  Massachusetts will be the only state in the U.S. to have this rule if it passes. Our soccer teams from PeeWee to college age will be mocked and laughed at. Might as well just change all the soccer team names to the Massachusetts Retards.

  Try not to laugh at us to much. With Ted Kennedy and John Kerry in office it probably will pass..

  Idea of soccer helmets kicked around •Physicians say headgear protects the growing brains of younger players By RUSSELL NICHOLS and RAJA MISHRA Boston Globe

  Like football and hockey players, soccer players would have to don helmets on the field to protect their heads under a new legislative proposal in Massachusetts. No other states appear to have passed a similar law, Massachusetts lawmakers and physicians said. The measure would cover everyone from peewee leagues to college teams.

  With strong evidence of long-term neurological damage among a portion of veteran soccer players, some soccer officials, parents and physicians around the nation have recently been pushing for more safety measures for young players, including an outright ban of heading, an integral part of the world's most popular sport.

  Physicians say requiring headgear for youth soccer players was not unreasonable because collisions between players and with the goal posts are the most frequent causes of soccer head injuries.

  "There's pretty good evidence that growing brains are more susceptible to injury," said Dr. Lyle J. Micheli, director of sports medicine at Children's Hospital Boston. "It might make sense for kids under 14."

  But some soccer coaches, trainers and parents see the measure as unnecessary meddling by politicians.

  Allison Canale, 44, of Rutland, Mass., who has been involved with soccer for 12 years as a coach and parent, said children don't have enough collisions to warrant helmets.

  "It's a contact sport from the hips down," she said, adding that her young players probably would feel hampered on the field by headgear. "It's already difficult for me to get the boys to wear the ankle guards."

  A 1997 study done by Northwestern University's medical school found that 2 percent to 3 percent of soccer injuries are to the head, the same rate as in football. A 1992 Norwegian study found that 35 percent of active soccer players in that country had abnormal brain scans, and another study in that country of retired professional players found a third of them had brain atrophy, or a shrinking of brain tissue that results in behavioral and cognitive problems.

  What are you REALLY like?

  2. experiences

  it is strange chatting on the net, not knowing what everyone is really like.

  do you pretend to be someone you are not?

  i find it hard to know how to take people here sometimes, as words do not convey as much without seeing the facial expressions and hearing the tonal inflections.

  I'm my kids mom. They come first, husband comes second, and everyone else third...then me.

  I am nice and thoughtful. I will help you and be your best buddy if I like you ... but if you burn me or rub me the wrong way watch out.

  I don't forgive easily.

  I love music. I am happiest in my car blaring Susan Tedeschi, or 7 mary 3, John Mayer or one of my other fav's.

  I will mean what I say.....but not always say what I want. Because sometimes f*ck off or f*ck you is not appropriate in front of the kids!

  The wounds from my childhood are still with me and I can't let them go but they have made me tough and who I am today.

  I used to be thin...then I got real fat...and now I'm thin again.

  I am a work in progress.

  Hi WLG,

  I am sorry for the loss of your friend. I am sure that she was a wondeful person for you to feel so deeply about her.

  the organization of jw's would do better to encourage real love and fellowship among the brothers.

  but suppose, just suppose the borg were to write something like this in a wt study article:.

  "in these times of fear and insecurity, it is imperative that we draw closer to one another.

  I agree the WTS is jealous.

  It's like the bully that makes friends with you in school and tells you who you can and can't be friends with, what you can eat, what you should like, what to wear, etc.

  Control control control. I doubt there is much real love in the congregations any longer.

  Living proof: Elders are not spirit appointed

  by IP_SEC in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  witnesses say that elders are appointed by holy spirit.

  the bible is the product of hs and when the body prays and uses the bibles qualifications for older men in the context of the perspective candidate hs is involved in his approval or disapproval.

  then when the co passes the recommendation on the gb (or who ever actually makes the decision) these spirit appointed men are influenced by hs.. all well and good, the only problem is, it does not work.

  I think the Elders are Spirit Appointed....Evil Spirits!

  I'm sure there are some out there that start with good intentions, but I think they are few and far between.

  For $35 you can go to Victoria Secret and get a sampler of Pefumes for Women or Men - there's gotta be one in there that your Giftee will like.

  The one for men is called Very Sexy & Very Sexy 2 - both smell very nice and what man wouldn't like to be called....Very Sexy!

  Cashmere Gloves & scarves are nice and not too spendy. Who doesn't like something soft.....

  $$$$, gift cards, and coupons for favors are good. I'd like to get one to have my truck cleaned....I hate to do that!

  Lady Lee,

  You crack me up!

  Our Christmas tree is quite sad...the other night the dog chased the cat into the christmas tree breaking the base and knocking the tree to the ground. (It's artificial by the way).

  Then my darling husband decided to fix it. He made a wood stand to hold it up because I said...we'll just get a real tree next year! So now the tree is leaning off to one side like the leaning tower of piza....

  And...

  Since we have a 17 month old I felt that I didn't want any glass ornaments on the tree this year or any of my family heirloom ornaments because I can't replace them. So we put up the non-breakable ones. These turned out to be some ugly ones that my mother gave me - paper mache eggs with wierd christmas pictures on them.

  So we have garland, we have lights, we have paper rings that my 5 year old and I made...and some wierd eggs. The eggs have an alternate use of being great bowling or soccer balls for the kids. One of the cats keeps pulling them off too at 2am and batting them around the wood floors.

  So my tree is definately not perfect.....in fact I think it rivals Charlie Browns tree!
