Scuba Forum / General / December 2004The best of the Season to y'all
Notice I didn't say Merry Christmas. That's purely in the interests of protecting the tender sensibilities of the many fragile egos hanging out here. 8) I haven't been around much lately so I've sorta lost touch with who's fighting with who and what the issues du jour are. I'll just catch up for a while before I leap into the fray again. I really just wanted to wish all my friends here the best of the season. Hope the Holidays are great for you and that the new year holds many wonderful things in store. Peace on all of you JOF > Notice I didn't say Merry Christmas.

Surely you jest! There's enough armor plating in here to outfit a company of humvee's. Merry Christmas to you and yours John. And to the rest of the bar, all the best for holidays and the new year.

We have something like that here. It's called a Mint Smoothie and is made by Rheo Thompson Chocolates right here in town. Some of you may have tried them both and can give us a comparison. I buy boxes of them to give out at Christmas and usually end up keeping a few of them around, for a very short time. JF >>>>? Merry CHRISTmas, the celebration of the birth of Christ.

Only by mistake! and certainly not biblicly! according to the bible ( and it isn'[t specific ) the best guess of christ's birthday is between late april and august. the roman catholic church used the festival of mishra to create christmas. just another example of the catolics renaming a pagan holiday. >> Merry CHRISTmas, the celebration of the birth of Christ.

Seems to me that a holiday that brings out as much decency in folks as Christmas seems to must have something going for it. It's a time of year that brings a lot of pleasure to many, and seems to make the many want to bring pleasure to others. So what's gonna be the popular dive gear gift this year? JF > Seems to me that a holiday that brings out as > much decency in folks as Christmas seems to > must have something going for it.

Nawh, not likely... It can't be much of a holiday when the traditional feast doesn't include a single BBQed item... Now, if it had BBQed reindeer, that would be a completely different matter... <evil-grin >>>Merry CHRISTmas, the celebration of the birth of Christ. Jesus IS the >>>reason for this season.

I have the canon digital rebel - the housing is very expensive. I don't think I would like to take it very close to the water. When I am taking pictures of something you kind of miss everything around you. I've seen too many cameras flood. I know it would happen to me.

Have a nice holiday, Joe. > So what's gonna be the popular dive gear gift this year? Well, surprise hard to do on something I had to "paint" on to ensure it fits, but looks like after 7 years of diving teeshirt or skins, Curtis gets a wetsuit, and gets to crush it on Friday morning.

Anyone with the slightest bit of common sense knows that Jesus was not born on Dec 25. No one today knows the exact date of Jesus' birth. It is a day that was co-opped to have the celebration. > the roman catholic church used the festival of mishra to create > christmas. just another example of the catolics renaming a pagan holiday. Gee.. I though that this was common knowledge. And again, Jesus is the reason for this season of celebration. > Gee.. I though that this was common knowledge.
