Glad to hear your feeling a lot better Skree.
And :\ - I just discovered that for some reason I can not tolerate fat on pork for example. I felt sick after like a sliver of it, normally I would be able to eat a lot of it and not feel sick. Somehow I am capable of eating less and less of the stuff as time goes past, which sucks cause it tastes good. Reminds me of when I was around six years old or so and I always wanted coca cola to drink, but if I drank more than few sips I would vomit. And I still wanted to drink it regardless, even shortly after throwing up.

Heh, ironically, when I was at my worst it was
because
of my religion. But yeah, today went well. No problems at school (completed a whole lot of Geometry in a relatively small timespan), and then this afternoon I went to help the Army run a rock wall at a charity event down at the civic center and got to eat a lot.
That's because you didn't believe yours ;)
But I'm glad to hear you're doing better today.
Just finished Storm Front. And it was awesome.
YES! YES YES YES!
They get even better.

Lol. My school's OdysseyWare software can be hilarious at times. It's horribly outdated for one thing (it talks about the year 2000 in the future tense; apparently the European Union has stated that January 1st will be the year the Euro will be instated, and Greece is not Eurozone member.), and on top of that, it's pretty obvious that it was written for a Christian school and has since had most of its religious references pruned off. Not all of them though. Was just reading about tourism in India for my economics class, and here's what they had to say about the Taj Mahal:
Created in 1623 by a monarch for his deceased wife, it is a monument that has been ranked as one of the world's greatest architectural feats. A tourist will see a myriad of Hindu temples that were built to honor false gods of every type. India is the birthplace of Hinduism.
So much for seperation of church and state... :P

Separation of Church and State does not mean what people think it does, nor is it in the Constitution.

Separation of Church and State does not mean what people think it does, nor is it in the Constitution.Yes it does, and yes it is, kinda.
The Constituation states that the government shall A) not endorse any religion any more than any other, and that B) no religious test shall be given for any public office (in other words, they can't say "Well, you're not a member of the favored religion(s), so you can't get this job). So saying leading a graduating class in prayer for a government funded school is right out, since that minoritizes nonbelievers. Likewise, to call the Hindu gods "false gods" in state sponsored literature is equally wrong. The state is best kept out of religious matters altogether, leaving religion to be privately practiced by whomever chooses to.
Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence and one of the Founding Fathers (even if he was in France during the actual Constitutional Convention), was the one who coined the phrase "wall of separation between church and state" in reference to the amendment.
Since then, the Supreme Court has upheld the principle again and again. Please remember that the Supreme Court is not just a bunch of sticklers who try to make everything harder for everyone. They represent the judiciary branch, which the Constitution establishes and appoints for its interpretation. If the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution to establish separation of church and states, then by law (set down
by
the Constitution) it does, until the Supreme Court reverses its ruling.

Being in a letter by Thomas Jefferson =/= the Constitution. I'm not saying it isn't authoritative, but it is NOT in the Constitution.
And I was also referring to something else, but nevermind.
