I didn't take jemdandy's post as argumentative; I took it as educational.

And I loved the video - so well done.

A Christmas Bear Scene! From The Bear Man!
Q
Comments (14)
I just love black bears! Except the time when I was little and my parents told us kids to pile into the back of the family station wagon. What they failed to tell us was there was a 550+ pound black bear in the back of the car! A friend of my dad's killed it and it was gutted and sprawled out in the back of the station wagon. We kept screaming that it was still alive (steam was coming out of its mouth) and that it was moving. Even the family dog, a big dachshund who wasn't afraid of much of anything jumped in the front seat when he saw the bear. And people wonder why I'm so weird!

Hi Everyone and thank you for the warm welcome, We are enjoying the photos that you are all posting. Lisa, thank you for the kind words The plant you are asking about has not yet been registered but will be under the name,Vr Melissa Dilling. It is a Vr Kakadu x self and the parents of Kakadu are Vr Fenestralis x Vr Fosteriana. Vr Kakadu has been registered and is on FCBS. Fenestralis is a amazing parent and as the photos show is capable of producing some amazing plants. Im just starting in the Vriesea Hybridizing game ( i have always grown some broms but my main interest was in Orchids, The orchids have just about gone and the Broms well and truly have taken over). I have been a friend of Jacks for 40 years as we both grew orchids, and he has shown me the finer points in pollinating and is a great inspiration. I also love Billbergias and have been busy this last 12 months playing with pollen and as a result i have Billbergia seedlings everywhere. I will post a few photos of them in the next couple of days. Im very excited about the colours they are showing.I also grow a few Guzmania's, Aechmea's and Neo's, but Vriesea's and Billbergias are my main areas of interest. Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome. Tamera

OHHH MY cold Showers!! eeeks!! i will pray for that guy to hurry up!! i am surprised your hubby can't get it to light!! or you! hubs gets one of those long lighters for the bbq, and he holds it where the pilot light is on, the you turn the dial and hold in, i believe, but make sure the lighter is on, LOL while your holding in the gas is releasing, the directions should be on the dial or right above it, and then i believe you have to turn it a little more, and then let go. and it should stay lit. i had to light ours once. one time hubs had to light our heater that was in the basement of our house we were renting, and he couldn't get it to stay lit, well this time he was getting it to finally getting it to stay lit, but all of a sudden it blew out, and he didn't know, he was turning around to tell me something, i was impatient, and he turned back around, and the thing burned his finger so he let go of the lighter, so he instinctively started it back up, so that's when it blew up in his face, burnt his eyebrows off and his mustache, so now he uses the long handled lighter. and he absolutely hates lighting them things, and wonders why i absolutely hate gas!! GEEE babe, i wonder why?? it almost took out my hubs, my unborn child and me in the process. i boil huge things of water and take a bath, if i ABSOLUTELY have to. so guess what talla got for christmas from her grandma?? just guess???? ok i'll tell ya, geeze!! she got all the princess's in the barbie form. how crazi is that? and tabor got shooting set, and when he's done, he hits the middle one and then it resets itself. now that is way too awesome! she also got a ring/necklace/bracelet in her birthstone set. now this will be interesting to see what my mom comes up with, besides mariposa barbie, she got two of them so her and casy can play together. that was nice. my mom asked me what i want. i said an aero garden.

Ugly Christmas Sweater ... Ideas Needed
Q
Comments (37)
The ugly sweater embellishment is almost complete. The stuffed kitty will be perched on my right shoulder, with his hind legs, tail, and kitty butt facing the front, as he "leaps" down my back, grabbing at the string of lights that also descends willy nilly down the back side. The cat toy puff balls are on the back too. I have the Here Comes Santa CLAWS hat, so I'm just about ready for our party!

Very cute! I loved it.

This brings up another point and that is additions have been made in the telling of this story. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention how many 'wise' men visited the Christ Child. It only mentions 3 gifts; There is no record of how many men or people paid respects. This void has been filled in by artists, assumption, and common practice. Our culture abounds with images of three wise men on camels to the extent that many people automatically think: Three Wise Men traveling on camels. It is assumed they were on camels. This is a plausible assumption because a camel is capable of traveling long distances in desert terrain. People of that period also rode donkeys.

In a few instances, I have heard people say that the Magi (Zoroastrian Wise Men) followed the eastern star to Bethlehem. But wait, what is recorded in the Bible? Of the 4 Gospels, the Christ Star is mentioned only in the Book of Matthew.

Quote, Matthew 2, 2: "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the
king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East [or at its rising]."

The Magi were from Persia (Iran) and if they traveled toward an eastern star, they never would have arrived in Bethlehem. The Magi saw an eastern star as a sign of Christ's birth, and traveled toward Jerusalem, not toward an eastern star, made inquiries, and then continued to Bethlehem. We do not know if they arrived in time for Jesus's birth or some time later.

Seriously jemdandy!?!?! Does EVERYTHING need to be argued about??? No one thinks they REALLY made it!! Which is why we celebrate their entrance into the story on Epiphany!!! Best we can tell they found Jesus in Egypt when he was a toddler.... Yes, the bible has the story and yes people/artists/authors make the important parts fit cohesively in sweet stories. The video was GREAT thanks for sharing. It is dangerous to assume EVERYTHING fact for fact is in the Bible. Jesus/God never claimed that!!!! The bible is about God's truths not FACTS.

Gotta love the way kids use 'magical thinking'. They have such limited context, and they don't dare challenge adults, upon whom they are dependent. It's remarkable.
