Dear Lord. Please grant the moderators patience and understanding. Do not let them ban Ask The threads, because of the abundance at this moment. Let them not get the itchy finger of thread death called locked. Let the flood pass as all things do in this world. Let the works of these men survive your judgment, so we may know your benevolence. Amen. Remember you will not receive a direct answer to this thread, because that ain’t the way God works. Recipient of awards by God are responsible for all state and federal taxes. By entering a request for God you agree to not hold said party responsible for any damages resulting in the grant of the request. This includes but is not limited to death, flooding, plagues, or any disaster declared an act of God. Disputes will be mediated in Purgatory in not more than 60 days from application of written complaint. ---

Dear Lord, Why haven’t you retired already? Palm Springs is kind of nice for people of you age and background. Do you play shuffleboard? Ever been on a cruise? For a one time payment of $99 I can get you all the way to Cazumel from Palm Springs. SSG Schwartz ---

Dear Mighty White Whiskered One, Ignore the postings of the blasphemous cretins who ask for material things in order that their miserable existence can be more comfortable, they deserve the squalor in which they wallow, befuddled with drink and other noxious substances. Ignore those who ask for women to date them, they have carnal thoughts in mind and if you were to grant them their wish they would soon forget about you. Verily I say unto you, grant to me, your most humble servant of them all, anything, anything at all just so long as it isn’t nasty. My e-mail is in my profile on the off chance you had your PC fixed since we last spoke. Amen ---
