Neil D Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Not one to embarrass someone too awful much, but because she seems fun to tease anyways.... Happy Birthday, Aldona! and incase you all don't know her profile....here it is... Birthday: November 22 Occupation: physician Hobbies: music, gardening, reading, thinking and being a troublemaker (oops, I meant activist) Location: On the outside, looking in I would like to say, I understand that problem with the studdering on the word activist/troublemaker...they are so close on the keyboard...so easy to [ahem] misplace the proper word... But I totally disagree with her on her location....Seems to me that she is more inside looking out......than many of us...

Woody Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Is the purpose of this thread to discuss Aldona? Well ... I would like to wish her a Happy Birthday and say that I am glad that she is here.

aldona Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Thank you all for your kind words!!! I'm at work, checking in on my lunch break. It's now Friday here in Australia so my birthday was "yesterday" our time... My husband and I have both been busy at work so we just had a quiet night in last night. The school that our church uses for worship is being used as a voting place in the election tomorrow, so with no church on Sabbath we might go for a nice drive in the countryside. Sometimes I feel that in the Body of Christ, I'm the appendix...one day I'm going to get too inflamed for my own good, and somebody will remove me... but meanwhile, just hanging around unsure of what my purpose is! Thank you to all at ClubAdventist for giving me such a great forum in which to run rampant.

Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted November 23, 2007 Moderators Posted November 23, 2007 Happy birthday, Aldona. Today is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. So we on C/A have a lot to be thankful for -- for you, Aldona! You're a great addition to this "family." Best wishes to a very important member!

Thank you to all at ClubAdventist for giving me such a great forum in which to run rampant. Aldona, take an inflamatory and come talk to me if you feel the need... Honestly, with your insight, I see you are far more on target describing the situation than many here...Don't you ever give up your troublesome ways! [and i mean that in the positive sense!] I am sure there are many prophets who felt the frustration of convincing people that they needed to change and think outside the box to avoid thier catastrophe(s)....That is why, I suspect that you are more likely inside God's box looking out, rather than outside thier box looking in...

Moderators Nan Posted November 23, 2007 Moderators Posted November 23, 2007 Sorry this is a belated wish Aldona....but I hope it was a good birthday. Would you have a holiday if you lived in the US, sometimes, if it was Thanksgiving. Keep on doing what you are doing here....you are one who forces us to look past the pat answers to the real questions. Quote

Woody Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Hey I didn't know that the word "Heck" was allowed on an Adventist Forum. I guess we only can use that term on a thread referring to Aldona. Does she get the exception??? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

nuff sed Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 I thought that we were not supposed to be 'nitpickers' on this forum. Evidently I was wrong.......... Quote
Woody Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Glad .... I resent this. I am not a nitpicker. I may be a nit-wit ... but definately not a nitpicker. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Does she get the exception??? (quoting an old episode of "Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman); "I'm not a lady! I'm a doctor!" Don't worry - when I worked in the labor ward in my ob/gyn resident days, I heard every curse word known to mankind, in all kinds of languages. Often from the most classy and sophisticated ladies (who would be terribly embarrassed and apologize profusely after the baby finally made its appearance! teehe I'm more likely to be offended by other things like racism or sexism, or other forms of man's inhumanity to man, than by the occasional bad word. aldona Quote www.asrc.org.au (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Melbourne)Helping over 2000 refugees & asylum seekers each monthIMSLP/Petrucci Music LibraryThe Public Domain Music Score Library - Free Sheet Music DownloadsLooking for classical sheet music?
