    Has anybody found a way to have Logos Suggest books to purchase based upon your current reading habits?

    Talking about habits, I'd love a book on the history of ecclesiastical vestments.

    Good idea. Investment strategies....I don't think there are many resources on that in the Logos library.

    By the way, I would like to report a bug. Damian bugs me.

    Burrr!

    Why do you always have to bring up Alexander Hamilton??? Good grief!!!

    I find that this forum is beginning to hijack my threads of thought.  I keep trying to actually do some work in Logos 4, then someone on the forum asks a question and I go to make a screenshot, and then I forget what I'm studying, so I post in the forum instead, and then realize that the screenshot gives me an idea for a sermon I'd like to preach some day in the future so I start a new layout on that topic and before long it's Friday. 

    Sunday's coming.

    Perhaps you should let someone else count threads and worry about deleting the post in your own post!!

    Philip,

    Is your plan working?

    Philip,

    Well obviously we're not ignoring it. But this lets us get the silliness out of our systems so we don't hurl it on unsuspecting others in threads where they asked serious questions. And the number of posts thus far shows that between us we have a lot of silliness in our systems. "I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any further as I think this is getting too silly."

    I would like to try and get this thing back on topic if we can.  In answer to your question Philip, it all depends on where Jack is from because every culture has their own traditions on greeting people.  I guess the mot simple way to greet this person would be to say, "Hi Jack" welcome to your special thread.

    poor Jill. Jack getting a greeting and Jill is broke.

    You know, Philip, Jill might be a good source for ideas about your Thomas problem.

    That whole pail of water up the hill thing sure did a number on Jack.

    You have to admit she is pretty good at what she does.

    Just a thought.

    Unfortunately this thread has gotten WAY off topic, personally I blame Damian, and Chris, and George, and... well it doesn't matter.

    The proper way to hijack a thread is to wait until your spouse is just about ready to get it through the sewing needle, and just at the crucial moment make sure that you sneeze or make a sudden movement that will be certain to startle her.  Of course be prepared to duck if you do this. 

    Pardon me while I go find the ice pack.

    Beauty of Mathematics!!!!!!!


    1 x 8 + 1= 9
    12 x 8 + 2= 98
    123 x 8 + 3= 987
    1234 x 8 + 4= 9876
    12345 x 8 + 5= 98765
    123456 x 8 + 6= 987654
    1234567 x 8 + 7= 9876543
    12345678 x 8 + 8= 98765432
    123456789 x 8 + 9= 987654321

    1 x 9 + 2 = 11
    12 x 9 + 3 = 111
    123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
    1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
    12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
    123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
    1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
    12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
    123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

    9 x 9 + 7 = 88
    98 x 9 + 6 = 888
    987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
    9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888

    9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
    98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

    Brilliant, isn't it?

    And look at this symmetry:

    1 x 1 = 1
    11 x 11 = 121
    111 x 111 = 12321
    1111 x 1111 = 1234321

    111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
    1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
    11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
    111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321


    Mind Boggling...

       
    Now, take a look at this...

    101%

    From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

    What Equals 100%?

    What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

    Ever wonder about those people who say they
    are giving more than 100%?

    We have all been in situations where someone wants you to


    GIVE OVER 100%...

    How about ACHIEVING 101%?

    What equals 100%in life?

    Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
    answer these questions:

    If:

    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

    Is represented as:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

    Then:

    H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K


    8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

    And:

    K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E


    11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

    But:

    A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E


    1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

    THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

    L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
    12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

    Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

    While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
    get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

    If you find this interesting share it with your friends
    & loved ones.

                                 Have a nice day & God bless you

    Do we have to stop now that there is something of actual value on this thread?

    Do we have to stop now that there is something of actual value on this thread?

    No, this is the perfect time to hijack it again. 

    But I have to go make dinner.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 

    Wow! We have all been seriously upstaged.

    Praiser, thank you for hijacking this thread with that mind-boggling mathematical beauty. I have to interject one of my favorite quotes here (it was the quote I chose for under my picture in my high school year book): "Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty." (Bertrand Russell). Russell was a famous atheist, but even he couldn't help himself in acknowledging the existence of supreme beauty in mathematics, which we know can only come from God.

    Now please, someone hijack this thread back so that we don't get too fixed on a single topic for too long and get rusty in our hijacking skills...

    I am not really following this anagram stuff.  It kind of leaves me empty.

    Sort of a hollowgram.

    I figured I'd start this thread to talk about how to properly hijack a thread.

    I've recently discovered that thread hijacking is greatly helped by saying something stupid when you're really tired, thus hurting someone's feelings.  With little or no effort you can take a thread permanently off course with this method.

    Sigh.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 

    I absolutely can't help myself. 

    No, I haven't read all 21 pages of post - but I have read enough to know this thread could be used in a great way to develop a curriculum for a college level course called "Philosophy of Social Media Psychology." 

    I just couldn't "hep'it"

    I have read enough to know this thread could be used in a great way to develop a curriculum for a college level course called "Philosophy of Social Media Psychology." 
    Would it be primarily an Abnormal-Psychology course?  Or does that depend on whether or not you include Philip Spitzer's comments?

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 

    I haven't read all 21 pages of post

    Then you get a pass...

    I see you all using this thread to boost your post count.  We should start a thread to discuss how those with very high post counts need to be more humble than those with less lower post counts so that they will not somehow hurt the conscious of the lower post count persons.  I will be posting frequently on this very issue until my post count is such that I will have to stop posting.

    I figured I'd start this thread to talk about how to properly hijack a thread. That way we can make sure useless chatter is in a place we can all ignore. Please make sure all posts deal with the topic of hijacking threads.

    Getting back to the OP's original question (after 23 pages), the way to properly hijack a thread is to bring up ideas that have been brought up in the OP's original post, or in one of the following posts, and then to use those ideas to springboard to another sometimes similar, but often very different idea, in doing this hijacking it is often helpful to say "sorry to hijack your thread, but since someone brought it up ..."   

    Hijacking is also usually much easier to accomplish if you are adept at run-on sentences, and, commas, because, you, can, put in the OP's ideas, and then flow them, into your ideas and thoughts in just one long sentence just by using a comma, or some other, form of sentence structure, that helps to build sentences correctly for a modern world that often does not understand the need for proper sentence structure that is not taught well in the educational system of many countries.

    I hope this helps.
