  i'm really intrigued by that fact that i may know some of you and yet not know that i know you.

  i just want to know how many people from canada are here.

  if you don't mind and don't care about posting your province (cause i'm too timid to) we could all get an idea of just how many canucks are really out there.

  we all get junk mail, or applications for credit cards we don't want or even asked for.

  i got six applications in the mail today.

  i've phoned these numbskulls before and told them to stop sending me this stuff, as i don't want their credit cards.

  What's your take on "stumbling"...

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the phrase "cause for stumbling" often left me bewildered.

  tell you what to do counsel you and impose their own opinions on you.

  maybe i did something in the past that "stumbled" someone, but aren't we all able to make our own decisions when it comes to conduct and choices ... at least we should be, especially if it isn't regarding something inherently wrong.

  An elder friend of mine once told me, that one can only be stumbled, if one allows oneself to be.

  I thought he was probably right. I believe it was a way for the society to burden us further. I had more important things to worry about, than whether some silly-nilly sister was going to be stumbled because of something I might do or say.

  Taking a Mental Vacation

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last evening, as i rested my body and mind while watching the sun set, i realized how important it is to take time for mental relaxation.

  just to calm the mind and quiet all the constant noise that runs through my mind.. i have to keep reminding myself though, because it is so easy to fall back into the pattern of constantly thinking, planning and deciding.

  i need to take time to just be still because i see a difference in my physical and mental health when i do.. i was so used to cramming as much as i could into each day for 30 years as a requirement for some future reward.

  I light some incense, turn on some Celtic music, and sit down with a cup of flavored coffee, a glass of wine, or a nice glass of beer. Depending on the time of day....

  "mommy, look," she said.

  "oh no," i thought.

  i just received a call from mouthy regarding her daughter's biopsy (for those of you who didn't know, she had a lump in her breast that they took out).

  it is benign, not malignant!!

  she's so busy with getting ready to move and company that she just didn't have time to post, but she really wanted to thank everyone for their help.

  DO YOU THINK THERE'S A CURE FOR CANCER?

  by Mary in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  do you think the scientists, doctors and pharmeceutical companies know of a cure for cancer that they're not telling us?

  when you consider the leaps and bounds in medical discoveries that we've made in the last 50 years, it seems incredible that they're still using chemotherapy and radiation as the treatment for cancer.. while i was one of the lucky one who has survived cancer (so far), it's always in the back of my mind that it could return.

  we all have friends who died before their time because of this rotten disease, yet the only progress that seems to have been made is that they can now 'detect' it earlier, which of course gives you a much greater chance of survival.. there have been stories of people who have been cured through alternative medicine, yet no one in the medical field seems to be interested in anything other than chemo or radiation.

  Do they know what could cure cancer and they're just not telling us?

  I've got to say this, Mary, first, I am so greatful that you have survived your brush with cancer.I would not know what I'd do without you sweetie, and secondly..............With all the money the cancer society has collected over the years, you cannot tell me they haven't found a cure. The pharmaeceutical companies would go out of business if people were cured. Then the government would lose billions....they're all in coo-hoots with one another, if you ask me.

  When they find a drug that looks promising, they jack the price up so high, that few can afford it.

  My co-worker and friend, has just found out her cancer has spread throughout her lymph system, and they will be putting in a butterfly, so she can receive further, more aggressive treatments. And............ for when she is hospitalized.....she will not be cured. It's devastating to say the least. She had cancer when she was 23, and had a total hysterectomy. She just had a baseball sized tumor removed from her colon, 4 months ago, and she's been taking a pill form of chemo. It's not working. I'm really angry .So is my friend......she is devastated.
