  i'm really pissed off at our medical services in nova scotia right now.

  in janurary i was in a car accident on my way to work.

  someone couldn't see me driving down the road over a 5 foot high snowbank and instead of inching out to see if it was clear, he gunned it into the front of my car.

  what do you say back to a girl who said she loves you, but probably not really love just as in really good friend or something?

  i filed away the letter that i received from an elder when my mom was disfellowshipped years ago.

  it turned up the other day, reminding me again of the high control, fear based beliefs the dubs have.

  i resisted shunning my mom -- and sadly this letter is the reason i finally began shunning her.

  My favorite line is " if they show proof of sincere repentance " how does one prove this? If god knows our hearts then we have nothing to prove to anyone.

  Thank you for sharing

  What Happened?

  you know everyday something goes on around you - at home, at work, when you are travelling, on holidays.. .

  are people concerned about you today?

  is there a way when things happen and you are not sure what to do that others who have been in a similar situation be able to help you?

  Was there anything that happened that you just choose not to get involved because of the outcome later on?

  No.

  Perhaps in some situations I could have helped more if I had taken a different approach. I always help when I can and if I can't I find someone who will.

  Hib~ I'm sure that it was a scary situation for you to be in. Imagine if that woman on the ground was you and you needed help but people just got in their buses and taxis and drove away?

  As a society we get used to images of violence and suffering and often think that someone else will take care of things. It's a bad attitude to have.

  Here is a true story for you. Two weeks age while I was at work I saw a man fall over backwards to the floor in a seizure. I immediately got my receptionist to call an ambulance and to call upstairs for anyone with first aid training.I have first aid training but it never hurts to have someone else on scene who does as well. I went to the man who was seizing and made sure that nothing was in the area to hurt him. We made sure his necklace wasn't choking him and repeatedly told him that we were there to help him and an ambulance was on it's way. He was fine afterwards and declined the ambulance so we covered him with a blanket and got a pillow for his head while he recovered. His friend was with him and aware of his medical condition so once I knew he was in good hands I left. Even if you don't know first aid yourself you can get someone who does on the scene quickly.

  Please try this approach next time if you are ever in this situation again.

  Can we help each other with things that happen each day?

  Hib~how do you answer these questions in light of what happened?

  If you didn't want to call the police you could have called an ambulance or made sure that someone knew first aid and was there to administer it.

  Be the good samartian, don't wonder where they are.

  hhhhmmmmmm stale donuts are probably not going to cut it. Sorry. Even if they do come from Tims.

  If you are willing to try Massage therapy, the two local schools have student clinics for the public. The cost should be ` ~ $25 per hour session. They also both have specilized pain clinics so if your doc will provide a note stating that yes you are in chronic pain the session fee drops to ~ $5-$10 depending on the school. The students are supervised by RMTs with years of experience. And you can request a second year student.
