This is my favorite verse:
"Whether you turn to the left or the right, you will hear a voice always behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Isaiah 30:21 (Thanks for the reference P.)
I love it and am trying to live by it. If that verse were the whole Bible, it would be a religion I'd devote my entire life to.
I'm even thinking of getting a little tattoo saying "This way" on the bottom of my right foot.
Anyone know what language Isaiah was written in?

Isaiah 30:21
the old testament (which includes isaiah) was most likely originally written in hebrew.
the new testament most likely originally written in greek.
jesus and his boys spoke aramaeic.
That is a great verse. Funny how certain ones stick out and stick with us.
It looks like my tattoo will have to be in Hebrew then. Thanks for the info, my little parasite.
How did you find the reference?
Yeah, Jen. All that memory work in quizzing pays off when year later you still can recite entire chapters. Good ol' bum lights, huh?!
au contraire, mon cher.
a parasite returns nothing to its host.
god bless google.
and if you use the 'cache' link, it highlights your search terms.
"au contraire, mon cher.
a parasite returns nothing to its host."
I beg to disagree. Some might say parasites are great weight loss tools as they absorb many of the calories and fat the host consumes. When parasites are removed, the host may have withered away to little more than bone -- which may be considered a desirable return in some admittedly extreme cases.
So, while not sharing nutrients, parasites can, in some ways, benefit the diseased. If you can refute this, I will consider changing your affectionate new nickname.
Parasite*
Function noun
1 : a person who exploits the hospitality of the rich and earns welcome by flattery
2 : an organism living in, with, or on another organism in
parasitism
3 : something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return
[1. "ok. it's official. j'adore."
"go get 'em tiger." This while latching on to my arguably "rich" supply of beautiful and delightful friends.]
Parasitism*
Function: noun
1 : the behavior of a parasite
2 : an intimate association between organisms of two or more kinds; especially : one in which a parasite obtains benefits from a host which it usually injures
[2. "because you aren't bright enough to spell and conjugate? .... you're doing your nation a grave disservice."
"all that and hypochondria too?
girl you just get more fascinatingly fucked up by the second.
i'm gripped.
and i mean that in the 'oh wow there was a really bad car accident outside my house and the people had their brains smashed all over the windshield' sense."
Seems a little injury provocing to me.]

Good luck winning this one, dear parasite:)
tapeworm was a popular diet in the 19th century.
so, again, i stand corrected.
scars are the hallmarks of battles won.
In a sense, that is the entire message of the Bible isn't it?
Welcome back, Christy.
I agree. To me, it does summarize the entire Bible. At least the parts I want to believe, that is.
Loving your neigbours, being kind, being honourable, having respect for yourself and the world around you, and seeing god in all things good are the parts I accept. And this verse reminds me of that and encourages me to do what is right.
By the way, when I wrote earlier that my little parasite often has some very good points, I was talking about his critiques of myself and his general criticisms of society. I did not mean that the hurtful things he was saying about you were true, and I'm sorry if that's how my message came across.
Oh, parasite, you gave up disappointingly easily on this one. I've grown to expect more from you. Battle until there is nothing left to be argued and do not concede defeat until that happens.
You could have said that you contribute answers, compliaments and points to think about -- things that are universally accepted as positive contributions, wheras when one's body is eaten by parasites, arguably only those with extreme eating disorders would see the benefit, when clearly to anyone thinking rationally it's costs far outweigh any weight-loss benefits.
Also, I thought this was obvious "earns welcome by flattery." You did not exactly earn your welcome by being kind, if you'll recall.
And the injuries you inflicted were brief, ending after a few days, wheras the "benefits" you've provided began at your first comment questioning my insurance-fraud dilemma.
Sigh. I guess I'll have to come up with a new name for you, after all.
(PS. Christy is welcome on my blog. I value what she has to say, and I would appreciate if you would leave her alone unless you have something nice to say to her or unless she specifically addresses a question to you.)
i'm not in my usual top cunty form today, my apologies.
my encounter with the vampire has left me weakened.
i will endeavour to return to my usual scathing self as soon as possible.
for now, however, i am content waiting to see how long it takes for the 20 valium washed down with vin rouge to knock me out.
dreadfully high tolerance, most annoying.
but concern yourself not, it is truly impossible to knock youself of with diazepam.
i once in the depths of black despair swallowed about 60, and another 30 20mg temazepam.
still fucking woke up 12 hours later. strong as an ox.
ah, seconal. how i mourn for your passing.
I pity your kidneys. I hope you feel like yourself again soon.
best regards, nice info merck+propecia
