Bishops Could Vote on Biden Taking Communion

Bishops Could Vote on Biden Taking Communion

President's support for abortion rights bothers some in the church

What is this 'vote' stuff?

They have a Pope in Rome who is supposedly infallible in matters of faith.

Their own credibility is low after protecting and hiding child molesting priests for many decades.

They could ask Pat Robertson who claims he talks directly with God.

Draft email greatly increases in size when saved.

In my NetZero email account, I keep a draft email where I put in different links, comments, and jokes for later. It has the option for plain text or Rich text.
Once in a while it decides to go wild. It almost doubles in size every time you save it.
When I look at it in the email system, it looks fine.
It takes forever to load, forever to copy, and forever to paste into a word processor.
I finally figured out what it's doing. It takes a single forward slash symbol and multiplies it many thousands of times.
In the email program, it only displays the single forward slash.
It got up to about 51 MB in size before I figured it out. That eats up a lot of memory limit.
I deleted the many thousands of forward slashes and now the file/draft is under 200k bytes.

Copying it into a regular word processor and playing with it was very slow and awkward due to immense file size.
Now it only reboots into safe mode.

Buying from Amazon and eBay. I find that I trust Amazon more.

Buying from Amazon and eBay. I find that I trust Amazon more.

With eBay I've had several instances of product not received. For one of them, the seller would not even respond about late / nondelivery... eBay / PayPal sent a specific note that they consider the seller claiming it had been sent to be the final solution even though it never arrived. $30 down the drain for me but they were happy.

I've only had one return with Amazon and it was very straightforward.

I still use eBay but am cautious with it.

When will Trump hold his rallies where supporters pay for tickets?

When will Trump hold his rallies where supporters pay for tickets?

He must be planning on making hundreds of million$.

Especially selling tickets on a recurring basis.
