did you know that old silly laws made a long time ago still exist on the books here’s some in Massachusetts?
4where i’m from”
Misery breeds company but it better not bring on a smorgasbord binge! Mourners at a wake may not eat more than three sandwiches.
Snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and securely locked.
An old ordinance declares goatees illegal unless you first pay a special license fee for the privilege of wearing one in public.
And from the town that brought you the Salem Witch Trials, in Salem even married couples are forbidden from sleeping in the nude in rented rooms.
In Boston it is illegal to take a bath unless one has been ordered by a physician to do so.
In 1659, the State outlawed Christmas. . . I’m guessing retailers got really ticked off at that one.
From an Associated Press news wire: The state of Massachusetts is drafting regulations prohibiting large-scale bakers to allow the odor of bread to be released into the atmosphere because it contains ethanol, which can break down into ozone, a component of smog. “If people have such a visceral response to this smell, they can bake their own bread,” said the engineer at the state Department of Environmental Protection who drafted the regulation.
tell me what state your from and i tell you silly laws from that state. lol

Basis of an Antique Car Price Guide
0Factors That Affect the Car Value
There are several factors that may affect the car value. One of these is the auction price. In an auction, the price is usually set at the lowest possible bid and then people are asked to bid. The highest bidder gets the item up for auction. An antique car price guide may state the lowest possible price for a certain car. Of course the price of the car in the antique car price guide could differ vastly from a specific car due to other factors. The antique car price guide is just a guide not a direct price list for specific cars.
Another factor that can affect the value of an antique automobile is its asking price. Asking prices are based on the amount of money and effort spent on the restoration of the car. This does not necessarily mean that this is the selling price. The antique car price guide can guide you on the range of a specific car’s prices. The range allows for shoddy restoration and professional restoration, which can be the minimum and maximum prices.
Celebrity ownership may also alter the actual price of the car from the antique car price guide. If a certain car was previously owned by a well known celebrity or a well known royalty, tendency is, its price is higher than other cars of the same make and model. Celebrity owned cars tend to belong to the higher price bracket indicated in the antique car price guide. Of course, if the car is in bad shape, no matter which celebrity owned it the price will belong to the lower price range indicate in the antique car price guide.
The originality of the car can also boost prices up. The antique car price guide may set a maximum price for a specific car model and make but this usually is base on restored cars. Antique cars that have little restoration done to them or have most of its original parts intact an functional tend to have higher prices than other restored cars of the same make and model.

Christian Ebooks at Christian Web Sites – Gods Word Continues to Speak
0God’s Word Continues to Speak Via Christian Web Sites That Offer You Outstandingly Helpful and Highly Supportive Christian Ebooks.
Some Christian web sites supply you with fundamental guidance by offering downloadable ebooks. These may be such unique Christian ebooks that capture the essence of Christian lifestyle and thereby help you to benefit from the assistance provided by helpful, supportive, Christian web sites throughout the world.
When you are searching for enhancement or enlightenment on Christian lifestyle endeavors, you may find that your best Christian ebooks online, in addition to brick and mortar outlets, now tend to meet, match, and even neutralize the pace set by our modern, conquest oriented, quick-fix society.
As uniquely stated that Christianity is a time-honored tradition, the word of God continues to show forth dependably. Within the technological advances of our time, solid Christian web sites knowingly provide digital beacons in conveniently obtainable and easily readable formats.
Compact disks, USB or flash remote disk drives, plus read-write CD-ROMs or DVDs synergistically combine, to offer you vast, economical, and rare selections of online and offline Christian development reading material.
This gives you the option, for example, to now almost effortlessly download ebooks from your own personal or preferred medley of Christian ebooks.
It is possible that standard stores possess a disadvantage in that regard. Because, although brick-and-mortar stores may carry or provide a large selection of hard-cover reading materials. . . they compete far less favorably with the no-cost, digital delivery features of Christian web sites.
Additionally, delivering much-desired, common-grounded cordiality, plus dependability in God-centered customer service (which Christian web sites especially supply), gives Christian market shoppers the well demanded and highly expected satisfaction they are seeking in an otherwise, seemingly complacent or non-caring, sales driven society.
Whether you are a devout, seasoned Christian, or a newcomer to the fold, basic Christian lifestyle concepts and fundamentals remain standing, without alteration or change.
