To spit on someone is absolutely disgusting behavior. They should be ashamed of themselves. They're no better than the son who committed the crime. Thats nasty.

Would you spit at his mother?
by Amazing1914 inas scott peterson's mother exited the courthouse, where she heard the jury pronounce her son guilty of murder, the crowd moved in on her, jeered and booed her, and some spit at her.. scott certainly appears guilty and the jury who heard the evidence thought so.
i believe in the death penalty, but not in purely circumstantial cases like scott peterson's.
so, i favor life in prison, to give him opportunity either repent and pay his punishment, or to prove his innocence ... if he can.. however, to stand outside a court house to cheer at the verdict seems rather inane and ludricris.

Bad news about the house. : /
by Elsewhere ini have been holding off making a public announcement for awhile because i have been waiting for all of the paperwork to become official... but the company that is building my house has been dragging their feet, trying to delay the inevitable.. the bottom line is this: i won't be able to buy the house.
when i was doing contract work, i was making x amount of money.
i had anticipated a pay cut caused by my becoming a permanent employee, but the pay cut turned out to be more substancial than i had anticipated.

Hey Else,
I'm sorry to hear that you can't get your house. I think you should go with your intuition. Whatever it's telling you. Follow it. It would be great to buy that house, yes. But it isn't fun being a slave to a house either. There are always other expenses involved. The furnace breaks, roof work, washer, dryers, need fixing.Etc etc. It's not just about buying the house. There's alot of hidden costs involved. I would agree that 33% isn't the worst senario. A realistic budget always helps. Realistic that is. If you drink. Budget booze etc. If you can't give up those extras then don't buy the house. It definately takes sacrifices. Your social life suffers, because your broke. Don't worry, you're time will come. I know it's hard to hear but it will. Take care my friend. Have you considered what Scully mentioned or maybe a house with a basement suite. It pays half the mortgage sometimes. Just a thought. I hope it helps. Smile okay Chris -

Thanks guys, Shows I was in a bad state of mind last night. I definately am not a selfish person. I am more of a giver that puts my own interests last. I'm in the process of trying to find a happy medium. I can tell you alot of people don't like this new side of myself though. Including my son. He's used to me doing everything for him. Well he's 13 and time for a reality check. It's my fault for letting him become lazy and overindulged. Quote from Depression thread" The giver became accustomed to always putting others desires and interests before his or hers. It may be agonizing for that person to suddenly put their mental well being ahead of doing for others." This is me to a T. I am going through total agony right now. I feel like a mean person for standing up for myself but I know it has to be done. I need to be more assertive. It's so hard though. My son says I'm mean. I feel that I am doing him a favour though.He needs to learn how to fend for and take care of himself. Among other people. Chris

Sarah:
I'm sorry to hear about your depression. I went through a similar thing when I was younger with my family as well. Do you live at home? It was usually to do with pressures in regards to the truth. I have found that antidepressants definately do help. The problem with me, is they stop working every 2 years or so and then they have to try me on new ones. It's a horribly grueling process. When the meds do finally kick in it's great. It is just replacing the chemicals in your brain after all. I used to be really embarrased about it but now I realize it's just a part of my life like someone with a thyroid condition or someone who needs insulin for diabetes. It's still hard to accept I must admit but I have no choice as do many others. It's amazing how many people have this same condition. It's nice to know that others can relate openly. That takes guts. Thanks I hope you get through your own issues ok. If you ever need to talk I'm always here for you as you have been for me. Love Chris -

Hi everyone,
I went to bed at 9:30 last night. Like a good girl and I am feeling much better. It's amazing how a good nights sleep can do all the world of good. I think thats the phrase. I felt much better this morning when I read all your advice and comments. It's nice to Know that people still care. I know it sounds silly. But right now, I feel like I've lost so much. I really miss my family. I've had 2 very violent relationships in my life and the one that I had seems to be surfacing really bad right now. They call it post traumatic disorder. Something like that. The fighting with Mr. Horton seems to have triggered it. I also feel really angry about the ORG. right now. There's so much pressure from them. It's becoming more apparent to me every day, what a ridiculous religion they really are. Cult really. Their answer for everything is in a book or magazine. When I told my sister that Mr.Horton and I were going to see a councellor she got all upset and said not to trust in Man. Only in Jehovah. She said to read the family life book. Talk to the elders. I can't imagine telling the elders anything about my private life. They wouldn't understand a thing. Besides it's none of their business. I guess I have to agree with Almostatheist, that I can't make any rash decisions as to divorce because I have too many additional stressors right now and it wouldn't be fair to take them out on my husband. The man that I love. Thank you all again. Love and hugs Chris(panther) -

I'm sorry for sounding angry at you guys. I'm not. There's just so much going on right now. I feel like I have nobody to turn to. This forum just doesn't feel like enough. I usually talk to my sister and I don't have her right now, so it's really hard. My husbands family keeps calling here, the elders are coming to the house. I have renovations going on. Mr. Horton and I aren't getting along, as planned. It just feels like too much. My car is falling apart this week. I have to get that fixed or get a new one. It's overwhealming, the kids are kids as usual. Diapers, arguing. It just feels crazy. I'm trying to hold it together but wonder what life is really all about, because right now mine isn't fun. I keeping hoping for a sunnier day. I'm determined not to go back to the truth though, the socalled truth because then my fight for freedom would be all for not. sorry to be such a pain in the ass right now. I'm venting so much. It feels good just to type it out. I know things will get better though, because I'm a fighter, and they always do. I refuse to cave, to be unhappy. I will get my act together guys, you'll see. I'm a tough cookie. It's the only way I've survived. thanks for listening hugs panther
