But Timmy - God doesn't love you. Not at all. Tonight when you go to bed, just know the end of days is near and soon we'll see all the stars wink out one by one, the cold embrace of death is near and soon the black shroud of death will become your pillow. Oh, and sleep tight son.
Hee hee, an epi-pen. Just somebody please bring some darts to the party.
It's going a bit off subject, but my family and sister-in-law were in China at a restaurant when she came down with a severe allergic reaction and started turning blue. My brother had an epi-pen in their luggage, but it was back at the hotel, and we'd walked from there to the restaurant.
The management was freaking out and all I could do was tell them not to panic, my brother was able to get the epi-pen back in time and once he jabbed her, she was fine. BUt it was a close call! They had served us a soup with fish stock in it even though we'd told them we had some allergies to fish (myself included).
Well I'm far from the world's greatest piano player. I stopped taking lessons about the intermediate-early advanced stage. So I can play some fairly advanced music, in fact I prefer more complicated or creative takes on the Christmas classics. But it is different from just being a passive listener.
I hope you get to find time with the guitar these days - I always wanted to learn to play classical guitar, it's so cool to have that as a hobby!
And even if it's contrary to popular opinion, I don't mind Bill Gates being a billionaire. I mean, I'd love to have invented the sole operating system for Windows and get all that money. My feeling is, if you make something that worthy you deserve to get paid over and over again.
They tried to teach people to use hovercraft, and it was a miserable failure. There are so many more controls with that, and people just couldn't get it right. I shudder to think about putting people into flying cars, especially when they already drive under the influence most of the time.
It's a sickness that makes our country one of the worst in the entire world. In Utah, you can register as a democrat, but you can't cast a vote as a democrat, they will not give ballots to registered democrats in Salt Lake or anywhere else in the state.
What I don't get is how "legos" figure into this story. It says she was playing along with the whole thing and the police arrested her for supposedly indecent exposure, but it makes no mention of legos??
I think they should provide a pack of free sharpies with every walking cast. Well it's the holidays - go nuts with a whole Currier and Ives yuletide mural kind of thing.
That's about it. I'm white and male and I'm here to tell you, there never was a 'good old days' unless you mean a time when white men could get away with raping and killing a young kid like Emmett Till and could butcher their families and get away with it.
I saw that also but I have my doubts that you'd get much iron intake from cooking in iron pans. People used to get lead poisoning from using lead pots and pans, so - maybe it's possible. I'm not sure how much iron frying pans, for example, are pure iron.
I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...
I encounter that all the time especially on public forums like this. This is a quote from an article I found about it online: According to psychologist, speaker and author Guy Winch, most people who consistently refuse to admit they're wrong do so because they have incredibly fragile egos. They clam up and insist they're right, demonstrating what experts term "psychological rigidity", as a defense mechanism.
Also I think that telling someone they are wrong comes across as a criticism about their intellect and they respond defensively by instinct. And, another reason is because people don't want to believe anything that contradicts their preferred view of the world. So if you "correct" someone they tend to act like you're attacking them or as too stupid to know what "truth" is.
It's really a telling distinction because today, most people behave in this defensive way. You don't see many people willing to concede or say, "wow that's a different point of view than I have considered, maybe it requires me to spend some thought on why I feel the way I do." Which is the real value of differing opinions; they help us re-assess and redefine the reasons why we feel the way we do.
I cried during "Titanic." I can't believe I spent $7.50 on such a dumb movie. It was trying so hard to press people's buttons, plus I hated the idea that in order to like the female character, she had to "give up" her wealthy heritage and "descend" to the common man's level first, the same plot as the movie "Overboard." What is the message here - that having money is wrong and automatically makes you a bitch. What an ironic thing for hollywood people to be shoveling in our direction.
That's just horrible. And you're right, most people today have little empathy for anyone else. But it's terrible when you're own family is among those without the intelligence and innate goodness to care about you as a human being. Your sexuality is just a preference, not a definition of everything you are. I'm gay myself and was always bullied in school (long before I was gay or anything else) and have suffered my fair share of slings and arrows.
But I never ever felt bad about being gay - it's a gift and a blessing, and my family at least were supportive - or maybe just well-educated enough to know that someone's sexuality is not anyone else's business to worry over.
If you're tired all the time, that's one of the big red flags for major depression. And it sounds like you're doing everything to make it worse. Why seek out people who hate you - they're gonna be around no matter what. What you really need is to seek out people like you who are encouraging and supportive. And you need to god-damn well wake and stop being a jerk to yourself.
Sorry but it has to be said. You have to let yourself learn how to be happy. Being gay is not only NOT some kind of punishment, it is most definitely NOT anything to feel guilty about. In fact, I think of it as a superpower, and it is one reason I wake up smiling every day.
I haven't had the same setbacks you've had, but I've been through major bipolar episodes, (unrelated to sexuality), and I know how tough it can be to let those inner judges go, but you have to do it to improve your life. You have to fire those assholes and kick them out to the curb.
Sort of a vibrant or vivid melancholy, maybe? Some songs by certain groups do that to me also - that song, "remind me" by royksopp always brings on those feelings. I think that listening to music makes you feel like everything in your body is opening up a little, loosening and relaxing and decompressing.
I support humane people everywhere. I do not support any group that uses weapons against any other group, no matter what. War mongering is only going to ensure more war mongering. What I truly support is people of greater intelligence reaching across the divide to start promoting peace and learning to live with each other.

I am in one of those walking boot cast things for the foreseeable future. I bought sharpies to decorate it so it isn't as terrible. How should I decorate it?
I’ll probably be in the boot until at least February. It has to be work appropriate because I’ll be back at the office part time starting next month
