Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

RIP Bobby Fischer. Gotta respect the skills even if it came with a boatload of crazy. I'm curious if medication that might have helped him would have inhibited his chess ability or not.

So, here's a random - Are we allowed to confine the divine in any way? Liminal spaces within which the divine resides and is not allowed out of?

Thoughts? Yes, it's for a work thing. Is this cheating?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

2 trips to the PO, 2 trips to a consulate office, 1 trip to a bank AND the money order was STILL wrong for a VISA I need to get. Luckily they let me pay the difference in cash. Also lucky that all of those stops were within 3 blocks of my office.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, a coworker just told me that an old document I gave her was "wrong," when in fact it was just not as detailed as she needs--because I don't need that much detail! Just for the record. Grrr.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Are we allowed to confine the divine in any way? Liminal spaces within which the divine resides and is not allowed out of?

I can think of places it's not allowed into: a courtroom, an operating theatre. Is that the kind of thing you're talking about?

Compassionately intolerant

Dropping in after missing 4000 posts (not even kidding) to pose a hivemind brainstorming question that is not half as interesting as Jars' limitation of the Divine question...which I'm thinking about...

A client has started a high end cleaning service but is finding it nearly impossible to find employees. She's leafleted, craigslisted, asked around the 'hood, employment agency surfed...

Any creative ideas for finding house cleaning service employee candidates?

Not exactly. I was thinking more in terms of actual worship, rather than everyday life. I'm really only coming at it from a western Christian perspective, where worship takes place in a church, but the God is everywhere. I was wondering if sometimes (say in polytheistic religions) the God(s) are entirely associated with one place, and not thought to be present away from there.

Crap. Now I have to leave work early as I'm getting a lift. But I will read people's ideas when I get home! Assuming people care about my ridiculous theoretical questions...
