Hi Dunc, Frank, and others, yeah I am wanting to break the habit. Realize I am using the forum as an avoidance behaviour against taking decisive action in the real world. And don't want the temptation of having a SS membership there at the click of a button. Ever since getting CFS, it has been...

Thx Ani......

I've had a pretty good search on how to do the above but found nothing. Is it possible to terminate one's membership?

Excellent info Simon. $3500 is what I am aiming to pay for full complement of kit kitchen cupboards, bench tops and appliances in a new house.

$3500 would be hard to be beat at the places I mentioned Simon. Can you give me a run down on what you got? - pantry - overheads - appliances? dw, gas top or electric, oven brand etc.. - electrician's bill on top of $3500? - new or reno with power and plumbing in place? - flooring and wall...

Kenneth, I am interested in how you reconcile karma and your Christian faith. Could you comment on whether you believe genetic flaws within one's genes are a transference of karma from one generation to another? And if so, why so? How does one reconcile the sins of the parents being burdened...

Simon, I agree we have exhausted discussion of this issue. We don't have common frames of reference and we both seem pretty stuck in our own paradigms. I engaged you in discussing these matters because you chose to present them in a thread as 'natural laws' and 'facts'. I took issue with you on...

While the speculation is running hot, who thinks what is going to happen in Iraq as Coalition forces withdraw, and if all hell breaks loose, should the UN go in?

Kenneth, There have been too many new age start ups come out with stuff like this in the last 50 years. I got caught up in something similar in the 70s, and was burnt by it. I am now very cynical about new spins on old ideas, especially when someone claims they are channeling some entity or...

Geoff, you left out 'please do not quote the whole of a previous post when replying, unless it is in context'
