it makes me think outside the box a little bit about how much money is spent on products for people to lose weight, and how much money saturates the market and influences so much of the media.. the author's attitude is one i try to have-- exercise, be balanced in eating habits, drink water, take nutrition supplements, and don't obsess over dieting & what the scale says or about other people's judgements toward my weight.. right now, i already know why i am overweight-- i am eating to deal with my bipolar issues.

Except Yadda, that we all have to eat. We don't have to smoke or drink. You can treat your body beautifully and kindly and not starve it to be someone else's idea of slim. We don't all think plump people are ugly.

FHN, thanks for sharing the Lou Bega song!

For some reason I'm really thirsty ...

You are welcome. I love Lou Bega anyway, but he really won my heart with that song and video.

If the world was different- A world ruled by women.

this 10 minute video follows a man and his problems as he attempts to deal with women in authority, much as a woman may experience in our own society.. maybe not a real stretch for the imagination.

there have been some matriachal soceities in history.

Put Sarah Palin in charge. See how things go. I do agree that women tend to be less violent, though.

Argument with my Child "Why did I stay in the Organization so long?" Anger and Bitter Feelings.

by RottenRiley in

last night my third oldest child wanted to know why we stayed in the organization so long.

child is a third year college student enjoying all the classes this "wicked system" has to offer, the insatiable appetite for learning makes him want to argue and debate, i don't have the energy to debate because i don't feel good with all life has thrown our way.. .

"the only reason i went to meetings so long was because grandma and grandpa needed somebody to take them to meetings and cobe aunt and uncle and secretary aunt and uncle refused to talk to grandma for years, otherwise i would have stopped attending the kingdom hall because the kids were assholes and i was always the one who had to make "first contact", "i was the one who had to go around and meet and greet newbies while the regular jw wall-flowers (calebs) ignored all the visitors and new persons visiting our kingdom hall.

A lot of us have to deal with bitter grown up kids. After you've apologized several times, enough is enough.

.

if your sister and brother died of cancer and now your body is starting to show all the effects of the disease, would you want to know even if it might mean a death-sentence?.

my dad, sister, brother and now mom will die from this ugly disease, all of them had aggressive forms of stomach cancer, my mother's battliing it has me putting my health on the back burner because i am very obstinate and hate doctors, why should i go see a doctor if the last four people i loved all died of cancer once they got their dx?.

You're already worried. Go to the doctor for possible peace of mind.

I'm not much of a rap fan, but my son calls me from Georgia, here and there, and asks me to play songs. He will introduce me to a very good rap song and/or video sometimes.

This is one of the lastest he showed me. You have to watch the video as you listen to the words for it to make the most sense. It's one you want to give full attention and watch the details. It's pretty profoundly moving, remembering people like Emmitt Till.

Not sure if these lyrics are accurate.

"Cadillac On 22's"

[Intro]
It's gon' be aight though (ohh)
This one's for you, yeah!
Cadillacs on 22s...
Pimp my voice and mack these beats..
Pray to the to the lord for these Mississippi streets

[Chorus - repeat 2x]
Cadillacs on 22s
I ain't did nothing in my life but stayed true
Pimp my voice and mack these beats and
Pray to the Lord for these Mississippi streets, hey!

[Verse]
God I know that we pimp
God I know that we wrong
God I know why she talk about Moet all of my songs
I know these kids are listening
I know I'm here for a mission
But it's so hard to get 'em wit 22 rims all glisten
I know these balls are talking
Lord I wanna do right
I tried to fight but these demons they comp at me at night
Like my momma, my daddy, my girl and all my boys
I lost Rachelle but I guess I still got the whining Roy
My couzins sweet, momma lay that Jason
Lord I'm praying for swacking my heart is still impatient
Keep 'em off them drugs, far away from thugs
He's still my hero but just a shell bed or what it was
Yeah smoking get a buzz, but God I hear ya calling
And shit wrong wit balling
But my soul is just steadily falling
And the sex and the dead, and the other jail
God I'm stacking my mail but will I end up in hell?

[Chorus]

[Verse]
Lord they hung Andre Jones
Lord they hung Reynold Johnson
Lord I wanna fight back but I'm just so sick of bouncing
Lord I'm sick of jumping, Lord just please tell me something
My folks still dumping my music, bumping but I feel nothing
My heart is steadily pumping
My heart is steadily breaking
Sometimes I feel like I'm faking, man
I'm so sick of taking
Maybe hell ain't a place meant for us to burn
Maybe Earth is telling just a place for us to learn
Bout yo love, yo will and grace
Sometimes I wish I wasn't born in the first place
Maybe this first base, God knocked the ball up out the park
So we can come home this world right here is feeling so dark
Feeling so cold, Lord I'm feeling so old
I dunno if I can take this world right here no more
22 inch rims on the 'Lac
I guess that was yo footprint in the sand carrying us on yo back

[Chorus (2x)]

I was looking over some of the pages here. Be sure to type in the name of the artist/band and the particular version of the song link you are posting. I noticed that some links are deleted from you tube or they are made private, etc. If you will type in the info for your song/piece, even if the link later disappears, we can still look up your music. Thank you, everybody.

There was a time when I was feeling very low and I came to JWN for support. One of you dear posters gave me the link for this version of Falling Slowly, by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova performed at the Sundance Film Festival. It is from a movie they starred in as a singer/songwriter duo. I've since seen the film since then. It was definitely worth seeing.

The person who gave me this link and promised that it would lift my spirits, the person was not off at all. It really moved me to my soul. I had never heard of either Glen or Marketa.

Here it is again. Treat yourself.
