I see players and hear players run 40's in under 5 seconds, I see huge linemen, and guys that can bench press twice their weight, esp powerlifters? What makes these players invited to the NFL Scouting combine so special? Is it that they are superstar college players in addition to these physical skills?
What does it take for a player to get invited to the NFL Combine?

Have you ever invited a prostitute into your home, motel room or car to share Bible passages with them?
I saw my Preacher doing that and was just curious about how effective this method of teaching is.

Ive been invited to a baby shower and the only one I will know is the To Be Mother.

Awkward and out of place! But would learn to meet new people :)
Reply:I went to a wedding reception in the evning with my friend. It was her friends wedding. I only knew my friend and her friend. Her friend was obviously doing the rounds all night,and myfriend knew everyone.
I was very uncomfortable as it was mainly the bride and grooms family and friends and no one seemed to want to make conversation with a stranger.I felt a complete lemon.
Would not do it again

Go, you won't regret anything and the To Be Mother will be grateful that you exited out of your comfort zone for her.
Reply:I would be a bit nervous
But I would still go
You are celebrating the fact that the mother to be is having the baby
And you might meet new people and get to know them

How to decor a studio to look cozy and inviting?
should i get a futon,daybed or sofabed?
its a small room, with a bathroom and kitchenette a dont want it to have a motel look.
How to decor a studio to look cozy and inviting?
You could try to put a large mirror on one wall and frame it with draperies like a window. The mirror adds dimension to the room and make the space feel bigger.
Another way to help is to try to go vertical, by adding tall shelving or hang stuff up to get more floor space. Sometimes the way you arrange the furniture can break up the room to make it feel like you have more space. like a fold up screen just inside the front door that blocks the view of the room some to add interest and maybe distract from the kitchenette at least for that brief few seconds apon entry.
Use of color and contrast can also add the illusion off more space, like dark colored walls below eye level can make it seem bigger (I think that is how it works) Ask a designer about that or read about it online.
Reply:I'd get a good sofabed (watch out, they're very heavy) and load it with colorful pillows and a couple of beanbag type chairs for the floor.
If you have some wallspace, frame a large piece pretty fabric or staple some around some foamboard, and use pushpins or corsage pins to pin up pictures, notes, momentos, containers with flat sides to hold light-weight stuff like pencils, pens, bookmarkers.
Whattaya think?
Hope this provides an idea bank that inspires you to think of MORE ideas of your own. Good luck!
Reply:To create a d茅cor that you will be happy with, think about what you want and also what you don鈥檛 want. My choose would be the Futon.
Reply:Bold, warm colors, comfy rugs, and art work. I don't know if you watch "Design Star" but on season one David Bromsted (he actually ended up winning!)designed a studio apartment (well actually all of them did, but his was the best) and he created a half wall and created a small bedroom (I'd use a regular bed, maybe just like a really low one, it'd be modern and functional, a futon would be highly uncomfortable after awhile), he painted the walls red and brown (like some walls red, some brown, it turned out really great), and a nice black sofa, glass coffee table, a nice sized TV, and a functional, but small eating area would make the place look cozy, inviting, and great!

How do you suttely tell someone who invited themselves to a dinner that was not invited in the first place?
Our receptionist basically invited herself to a lunch that our boss annually takes 3 of us out in every Dec, which coinsides with our Birthday Month. This year one of our group, who just joined us and his birthday is in July, is going. Just because this lady, who's birthday is in Nov., wined that she should go, but we've dropped "hints" that this is our working group and she has had previous "lunches" with other secretaries, and that this our time.
How do you suttely tell someone who invited themselves to a dinner that was not invited in the first place?
Honesty is the best policy, but it is up to your boss to tell her that she isn't invited. Someone needs to tell your boss that she has conveniently invited herself to lunch because he is the one who is footing the bill. He is the one who is going to have to explain to her that it is not her "turn" for a free lunch and that she already had hers on "secretary day". Figure out who is going to tell the boss, because someone is going to have to beforehand. Good luck!!!
Peace %26amp; Love :)
Reply:So what? It's up to your boss to tell her "no" or that the occasion is for you all. I would find it pretty rude of you to tell her that she can't go. So what if she goes? You're not paying for it so don't worry about it.

What is a proper gift to bring when someone invites you to dinner?
My wife and I have been invited to have a nice dinner at another couple's house. They are providing everything, including the wine. The only thing they say we can bring is a desert. Is there anything else that would be proper to bring as a gift? Maybe a bottle of liquor?
What is a proper gift to bring when someone invites you to dinner?
A nice bottle of wine (25.00-40.00) and put it in a CLOTH wine bag with a cork screw attached. I always bring that. They may open it up or save it. Etiquette is that they save it because you brought it as a gift.. So don't be surprised when they don't open it. They should have bottles open when you arrive so the wine has had time to breath..

