  1. Sorry to hear this Danielle, it's always hard at first but there's always a reason for it and maybe for the best. Keep positive! hugs, c.
  2. i don't have any problems with this, especially for handicapped parking spots or maybe in front of a fire hydrant...quick and easy way for reporting it. I get irritated when this happens. As for the gov getting more money from it, don't park illegally, pretty simple to me and if you do you get dinged. I'm sure there are ways to mitigate it, if it is abused.
  3. same here Vanessa, enjoyed him as an actor (Tony Soprano and in the The Last Castle)...will be missed.
  4. Sorry to hear this RG, my condolences. Further condolences also extend to Notch Johnson, who also lost his father yesterday. my best to you both.

  8. ^ First i have to agree with Emily's post, great post! Also Claire made a point of saying that maybe people will want to get rid of the recommendations...if you have 3 sps and 2 have glowing recommendations and the 3rd doesn't have one, is she going to feel offended that she doesn't have one and the others do?! it's the nature of the biz, but does it make her any less, no...just not recognized, yet. And that goes for Best BJ type threads, maybe there are some sps that excel at it and others don't, but maybe better at something else. Also, guys are paying money for this service and if a BJ is something they want, then they want someone well recommended. There's some threads i don't care for and so i don't participate, so what do i do...i ignore them and go on the threads i do enjoy...it's really that simple. As for the daily hottie threads...yes, immature but it's mindless fun but i enjoy them, get to see sexy women! ....and who would be offended by that, none of the women are from this site. the moral of the story, change the channel if you don't like what you see. ...and, yes, this has been mentioned before - http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36167
  9. http://news.sky.com/story/1096687/former-it-specialist-claims-to-be-jesus-reborn Alan John Miller, known as AJ, runs a religious movement in Kingaroy, Queensland, and claims to have memories of the crucifixion. 3:43pm UK, Wednesday 29 May 2013 Video: Alan Miller and partner Mary Luck have set up the Divine Truth movement Enlarge Video: Graham Baldwin's charity Catalyst helps cult victims Enlarge Email By Jonathan Samuels, Australia Correspondent A man claiming to be Jesus is gaining followers and causing concern among cult experts in Australia. Former IT specialist Alan John Miller, or AJ as he prefers to be known, runs a religious movement known as the Divine Truth from his home near the small town of Kingaroy in the state of Queensland. Mr Miller claims that not only is he Christ, but his partner, Australian Mary Luck, is in fact Mary Magdalene, who according to the Bible was present at the crucifixion. He told Sky News: "I have very clear memories of the crucifixion, but it wasn't as harrowing for me as it was for others like Mary who was present. "When you are one with God you are not in a state of fear, and you have quite good control over your body's sensations and the level of pain that you absorb from your body." Mr Miller holds seminars near his home and also travels around the world teaching people how to have a personal relationship with God, often by delving deep into their emotions. Dozens of his followers are understood to have bought properties in the area to be closer to him. After his crucifixion the Australian claims he entered the spirit world where he met Plato, Socrates, popes and presidents. He also says he remembers performing miracles. He said: "I did resurrect quite a number of people ... including a friend of mine Lazarus, who most people know is mentioned in the Bible." Whilst critics dismiss his claims the seminars attract large groups of people, up to 150 a time. British woman Louise "Luli" Faver, 39, is a former neuroscientist who has given up her career to be closer to the couple. "It's just nice to instead of being surrounded by people who think you are nuts, to be surrounded by people who understand what you are going through and the difficulties of trying to deal with all the emotional stuff," she said. She believes AJ Miller has helped her become happier and more fulfilled in life. Mr Miller holds seminars near his home in Kingaroy, Queensland George Hamel has left behind a business and his wife in California to be closer to Mr Miller and his teachings. He firmly believes Mr Miller is Jesus Christ and insists there's nothing sinister about him. "It's natural that people form fears when they don't know about something," he said. "Anyone who has a chance to look into it aren't going to find anything too upsetting." Some, however, are concerned - like the Rev David Millikan, who has met AJ Miller and has studied cults for 30 years. He said: "The danger is you'll be drawn closer and closer into his web to a point that you lose access to your social life, you spend all your money, you'll have the curses of all your family ringing in your ears and you may well lose your relationship." But Mr Miller says he does not demand anything of those who come and listen to him speak. He claims donations are welcome, but not obligatory. He refutes any suggestion that he forces anyone to do anything they are uncomfortable with. "All we do is present seminars and answer people's questions. I still for the life of me can't quite understand where the cult thing has come from," he told Sky News. He added: "There were lots of people in the first century who didn't believe I was the Messiah and were offended by what I said - and in fact I died at the hands of some of them. "Unfortunately they didn't learn love either and my suggestion is, even if you don't believe I am Jesus, at least learn how to love." Mary Luck admits her family have not supported her relationship with Mr Miller. She said: "My parents became very afraid simply because AJ was saying he was Jesus publicly and by their own admission they feared for what my life would be like. "They also had some fundamental issues with looking at emotions which is core to these teachings." Through DVDs, the internet and in person AJ Miller is spreading his word globally. Whether he is the Messiah or just make believe, there are plenty of people who are prepared to listen.
