I wanted to chirp in and say the Hug for the Apostle book really is quite good! I found two copies in our church's gift shop a few years ago, and aside from the comparisons between then and now, I really like the way the route is documented, esp. since the author started in France.
I started selling skincare and nutrition products in August ... well, since I don't sell very much yet at this stage, I 'share' about skincare, etc. I used to use the example of the acquaintances that I knew from college that did this as people who needed to prove that they had something useful...
There was a time when traveling around the world seemed to some as not fitting into the mindset of the same people who held down steady jobs. However, with what I've seen in the past 10+ years, notifying a potential employer (within a reasonable amount of time) that you were planning on doing...
Having dealt with bed bugs three times, twice in an apartment when other tenants moving in brought them with them, I would say if she does have them the most likely place would be the books that were unpacked. After my place was treated the second time, 7 or so months later I went through a box...
I can't imagine being able to knit and walk at the same time, but I am a knitter, and I've found that it does cross language barriers with regularity. Most of the needles that I buy are the bamboo kind in case I should feel that I need to take them on an airplane (but I haven't done that...
I've probably taken 20+ cross-country trips on Amtrak here in the US, and the air-circulation in the sleeper cars is more comfortable than in the coaches (where even there, there is more room than on an airplane). The windows don't open, unlike Europe, but I know the Amtrak train goes through...
I think it helps to refer to people in the Forum by their Forum names, otherwise it would be a lot harder to put a post with who posted it, etc. when going through threads.
I think a lot of the reason people from the US are more specific about where they are from has to do with different states being created for completely different reasons at different times. Nevada has the motto 'Battle-Born' because it was created during the Civil War to add another state to...
One of my favorite quotes is from Mark Twain - "Clothes make the man; naked people have little or no influence on society."
As for myself, I have found myself very uncomfortable at times wearing clothes that were not mine, and didn't end up really reflecting me, or, not fitting me the way I...
There is a chapel in Rome 'made' out of bones, I think from a boneyard of sorts in Austria. I think it is commonly referred to as 'the bone chapel', to my memory ... it's strangely peaceful inside, but most people are just walking through anyway and not staying very long.