Would I be invited to the rehearsal dinner?
My boyfriend is a groomsman in his friend's wedding. The wedding is in the bride's hometown, about four hours from us. I've never been to this city. My boyfriend %26amp; I are driving out to the wedding on Friday morning and the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner will be that evening.
Should I expect to be invited to the dinner? Or would it be better for me to start planning for something to do on my own (or with the other groomsmen's wives/girlfriends) that evening?
Would I be invited to the rehearsal dinner?
"Girlfriend of a groomsman" is an awkward role in a wedding. There are so many things going on that involve the wedding party that you are almost guaranteed to feel like a fifth wheel much of the time: waiting (alone) in the church for the ceremony to start, waiting (alone) for the photographs to be done, sitting with strangers at the reception, and so on. A gracious hostess will do all that she can to minimize your discomfort, but it is still an awkward situation.
If the rehearsal dinner is formal, you will receive a written invitation to it in your own name if you are invited, and it would be rude to ask to bring a guest. If the arrangements are informal and the invitations verbal, it's okay for your boyfriend to ask "is Jane invited too?" (not "can I bring Jane", which is a little different.) But, if you already have plans, then he doesn't need to ask and can avoid any possible awkwardness. If you aren't engaged (or already living together in a de-facto conmmon-law marriage) then you should not *expect* to be invited.
So, I would make plans; and I would make them particularly pleasant plans in order to avoid any possible feelings of self-pity or resentment. Also (please make your boyfriend read this paragraph) on the day of the wedding you should feel special -- wear a nice dress, jewellery and a corsage -- to help you avoid those "fifth wheel" feelings. Properly-brought-up, caring young men ---%26gt;bring their date flowers%26lt;--- routinely, but ESPECIALLY for an occasion like this, where other ladies will be wearing or carrying flowers and where he will be prevented by circumstances from paying you some of the attention that he normally would pay you.
Reply:no, invitations are not sent for the rehearsal. I would think since you are coming from out of town with him that you are invited, but he better clarify that with the groom. same thing happened to me a few months ago, my bf was in a wedding but I didn't know until the night before that I was invited to the rehearsal. I didn't end up going because I was sick, and it was in town so we didn't have to travel, but it would have been nice to know beforehand. you have to know how to dress and whatnot so have your bf ask the groom.
Reply:It depends on the groom's parents since they are the hosts of the party. We invited the SO's of my wedding party as well as all out of town guests.
That said, I've been an out of town guest and not been invited to the rehearsal dinner. I've also had my SO at the time not invited to the rehearsal dinner.
So it's a great big "it depends." Have your bf ask the groom.
Reply:You will probably be invited to the rehearsal dinner, unless the bride and groom are super-cheap and totally rude.
Some couples send formal invitations for the rehearsal dinner, others just use word-of-mouth. It would be appropriate for your boyfriend to ask the groom, "Hey, what are you all doing about guests at your rehearsal dinner? If Jane can't come, I'd like to give her a heads-up so she can make some other plans that evening."
Reply:I would not assume anything. If I were the bride, I would invite you but funds may be limited. I would plan on having a nice relaxing evening on your own. Soak in the tub, watch a movie, etc. I would leave the other ladies out of your planning since you dont know if they will be attending the rehearsal or not. If all else, ask your bf to see if you will be attending the dinner
Reply:usually the bride and groom invite wedding party spouse's. If they don't then they're extremely rude and don't know wedding Etiquette. Anywhere your spouse needs to be for their wedding they should include you and you should be with your spouse every step of the way. if not then i would have a fun evening with the wives of the other groomsmen, and say screw them
Reply:if you're IN the wedding, it would be assumed you'd go, and details would go out word of mouth.
if someone is married or has been in a longtime relationship, i believe it would be assumed both would go. if you two have only been together a short time, i wouldn't assume.
but don't assume you can't go or wouldn't be welcome...your bf should ask if you can go.
Reply:It really depends. For my wedding the s/o's aren't invited to the rehearsal. I have limited space, its outside and they would be in the way. I also have a large bridal party so I cannot Pay for the 10 s/o's.
Reply:Since you are coming from out of town, you should be invited. If the wedding were in town or in the same area you live in then you shouldn't expect an invite.
Reply:Typically the significant others are invited to the rehearsall dinner, but I wouldn't consider it a given. I would just have your boyfriend ask what their plan is.
Reply:It should be fine for you to go, every rehersal dinner that i've gone to had their significan others there. But if you're unsure then have your boyfriend ask his buddy.
Reply:Usually, the s/o's are invited to the rehersal dinner. But, if there is any doubt, just ask.
Reply:usually, yes. but he'll have to ask them.
Reply:Some brides %26amp; grooms try to keep costs down and invite only their actual wedding party to the rehearsal dinner. If the bride %26amp; groom know you are traveling with their groomsman, the proper thing to do is to include you in the invite.
If the wedding is informal, invitations could be by word-of-mouth. But the proper thing to do is to mail an invitation to the rehearsal dinner.
Does that mean all brides %26amp; grooms do things properly? No.
If its less than a month to the wedding and he doesn't have a formal invite, I suggest your boyfriend inquire if you are invited.
Should I expect to be invited to the dinner? Or would it be better for me to start planning for something to do on my own (or with the other groomsmen's wives/girlfriends) that evening?
Would I be invited to the rehearsal dinner?
"Girlfriend of a groomsman" is an awkward role in a wedding. There are so many things going on that involve the wedding party that you are almost guaranteed to feel like a fifth wheel much of the time: waiting (alone) in the church for the ceremony to start, waiting (alone) for the photographs to be done, sitting with strangers at the reception, and so on. A gracious hostess will do all that she can to minimize your discomfort, but it is still an awkward situation.
If the rehearsal dinner is formal, you will receive a written invitation to it in your own name if you are invited, and it would be rude to ask to bring a guest. If the arrangements are informal and the invitations verbal, it's okay for your boyfriend to ask "is Jane invited too?" (not "can I bring Jane", which is a little different.) But, if you already have plans, then he doesn't need to ask and can avoid any possible awkwardness. If you aren't engaged (or already living together in a de-facto conmmon-law marriage) then you should not *expect* to be invited.
So, I would make plans; and I would make them particularly pleasant plans in order to avoid any possible feelings of self-pity or resentment. Also (please make your boyfriend read this paragraph) on the day of the wedding you should feel special -- wear a nice dress, jewellery and a corsage -- to help you avoid those "fifth wheel" feelings. Properly-brought-up, caring young men ---%26gt;bring their date flowers%26lt;--- routinely, but ESPECIALLY for an occasion like this, where other ladies will be wearing or carrying flowers and where he will be prevented by circumstances from paying you some of the attention that he normally would pay you.
Reply:no, invitations are not sent for the rehearsal. I would think since you are coming from out of town with him that you are invited, but he better clarify that with the groom. same thing happened to me a few months ago, my bf was in a wedding but I didn't know until the night before that I was invited to the rehearsal. I didn't end up going because I was sick, and it was in town so we didn't have to travel, but it would have been nice to know beforehand. you have to know how to dress and whatnot so have your bf ask the groom.
Reply:It depends on the groom's parents since they are the hosts of the party. We invited the SO's of my wedding party as well as all out of town guests.
That said, I've been an out of town guest and not been invited to the rehearsal dinner. I've also had my SO at the time not invited to the rehearsal dinner.
So it's a great big "it depends." Have your bf ask the groom.
Reply:You will probably be invited to the rehearsal dinner, unless the bride and groom are super-cheap and totally rude.
Some couples send formal invitations for the rehearsal dinner, others just use word-of-mouth. It would be appropriate for your boyfriend to ask the groom, "Hey, what are you all doing about guests at your rehearsal dinner? If Jane can't come, I'd like to give her a heads-up so she can make some other plans that evening."
Reply:I would not assume anything. If I were the bride, I would invite you but funds may be limited. I would plan on having a nice relaxing evening on your own. Soak in the tub, watch a movie, etc. I would leave the other ladies out of your planning since you dont know if they will be attending the rehearsal or not. If all else, ask your bf to see if you will be attending the dinner

How do you discourage a local friend from inviting himself over to your home or just dropping by?
I think this person is great, and I value his friendship. However, I am very busy and I work out of home. This friend has a habit of calling and making "spontaneous" requests to stop in for a glass of wine. I always thought it was rather rude to invite yourself to another person's home? Any ideas on how I can delicately navigate this awkward situation without alienating my acquaintance ?
How do you discourage a local friend from inviting himself over to your home or just dropping by?
Tell him sweetly that you have a pile of invoices to type (or whatever you do) and ask if you can call him later to set up a good day to meet for lunch.
Reply:Thank you for your help everyone. I like that all three answers have a similar theme of honesty and directness. I owe myself that, and of course I owe that to my friend.
What great women you are to give me such advice!

Reply:If he invites himself over, simply say it's not a good time but you'll give him a call and get together soon (then do so, as soon as you have time/desire). Same when he drops by unannounced...people can't take advantage of you unless you let them.
Reply:Tell him that you are busy and would love his company if he would give you plenty of notice.

Reply:Cocktail dresses are appropriate for women.Day wear is not appropriate if the wedding takes place in the evening;then you will need to look for a cocktail dress that is made of more sumptuous fabric,perhaps has a sheen to it.Dressy evening pantsuits are also an option and you can use jewelry to accentuate the outfit;pearls,diamonds,diamante for those who don't have diamonds.

little black dress, at knee.
Reply:Semi-formal wear usually indicates a suit with trousers for men, and a dress or suit with either trousers or a skirt for women. Usually in a wedding invite semi-formal is used to prevent shorts, jeans, t-shirts, non-dressy shoes, and the like... A safe bet is a nice pair of black slacks and a dressy top with dress sandals. As with any wedding - avoid white - it's the bride's color for the day and don't wear anthing too revealing or attention-drawing - it's her day and all eyes should be on her...

How about if a friend (boy), not a boy friend, after going to church (he told the girl to come to his church, he invite a girl to have lunch in his home, and the girl eat together with him, not include his parents, but he introduce the girl to his parents. What the meaning of that boy ? whether he only just a friend with the girl or something else ? but the boy is really strange, sometime call the girl, but not so often, and not yet declare if he has a feeling or not with the girl.
How about if a friend (boy), not a boy friend invite a girl to his house for lunch ...?
1 )the boy is very sweet %26amp; nice
2 ) the boy is comfotable when she is around as a friend!
3)the boy loves her!
4)the boy loves her!
5)the bot loves her!
Reply:He just took you over for lunch no big deal and he was just being polite to introduce you to the parents. Just be friends for now and see what happens.
Reply:may b he loves u but u hav to wait till he does not show any feelings for u . don't b over excited and don't ask him he will tell u if he loves u .
Reply:this is very complex situation coz some times it means that he is in love with u....thats y he introduced u to his parensta also......but some times this may be normal also.....my parents know more then 50 friends of mine....
so wait for him to give some more signals.......
Reply:Its hard to tell. I have had lunch with several girls with just the two of us. Some of them had boyfriends. Our lunch date didn't mean anything romantic. Their boyfriends knew about it, but we are good friends. He may have feelings, he may not.
Reply:wait, and meet his parents, but not stay in his bedroom, coz his parents will think that you are a bad girl and your religion is mask that you are hiding behind, they will not trust you.
so better meet him where his parents are if they were good.
be with your friends and his friends at lunch, be respectable talk in a nice way in front of your friends, don't let him touch you, and you don't of course because you are religious, love stay in th eheart or write it down on papers and keep soemwhere away from anyone's reach.
good luck, wait for Mr. right, and distract yourslef by doing sport activities, arts or voluntary work or working, studying.
Reply:If he is religious and still a boy, he's probably confused about what he wants himself. Knowing how hormonal the teenage years can be, I wouldn't be surprised if he really wants to get close to this girl, but the faith he follows discourages such behavior. His body is telling him one thing, but his mind is telling him another.
His inner conflict is probably what causes the odd behavior. (however it is not unusual for a guy of any age to not call a female as often as she'd like, so that isn't that strange). It is also what makes him invite the girl over when there's an opportunity to get closer, and what makes him introduce her to his parents in a much more formal way.
I'd say he's not mature enough to know what he wants from a girl friend. If she feels safe in this situation, she may want to take him to those places he's never been before, but he still may back into the expectations of his parents and clergy. If it doesn't feel safe for her now, then she should talk to him and make sure he understands that she is his friend, but not his girlfriend.
Reply:he is being a good friend. and maybe he can become closer and things might get better.