For example, consider the following basic principle you see, constantly expounded upon by countless Christian web sites and Christian book distributors across the globe. . .
That is, one of the greatest and most helpful Christian commandments you may find is, “Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself. Do This For The Love Of Me. ”
These words provide a challenge, if you will. They invite you to become a much better person. . . to improve your own human relationship skills, but most importantly. . . to bind yourself in-line with cooperative spiritual giving through enhanced personal control or power.
In essence, striving to increase power over ones self. . . emotionally, socially, spiritually. . . remains a formidable challenge and an almost elusive goal for many non-Christians and Christians alike.
Now, although only ten commandments form this generally solid basis for a positive, overall Christian life, the single commandment to take control over ones self continues to provide its own, unique obstacle course for millions of people you might encounter.
And, when fervently seeking God (or, in ones quest for attainment and adherence to God-centered principles). . . one can easily forget, overlook, or simply underestimate the healing power associated with self-discipline, Christian adherence, and Godly direction.
In other words, God creates human beings with a general capacity to shine. Yet, we also operate with another unique ability. Meaning, another choice we can make just as easily is one that includes a decision to falter.
And, falling short of God’s glory may often become all too familiar, especially in today’s individualistically hectic, needs-driven society.
Therefore, considering all of the above. . . finding one solid source for peace of mind, innocent stress release, divinely approved relaxation, and majestic calm is a service that Christian web sites also have a calling to perform.
And, it is within such light that, today, you are here reading this article. Most likely, you seek to maximize your mutual sharing, understanding, and utilization of the Godly word.
Your goal is to acquire more confidence, in the Christian way. Plus, you desire to become equipped and readied by applying your focused intention and upgraded sincerity towards being a better person.
So, here is what you find. Out of all the millions of Christian web sites at which you may have landed on this day, God sees fit to place you here, to find the one, most useful gem out of many, that Christian web sites may offer you.
Yet, where lays your primary, greatest, and most obvious or startling, year 2008 Christian challenge?
Well, a Christian majority, much like almost any other normal majority in our populous, wants to walk away from essentially every Christian encounter. . . with personal improvement, newfound joy, and uplifted willpower to take positive action upon the Godly principles, concepts, or fundamentals revisited in online mediums like Christian ebooks, for example.
Christianity is not a new occurrence. And, Christian guidelines on sex, marriage, lifestyle, or career sometimes deserve to be presented to you in an invitingly optimistic way.
Rare and unique Christian web sites manage to meet your expectations for such options – offering you Christian reading material specifically selected to match multi-purposed facets of your life.
As merely a polite and well intended suggestion, you can allow Christian web sites to help you find your own place in God’s plan for this world.
Signs Of Emotional Verbal Abuse: Friend Or Foe?
0Did you know the signs of emotional verbal abuse are your friends if you recognize them for what they are?
An adult survivor of severe childhood abuse by her natural father plotted with her sister (also abused) to kill their parents in cold blood. The mother, who watched the children being abuse, took the first bullet and the abusive father the second.
As I’m watching this Law in Order story, I’m reminded of the mother’s dilemma. Love, or leave ‘em? Each of these options can be equally ugly.
If she hangs in there to keep the family together, she is an accomplice in the child abuse. And if she leaves him, further abuse to her and to the children spikes more often than not. It is truly a dilemma.
I know. . . I lived it. When I reached my threshold of witnessing my ex batter our children, I opened two doors. One was the door of freedom to regain our safety and wholeness. The other was a black hole of social political crime beyond most people’s imagination.
For the whole story on this, see All But My Soul: Abuse Beyond Control. For now, come with me and hear the point of this message from the core of your being.
When someone is entangled in an abusive relationship, they can become trapped with a double burden: a) dealing with the abuse and then b) if they choose to leave, exiting the relationship safely.
By settling into an abusive relationship, you may very well be walking into quicksand, because BOTH the entanglement in the relationship and exit out of it can be debilitating, destructive . . . downright dangerous!
THIS IS WHY early detection is the best option when it comes to domestic abuse. This is why you want to know what are the signs of emotional abuse. What does your partner’s emotional verbal abuse mean in the bigger picture of your relationship and in the bigger picture of your life?
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. If you are the least bit curious about whether you are in an abusive relationship, I invite you to check it out, before it spirals out of control.
