Not to worry. I do not read <i>The Christian Science Monitor</i> nor anything else having to do with Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy and certainly do not follow that group's beliefs. Here in the U.S., though, that newspaper (published in Boston, I think) is deemed creditable as a source for news events and respected for its editorial policy, much in the way <i>The Wall Street Journal</i> id deemed creditable as a source of financial information.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-30037770496562170102011-12-30T15:38:21.124-05:002011-12-30T15:38:21.124-05:00Bob, my concern is not whether Samoa is missing a ...Bob, my concern is not whether Samoa is missing a day or not, but that you are reading such dubious reading matter. xElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05792185208462306952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-91464956185932650402011-12-30T13:26:37.803-05:002011-12-30T13:26:37.803-05:00If I could have skipped a day in my life, or had t...If I could have skipped a day in my life, or had two of one day, I wonder what day I would choose...LightExpectationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429082992688255145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-21033007140202777442011-12-30T08:55:49.383-05:002011-12-30T08:55:49.383-05:00Shooting Parrots in the U.K. and Punk Chopsticks i...<b>Shooting Parrots in the U.K.</b> and <b>Punk Chopsticks in Malaysia</b> (gosh, I have a worldwide audience), I am struck by how much of that map is taken up by the Pacific Ocean.

I would have thought that there would be an advantage in being able to despatch a delivery the day before you receive the order. Or have I got it the wrong way round?Shooting Parrotshttp://shootingparrots.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