Anyone have spare demonoid Invite?
I had a demonoid account before they closed the first time, and when they came back, my account was gone :/ Anyone have a spare invite they can send me?
Anyone have spare demonoid Invite?
You will struggle to find someone that will give you an invite unless they know you. If you get warned or banned, they do too.
Your best option would to sign up when they open their doors to the public.
It closed on the 21st Jan and was open for 2 days. Open Registration days can be any day of the week, are not necessarily every month and can last hours or days.
I'd advise you to check the site EVERY day and eventually you will get there.
If you can't get an invite you will need to follow this path, good luck.
Please try and keep your share ratio above 1.1 when you get in.
You may find this tool useful, it's called Tracker Checker and you can leave it running in the background - http://www.stamcar.com/2007/07/25/tracke...
If you use this tool you will need to edit a few trackers, the Demonoid one needs the 'find string' changing from 'sername' to 'Desired username'
Hope this helps.
Reply:I can sell you one for $10 I can take payment via paypal. Send me an email if your interested in purchasing a demonoid invite. fightmma@gmail.com

How far in advance should I send out invites for my girls Birthday Party?
I'm planning on having a combined birthday party for my daughters on June 20th. This will be the first weekend of summer for them and their friends. Their school lets out on June 18th. I want to make sure people have enough notice, but at the same time I don't want them to forget if I send it out too early.
How far in advance should I send out invites for my girls Birthday Party?
I would send it out about 2 weeks before the party.
Reply:I would think two weeks which then gives parents time to check what they are doing and not make other plans for that day. However, if school is out, some children may have gone on holiday. However, if you send the invites out early, hopefully you will have the acceptances/refusals and will be able to plan accordingly.

I was invited to Sunday dinner at an Ethiopian home. What is some etiquette I need to know?
They are Christian and they are all women. I am curious if any Ethiopian people could give me some tips on table manners, if I should bring a small gift, etc... They are very nice people and I do not wish to offend them. I have visited their home numerous times but it has never been at all formal and I have never dined with them.
I was invited to Sunday dinner at an Ethiopian home. What is some etiquette I need to know?
You'd treat them with the same respect as you'd treat everyone else. You're not Ethiopian so they won't expect you to behave like one. Just try to follow what they do somewhat and enjoy yourself. If they've moved to your country then they've probably assimilated some what, too.
- Pepper.
Reply:Main thing: relax and have a good time.
-A gift would be appreciated. A bottle of wine would do perfectly.
-If someone stands up to feed you a mouthful, you can not refuse. It would embarass the one offering to feed you. You must accept TWO feeds, called 'Gursha' in Amharic, and THEN you can refuse.
Apart from that just do whatever they do and relax! Nobody's keeping scores! The main thing about having Ethiopian food (which is served on a large platter and everyone eats from it - especially when it's a holiday) is that it's more of a closeness thing.
So again ... just have fun!
One Love !!!

Before eating,most ethiopians will pray. During the prayer just fold your hands like them and close your eyes.

At the end of the meal before you leave, shake everyones hand, and thank them for the meal.

What kind of things should you consider when inviting people to a party?
On one hand, you don't want to offend people by not inviting them, but on another hand, you don't want to bring the party atmosphere down by inviting people that won't have a good time or get along with the rest of the party goers, for example, inviting your grandmother to a kegger. What is a good rule of thumb?
What kind of things should you consider when inviting people to a party?
if you have one person who doesnt get along with anyone then leave them out and tell them you would like to do something with tem another time.
but if you must invite someone from a different circle then just be sure and invite more people from that circle its fine to have different groups together.
Depending on what kind of party it is exactly,
For a casual; evening with friends there is a growing number of adult games you can play that will "break the ice" between groups. like "battle of the sexes" which is all the boys vs all the girls.
but as for a kegger it would be drinking games
I think the massive intake of booze gets people loose enough
Reply:Make sure that you provide enough entertainment for everyone...to keep the party in a happy mode.
lntroduce everyone and have something witty to say about the people you are introducing,that do not know each other.
You as the host should mingle constantly throughout the party...making sure no one feels alone or left out....

lntroduce everyone and have something witty to say about the people you are introducing,that do not know each other.

What would you do if if you were invited for dinner and Hercule Poirot was a fellow guest?
Would you make your excuses and leave? Every time the obsessive-compulsive little Belgian detective turns up one of the guests is assassinated. He's jinxed I tell you!

I can't seem to shake off the blasted fellow. I took a trip on the Orient Express recently with mumsy and the cretin was dining at the next table. Frightful busybody he is.
I went for cruise on the Nile with my school chummy Archibald Henderson Sidebottom last year and that Poirot fellow was there as well. Mind you, Sidebottom got away with murder - literally! He topped some fellow in a fit of rage during a game of backgammon, slipped a mickey finn to old Poirot which utterly confused his powers of deduction and he ended up accusing a poor innocent fellow of the murder who's now serving 40 years in an stinking Egyptian prison!
Sidebottom is such a clever chap. I'm terribly lucky to have him as a friend.

Lord Percy actually gave the fellow a blanket during the recent cold spell, now the shifty looking chap has ideas above his station.

Zebulon has it right. If you don't have a male friend you feel comforatable to just hang out and go to a movie with, then ask a girl friend. Am sure once your friend gets this guy to go with her, you'll be an extra no matter who you're with... so take a girlfriend and then bail after the movie's finished ... as long as your friend looks like she's enjoying herself and you girls trust the guy.
Reply:why do you have to take a guy , take one of your female friends instead. that way you and you girl can watch a movie and you can be there as moral support for your other friend.

