  Fluff: What your topic to post ratio says about YOU

  by Sirona in

  2. friends

  i spent vast amounts of time (10 minutes to be exact) assessing what exactly posting ratios say about a person.. .

  work out your forum ratio this way: click on your profile and click on "post history".

  this will bring up a list of pages showing all your posts.

  someone tell me if i'm making an ass out of myself and posting something that has already been discussed here and i missed it.....k ?.

  anyway.....the dubbers have a new deal goin on at least in my neighborhood.

  my wife had briefly mentioned some of it to me a few days ago, but i heard it firsthand working the other day where the dubs were working some apartments.. the dubs go door to door and say they are volunteers for the deaf community and are searching for people who are deaf.

  Its what I think some of the local JWs think we have, as they will not even look at us (maybe they think if they make eye contact with us we will turn them apostate)

  They are doing it over here too - they came to our door a few months ago. It wasnt anyone that I regcognised so they must have been from another area and they must not have known that we should be avoided in case of us using our apostarays on them.
  

  but the presentation to the householder made it sound as though they were helping out deaf people in some way and wanted to know where they lived so they could help them

  That was exactly what it was like. I didnt realise who they were at first because they did just seem like they were a charity for deaf people or something like that.

  Alarm bells only started going off though for me when they used the word 'congregation' and I realised who they were.

  I was kicking myself after because I was thinking of lots of stuff I should have said How come you cant never think of things at the time.

  A few weeks later, our local KH has a new big sign go up with the meetings times on it - It also says that they are the hall for the Manchester deaf congregation.

  Very very sneaky and underhand was the impression I was left with after they had been

  Von Willebrand Disease In Humans...

  by Sentinel in

  i have personally taken an avid interest in this unusually named disease.

  my mother was due to have her open heart surgery on the 30th of april, and at the very last instant, she says that the "doctor" had not picked up on the history of her "bleeding problems".

  so minutes from surgery, everything was stopped.

  This is the blood condition that I have, and most of the female side of my family has it also to varying degrees. My niece has it very severely, she gets very bad nose bleeds, and has been admitted it hospital loads of times with servere bleeding that has made her blood count drop to worrying levels(also the added complication of JW blood issue)

  I think there are a number of medications they can give before surgery to thicken the blood (DDAVP, Transanamic acid and factor 8).

  Hope all goes well with your mum's surgery.

  i'm not sure what that is in £ sterling, but i used to pay on average £ 45-50 to fill a car tank in the UK, at current exchange rates that works out around $80 (US Dollars), that was both on a 2.5 V6 engine car and on a 4.0 V8 engine, but still, the tanks weren't particularly big, fuel is just expensive in the UK, the US has it so damn easy when it comes to fuel prices!

  YES !

  It cost us about £40 to fill up our SMALL car in the UK.

  Too Posh To Push

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that many uk women are opting to have their babies via a caesarian operation because they don't want to experience the pain of childbirth.. the national health service will only perform caesarians if there is a genuine medical neccessity for doing so.. women such as liz hurley and victoria beckham paid to have their babies via a c section even though it wasn't medically neccessary.

  http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/news/s/110/110256_doctors_set_to_tackle_too_posh_to_push_women.html.

  i wonder if they will regret it later in life?.

  . I didn't have the bikini cut, so maybe that makes a difference

  I had the bikini cut, and the pain after is horrendous. Although I had a long labour with the second one once it was over, it was over. Recovery from the section took ages.
  

  BTW: The scarring from mine is not bad at all and is quite small - I think it depends on how many sections you have. I have a friend who has had three and she said her scar is really bad now because they go in each time through the old scar.
