You shouldn't quit because of this. The forum is not a place for religion
and for politics. If you around years ago the were heated debates and some very
nasty things posted without religion or politics. Imagine what the forum would
be if those were allowed.
While I hate censorship, having studied Nazi Germany and the USSR, it is not
really censorship to not allow these subjects (Forum fights). We cannot post
nude pictures of people nor can we use all the fun descriptive words we all know,
use, and understand. I look more of what is not allowed as leaving more relevant
topics germane to Lego and or the personalities of those posting and reading.
Besides, I do not want to show everyone that disagrees with my views on these
subjects how wrong they are.

I didn't, even if I don't share your enthousiasm.
I'm sorry you quit.

On the other side, IMHO, I think religion (like sexuality) is your private domain,
your private choices.

I'm not fan of proselitism - but I do recommend BrickStore ha ha - or
someone trying to "sell" me his own faith, or again, sexuality.

I think I wrote you about this and your choice of name and logo, which could
have participated to your least favorite position, plus maybe this post you're
talking about but that I didn't read (was cancelled before I came).

All that said, you shouldn't leave for this, IMHO again.

Good luck!

a good rule of thumb regarding religion in general is to treat it as your private
parts: don't show it in public unless you're in the correct forum, don't
impose it on others and stop thinking the world is being run by it

Yeah,
I feel like the storyline was a bit forced. Though it really did make good characters.

I don't mean to rag on it. They set the rules of the game and then put on
a fun show.

It gave me a similar feeling that I got from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They
waited SO long to continue the story and then drop little bits of untold history
that make me resentful that they didn't make the movies in the middle.

in at normal altitude and probably go undetected by the missile systems and enemy
patrols until they accomplished the objective.

But if they used F-22s then the movie would be about the Air Force and not the
Navy - I'm assuming the parameters of the mission required launching from
a carrier instead of an airbase.

It is not really my usual kind of movie, but a friend invited me and I enjoyed
it.

My son had booked theatre tickets for us to the Top Gun, Maverick movie
at a very unique theatre, with a fabulous dinner and libations served before
and during the showing. Not bad

We also visited the Oregon coast (razor clam season) and other wondrous places
up here. It was a good-to-be-alive type of time

Hope you got your Father's day gifts in time.

Bless you Dads. Stay strong!

Happy belated birthday to your son.

And a happy belated Father’s Day to you Cory.

The Cute Giraffe

Excellent movie! In many ways better than the original.

I saw it in an IMAX theatre, and subconsciously picked seat F-18.

10/10 would definitely recommend.

I’ve built a very nice LEGO F-14 with working swing wings, I’m now looking for
a nice F-18 MOC to build.

Yeah,
I WILL NOT SPOIL IT. I watched it on the weekend and it was great. Back when
the first one came out it was epic (for its time). Now I've watched them
both and they are both awesome. I loved the effort and the whole movie.

The storyline was great and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about watching
it.

What do you guys think of it?

What are your thoughts on the movie?

I doubt it and believe it's the former, human cancer.

Random does not necessarily mean without conscience choice. Random simply refers
to something that cannot be anticipated in advance. So, from Nubs_Select's
perspective, this email appears random. They cannot even predict if it will be
in English or in French!

In other words, you're asking if anyone has received emails (made, done,
happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision)
from PayPal?

Do you honestly believe anything is "done without conscious decision" from any
entity such as PayPal?

The post is so ludicrous, I had trouble in formulating a rational reply. This
is the best I could do

Truth be told, in this day and age, the vast majority of emails are sent without
any conscious decision at all, by automated scripts and bots (unless, of course,
said email bots are conscious).

Of course, the person who wrote the script/bot was most likely conscious, but
even that cannot be taken for granted, for a significant amount of computer code
these days is written by… other code.

better serve the needs of the LEGO community. I can only imagine what the next
22 years will bring.

For context, here are some statistics: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1304

The charts only go through 2013, but I don't need to see the rest to know
that BrickLink is a thriving marketplace.

Play Well!

P.S. Today is also Juneteenth and Father's Day in the U.S.

And today is my 21st anniversary of my BrickLink account! It can legally drink
now!

Thank you for the reminder. I personally love this place, and I don't know

Happy 22nd Birthday Bricklink.

I love this website and its awesome community. I love to look through the forums

acquired.

Thanks for everything you awesome website (and its community)

  I said “fine, here you go”

But seriously, this is an update to a post some have asked about in the interum:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1302554

Almost lost them over the winter. Not so much the lack of UV or growth cycles,
but because of a toxic-to-plants substance, I knew nothing about: cat piss! I
understand it's use as a derogatory, now

Had a client ones that did not understand why her shrub kept dying on a certain
side.
As we were talking the culprit showed up, did his business against said shrub
and strolled of

  
My son was away on business and had us sit his (unbeknownst to us) pregnant cat,
this she-demon: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1329051 She had for
some reason been pissing in the saplings' pots at night. Almost killing them
within hours. I have never smelt ammonia as strongly as her urine, pungent as
Hell itself.

Yup, I never advice clients with neighbors from hell that won’t keep in shape
their greenery’s over the border of their garden to use urine.
That would kill the problem fast…

  
Well, I did the Botany ER thing with them for two months, I wasn't gonna
give up on them! I believe they’ll pull-through, against all odds.

Next time remove as much soil as possible, or give large amounts of water to
clear the soil.

  
The First is now nearly 5 feet tall now, she is Jazz. The second is doing well
too with beautiful dark green foliage, is Gavin.

Nice going 👍

If you cat sit again, put aluminum foil in pots. The cats hate the foil and
it will keep them form climbing into pots to do business. Another option is
to put some tape sticky side up across tops of pots and they won’t mess with.

Yeah that also was correct in the email. I marked over my last name but it was
also correct.

the email was worded more like I'm now verified to use Paypal as a seller
not as much verified on a device which I should have added previously I can see
how I caused some confusion

It kinda looks like the message I get when I use Paypal multiple times through
a browser. Initially, I would need to go through the "I am not a robot" click-thingy,
but after a few times a message comes up at login, saying something to the effect
that Paypal now trusts the device I am using, and the robot clicks are now no
longer needed (but obviously the password is still required).

It looks like you are using their app though - I don't have any experience
with that.

Niek.

Yeah, I do think it's legit. and there isn't anything in my account when
I open it. I double-checked the address letter for the letter and the address
that sent it and it's all good and there aren't any links. It just reminded
me of when I had first to verify my account a while ago and they said I had to
send in a certain document and every time I submitted it they denied it but then
after submitting it like 15-20 times (not even exaggerating much) they accepted
it so maybe they had a copy of that in their system and they accepted it a second-time
by mistake since so many copies were sent.

It could be legit; especially if there's no link you've to click to.
If they require to do something, just open your account separately (no click)
and see if something is required there.
If not, send this e-mail to spoof@paypal.com - let them fix their own glitches

Not recently. But perhaps it’s an old one that got “stuck” in the database any
sent out with a system refresh (I don’t know if thats even possible)