Is it true that All we have to do is invite Jesus into our lives.?
You have to invite Jesus into your heart as Lord of your life. If you do that, you will follow Him because of the love you have for Him, not because there are some rules for you to follow.
Is it true that All we have to do is invite Jesus into our lives.?
I think that's a great start but this doesn't always necessarily guarantee that now we have become saved. I'm going to emphasize here that there is no magic formula or words to say that will guarantee salvation. Only God can grant us the gift of eternal life and it doesn't necessarily come that easily.
One example I'm reminded of is for instance the Billy Graham crusade. When the call goes out for people to invite Christ hundreds of people come down the aisles to "accept Jesus" into their lives. That's great but you'll also find that although many may have been "caught up in the moment" and "accepted Jesus" they eventually turn away from Christ. Does that mean they lost their salvation? No, it means that their repentance and belief was never real in the first place although they may have went through the motions of someone appearing to come to Christ.
True salvation is manifest in a demonstration of faith not a profession of faith. If the word of God has taken root in our lives and we have been converted this results in a life changing experience where we become sanctified more and more as we live our life. It results in a life that is deeply grieved and sorry for sin and it results in us repenting of our sins. It means that the fruits of the spirit such as love, joy, peace, patience and kindness are manifest. It means we trust the Bible and Christ 100% and it means our hope and treasure is heaven rather than the things of this life.
If faith and repentance of sins has not been manifest in our life we have to ask the question "am I really saved?" The sad thing is many people decieve themselves into thinking they have become saved when they have not. When Judgment Day does come it will be revealed that their conversion never took place and Christ will say "I never knew you".
Reply:No Jesus will not enter into you if you are full of sin, you MUST first repent, clean your house(heart) before you invite the living God into you.
He can not dwell in sin!
But if you want him he will prompt you to do this and stay with you if you listen to his church which he left to guide you and lead you into a true life with God.
That is the Catholic church where men are ordained by apostolic tradition to bind or loose on earth as it is in heaven.
Christ said do not fear, come and drink from the well of life and eternity in God is yours.
Reply:NO!!! If it was that simple then why is the church full of sinners all trying to get rid of their sins by their perpetual repentance prayers, making God so very angry?
Jesus said this, "Many are on the broad way which leads to death, but narrow is the way which leads to life, but few find in." It is therefore not so easy to just believe in Jesus, for the narrow way is hard to find. The Bible even tells us this: 'You do well by saying just believe in Jesus, but I tell you, even the devils believe and tremble."
And looking at the church today it becomes clear that only few have found the narrow way, for you cannot find one single holy and sinless saint in just any church.
The only way to this narrow way is for the seeker to cast his notions and thoughts he accumalated along the way away, and follow those saints who have gone before, and learn what this true faith is that God approves of, and then believe in it 100%.
These saints can be found in those websites recorded in my Avatar. Seek and you will find.

Reply:No. Jesus made it perfectly clear that you must pick up your cross and follow him. All these people who are telling you yes are deceiving you. They are the Pharisee Christians so don't listen to them. That is one of the reason Jesus got onto them. They believe in God, but they did not follow the laws of God. Instead they put themselves in God shoes and made themselves to be God.
Reply:Yes. One must also repent of sin first.
Prayer for Salvation: Jesus Christ is the Son of God. If we have invited Jesus to come and live within us and be the Lord of our lives then our inheritance in the future kingdom is assured.
God's word says in John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
In order to invite Jesus to be your Savior and Lord, you must believe in you heart that He is the Son of God, believe that He died upon the cross of Calvary as an atonement for your wrong doings, and believe that He arose from death and the grave. We must confess and repent of our sins and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. If you have never done this then stop right now and pray this prayer.
Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus repenting and asking forgiveness of all my sins. Your Word says, "whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10. "If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved" I do that now. I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I am a Christian ..a child of Almighty God! I am saved!
You are now an heir to the Kingdom of God! Your future is assured. I want to encourage you to find a church in your local area to attend. Tell someone that you have just received Jesus as your Lord. Than start digging into God's Word.
"I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day" (2 Timothy 1:12

Almost anybody can be a Christian the Clergy and the Preachers have a way to make you a Christian in no time, but Jesus was telling everybody that only very few of them will make it into Heaven... the rest will sizzle in Hell for ever and ever. You must remember that “salvation” is a fair weather deal in the Bible. It is not applicable to anybody in peril of his/her life. To be “saved” in the Bible involves a well defined personal effort accepting the claims of the person doing the salvation. In real life such a person in peril of his/her life may not be in condition to answer questions or to cooperate in the least with the savior and the savior must do all the work of salvation if he/she is serious about “saving” anybody! NOT SO IN THE BIBLE STORIES!!!
Matthew 7:13-14 (Jesus said) "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and ONLY A FEW FIND IT.
Jesus NEVER made it easy for anybody to find the small gate and narrow road. And of the “ONLY FEW WHO FIND IT”… not all of them will be able to get in... Good conduct has nothing to do with “finding the narrow door” to Heaven!
Luke 13:23-24 (NIV) Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because MANY, I tell you, WILL TRY TO ENTER AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO* (*Isn’t God the Son Jesus Christ a first class teaser?).
The few who find the small gate and narrow road to Heaven need to hate their own family and everybody else in the world to follow Jesus! Never mind that the 10 Commandments say, “Thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother!”…
Matthew 10:34-37 niv
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn
“'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
your enemies will be the members of your own household.' "ANYONE WHO LOVES THEIR FATHER OR MOTHER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME; ANYONE WHO LOVES A SON OR DAUGHTER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.
So much for the PRINCE OF PEACE…!!!
Luke 14:26 (NIV) Jesus Christ said, "If anyone comes to me and does not HATE* (*Greek=”miseo”=to abhor!) his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:33 (NIV) In the same way, ANY OF YOU WHO DOES NOT GIVE UP EVERYTHING HE HAS CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
Most Christians today don’t stop like Saint Peter did to reflect on the possibility that they might be phony Christians…
Mark 10:28-30 (NIV) Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!" "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,"* (*duck!) Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children* (*the SOB Bible writers are promoting the total neglect and rejection of child support!) or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a HUNDRED TIMES as much in this present age [RIGHT NOW!!!] homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with them, persecutions* (*from former abandoned wives and children! Spiritually speaking, of course! Hard core Christians ignore a lot of Jesus’ rules that they need to follow to go to Heaven when they die!) and in the age to come, eternal life. (TRUE! Most preachers are making a considerable fortune preaching the Gospel…! The rest are the “dedicated” more gullible not so lucky ones just content to make a living on it!)
Plus…
Matthew 18:8 (NIV) Jesus Christ said, "If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you TO ENTER LIFE maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire."
Apparently, there isn’t going to be any cripple person in Hell! Not only that, but according to God the Son Jesus Christ many Christians ought to consider plain castration for the “kingdom sake” (Check “castrati” on Wikipedia!)… Sweet Jesus recognizes such efforts and hints his approval in spite of the fact that God the Father in Heaven said that no eunuch will come near him! So there will be segregation in Heaven, but what the heck Jesus is that counts!
Matthew 19:12b (KJV) (Jesus said)…and there be eunuchs* (*castrated guys), which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Nobody beats the Bible writers at Jesus making political promises payable in this lifetime if you wish to follow him! The acid test comes when Jesus finds out that you are neither hot nor cold and he pukes you out of his Holy Belly (Rev 3:16). Just to make sure that you understand that this opportunity of going to Heaven is a one shot deal, the Bible writers are saying that only a dog goes back to eat its own vomit! But what the heck! Christians are trained to love Jesus, anyway!
Most preachers today poach verses here and there to make Christianity palatable to everybody. All that you hear now is that Jesus wants to make you rich and healthy so most of the stinky crap in the Bible is ignored!

Luke 14:33 (NIV) In the same way, ANY OF YOU WHO DOES NOT GIVE UP EVERYTHING HE HAS CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
Most Christians today don’t stop like Saint Peter did to reflect on the possibility that they might be phony Christians…
Mark 10:28-30 (NIV) Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!" "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,"* (*duck!) Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children* (*the SOB Bible writers are promoting the total neglect and rejection of child support!) or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a HUNDRED TIMES as much in this present age [RIGHT NOW!!!] homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with them, persecutions* (*from former abandoned wives and children! Spiritually speaking, of course! Hard core Christians ignore a lot of Jesus’ rules that they need to follow to go to Heaven when they die!) and in the age to come, eternal life. (TRUE! Most preachers are making a considerable fortune preaching the Gospel…! The rest are the “dedicated” more gullible not so lucky ones just content to make a living on it!)
Plus…
Matthew 18:8 (NIV) Jesus Christ said, "If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you TO ENTER LIFE maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire."
Apparently, there isn’t going to be any cripple person in Hell! Not only that, but according to God the Son Jesus Christ many Christians ought to consider plain castration for the “kingdom sake” (Check “castrati” on Wikipedia!)… Sweet Jesus recognizes such efforts and hints his approval in spite of the fact that God the Father in Heaven said that no eunuch will come near him! So there will be segregation in Heaven, but what the heck Jesus is that counts!
Matthew 19:12b (KJV) (Jesus said)…and there be eunuchs* (*castrated guys), which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Nobody beats the Bible writers at Jesus making political promises payable in this lifetime if you wish to follow him! The acid test comes when Jesus finds out that you are neither hot nor cold and he pukes you out of his Holy Belly (Rev 3:16). Just to make sure that you understand that this opportunity of going to Heaven is a one shot deal, the Bible writers are saying that only a dog goes back to eat its own vomit! But what the heck! Christians are trained to love Jesus, anyway!
Most preachers today poach verses here and there to make Christianity palatable to everybody. All that you hear now is that Jesus wants to make you rich and healthy so most of the stinky crap in the Bible is ignored!

