Hortensia, hugs from me, too! I can imagine a similar event here at my home, as my husband has been pretty unstable, unpredicatable, and armed to the teeth, too. I admire your courage and hope you've talked to an attorney. I think divorce is a good legal move. That will separate you legally, and financially. Too many of us are immobilized......

52worst week in my life
by Hortensia inlast monday my husband, a nice guy, after ranting for a bit about terrorists, came over to me, to kiss me i thought.
he hit my head and then started to choke me, shouting "be healed.
" i managed to get away from him and he kept yelling "be healed" and saying that i was bewitched and had put a curse on him.

Lazy, pathetic dubs
by Chameleon inat my school (community college), throughout the week, there are always two dub ladies off to the side of the main path where the bookstore and academic offices are located.. they usually get there in the morning and bring some folding chairs and a table where they place the tower and awake rags, among other things.. anyway, i usually take a break near their "spot," since it's close to the cafeteria.
i have never seen them try to talk to anyone.
they just watch people pass by while they talk to each other.. good job, dub ladies.

Personally, I woundn't "mess" with them, as once I was an unhappy reluctant magazine peddler. My guess is they don't want to talk to anyone. They may have their own misgivings about the material, or are fearful of a confrontation. If it were me, I'd give brief smile and nod daily, and watch their back for them. If they ever approached you, you could say, "I see you out here almost daily. I appreciate that you don't try to monopolize my time. I'm not interested in your PRODUCT but I do keep an eye out for your safely. Have a good day!"

I remember being 'used' in the program at assemblies a couple of times. She'll hear about how priviledged she is be used as an example for other Christian youth (am I the only one who cringes at the word "Youth" or, even worse, "Youths"?) I remember preening a little at the idea of sitting on the platform and feeling pretty self-righteous. When I became old enough to get baptized but was a hold-out, those parts disappeared, thank goodness.

My hometown cong. has a mass exodus over some scandal (?) and the society imported several families from the next county over to suppliment. Some moved, others drive. Add in a couple of the downsized Bethel boys....so now it's back to 50-60, I think. Max in the 70's was 80-100.

This topic is something pretty painful for me right now. I thought all my life that all moral dilemmas like this were black and white, clear and understood. Good people don't have affairs, so the "innocent" mate would be self-righteously horrified (and blameless and victimized by the evil adulterer). Well, things at my house are not so clear and defined any more.

Has your work up in the past ruled out arrhythmia (irregular heart beats that can cause tiny clots), clotting abnormalities, chronic DVT's, carotid artery narrowing, severe hypertensive episodes, etc? TIA's can be a warning that you are at risk for "the big one", or can just be mysterious, frightening episodes that are called TIA's for lack of a better label. Your doctor should decide if aspirin therapy or some other anticoagulant would be helpful, or if some underlying cause can be treated.
If symptoms of a stroke (loss of vision, weakness in one arm and/or leg, speech problems, inability to communicate, etc) occur, go immediately to an emergency department. If diagnosed early, 'clot buster' medication may be used to restore blood supply to the brain before permanent damage occurs.
This is in no way intended to diagnose or direct your care, just my input as the nurse who administers those meds. See a real doctor!

Hey, nurses: The March issue of Nursing 2007 has an article entitled "Can a Bloodless Surgery Program Work in the Trauma Setting?" pp.54-56. It's very pro-witness. I'm tempted to write a 'comment from readers' but not sure what to say. Anyone else read it? I'm not sure how to scan it on here or I'd post it.

I have a secretary at work who drives me nuts! She is loud, nibby, multiple loud personal phone conversations all day, blunt and rude to the customers and coworkers....I could go on and on. Our complaints fall on deaf ears, as the differences are explained as 'cultural' differences and this is just how 'they' are, and I should go to the cultural diversity training again...NOT.

My funny Memorial story...
by nsrn ini think i told this story last year on here, but it's worth repeating for a good laugh.. my last memorial i attended was with my daughter, who was about 5. i took her and went to please my parents, of course.
my daughter went to church with me regularly and so i had done the intense 'instructions' enroute about not partaking, etc.
i got more and more tense as we arrived and got out of the car.

My daughter went to church with me regularly and so I had done the intense 'instructions' enroute about not partaking, etc. I got more and more tense as we arrived and got out of the car. I mumbled to my daughter/myself on the death march in "I feel like a whore in church!"
Well, you guessed it. We weren't there 2 minutes when my daughter's voice piped up with, "Grandma, why does Mommy feel like a whore in church?"
Silence echoed. Mom mumbled something about 'she probably does feel a little uncomfortable here....' and never mentioned it to me again.
