come up with, for a certain type of story and being frustrated when I can't sate such hunger. It's annoying. Sigh.
Long day, so I'm too tired to fool with the strikeout fonts and italics to create some pizazz. I is all zazzed out. >sigh<So, in keeping with the requirements imposed from on high:
I hereby whimper, whine, moan and complain that I now have my first-ever blog. (If I've already told you this, and you haven't paid attention...and you couldn't have because there was no sudden influx of a veritable horde of viewers...so sorry.)
Here's where you can find it:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Updates on story progress, eventually some notes on my reviewing standards (for once I start reviewing more), teasers, etc., etc. You know, just more Eric whine and wit (attempted).
Horde on over folks, and sit a spell.