How can I tell people no children are invited to our wedding?
My and my soon to be hubby, have decided we do not want children at our wedding. Neither of us have children and don't really have the budget for to include them either. We were planning on putting on the invites "Please make other arrangements for children under the age of 16" or something along those lines. Would that please a clear indicator that no children are invited. Also I have been reading some wedding etiquette books and it says you should not put that on your invites.What do you think?
How can I tell people no children are invited to our wedding?
Just so you know, there will be adults who will feel unincluded and may chose to sit it out, especailly if they don't get a lot of family time. Don't take it personally, but if I was invited, I wouldn't come.
Reply:Well, if you don't want children at your wedding then don't have them there. I mean after all it is your wedding day and if you don't have the extra money for kids to be there then you have to do what you have to do! If you don't want to put it in your invited then just have it stated on something else, but put it along in the envelope with the invites. Also, everything doesn't have to be done traditionally. If you really want to have that written in your invites just so people really get the message then go ahead and do so. Everybody does things differently. Whatever you decide to do just make sure people know above all else that you don't want kids at your wedding so there will be no confusion about that on your special day. I hope you have a beautiful wedding day and good luck to your new future with your soon to be hubby!
Reply:Etiquette is a lovely ideal, but it never ever works how it is intended in this situation. People inevitably will RSVP for themselves plus the kiddies so you do need to give some additional instructions.
In addition to addressing the invites to "Mr %26amp; Mrs" and put John %26amp; Jane on the inner envelope as well (if you have an inner envelope), you will need to say something to get the point across. Also, start preparing people know and let word get out that your wedding will be "no kids". Don't keep it secret and hope the invite sets everyone straight (its not likely).
Your wording might be taken as a bit harsh so I suggest that you have the invites made out with the words "Adults Only" printed somewhere on it or "Adults Only Reception To Follow at ....". Most people won't bring the kid to the ceremony if they aren't invited to the reception.
Reply:I'd go with the etiquette book on this one. You're supposed to take care of this by the way you address your invites. If the invite says:
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
Sally and Sam Doe
123 Nowhere Street
Anywhere USA 12345
Then children are invited.
If the invite only says:
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
123 Nowhere Street
Anywhere USA 12345
With no mention of the children on the inner envelop either - then they are supposed to get the hint that it's a "no children" affair. Maybe you could also try using word of mouth, but I don't think you should explicitly put anything on the invitation about "no children."
Reply:Its not necessary to write that on the invitations if you have an evening wedding. People will know that it's black tie and children aren't invited unless you specifically mention them. Just put the names of the invited adults on the inner envelope. If anyone calls you to ask (and they probably won't) then you can tell them that you only invited people aged 16 and up. We did the same thing and it worked out fine. Everyone understood and no one complained.
Reply:You're going to find that's a controversial question with people planning a wedding. Some people think it's rude not to involve the entire family, others think that it's logistically reasonable.
My best piece of advice if you want to do it politely is to address the invites Mr. %26amp; Mrs. Doe. That's an indicator children are not welcome. Then you use the power of word of mouth to let people know it's an adult only wedding/reception. Then if people RSVP for more than 2 you just nicely call and explain the wedding is for adults only.
Reply:Usually what most people do in this situation is write, "Adult Only Reception." That usually gets the point across - and of course you don't add the childrens names anywhere on the invitation.
You have to realize that sometimes no matter how blunt you are people don't get it or think that they are the acceptation. You might come across some RSVP cards where they are have RSVP'd for themselves as well as their children. This is when you have to get on the phone and make some awkward calls - but it happens.
Reply:Whatever you do, some people will be "offended"...
Are you putting your reception information on the invitation? If you're doing a separate reception invitation, put it there. I don't know how effective it would be to put it on the RSVP cards... I don't know if people actually read them.
I do like wording it please make other arrangements in stead of NO... it's much softer sounding.
The hard thing about etiquette books is that times they are a changin'...
Reply:I think that it is great that the other answers think that people will get the hint, but I fear they must have limited exposure to the public at large. Some people need to be hit over the head with a hammer before they get it. I think "Adult only reception" should get the point across explicitly and concisely.
Reply:Despite etiquette dictating how to address the invitations, not all your guests will read the etiquette books. You're better off putting something like "Adults Only Reception" either on the invitation or the reply card.
Reply:Just make a sign outside the chapel, That says you have to be this tall to enter with an arrow and a ruler. Like they have at amusement parks, nobody can argue if theirs a sign.
Reply:You can say:
Due to the formal nature of this event, we are unable to accommodate children under the age of 16.
Or have a evening wedding (8pm) where most parent will know not to bring kids..
Reply:Just simply state "Adult only Wedding and Reception" on the invites. On the wedding website list that its 16+
Reply:16 is too old to turn away unless you plan on having a rated R or X booze party of a reception.
Reply:On the bottom of your invitation put
Adult Wedding %26amp; Reception
Reply:On your response cards it should read "Adult only reception"
Reply:MAN JUST BE FRANK AND HONEST TELL THEM NO KIDS! orrrrrrrr
Have near a chuck e cheez so the brats have something to do.
Reply:You don't mention so much as exclude it on the invitations.
The rules are, if children are invited, the invitation will read "and family." If you address the invitations to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, people are to assume that kids are not invited.
However, you'll still have those idiots that decide to "write in" their kids, or call you up and ask. In that case, you simply respond, "This is an adult-only wedding, as there was limited seating at the venue. I hope you understand." Some people will get offended, and they either won't come or get over it. Most people will be fine with it.
Just be prepared for a little drama, but don't give those people two second of thought. Just accept it and move on.
We're having an adult-only wedding as well, and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Kids are too unpredictable.
EDIT: bognagles: that makes no sense. My fiance and I are NOT planning on having kids. Nowhere in any vow does it say that kids are a mandatory thing when you get married. How ridiculous! The vows are about your commitment to each other.
Reply:seeing as your entering into a commitment where you vow to settle down and start a family together, it seems kind of unfitting to have a childless celebration. thats why tour wedding etiquette book says not to.
but if thats what you want, then do it. just write the name of the adults on the invites, that will imply that their children are unwelcome.

