Awww man. I just had a rather nasty blow to my hopes for Christendom today. Sabbaterians are not nearly as cool as I thought they were. sweatdrop

What happened?

They don't uphold as many of the 613 Laws as I thought they did. sweatdrop  

[patch99329]

I don't think I've ever heard of sabbatarians. The closest thing I can think of is cultus sabbati in name.

*laughs* I make too much money to get food stamps, yet I'm putting the groceries on the credit card.

Funny though: if husband dear gets a work-study job in 10 days, then we can get full food stamps. How ******** up is that?

Don't you just love that? Like when I was going to college, my parents made 40k a year combined, and we couldn't afford house payments, let alone my schooling. But we made "too much money" to qualify for financial aid. rolleyes

I know of someone who is well below the poverty line, but doesnt qualify for any government help, unless her mother quits her job. Both the parents work, but because of that, the government says "no help for you".

The government told my gf's parents "pop out 5 more kids, and then you get medicare".

Seriously, the system is FUBAR.

BTW Blue: I cought the Paganfest show in Chicago, and it wasnt the opening band running long. Tyr just had a short set. 2 new songs (Gandkvæði Tróndar, and Sinklars Vísa), Hail to the Hammer, Wings of Time, and Ramund Hin Unge were all they played sad

Great how that works, neh? Help the lower class, tax breaks for the upper class, but the lower middle class and middle class? SCREW THEM. talk2hand

They only played one new song, and then the other three you listed. The band before them, Eluveitie, ran over by about ten minutes, which nobody minded until Tyr came on and played for less than 20. They apologized profusely for leaving us so soon; you could tell they were pretty upset about it. Many people came to the show to solely see them, and left before Ensiferum took the stage!

Am I the only one who thought Heri looked really nervous before playing, and only loosened up once they got going during the second song? xd And what happened to the drummer (Kari, I think his name is)?

Middle class is vanishing anyway, why should we care about those losers? rolleyes Lower middle class-- not a comfy place to be right now.

That's funny, but good to hear Tea.

As far as my nations social welfare and security systems...
They were thrown together in a time of emergency, and have never really been perfected.
Technically, constitutionally, they shouldn't even exist, and the lack of propper thought given them really shows. sweatdrop

Gandkvæði Tróndar was the intro song. If they had a 3 or 4 minute intro before running out and playing, thats the song.

Strange. Almost everyone in the Chicago venue was there to see Ensiferum. I became known as "The Tyr Guy" because I was one of the only people who was there solely to see Tyr.

I think it was just you

He's been having back issues, so he didnt go on tour. His wife just gave birth on the 1st, and that was another factor in him staying home. If you didnt notice, Eluveitie's drummer filled in for him.

My boyfriend was "the Tyr Guy" for our venue. He doesn't care for Ensiferum, and he went to sit in the car after Tyr played.

Eh, he came out during sound checks to tune his guitar, and a few fans said hello to him. He looked really surprised that people addressed him, and gave a nervous hello before running backstage. 'Twas kind of cute.

I noticed that much, and Herji played with the second band, whose name escapes me at the moment. They were from Germany. if I remember correctly.
