should we avoid being rich and wealthy?

I love hearing people opinions, they've been known to change my own.
So march on, Christian soldier.

That's why I'm here. I'm the first to say that I do not know it all.

my automatic grease gun would offend your anti-gun nature. it sounds like an old m16 a2. i have two of those. one i bought for work that is commercial grade and the one from sears that i got first and it died again. i fixed that one, and so i have two of them and i have a semi-auto one too. they are pneumatic.

I remember you are a mechanic.
I know just a little about what some of that entails. I'm the one who got stuck seating under the hood with a torque wrench tightening the bolts on a bell housing. I was the only one who would fit under there and could reach it that way.
I don't mind dirt and dirty but I don't like grease and greasy.

Seems many guys wear greasy as a badge of triumph. Mind you, nothing wrong with that! 2

i have never heard some one tightening the bell housing with those. i know that in some cars that is needed. when i did my clutch. i just hit them bolts(5) i used air then i took the ratchet to snug them.

Been there it sure beats doing dishes

That was on my 69 Dodge Coronet RT, L,1,2,3 automatic tranny. There are specs on the torque.
Or maybe it was on the torque converter rather than the bellhousing? It's been many....years ago now.
Whatever I was attaching to the motor after changing out the tranny had bolts that had to have so many pounds of torque.

any bolt on anything on a car has torque specs. even for oil plugs. on garbage trucks i used to torque the oil drain plugs at 55-70 ft/lbs of torque.

Well....you have a point there at least you have accomplished something that lasts awhile, unlike the endless dirty dishes. I really dislike doing dishes.

 

[reba]

see i knew we were sisters

 

[Classik]

Yeah you should totally avoid being rich. It's a sin. The best thing you can do is to send all your money and your possession to me, so they will no longer stand between you and God. I will, in an act of loving self-sacrifice, take care of those demonic evil earthly possession.

I will do just that...but permit me to build a diamond stadium for Barça after which you can keep the rest. And when we get to heaven the rest shall serve as your dowry

 

[Classik]

Good for you! Now if a few others could release their own belts, I think it would make the Lord very happy.

No offense, but I'm a little bit shocked to see so many Christians rationalizing their love of money. I have a feeling I'm not going to be a very popular member here.

No dishwasher?

 

[Deborah13]

We have a dishwasher but it doesn't work very well so very thing has to be basically already clean and of coarse there is the pots and pans, and just the whole kitchen clean up. Stove, counters, blah blah blah, then is dirty again within a couple of hours. You know what it's like. Grr...

Well,it is just my son and myself.I am a "everything in its place" person.We don't dirty alot of dishes.You must have more people in your household.When I was married my husband was a perfectionist.After every meal the kitchen had to be gone over with a fine tooth comb.No more.

Very good. Your resilience is admirable. For my part, I really dislike being directly argumentative. But if I see what looks like a serious threat to salvation, I'm going to chirp up. Better to hurt feelings than see brothers and sisters (which I consider you all) turning away from that narrow path.
