It was awesome! 😃

👍

You play on the worship team today?

Yup! We had a different pianist, so it was only hymns today. Normally we have a mix of modern music and hymns.

Great!

What songs do you do?

Oh, well I do church at home with my family. My dad buys the DVDs of his favorite pastor's sermons. We haven't found a church that my mom and dad are both satisfied with. (My dad is strict with theology, and my mom is picky with the congregation...)

Yeah, the big thing for my family is that the church doesn’t quench the spirit. Sadly, our older church started to, so yeah . . . 😦

But my family’s current church is awesome, today they played the old song "I Belong to Jesus" it was amazing! 😄

You guys go to church? The last time I did was ash Wednesday... I was at a lacrosse camp from 10 am to 1 pm

is it just me, or are the comments of this forum being wasted by stuff like "yup", "sure", "emoji" and other short stuff.

this is why I have 168 notifications.

Justy: When this forum was at its peak, we would get 500+ notifications from it alone every day.

I got over 800 once . . .

@justy: Just wait until we get a conversation going. Then you'll have 300+ in an hour. (No joke.)

Well, I was right. "500+". Last time I checked, 800 > 500 was true.

Yeah, you were right.

Yes, I love lording my rightness over people. It's something you have to get used to. 😎

Good morning chaps! How's everything?

Here's a test you can take for fun. (I made it myself, so IDK how it will apply to you).

Good luck!

(1) (Algebra) Find the value of "x" (Calculators allowed)

9x - 30 + 17^2 = 342 Answer = 9.222222 . . .

(2) (Geography) What is the capital of Mongolia? (No google!) Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

(3) (Pop culture) Who plays Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings movies? (NO GOOGLE) Sean Astin.

(4) (English) Which is right: "it's," "it is," or "its" in the sentence "The alien went back to ____ spaceship." "its" is the answer.

(5) (Math (again)) What is the Square root of (-1)? (No googling) It's called "i".

(6) (Biology) In our classification system, do Orders or Classes come first? (No google. None.) Kingdom, Phyla, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species.

(7) (Logic. This is an oldie, but a goodie. If you already know the answer, come up with a creative one as well as the correct answer)
A farmer has a bag of seed, a chicken, and a fox that he needs to carry across the river in a boat. He can only take one thing at a time in the boat with him. The fox will eat the chicken if it is left alone with it, and the chicken will eat the seed bag if it is left alone with it. The farmer can take things back across the river with him. In what order does the farmer take them across? (No google. Not that it would help you. 😎 ) First, the farmer takes the chicken. Then, he comes back and takes the seed. He takes the chicken back across the river, and brings the fox to the other side. He then goes back and gets the chicken. Nothing has been eaten.

(8 ) (Music) In what time signature is a waltz written in? (No google)

8A) 4/4

8B) 3/8

8C) 3/4

😎) 2/4 The answer: 3/4

(9) (Physics) What would happen to a planet if it actually exploded? (NO GOOGLE) It would come right back together. Uranus's moon, Miranda, may be an example of this.

(10) (LEGO) You can combine six of the 2x4 LEGO bricks in how many ways? 915,103,765 different combinations. WOW.

And there you go! It doesn't really matter how many you get right, but it's fun to do these quizzes.

Hey, DR!
