You can "bump" your thread every month or so. This pushes your thread back to the top of the folder instead of languishing here on page 41 where fewer eyes will see it.
Good luck!

If you have more details to add, you can add a new comment anytime. If it's been more than 30 days, you can bump. Many people just type "bump."
Good luck!

I read a short story online somewhere about 2 brothers. One brother was religious and regularly honored his God and performed animal sacrifices, the other brother was lazy and negligent and did not worship that God.
One day when a sacrifice was due the religious brother was feeling a bit under the weather (or some other reason) and seeing his brother wandering around with his sheep, he figured it was fine for him to skip sacrificing an animal that day.
Furious, his God punished him somehow (maybe hit him with lightning or burned his crops idk), but the religious brother asked "Why me, why did you only punish me" because his brother hadn't made a sacrifice on that day either.
His God responded: "Well he doesn't worship me; You do"
and that was the end of that story. That's all i remember and i cant recall what site i read it on or how to find it again.
Please let me know if you can find this short story anywhere. I really would like to read it again or to share it with a friend instead of retelling my botched memory version all the time.
