When I was 16 working at the local grocery store there was a Puerto Rican family that moved into town. Mom, adult son, and twin teenage daughters. They always bought two buggies full of groceries so the other guys didn't want to bag their groceries, so I always took care of it. One day while I was taking the groceries to their car, the son told me that he wanted me to date his sisters. I responded, "You mean sister?" and he said "No, both of them."
I was too naïve at the time at didn't understand Latino family dynamics so I thought that there was no way the sisters would be okay with it and that it would be a whole mess of drama, so I passed the opportunity. Wish I could go back and tell my younger self to have jumped on that opportunity.

How often do you go to Starbucks?



Once or twice a year. I get the Pistachio latte. From Glukstadt to Florence you can get better coffee at a CC's, PJ's, Mocha Mugs, or the MS original franchise Cups.

When I was in the Navy during the "War on Terrorism" we heard about some Marines that wrote Starbucks asking for a care package because they were fans of Starbucks coffee and couldn't access it while forward deployed. Starbucks corporate declined stating that Starbucks Co. did not support war of any kind.
That was all it took for me to avoid buying their coffee regularly. I really like pistachio lattes though.

Anybody going see it? Going tonight I ready love these movies based on the books of the Husband and wife.


Wasn't planning on it, but got invited to go see it by a friend that is a huge fan of the franchise. We saw it in the 4DX showing. It was a good movie.

So we don't have to abide by that whole "Thou shall not kill" clause anymore?


I don't think that aligns with the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament.

which by the way is against the teachings of the Catholic Church and the old testament


Are we all members of the Nation of Israel? The Old Testament is about the establishing of the Nation of Israel and God's covenant with them. We are held to the covenant of the New Testament.

Genesis 2 is a more “focused” look at the creation of man


No. It's literally 2 different events. The first chapter says man and woman were created together, and told to be fruitful and multiply. Genesis 2 tells us that Adam was created alone.
quote:

I’m not sure what this means / implies.

Genesis 1
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 2
7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Separate chapters, separate Man. The first were created male and female and told to fill the Earth. The second was a Man created in the Garden.

Are you saying brothers and sisters were or were not required to populate the world per Genesis?

Were not.
quote:

How do Creationists reconcile its incestuous design (brothers and sisters required to make babies to create the world’s population)?


In Genesis there are two descriptions of Creation. It is not a generalized telling followed by a more descriptive in depth retelling. It is the creation of everything outside the Garden followed by the description of God creating the chosen inside the Garden of Eden.

It seems if you are 100% disabled you would be incapacitated


The VA disability rating refers to how much of your daily life is impacted by your disability. As well, there are 2 100% disability ratings. 100% disabled/hirable, and 100% disabled/non-hirable.

I've actually never had Monkey 47, but know several people who like it.

I don't think this is accurate.

I'm pretty sure this is.

I believe this has always been the dress code for Starbucks. Stores have just been very laxed in enforcing it for several years. And if I'm right, the Union has no dog in the fight.

That's not a Trump threat. Failure to report has been a charge for a long time.

You're acting like a bitch in spite of the fact that you can't give her those things (which is okay)

You're being jealous and petty.



And she totally paid for that dinner in some other way



The stupidest part about y'all latching on to Olive Garden is that the bill from when I took her there was more than the bill from when she and her client went to dinner. $119 > $100

I know that it is my issues from the past. Everyone has childhood trauma right? I want a relationship in which I am appreciated, and because this woman has never said thank you, or bought me any kind of gift, I believe that I am not appreciated by her. So I turned to strangers on the internet and probably didn't give enough context, but all that would have got me is TLDR.
