I am not a calvinist I believe in repentance but I think ALL christian woman should dress holy. Meaning covering the chest, butt, and thighs and shoulders. You can still look real cute keeping things covered. I have all kinds of cute dresses. I dress classic but stylish.
I read this on a thread. Does anyone disagree with it?

I mean, is that all there is to it?

I have always liked Asian... Someone asked about how Fang and I met, etc.

I have been visiting Asian dating sites for about five years now. I have always liked Asian culture and foods, and I figured the worst that could come from frequenting such sites would be that I would get a few more online friends. My favorite dating site has always been Cherry Blossoms. The site has a nice chat feature where I can make jokes with friends all over the world, both male and female. Most of the people who hang out in the chat room are lighthearted and it is easy to make them laugh, which is probably the main reason I love to chat there.

A few years ago, I mentioned in the chat room that I want to marry a Chinese woman named Fang (a popular name in China). Even though it's pronounced "Fong" like "song", it makes me think of attack dogs (Maxwell Smart's secret agent dog was named Fang, for example). So I figure that if anyone ever gives me any trouble I can tell them that my wife's name is Fang, and they shouldn't mess with me. I assume the Chinese women wouldn't get the joke, but since that day, I always chuckled to myself every time I saw a profile where the woman's name was Fang.

Then one day I came across this particular Fang's profile. To be perfectly honest, there was nothing about her profile that was particularly interesting. I liked the fact that she used a real photograph instead of a professional photo (most Chinese women use professional and photoshopped pictures). I also liked that she was 47 years old. Most of the men on these sites are looking to meet young women. Not me. But at the time, I thought she was no more attractive than any other Chinese woman, and she listed herself as "agnostic" which pretty much meant that, at best, we could be friends.

But I was feeling funky that day, and her name was enough of a motivator for me to say something to her. So I sent her a quick hello, and mentioned that I just got back from dinner at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant where I and my kids had Pho Bo (beef noodle soup). She told me she knows how to make Pho because her area of China isn't all that far from Vietnam. As Pho is probably my favorite dish, I responded immediately with, "MARRY ME." I think she took me seriously because she responded defensively with, "We should get to know each other first."

At some point we were having enough fun exchanging messages that we exchanged Yahoo addresses and chatted once in a while on Yahoo messenger. Whereas I thought she was average looking in her Cherry Blossom profile photos, I thought she was gorgeous on webcam. I attribute at least part of that to her mannerisms. She is coy and feminine on webcam. She often covers her mouth when laughing. She pulls her hair over to cover her face when I compliment her and make her blush. She looks to the side and up in the air when she laughs, or falls back in her chair. I loved to make her laugh just to watch her enjoy the jokes.

On Yahoo messenger, she types some things in English, but she types more complicated messages in Chinese. I use Google translate and a couple alternatives to read what she says. At first, I translated my text into Chinese for her, but she asked me to use English only so she could learn more English.

Everything she says just oozes love and caring. She sees my kids on webcam and always treats them kindly and with love. She talks about how she wishes she could take care of a husband and children. She makes clothes and works in a shop six days a week, from 2pm to 8pm. On her off-day, she visits a home for the poor and elderly. She mentions her love for the elderly often.

After a while, all I can think about is how this is the kind of woman I had always wanted to meet and marry. Other than being agnostic, she seems too good to be true. But I chat with her friends Dennis and Yan (Dennis is American) and they confirm everything about her. Apparently she's exactly as sweet and loving as she appears to be. I was so confused. Why would God allow this precious woman to be paraded in front of me, tempting me to defy Him? I truly wanted Fang as my wife, and I cannot deny that I was considering this brazen defiance of God very seriously. I have regular bouts of being angry with God lately, which just makes it all the more tempting.

Fang has a 24-yr-old son named Ming. I asked if her son sees his father. He doesn't. That led to the subject of marriage, that is, what marriage should be. Her ex-husband was abusive and a drunk.

Okay, so she's agnostic. Even if marriage isn't a legitimate option for us, I figure I can use this discussion of marriage as an excuse to share a bit of the Bible. So I decided I'd quote the part of Ephesians about the role of the husband. Perhaps the Christian view of how a husband should behave would make an impression upon her, considering what she went through with her ex-husband.

Her English and English translation software is good enough to have a conversation, but I figured it wouldn't handle a Bible passage very well. So I found the passage and copied and pasted the Chinese translation for it from Bible Gateway to Yahoo messenger.

I was totally unprepared for what happened next. She posted as a reply -- in Chinese -- the previous verses about wives submitting to their husbands. Then she held up her Chinese Bible to the camera so I could see it.

My entire life changed at that very moment.

As it turns out, there were several errors in her profile, including her birthday. That's what happens, I guess, when you don't know English very well.

All the clothes are supplied by the photographer. You'll never see my shoes in any of these pictures because I wasn't wearing any. So they covered my feet for every picture. None of the clothes fit me. Their 4XL in China, the largest they carry, is smaller than 2XL in the USA. They are prepared for occasional US fatties, though, with creative solutions like cutting the backs of shirts and cutting other places you won't see. I took a few pics of the "real" me (with the tricks shown) just for fun, but they're not appropriate to show.

Review this Unemployment map of the United States . This is hard to believe! I had to review this map a couple of times to grasp the enormity of it. Displayed this way sure brings the perspective up close and personal. This is scary. If you have a job, be thankful !

The burner replacement kit is 25 bucks, but this time of the year the stores will be tryin' to reduce inventory, allowing me to upgrade to something better. Thinkin' bout the features I might want in a grill, I figured I'd ask some of my FFF outdoor flesh charring friends what they prefer and have to have in a grill. So....


1) What's your grill like (brand, number of burners, btu, creature comforts, etc)? Does it have rotisserie? Infrared?

2) How long have you had it?

3) What type of stuff do you like to BBQ/smoke/grill (burgers, chicken, steak, shrimp, other)?

4) doh!

5) Cost? ]]> The Fighting Forum ALAYMAN http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-fighting-forum/88420-bbq-grill-questions.html HACkerGraf 9/2 http://www.fundamentalforums.com/hyles-anderson-college/88419-hackergraf-9-2-a-new-post.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:15:44 GMT Image: http://blog.rac.me.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/grated_slide_for_kids.jpg Local children around Baptist City, learn a biblical lesson...