Who ever think they are vampires here's a special invite to you!?
hello i'm unknown and i'm sending an invite out to all those people who think there vampires and i warn sect and criticizers to stay away because i want answers not bullshit about how they don't excites so i personal invite vampires into my life and to help me discover the truth about there mysteries
Who ever think they are vampires here's a special invite to you!?
1. There are no real vampires. Cut and paste time, as it is too much work to type this out over and over so here goes. A brief discussion of the human digestive system and then the probable vampire population given an exponential growth rate should explain why vampires are not possible.
2. Vampires do not exist. Period. The human body is not designed to process large amounts of blood for nutrition. There is not enough protein, carbohydrates, and fats present in blood to maintain a complex creature such as Homo Sapiens or any theorized offshoot mutations. When a human ingests food it is first broken up by chewing, then churned up in the stomach with digestive juices to form a bolus called chyme. It then passes into the small intestine where it mixes with bile salts which continue breaking it down on a molecular basis, mostly affecting fats at this point. The broken down nutrients pass through the wall of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they are carried to each cell or stored for later use. Indigestible bulk continues through the intestines, turning a dark brown from the bile. Water is absorbed from this mass in the large intestine depending on the needs of the body - a well-hydrated person will usually have a softer stool than a dehydrated person will. Water also enters the bloodstream, and this is what helps to maintain blood pressure. The pressure tends to balance itself in a healthy person because the bloodstream goes through a formation in the kidney called the Loop of Henle, where the narrowing blood vessel forces excess water and cellular waste such as urea out through the cellular wall into the kidneys, where it is excreted through the ureters into the bladder, and then out of the body via the urethral passageway.
3. IMPORTANT - A person physically unable to process his own food for nutrition therefore also could not process blood - it's the same process. Ingested blood does not transmit directly to the veins anyway - it would be chemically broken down by the digestive system.
4. Theoretical ingestion of blood to supply these nutrients would therefore have to occur at least once a day, and would require the ingestion of the entire blood supply which could not happen as the stomach is far too small to hold that much liquid volume. Furthermore, such a mass would be difficult to pass thru the intestines as it has no fibrous bulk, would create an intestinal impaction, causing massive vomiting from the large concentration of iron present, and any "real" vampire would have to eventually expel the waste, which would come out as a black, tarry, smelly goo.
5. These humans that affect the whole "vampiric lifestyle" are NOT vampires. They are simply humans playing their own little game, in their own little fantasy world, usually pandering to their own little sexual fetish, which may or may not actually be sexual. I too, play my own little game, in the SCA, but mine is a game where the deeds that I do are determined by the strength of my arm and sword - I am a warrior, with just as much skill and ability as any warrior of ancient times. The difference is that I am claiming to be something physically possible: a warrior, and I prove it everytime I strap on my armor and walk onto a SCA battlefield. The so-called "vampires" are claiming to be something physically impossible: a walking corpse, and all they prove is that black Victorian clothing, a pair of false fangs, and a little makeup make for a good Halloween costume - it does not make you a vampire.
6. Even if a vampire feeds once a week, and his victim also becomes a vampire, that is exponential growth, with four iterations a month. First iteration: One makes one, total two. Second iteration: Two make two, total four. Third iteration: Four make four, total eight. Fourth iteration: Eight make eight, total sixteen. 16 vampires at the end of one month, 256 at the end of the second month, 4096 by the end of the third month, 65,536 by the end of the fourth month, 1,048,476 at the end of the fifth, and 33,572,832 vampires at the end of half a year! By way of comparison, there are currently approximately 33 million people who have HIV/AIDS, and that is a world-wide epidemic. Do the math - vampires are a mathematical impossibility. This falls therefore, under the logic of Occam's Razor - which states that when you have removed every impossible answer, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Since there is no "vampiric plague" swarming the earth, the logical deduction is that they don't exist.
7. Point of clarification about "vampire" bats: vampire is simply the name we have given them because they do drink blood, same as a flea, mosquito, or spider. Are these creatures vampires? No. They are living creatures, not legendary monsters. Drinking blood does not make you a vampire anymore than eating raw meat makes you a werewolf, although it might make you a mosquito.
8.The humans who profess to be vampires are victims of an all-encompassing self induced delusion. They are as human as you or I, regardless of their claims, and if they ingest HIV tainted blood they can most certainly contract the disease, esp. if they have any cuts, sores, or lesions in and or around their mouth. It is a very dangerous delusion to be laboring under. Note that there is absolutely no scientific or medical proof that these people derive any benefit at all from the ingestion of blood, and even worse are the so-called "psychic" vampires, because their delusion is one that they cannot substantiate with any concrete evidence at all.

Columbia University invites Iran's President to speak and then insults him during the introduction?
Is this the way we let other countries express their freedom of speech?
Columbia University invites Iran's President to speak and then insults him during the introduction?
If the University invited him then it should extend to him the courtesy due to a guest however abhorrent his views may be to many. If it could not do that it should not have invited him.
Reply:Oh, I get it now: Ahmadinejad should be able to insult Americans while standing before the UN, or before our students at a major university, but we should treat him with the utmost respect. That makes sense how ... ? Report Abuse
Reply:President Ahmadinejad was told beforehand that the University had some difficult questions for him. The President was also told that he would receive no support from the listeners gathered there that day. The fact that he chose to show up means he felt any possible insults that would be hurled at him were outweighed by the chance to speak to the American people.
Reply:Columbia's president was bowing to public pressure. I'd love to know how many alumina canceled their gifts or threaten. As much as I disagree with Iran's president. I thought it pretty rude as well. I think he could have done the same thing in a more subtle way because M.A. was not going to pay any attention to it and actually turned it against him. After all no one has said the guy is not smart.
Reply:Yeah, that was rude... The truth often is.
Reply:When your guest is going to deny that a holocaust ever took place with the Jews, but claims his people have suffered years of holocaust, I suppose you expect everyone to stand by and listen intently.
Like any political figure in any nation ever tells the truth.
We all know that the leaders of these countries spew forth lies faster than our auto makers can produce cars, so I'd never expect to hear anything that even resembles a truth.
As far as insults go, I guess you didn't hear what the Iranian leader had to say about the US, or any other nation that actually elects its leaders, but I guess that he was speaking the truth then.
By the way though, didn't he still have the opportunity to make his speech? You've never heard anyone insult one of our American leaders?
That's why teachers in this nation should still be allowed to "knock" these students back to consciousness, because apparently they're still sleeping through everything.....
Reply:That guy took so much heat for inviting Ahmandinijad that he did what he had to do to save his job. By the way, he should still be fired in my opinion.
Reply:The United States has always been an environment of hypocrisy. Land of the free yet it was stolen from it's rightful owners. Slavery is abolished yet people are homeless and at the mercy of a new master. Master of poverty. It would be nice if the US had an open mind on world politics and took in account the cultures of other societies before jumping the gun with their assumptions. It really is too bad that we will probably go to war with Iran because of our ignorant, arrogant and pompous demeanor.
Please do not take these words the wrong way. I love America! I just know that we could be a better world leader and role model.

My parenst want to invite this person to my party and i dont?
my parenst want to invite these ppl to my graduation party and i dont. hes like a friend they make me hang out with, otherwise i dont care all that much for him. i told them that i wanted my best friend and a few others there, then my family and thats it. they dont want t o do taht. i told them how i feel but they wont listen. help!!!
My parenst want to invite this person to my party and i dont?
If you've told them how you feel and they still insist on having people there that you don't really want, then there isn't much you can do. You can try talking to them again and reminding them that this is your graduation party and you would appreciate it if they would respect your wishes - but that doesn't mean they will listen.
If you have to deal with the unwanted people then just do it - it will only be for the evening and it might not be so bad. Maybe have a couple of your close friends sleep over that night that way you get some time to hang out with them alone.
Reply:Tell them that you don't get along with that person and that he hates you too, and that it is your party.
Reply:hopefully they'll give you a nice present.
Reply:Its your party and should be able to invite who you want throw a temper tantrum or threaten that you will not show up at your own party if they invite him see if that works if not the just ignore him and them all night
Reply:If he never did anything to you there should not be an issue. On the other hand, if he did or touched you in a way u did not like, let it be known.
Your Graduation Party is your day, so be happy and let your mother live (smile).

How about inviting the interviewer to have the dinner together?
It will be the time for dinner when the interview ends.
How about inviting the interviewer to have the dinner together?
I am preparing a interview for mid-level sales manager position.
Do you think it is a good way to show my positive attitude?
or does it bring any negative effects?
thanks
How about inviting the interviewer to have the dinner together?
Bad idea. Don't do it.
Reply:If the interviewer does not want to go, he\she will feel awkward refusing. You don't want that awkward feeling to be the last thing he\she feels. Also, the interviewer may think you are hitting on him\her, and could not hire you to prevent sexual harrassment. The best thing you could do, is end on a high note (think of george in seinfeld!) Come across as very genuine and real when you leave, and say something like 'well, thank you for seeing me, it was really nice talking to you' you could get more creative, but you want to come across as personable. Wish you the best of luck!
Reply:No, it is not a good idea. Should the interviewer ask YOU to interview at, say a restaurant or coffee shop, then you can say yes but inviting the interviewer to dinner AFTER the interview ends is a no-no. It will appear as though you are trying to influence his or her decision.

Why would my ex invite me to her party, i don't get it?
We went out for 1 year 1 month then she broke up with me b/c she lost her feelings for me, ever since we've been avoiding each other at school and not talk to each other; as if like we hate each other in a sense.
She has a new bf kinda would make it awkward if i show up...so i don't get it why would she still invite me?

Go if you want, but bring a date.

