Subscribed to Amazon Prime to get lower price on one major purchase and free shipping.

I live nearly a two hour hour drive from any modern shopping and there is no antenna TV (nor cell phone) reception.

So watching TV shows and old movies on Amazon over satellite internet has become my guilty pleasure.

Then everyone within hearing could be said to have been raptured. So to speak.

It's kind of like being Rick-Rolled. Well, it's a lot like being Rick-Rolled, actually.

Here: Now everyone reading this has been raptured.



I raptured you with Rapture.

Topped as in number 1 on Billboard.

I like rap music. Always have. Not all rap, but then I don't like all of any music.

I liked "8th Wonder" better.

A lot of music doesn't speak to my experience but it doesn't have to for me to like it. People like what they like.

You have a good evening too!

The power went out here or I would have answered sooner. Sorry about that!

Just ask her, "Well, how did that Rapture thing work out for you? About like the last time you were told we're getting raptured, eh?" I doubt she'll make any connection, though.

Well, it's not THE rapture, it's only a partial, for the time being. Sort of like something to tide people over until the main event.

The redeemed will be yanked out of the world, but only up to about 50,000 feet, where they'll remain suspended for a week or so.

Rapture=physically removed from reality. Hey believer! What's wrong with the old method? Soul up to heaven. What the hell is god going to do with your Fox fried brain in the promised land? You've over dosed on Fantasy Island on the Mega Church Channel.
