Comment on Switzerland Votes to Ban Minarets by flandrumhill

If a minaret was erected in my community it would likely be a beautiful addition to the landscape. As a Christian, I would not feel threatened in the least. However, I do feel threatened by government bodies that are intolerant of peaceful expressions of spirituality.

If they would like to participate in the cause, then of course! But if they don’t feel like growing a mustache, then no problem.
It’s all about choice and standing for something you believe in.

This week a friend recently had to undergo biopsy tests for prostate cancer, causing both him and his wife great stress. Awareness is key.

As an aside, both my youngest sister and I have been married for about a quarter century to men whom we’ve never seen without a moustache. (Neither one has Mexican ancestry). Should they be growing beards to show their support of the cause?

Because all journalists are human, and humans are all biased, there is no such thing as unbiased news reporting. The people at Fox News are just less clever at masking their biases than others.

A holiday that simply focuses on being thankful is hard to beat.

One way to prevent dryness in turkey is to cook it upside down. It might not look as picture-perfect, but it tastes great.

Hello from Russia!
Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?

That is an excellent explanation for those of us who are not techno’s. My further couple of comments:

The site has been substantially upgraded, so now it will display up to ten of your posts – your headlines are crucial in attracting people to click on them.

The rotating posts don’t stay up long enough for people to decide if they want to click and have more time to read what is actually in there. You can’t leave a comment on something you haven’t had time to read! (anyway, you shouldn’t) AI – can you please look at this?

Once you have clicked on a displayed blog, there doesn’t seem to be any easy way to get back to AlphaInventions to resume browsing. AI – can you please look at this, too?

If your blog is on a networking site like NING.com, AlphaInventions cannot find it. So, you need to run a blog on WordPress (or something similar) and have links in your posts back to your other site – to bring visitors and readers to your site. AlphaInventions is a blog search engine, not a website search engine.

Frankly, I love it!