3. But don't try to get personal n don't ask her y did she invite u.. take all this CASUALLY%26gt;
Just GO if u feel like going%26gt;%26gt; If not probably u will keep thinking that she did make an effort to be friends n u LOST it..
Reply:make you jealous??
Reply:It's difficult to answer as you don't say what type of character she has or how old you both are. If she is generally friendly and kind, then perhaps she wants to mend some bridges and be friends. If she has a darker side, perhaps she wants to make you feel jealous and show you how she's moved on successfully.
Why don't you take another girl and prove that you have moved on too?

Hi, is there anyway i can get a demonoid.com invite code?
im really need a code or when will they be open for new registrations..
thx for any help
Hi, is there anyway i can get a demonoid.com invite code?
You missed 3 days of open registration that ended on the 9th Nov. along with another day that ended on the 1st Dec, there may have been more but they're the ones I noticed.
Open Registration days can be any day of the week, are not necessarily every month and can last hours or days.
I'd advise you to check http://demonoid.com EVERY day and eventually you will get there.
Please try and keep your share ratio above 1.1 when you get in.
Reply:http://privatetrackers.net - You can donate or get involved with the forums and earn an invite.... Which ever you choose, Good luck!
Reply:people do sell them
but mostly u just have to find someone willing to get u one =\

Was it wrong to invite all the people I work with?
I have been working in this office for alost a year. I am the youngest girls here. (there are onyl 3 females) but I have seemed to have formed great relationships witht these guys, And i love them all so much, its like having 20 fathers! :-) But thats the reason Iove my job. So I planned on inviting them all since there would only be a few I wouldnt invite, it seemed rude to leave just a few people out. But I am doing a count now (because we are over 100 people right now) And everyone I asked so far doesnt think they will be able to make it. It is an hour away. But I am still hurt that they dont want to come...I mean I know thats silly and I completely understand why they wouldnt and i dont want them to feel obligated. So now I am going to feel real stupid handing out the invitations, knowing most of them plan on not coming. Even the ones I was sure would. Was it stupid to ask everybody?
Was it wrong to invite all the people I work with?
I don't think it was stupid of you to ask. When I got married, I only wanted to invite a couple of people from my office, but I felt it would be rude to invite some, but not all. I decided to hand out invitations to everyone of my co-workers. I also knew that most of them would not come, nor did I want them to. It was more of a polite formality between two parties. Many people, even if they are friendly while at work, do not consider work relationships to necessarily span out into private life. However, it never hurts to be nice. I think you did the right thing.
Reply:if you get some to come and have a great time then count it as a success.
and quit beating yourself up that many are busy ... other people have a life and responsibilities.
Reply:Nope
Reply:No, it wasn't stupid to ask - in fact you were smart to include everyone. And try not to feel too hurt that they aren't attending. Coworker weddings are an interesting balancing act. They probably don't want to hurt you any more than you don't want anyone to feel left out. And since you are working with that many men... I'm sorry if this sounds sexist, but most men in my experience just aren't the kind to enjoy weddings.
It sounds like you haven't sent out the invites yet. If that's the case, you have a few options:
1) You give everyone the invitations and kind of expect a certain number of people not to be able to make it. That way no one feels left out, but you will be spending the money on the invitations.
2) If you are truly comfortable with these people, ask them honestly if they think they would attend. Give invitations to those who seem interested and give announcements to those who don't. Again, no one is left out that way.
3) Give everyone announcements.
Reply:It was okay to ask everyone because only 7 out of 10 will show on average. Don't worry about the head count just trust God that things will work out perfectly.
Reply:Not at all. It's the nice thing to do. Every one is equally invited and that is the right thing to do. Pass them an invitation, and let them know if they change their mind, the offer is on the table.
Reply:Naaa, just sounds like to me you throwing a sausage fest. Guys hate going to partyies with the majority of guys there. If you want the guys to go, invite more females make it even, not a sausage fest. Invite the hottest female friends you have and trust me they will go. Hey if you get more female friends to go invite me.
Reply:no. it was kind of you to invite your co-workers. when you invite people (in general), you should always keep in mind the possibility that they cannot accept your invitation. sure it's disappointing but you shouldn't take it personal. i'm sure that they were flattered that you wanted them to share your special occassion with you. remember, men typically don't go to weddings if they are not dragged along by their girlfriends/wives. don't worry about it. you'll have plenty to worry about while planning the wedding.
Reply:I think that is awesome that you invited everyone I to am getting married ( 2 1/2 weeks ) and I wanted so badly to invite everyone I work with I to get along with all of my coworkers but I already have a guest list of over 250 coming so I was not able to but I think it was not silly at all it was very kind and generous of you and I think you should still give them the invite and let them know that if they are able even at last minute you would love to have them there to share your day !! ( the cater always adds some just in case so don't worry about that ) !! O and if financially possible you might offer to pay for a rental van and the ones who wish to attend but don't want to make the drive can come complety on your dime and that makes it a little easier on them !!
Just some some of my ideas
Hope this helps
Hope you have the wedding of your dreams and an even better future !!
Reply:no its not stupid its polite. i would have done the same. i would still have the party though.
Reply:No at least they know that you like them as friends maybe you can offer an incentive if they drive that far
Reply:You were not wrong in inviting your co-workers. Don't feel bad that most won't be coming, an hour away is kind of far. Just mail the invitations to them, don't hand them out, that's a big etiquette no no. They can RSVP just like everyone else. And some of them may change their mind and come after all.
Reply:No it was not stupid to ask.
You seem to worry how people would feel if you did not invite them and that makes you a good person.
No one likes the feeling of being left out.
So what you did was commendable.
Reply:No it was not stupid. It was very polite of you to ask everyone. Who knows they may reconsider and come anyway and also, they might get you gifts.
Reply:Attending a wedding is generally reserved for people fairly close to you...friends and family...asking most (or all) of your coworkers may come across as trying to get more gifts...
Reply:invite them to what? your brothers cousins aunts ex husbands son's graduation party? no one from your work cares about that lil guy
Reply:I think it was not only polite, but considerate to ask everybody so that nobody would feel left out. And you shouldn't feel "stupid" handing out the invitations- you've done your part now the ball is in their court.
Reply:No you were not stupid in asking. You wanted to have them celebrate your happiness. Mail the invitations to them like you are others invitations. Put a note inside saying you are aware that they are not able to attend, but that you wanted them to know that you would have been honored to have them attend. Thank them for their friendship and let it end there. Also, let them know that you had just wanted them to come for celebration purposes, not for gifts, so that they don't feel as though they have to send a gift. No you were not silly in wanting to invite them, I wish I had worked in a place that I would have wanted my co-workers to attend. The place I worked I didn't want them anywhere near my wedding or reception.
Reply:no you work with them and you have to see them like everyday so really if you don't invite them they might get angry
Reply:It's a courtesy for you to hand out these invitations, so don't feel hurt that not all of them can make it!
Reply:Don't feel stupid or embarrased about inviting people you know can't come. It was great of you to give them the opportunity. Just be glad that they aren't all coming because that can get really expensive.
I didn't invite any of my co-workers (except for ones that were my friends before I worked there, and I told them to be discreet about coming). I wish I could have invited them all, but my fiance and I decided together that we were keeping the wedding small and intimate.
Reply:Most want to keep work away from social. Too much drama can result.
Hand out the invitations I hope RSVP.
Reply:Don't be so hurt. Many people only attend weddings when they know the person very well. You said you have been at that job less than a year-- that's not very long, really.

Reply:It's a courtesy for you to hand out these invitations, so don't feel hurt that not all of them can make it!
Reply:Don't feel stupid or embarrased about inviting people you know can't come. It was great of you to give them the opportunity. Just be glad that they aren't all coming because that can get really expensive.
I didn't invite any of my co-workers (except for ones that were my friends before I worked there, and I told them to be discreet about coming). I wish I could have invited them all, but my fiance and I decided together that we were keeping the wedding small and intimate.
Reply:Most want to keep work away from social. Too much drama can result.
Hand out the invitations I hope RSVP.
Reply:Don't be so hurt. Many people only attend weddings when they know the person very well. You said you have been at that job less than a year-- that's not very long, really.

