today, i was talking to a close family member....he owns many stores of a business...he was telling me about a huge deal going down for him, in his favor.
he is an elder.
a lot of brothers work for him.
remember that simpsons episode where homer prays for something...i think it was for help finding the remote...and then he found it so he started praying all the time asking for a sandwich and stuff. hilarious.
yeah, i believe in the power of prayer...as long as you're vague enough and lenient enough with what you expect back. plus, you can't forget about the placebo effect.
alcoholics anonymous claims that alcoholism is a disease.
somehow i think that is just a way of excusing the person from the responsibility that they chose to drink and they chose to let it become an addiction.. what do you think?.
sirona
What I am saying is that an alcoholic is either totally free of responsibility because it is an unavoidable disease, or they are responsible because they unfortunately have the addiction gene and chose to drink to excess.
is heart disease a disease or a choice? (i know, it says 'disease' right in the name...)
for people with a family history of heart disease, they know that they have a genetic predisposition so they need to be careful to maintain a healthy lifestyle. if they are less careful than they should be and they end up suffering a heart attack, does this make it less of a 'disease'? the person has more responsibility than, say, the person suffering from leukemia, but i would still say that the deck was stacked against them and they had a VERY high liklihood of developing the condition.
if 2 people, one with the "genetic predisposition" and one without made the same decisions (diet and exercise, or alcohol use as the case may be) the one with the predisposition has a greater liklihood of developing the disease than the one with no family history.
what is the deal with the male species thinking it is ok, to pick their nose in public??.
i find it repulsive .... it just seems to me,when i catch people picking their nose, in almost all cases,it is a man doing it..... do men, find it hard to find a kleenex???.
morty of the, taught my boys not to pick their booger's in public class...
Y oh Y do men think picking their noses in a car is private UM HELLooooo your surrounded by glass
you mean you can see IN???!!!!...hmm...doesn't change a thing.
i just figure, none of the people i'm driving past will ever see me again. and if they do, they'll know not to look at me next time.
google has a lot of information on this.
it was brought to my attention by a member of my family.. any one have this experience?
your alone in your house, home, apt.and out of the corner of your eye you see something, someone, pass by like a shadow, very fast!
If you are seeing shadow people in your home, it may just be residual energy. Do a house cleanse / blessing.
sorry guys...it's just me. by the way, you're out of beer.

So are you the guy I keep seeing picking his nose in the car next to me at the stoplight?
yeah...its either me or one of the other 98% of men that do it.

but i have toyed with hooking to a little country church with some friendly people to associate with.

i attended a catholic church with my girlfriend for awhile (not out of interest, but just so she wouldn't have to sit by herself). i now find it nauseating. literally nausous. it's the weirdest thing. i still try to go with her on easter and christmas but i probably won't be doing that anymore. last time i went they tried to sprinkle holy water on me. i ducked.
