  my beautiful, sweet, loving, kind grandmother passed away today.one of the only three people in my life who ever loved me unconditionally.

  at the end they tell me she was not struggling, but for weeks before that, she did.

  she suffered, horribly.

  Ahhhh, I'm so sorry for you and your loss. I lost my wonderful Grampa 8 years ago and I remember It as if it were yesterday. I cried my eyes out on his hospital bed when he passed on. I comfort myself in the hope that he's watching over me and loving me every second of the day. It does hurt so much at first but the pain slowly fades. I still have him in my dreams, sailing and laughing, playing cards,strolling, and swimming in
  the salty ocean. You'll always have your special memories of and with your lovely Grandma. Cherish them. She was a wonderful woman who stood by you through thick and thin. I agree with Shotgun. I'm sure it is well deserved. ( HUGS) Rusty(Chris)

  If I knew-beautiful sentiments from my Daddy

  if i knew it would be the last time that i'd see you fall asleep, i would tuck you in more tightly and pray the lord , your soul to keep.

  if i knew it would be the last time, that i see you walk out the door, i would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

  if i knew it would be the last time i'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, i would video tape each action word, so i could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say " I LOVE YOU" instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say " I love you", and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get , I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold you loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss, and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear. Take time to say " I'm sorry," "Please forgive me", " Thank you", or "It's okay". And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today. That's my Dear old Dad, He always knows the right thing to say at the right time. I hope his words comfort you the way they have me. I plan to live by them. Dear old Dad's version of THE BIBLE. Hugs to all, CHRISSIE -(I do plan to get my own post name just having some problems setting it up)

  This morning I told you a bit about myself, just to let you know that I really deeply understand. Deeling with the medical/doctors giving you the run around. I have been through this myself and so has my mom with her muscular dystrophy. I cried my eyes out this morning when I read your post so I am sorry if I rambled quite a bit. I was very upset. I can't believe that human beings can treat others of their kind in such a manner. We truly are worse than animals. I put more faith in a dog than I do in Mankind. Sad but true. I hope your daughter will someday see the treasure that you truly are as I can see it just in those two posts today. All the best to you. Tim horton's wife-Chrissie. I know that others will agree that you are a treasure, a wonderful woman, mother and grandmother. smiles and hugs-Stepmom

  (((Kat))) I read your post and I am so sickened and upset to hear this. A bit of my story. I will try to be short. When I was 6 years old I was in a very bad boating accident ( mast hit my head, I fell backwards into the cockpit down 6-7 feet onto my head again) One month later I started to have seizures. I had them at the kingdom hall, everywhere. I would go blind and deaf and twitch all over the place. I took various kinds of medication to control them(fenobarb etc, dilantin). My teen years were horrible. I was afraid of people. I would hide in my room so as not to go to school. Afraid of seizures, teasing etc. My mom is handicapped( muscular dystrophy) I have stuck by her my whole life. Cleaning, cooking, gardening. This whole summer I spent building their deck. When I hit 14 I got really rebellious. I picked the worst possible guy ever. A 19 year old skin head. He beat me called me names, stalked me, it was horrible. After that, another horrible guy who cheated on me various times and beat me some more. I can't comprehend why your daughter is doing this to you. She sounds selfish. I'm sorry to say that. Maybe she has emotional problems like myself. I am one messed up cookie right now.My mom and sister have disowned me as well. So Kat if you need a daughter I'll fill in anytime. I'm always there for you because I need a Mom too. Love Chris

  29. Reference was made to minorities whose right to profess and practise their own religion was curtailed. The following situations were described: the persecution of the Ahmadis in Pakistan on the grounds of un-Islamic activities, blasphemy, and even calling themselves Muslims (Ahmadiyya Muslim Association); the increasing communalism in India which was threatening the basic secular credentials as well as the right to freedom of religion and created a sense of insecurity among Christians (Solai Program); the climate of intolerance and discrimination in several European countries where religious minorities were assimilated to sectarian movements (European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses for the Protection of Religious Freedom); the denial of the existence and the religious rights of the Turkish Muslim minority in Western Thrace (Western Thrace Turkish Muslim Minority in Greece); the denial of the right to respect and tolerance to religious minorities (Fraternité Notre Dame); discrimination against religious minorities by the financing of a few religious confessions by States (International Association for Religious Freedom); religious discrimination against the Coptic minority in Egypt owing to the fact that Islamic law was considered the principal source of legislation (Canadian-Egyptian Organization for Human Rights).

  Is it time for me to buy a new (used) car?

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, first of all i never buy *new* cars... so when i say "new - used" i basically mean: sell my current car and buy another used one that is about two years old.

  my current car is a 1999 ford contour se v6 with about 106,000 miles on it.

  it's got a few minor bumps-and-bruses and a bit of peeling paint due to a bad paint-job, but it does look good when you step back and look at it as a whole.

  I would say the car still sounds fine.Hey I'm driving a 1987 dodge colt 4 door. Believe me your car sounds like luxury right about now. I would be very worried about the transmission though. We bought a ford taurus from my Dad. One of those pay off the lease sort of deals. It was a really good deal or we never would have bought the car because it had already had the transmission replaced. It was about 5 years old when we bought it. The transmission was replaced 2 years earlier, but then after a couple of years the transmission was going again. Now I'm very careful when I hear the word transmission on a car. Get it checked out. If it's fine then hey maybe the cars got a couple good years left to give ya. But not transmission problems.Yikes!Then I'd say flip it baby!

  anybody who has read my other recent posts...... don't worry, this is absolutely not about me feeling that way... i'm very happy, thanks..... .

  my roommate, however, had a friend who committed suicide a couple of weeks ago and she just broke up with her boyfriend and he was saying things similar to what the guy who committed suicide awhile back was saying just before he took his life.

  it is freaking her out.

  Suicide is very strong and horrible thing. My sister has tried to commit it once. I'v tried to take drug overdose twice but I'm still here. You really can't blame the person because they are in the wrong state of mind and headframe. You feal in the depth of despair and you will, can't not ever get out. All the curtains are drawn.You wan't nobody around.You are deeply depressed.If you spot these signs coming on. THis person needs help. It's very sad. I don't hold any bad feelings toward people who try to commit suicide because theres usually a valid reason. Not always. But you have to imagine that things have reached rock bottom.I had such bad post partom depression this time around I honestly thought, this is it.I can't do this anymore. It was horrible. But things did look up and hear I am chatting to you. Depression is horrible, but its not the victims falt. That person needs alot of support. Bottom line-get help
