Hello all! I live in Oregon, in a SW Portland suburb, and I have marveled at how spread about we are in this agnostic.com group. How fun to find a geographically-appropriate sub-group. Perhaps there are contacts and friendships to be made here!
I live in Northeast. I escaped the Deep South. I love it here. Maybe we can have coffee sometime? I find so many non-believers here. I am surprised more are not in this group.
Yes, I would like that! I used to live in NE, Alameda area, where are you?
Welcome to the group. It seems we are an active area.
I'm about 5 hours below you in G.P..
Do tell... What is the difference between the "Queen of Hearts" and the "Queen of Diamonds"?!?
@MerlinZap - I did not know that, hence my question, so thank you! I feared that the reference to the "Queen of Diamonds" would reveal a materialistic woman, and - as a woman who love diamonds and gold - I was prepared to defend myself. Alas, there is no need, and I appreciate the distinction!
@Rustee... remember the old Eagles song: "...don't you try the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you when she's able... you know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet...." ("Desperado" )
Also, there are all kinds of gambling superstitions about the people cards -- kings, jacks, queens.

Posted by TO_BYI'm remembering Sam for Memorial Day. He died over this last year. A memorable street-performance artist up here. He originally hailed from Tonga. Big spirited. Loved America.
