You are probably thinking of the Douai-Rheims which is what fundy Catholics go for. As I explained in my previous message, the KJV doesn't have all the books the Catholics study.

 The New American Bible is the preferred text for many Catholics because it is the one used at Mass, but Catholics also read the Jerusalem Bible and Douai-Rheims and others.

Well which version has the interpretation that long skirts and flip flops are pleasing to God?

Yeah, I figured YOU knew. 

But I was building on your answer because I am still in shock at the idea that Catholics might read the KJV as part of their devotions!  KJV is Protestant!  

 

Sorry, being sensitive.  Knowing KJV is protestant but also not knowing every English speaking Catholic is why I worded like I did.  My mom is an NIV preferring Catholic so there is that.

And thank you both for explaining that the KJV is Protestant so politely. When I read that post I was shaking my head and saying, "Say, whaaaat?"

In UK, when I was still a church attending Catholic - 1950s til 1970s - we used the Ronald Knox translation of the Bible.

I was taught that the KJV was great literature of its time, but not necessarily a great translation......

TLC video on YouTube. 

Description: Justin is working on cars, and Ben is ready for an oil change.

Comment from a user: The description sounds like the beginning of a very bad porno.

Hey, hey, hey!

An oil change? How exciting!! I just went to Jiffy-lube on Saturday, but sadly wasn't filmed. it would have been must-see TV for sure.

Isn't there any safety equipment needed for changing oil? He seems so young to do this kind of job? What if a jack breaks?

Thanks for reminding me.  I'll try to watch - though I get repeatedly distracted by boredom, muting people who annoy me (e.g., Sierra, sometimes Jill), muting commercials and forgetting to look back, and repeatedly muttering "What a crock of shit". 

I also wonder why I bother.

Mystical?

You have got to be kidding me. 

The City is Edmonton, Alberta in Canada, and we seem to suffer from a collective confusion as to the difference between squares, parks and greenspaces. This has led to our very deep river valley becoming this City's sacred cow "largest urban park in the world". Despite the fact that large portions of it are bloody dangerous to use, we have a huge trail network spanning the entire system, and outdoorsy types do love to use them. There are parks inside of the river valley wilderness, and some of those are very nice (but stay the fuck away from the Canada Geese), but outside of the parks, unless you are right downtown (yes it goes through the middle of downtown, and there are some residential developments in the flats around this part of the valley), it isn't a place many people who are aware of what lives in it want to go without a group of people and/or dogs.

It's good they kept the valley fairly pristine all the way from the Rockies into Saskatchewan. I'm a house kat, so the whole place makes my skin crawl, but it does form a huge migration corridor that lets animals funnel to and from the mountains in relative safety, and like I said, most are very happy to be left alone by us...

We do have park rangers and fish and wildlife officers in the city to help any animals that get lost or turned around on their way through. Every year, it seems like a highway or road is closed because of yearling moose tromping along it looking for a way out of town, and we occasionally get bear cubs in trees or baby coyotes lost in subdivisions. The men and women in green work with police and do a great job tranquillizing these creatures and safey relocating them outside the City. It's rare that any of them have to be shot.

It's also super entertaining to give animal safety talks to friends who visit from the less wild parts of the world

As a Cougar aside, I was having coffee with my rexes in a screen porch attached to a cabin outside Japser. They were chattering at me and each other and having a fab time rolling around on the floor as I planned where we were going that day, when a Cougar walked right up to the porch, looked through the screen and screed (inhaled our scent, loudly through the roof of her mouth) at us. The rexes looked shocked for a minute, then bounded over to the window to look at her (no sense of self preservation). I went with, because you do not run from predators and these cats are my babies. I thought worst case scenario, if she backs up and looks like shes going to jump through the screen, I could probably grab them and, nuke the porch with bear spray, and get back into the cabin proper. My little idiots sat staring at her and talking while rubbing happliy against me, and the poor Cougar just looked so bloody confused as to what the heck these happy little cats in hoodies were.... She wandered off, but the cats thought it was amazing. I may have added a couple of shots of Bailies to my next cup of coffee...

 

I love you!  This sounds awesome!

Hey, I just changed the oil in my car all by myself for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I also topped up my windshield washer fluid. How come I don't get my own TV show?

Crap!!!!  So that's why!!! I also shacked up before marriage, used birth control to thwart god's plans for my family size and I work full-time. I guess I'll never get my own show

Are you female?  Did you attend ebil public schools?  Have you ever checked out a book from the library?  (that was not "Waiting for Prince Charming")  Do you have less than 15 siblings?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, TLC ain't interested in your heathen lifestyle.  And changing oil is men's work.  You should have been raising 2 or more of your siblings instead! /snark
