That's because you are a warrior princess who flounces around in an unfeasibly short leather mini skirt!
how many here either were "marked" or "shunned" in some way?

I was 'marked' because I liked heavy metal music and grew my hair a bit long. I also wanted to stay on at school and was talking about going to university (shock gasp). Aparrently I was too worldly
when my son was first born, my husband did not want me to breastfeed.
he said he would be embarassed, although i was all hip on doing it.
unfortunately, i just caved in and fed my son a bottle.
WHY do you find it gross? It's natural.
It's your problem and something that most people dont have an issue with so why do you expect to be able to force your viewpoint on the rest of the world? You are trying to do exactly what you accused Abaddon of.

Breast feeding is great, and natural, too many prudes running around BUNK THEM. However, doing this while driving might be a problem, as one young lady found out.
So what's the difference between a lady getting her boobs out to feed and Janet Jackson's 2 second flash at the superbowl??? Everyone everywhere else in the world is amazed that there is so much controversy at a 2 second boob flash with no nipple.
i'd appreciate any links or book recommendations to help with grief.
i've searched the net, but thought that you would all have some good input.
basically i'm trying to help someone very close to me who is shattered with grief (the death happened only 2 days ago).. please tell me about your own experiences in helping someone in this situation.
Sirona,
no. It's been 15 years since my mum died and my kid sister is still screwed up over it. She's 20 and never had the chance to ask her all the things a girl should be able to ask her mum when she was growing up.
I'm over 30 now and find that I don't think about it much any more, your life sort of fills up with loads of other stuff. So in that respect i guess time does heal, I actually forgot the date this year (it was a couple of weeks ago) and didn't realise til the day after. Thing is it has left long lasting effects which will never go away, I'm not saying that 15 years on I am still crying myself to sleep at night rather that it has seriously coloured my life view and I am still angry that I didn't get to say certain things to my mother. I also find it extremely difficult to let anyone get too close.

I'll second what Scotsman said. Everyone expects you to just be able to get over it when someone close dies. When my mum died I thought I was over it a couple of months later and found that at odd times I would find myself breaking down and losing it.
Time doesn't heal, friends help.

thank you for calling god, please leave a message at the beep or press 5 to leave a fax.

dude you've been slacking. Cut the crap and kill all the fundies.
Thanks for all the good stuff, actually thanks for all the bad stuff too. I appreciate losing my mother to cancer when I was 16, it made me the cynical bastard I am today. Thanks for allowing all the damage that was done to me throughout my childhood, it's given me a skin thick enough to withstand any of the knocks that have happened since.
I'm not really thanking you for any of this, or blaming you; mainly because you don't exist.

one rule that i never could understand is that if you were studying with an unbelieving husband, you could associate with him, even as couples, but if a person was considered a "weak" witness, it was best to avoid any association until that person changed......what dumb rule or belief comes to your mind??

the beard thing was the stupidest thing I ever heard. A complete bunch of freaks
i've got a situation which has meant that soon i will be in close proximity to someone i really don't want to bump into without being primed and having thought out some sensible responses.
i don't want to be in a situation where the only response i have is to blow my stack and punch the guy out.. this guy is an elder, reasonably well switched on and a lifer.
he's also an inflexible sob who is certain of his own righteousness.
Gadget that's a really good one. Basically I want something which will shut this guy up and make him think. Something that will pierce his smug patina of self righteous ness and cut to the core. Something which may plant the seed of doubt. He's an asshole, but he is my father.