I really want to invite my gf's family including my gf to dinner round my but i dont know how to organise it
It's a nice touch if you invite the family yourself instead of having your girlfriend extend the invite to them. Tell them what you plan on having at the meal in case one of them is allergic or can't stand a certain food. Serve simple food that won't be messy to eat: chilli, spaghetti, stew, or even grilled hamburgers and brats. The important thing to remember is to make them feel welcomed and relaxed...and absolutely no alcohol unless you're positive no one will get drunk.
I really want to invite my gf's family including my gf to dinner round my but i dont know how to organise it
pick a sat early afternoon or so and do something kind of easy a pot luck, or have spagetti, salad and bread with a nice wine. don't go crazy or you'll be so frazzeled YOU won't be at ease and if you are stressed so will your guests. you can do it and remember that she loves you for you. I also like fondu(?) have some cheese, meat ,bread and fruit, but honestly the Itilian dinner is easiest and everyone likes one of the dishes

How do you get a friend from constantly inviting to spend your money?
This women has no job and I am not certain if she has ever worked. Her husband is a hard charger at work and I am self sufficient, however, I want the choice of how my money is spent and for whom and with whom. I am conscious of her feelings.
How do you get a friend from constantly inviting to spend your money?
tell them that its your money, not theirs and that your going to spend it on what you want because you worked for it and she should get a job if she wants the ability to spend money, not just take advantage of her friends self earned cash so that she can live a great life of not working. she need to mature just a little. stand up for yourself
Reply:Why are you giving her the authority to do that? Tell her that that her ideas seem good, but they do not interest you now.
Reply:JUST SAY NO!!!!it is not as hard as you think
Reply:she has **** fo brains

Was I rude to invite others?
I got a call from a buddy of mine the other night about a poker night he's putting on. during the conversation I asked him if it was alright if I brought two friends along with me. He doesn't really know them and he kind of hesitated and hummed and hawed when I asked. Now he's saying he might not be having it after all. I think I may have put him on the spot when I asked. Anyways, my question is...is it rude, or does it go against party etiquette, to invite other people along when only I was invited?
Was I rude to invite others?
You asked, you didn't demand. When he hemmed and hawed you probably should have taken that as a clue and backed out yourself. But you did nothing wrong.
Reply:Actually, unless your friend specifically mentioned bringing others along it was probably not right to ask to bring others. Maybe he intended to only have a few people and felt put on the spot.
Reply:It is not rude at all. It is actually a way for all your friends to expand the circle they live in. However, if he hawed about it you should have realized that he did not want anyone else but you to go. You should have retracted your question and said something like hay it no big deal I would love to come they don鈥檛 need to come too. You never know what is going on in his mind; your invite may have ruined his plans of having just a few close friends over. Good luck.
Reply:Well, it sounded like maybe your friend had a set amount of people he wanted in the game. So you unintentionally put him on the spot.
It's only rude to invite additional guests without asking the host first. What you did was not rude. If he wasn't comfortable with it, he should have just said, "Actually, the game is full already, but we'll try to get your friends into the next one."
Reply:Don't invite other people to come places with you. If he wanted more than just you there, he would have asked if you had any friends that might want to play too. As it was, he probably already had enough people for a good game and didn't need any more players.
Reply:Inviting others is far different than requesting if others may attend.
As a general rule you should only ask if another can attend in certain circumstances such as
- the person is your significant other
- is visiting you that day
- you have already made plans with the person that day.
It can be putting somebody on the spot. Extra people to accommodate,more refreshments, more space and more work.
It is best not to ask, if you would like to include people or have the mingle with people outside their general peer circle, you hold the gathering.
It generally does go against etiquette to ask in certain situations, and it most definitely does to arrive with unannounced guest which you have invited.
Reply:Yes, it is against party etiquette to invite other people whom the host dosen't know and have no intention of inviting. By suggesting it, you are putting him on a spot which they don't like. He said they are not having it after all to shake you off rather than tell you you can't bring the 2 friends along. What you did is a sure way to get yourself uninvited. What makes you think that your 2 friends can get along with this host and whether this host will like them? Don't do such a thing again.
Reply:It would have been rude to just show up with the unexpected guests, so I don't think you were rude, per say. But card games can be touchy. If it were a regular party it would have been fine. But at card games, you're dealing with people's money, sometimes there's only so much room at the table, and some people think "friends" at the table can influence the game. Most people would have just let you know either way when you asked, but I think your buddy just doesn't have many social skills.
If it was a closed party, or he could only accomodate a certain number of people, then he should have said, "Maybe next time, we've already got enough to fill the seats," instead of getting all uncomfortable for no reason. Now he's going to stop the party, or lie to you about stopping the party, and all he had to do was just answer a question. Poor thing, bless his heart, I'm sure he didn't mean for it to turn into this big thing...
To make it good this time, just call him up and say your two friends called you and said they had something else come up, and you wanted to know if you could still come for the game. Next time, maybe you should pose your question in a way that he can comfortably say no. Something, like, "Is it an open game? Have you already got enough people, or can I bring some friends?"
Reply:I think you did the right thing by asking him. You gave him enough respect to ask. I mean you didnt just show up at his house with extra people in tow. You asked which was the right thing to do. Id just tell him, I dont have to bring these people thats why I was asking if it was ok to. If you say I shouldnt all is still good.
Reply:Not rude. You asked him and he said ok. If he didn't want any one else there he should have so. Poker/game nights are often casual...at least with my friends...and it's usually a more the merrier type attitude.
Perhaps you should have picked up on his hesitation and taken back your request to invite your friends...but really...how were you to know why he was hesitating.
Now...time to clear the air with him. Let him know that you really enjoy the poker games with him and wish he'd continue to host them. Also... if you made him uncomfortable or put him on the spot...that you're sorry...and ask that in the future he tells you straight up what he's thinking...that you'll understand.
Reply:I don't know about rude...but you should have thought about the question before asking it. He probably isn't comfortable playing poker around someone he doesn't know. At least you didn't just bring them and not ask. If he didn't want them to come, I'm sure he could have just said so and you'd understand. Maybe he didn't like being put on the spot though.
Reply:Actually, contrary to quite obviously popular belief based on readin your other answers, it's very rude to invite others along to a party. Especially if the person who invited you doesn't know the people you want to bring. It's nice that you asked first, but even presuming you could bring some friends along was pretty rude on your part.
Reply:Strictly speaking, it's rude to ask to bring others along to an invitation-only party unless asked to do so by the host. It would probably have been better for you to firstly ask if he had enough numbers for the night, and then offer to fill the gaps with your friends.
There could be a myriad of reasons he doesn't want two other unknown friends in his home, and you should respect that.
Reply:I don't think you were being rude at all. I think the only way I would had considered this rude is if you brought them anyways after he said no. At least you asked. =)
Reply:It was not rude of you to ask, in fact it was the polite thing to do. All he had to do was say no. Like the others said, it WAS a social gathering he was proposing, not a funeral. Now, if you would have just brought some friends without asking, that would have been rude.
I think you are reading too much into the situation. I don't think your question was offensive enough to cause him to call off the gathering. There may be numerous reasons for this.
Reply:No, you weren't rude so long as you asked permission instead of implying you were just going to do this (my husband and his friends do this all the time and it drives me nuts!).
What WOULD have been rude is to just invite your friends to poker night without even mentioning it to the host, or saying "great! I'll bring some friends!".
Reply:I wouldn't say rude - since you just wanted to bring more people to a poker game. The problem is:
1) he may have already had all the people for poker he wanted. 4-5 is good, 7-9 is too many.
2) he may not have felt comfortable with people he doesn't know playing poker. It is for money and some people can be very rude when playing.
So - I think it is against etiquette unless there is a good reason (i.e. my brother is in town, can he come too)
Reply:I don't think it is rude to ask if you can bring more people along. Especially for things like poker and games, it's usually "The more the merrier" not to mention a better jackpot if you're playing for money.
If you feel like asking may have influenced his decision to cancel the game, talk to him about it.
