Memverse's 5th Birthday!!!

March 9th is Daylight Saving Time beginning...

Wonderful... Just wonderful... *facedesk*

What's so bad about it?

What is Ides?

The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martii or Idus Martiae) is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to 15 March. It was marked by several religious observances, and became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC.

Oops! I forgot about piano music :) Neat! Sounds interesting!

Do you write music ever?

Hey Sam! How are you doing? Haven't talked with you for a bit! How's Chemistry? :)

Fun. Test this week, even though it's Spring Break. :P

Spring Break? Already? It's still snowing! :P

It's to _spring_ us into the final stages of the semester. :P

Well, it doesn't make much difference to me… I'm homeschooled, the only break I get is when babies come. :)

What's so bad about it?

Earlier bedtime, earlier waking up. sigh

Ah, okay. Yeah.

Oh, okay. That is…sad.

Doing well :)

I think I've spotted about four of these prim-and-proper conversations tonight..(I was in one of them :P) Come on guys - we're homeschoolers! (Not to mention BB-ers) We should be able to keep up a decent conversation better than this!!!

Need the help of an Assassain Merc?

YES! At last!

Never received such an ebullient greeting from you. Has it been _that_ boring around here?

Not really, but I've been dying for you to show up anyway. :P

Nice to see you too. Hows life?

Space is good.

That was from _Thor 2_. Darcy. Talking to Thor. About 25ish minutes into the film. After we meet Ian the Intern. :)

I know that, obviously. Trying to impress me with the fact that you know it too? :P

Making sure I remembered, and giving you ample opportunity to correct me, had I been wrong. :P

What'cha doing, 'sides chatting here? I'm picking out parts for my science fair project online, and singing in Korean. :P

Okay :D My cards are about the same size as the local 2013 cards after I cut them in half :P Yes, I've done that with some verses that were giving me a hard time and it worked super well!! Have you recorded verses you're trying to memorize?

Yes, primarily choral arrangements that I get to force my choir at church to sing, since I direct it. :) I don't really 'write' much piano music, but I pretty much improvise on Hymn themes on a weekly basis.

Gotta go! Bye all!

Gotcha. So you are fallible after all? :P

Nothin' really, except doing the daily puzzle on chess.com… one of the few things I'm able to do there. :P

Bye Bethany!

I have to go now as well. Bye y'all!

Gotta go! Bye all!

Farewell, Bethany!

I was just wondering if you got my email? It was pretty big I guess, so I didn't know if it made it or not. :\

I hide it well.

'Kay. Sounds like fun! :D

Oops! I forgot about piano music :) Neat! Sounds interesting!

Oh, yeah, piano music needs to be on my list as well. :)

Bye Bethany! I have to go now as well. Bye y'all!

Already? :-/ Well, farewell Carissa!

Bye Bethany! Bye Carissa! TTYL!

Bye Bethany and Carissa!!! HUGS

Exceedingly. :P

It is indeed. If you're any good at chess, you should try it. Unless you're already on chess.com?

I thought Ecclesiastes was a little bit sad when I read through it, but it's not all that way. I like the part in chapter 3 about there being a time for everything. I recorded some of the 2009 passages, and in 2010 and 11 we got the songs, and then this last year I had part of John 17 recorded, so that helped. You just have to make sure you're recording them right… in 2009 I repeated a word in the recording, and then they asked me that passage in Orals at Nationals, and I repeated the word then too! :P

Yes, and I read all the articles you wrote, and quite a few by Elizabeth and Anthony Ledford. I'll try to send an email back tomorrow or the next day, but no promises - I may have too much catching up to do after today.

Salut! (Romanian for hello! =)
So the party is still on?

I might have to leave w/o saying. I'm on an iPhone.

Bye Bethany, and Carissa!

I very nearly did the same thing at Locals, as I recorded myself incorrectly on one of the passages as well. :D

Nope, meesa not on chess.com. I dunno if I'll join. :P

So, it's now up to us to create some kind of fun and engaging conversation to enrich both the lives of us, but of those on right now. Any ideas? :P

Welcome, Rachel! :)

Okay. Thank you! Don’t rush yourself… :)

Thank you! Is there any cake left? XD

No need to join; you can still do the daily puzzle, as I am doing, Jar Jar.

Nope, as usual. I thought you were the one with all the ideas? :P

Haha! At least in 2009 I don't think they took points off for repeated words… I can't remember very well.

Yeah, it is pretty sad… I almost want to cry sometimes when I'm memorizing it xP I really like that part too! But I haven't gotten to it yet xP Oh! Lol! That's terrible!! xP

Thank you! Is there any cake left? XD

Plenty! We haven't been eating much. Head on over to "Desserts!" and I'm sure you'll find something.

I need to go now too, I have a big two weeks ahead of me and need my sleep. Bye everyone!

Farewell Seth!

Unfortunately, my mistake wasn't a repeated word, but an incorrect word! :P

Lol, okay =) I'm still full from supper though.

Wow, y'all have really used up the topic!! What has the chatter been about?

Farewell! Great to see you again:)

Fine. It's up to me.

Is genetic manipulation of human beings to counteract clinical diseases ethical? Where could such tampering lead to?

You wanted a conversation starter, and you got one.

Bye Seth!

Very random things :P Hi btw!!

I need to go now too, I have a big two weeks ahead of me and need my sleep. Bye everyone!

Excellent choice of topic.

It entirely depends on what is meant by genetic manipulation. If it ever involves using and ending the lives of cells that otherwise may have grown to become humans, it is entirely unethical. Otherwise, I do not see any problems with it; man is allowed, and even encouraged, to better himself physically if doing so does not endanger any other human being.

I memorized Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 (that's the part about there being a time for everything) a few years ago, but I didn't review it, so I don't remember it now. Is it harder for you to review without BB to motivate you? Haha, yeah, I know… it's actually kind of funny that I repeated that word, now that I look back on it. :P

Such as…? ;) Hello yourself! =)

VERY random question: Have any of you had wine before? XD Like at a communion service?

VERY random question: Have any of you had wine before? XD Like at a communion service?

Actually, our church uses grape juice, and I have never had wine before… but I really think that it would be more biblical to use wine. I won't raise any objections yet, though. :P

So, would tampering to give a human, for example, increased strength, would that be considered morally acceptable? If so, where does it end? Should we allow people to tamper with their genes and/or genetic code at all?
