    I do not want to be labeled as atheist.


    Stop being so silly. You are either theist or not theist.

    Near miss

    As a Safety Training Co-ordinator (STC) on a few off shore oil rigs I came across this piece of paperwork

    If you come close to having a accident but didn't (say you stumbled and almost fell but didn't) fill out a near miss

    Ummm - it was a miss

    Form should be Report Hazard form

    Especially if the object barely missing one another were two airplanes.
    You don't want that happening too often.

    I was just talking to an "older lady". By "older" I don't mean older than me. It occurs to me that I usually call somebody "older" rather than "old" because it seems more polite - like calling somebody "big" rather than "fat". But effectively, I'm saying that "older" is actually younger than "old".

    Older is all right, either way: 'older than me' or 'older than the hills'
    Personally, I'd rather be called old than elderly or senior, and far, far more than "seventy-two years young".
    In fact, the other crotchety old person and I have a classification for aging: vintage, codger, antique, dodder and decrepit. (we're both on the cusp of codger-to-antique)

    Don't like being called crotchety old barstard, or whatever. Forget about the age. Been like this since 18.

    An oldie - call me anything except late for breakfast

    Beg pardon?

    But taking it as a typo

    Does she have a temperature? NO could that be related to the the heart condition ie the heart not beating?

    By saying he in 1 & she in the other, I thought it was clear it is 2 different people. Dead bodies have temperatures until they decay enough that I would not call it a body.

    Not certain what you mean by typo. Every body has a temperature & every body has a heart condition.

    Or have you not heard silly people saying such?

    He first - she second - didn't pick that as 2 different people

    Heard

    He has heart condition - sure frequently. Then I ask and frequently unable to specify or mispronounce I ask for the medications or question about pacemaker

    Temperature asked by me- Asked with the implication it being elevated above what is thought of as normal

    There is no justice for the dead & the dead cannot be honored.

    If the airplane is going down and you have a chance to parachute to safety, do not hesitate to jump out.
    If the river is flooding and you see a Matisse floating by, do hesitate to rescue it.[/Pedant Hat]
