Friday Randomness
--It's another Friday the 13th, which means I'll hear comments all day about how unlucky it is. The only thing I suspect I'll see unlucky about today is all the fools who waited until the last minute to buy their Valentine crap.
--If Jesus died for their sins, why do some Christians hate Jews for 'killing' him? I mean, according to their doctrine, if he hadn't died, they'd all be going to hell in a handbasket. I've never understood that one.
--I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to read that Microsoft's programmers used profanity in their code. (link via Fark) Programmers swear? I had no idea. [/sarcasm]
--Why don't dogs understand body lotion? Why don't they think gee, she's putting funny-smelling stuff on, she must want it there? But noooo. Apparently that smell means that if the stuff isn't removed immediately, MOMMY'S GONNA DIE! And if the mental image of me hopping around the bathroom, lotion bottle in one hand, while trying to simultaneously shoo out & dodge the very large Akita who's learned how to open the bathroom door and is earnestly trying to save me from the funny-smelling stuff that's on me amuses you, well....I'm glad I brightened your day.
Just wait until it happens to you. Then see how funny you think it is.

Dogs are great aren't they? Mine ritually rescue me from the TV yet completely ignore any rodents that may be in the vicinity. It beats me why I feed them.

Maybe the body lotion smells like peaches to people but like Alpo to pooches. Great story.

Someone's trying to tell you they want to smell pretty too.

No, she thinks it's evil. I keep telling her it's Nivea for God's sake, it's a good thing.
Andy you need a cat. Most dogs could care less if there's a mouse in the house. Though I used to have a collie/Border collie mix that loved to go to the barn with me on search & destroy missions against mice. We had baled oats one year, and the cats couldn't keep up with all the mice that that attracted. So every day or so, I'd get a big stick & me 'n Old Yeller would head for the barn. I'd turn over bales of oats & me 'n him would kill mice til we got bored.

Nivea? That explains it! Nivea is the most disgusting, malodorous, glop ever invented. I used to get it in 1 lb tubs (for medicinal purposes) and the faintest whiff of it now turns my stomach. That and Ensure.

For many people, being a Christian is more like belonging to a club than anything else. Even if they know what Christ commanded (and many don't) they don't let it affect how they live and the choices they make. They are cultural christians only. Also, some Christians do not believe in the literal Words of the Bible. Instead they allegorize it. They can thereby ignore the hundreds of Bible verses that say the Jews are God's chosen people and that He is not through with them yet. They believe that God has turned His back on the Jews and replaced them in His plans and affection with the Church. They believe the Church is His chosen people. It follows that they believe if God has rejected Jews, then so can they. Much historical persecution of Jews stems from this sadly mistaken belief.
