greets all.
just wondering, any here have an ulcer,,or have had one?.
how did you know, and has it healed or does it stay with you forever?.
I don't have an ulcer but know of some experiences where people who have had ulcers did this detox cleanse and it helped them.
In one case, the ulcer is said to have healed and the man doesn't have the ulcer any longer. Don't know how true it is but can't hurt to explore this.
http://www.thelemonadediet.com I have the book and I did the cleanse for 1 1/2 weeks. It was hard the first couple of days but after that not so bad. I kept myself busy so as to not think about it very much.

dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
Hi All:
It's been over a week since I posted. Alot has been going on. First off, the Historical Foundation Gala/Jitterbug contest was fun. Me and Hubby had a great time and are actually planning to take dance lessons. I haven't signed up for any yet but we will. I ran into several people I hadn't seen for ages and got to connect again. We've been invited to a baptist church and are thinking about visiting it soon.
Friday I took the day off work to prepare for my annual halloween party. Cleaned and decorated and bought last minute groceries for the party. Picked up my SIL for that day and she helped out with the chores. Saturday was the big party, had lots of fun and nearly everyone dressed up. The highlight of this whole event was my aunt and uncle that came with their two boys. They have completed the JW fade and they wanted to come to the party. Not only did they come, they all dressed up too!
Sunday came down with a stomach sickness...yuck! Someone who came to our party gave us the stomach virus and I'm finally back at work. I took off Monday, Tuesday and 1/2 day yesterday from work. Finally was able to get anti-nausea meds from my doc and they've helped today although my appetite is not completely back yet. Just trying to take it light.
Whew....it's been a rough 7 days and it's not over yet! Thank goodness I'm young.......

Once there, and you get the "feel" for the event, you just rather fit in
You captured it perfectly. Thanks CoCo!

Hi CoCo:
I started reading this thread when it was born and then lost track of it. Glad I found it today.
Tomorrow night I have to go to a 40's themed Gala benefiting the Foundation for Historical Louisiana. I don't want to go because inevitably I'll have to speak to someone I don't want to.....feels like going to the meeting and getting trapped by Sister Elder who wants to make plans for service. There's going to be a jitterbug contest. I don't know how to do the Jitterbug or Waltz. My husband is so excited about going and he doesn't even know how to do either of those dances either. BTW, we aren't entering the contest. I haven't told him I'm dreading this, I just didn't want to burst his bubble. Well, I got the dress and the shoes and I suppose Jack Daniels will help me along the way. How am I going to get through the night?? Ugh.

ever see those two british women on tv that go into some slob's home that looks like something out of a stephen king novel?
take their quiz to see if you're a neat-freak, or a sloth-in-waiting: http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/100/quiz.jsp.

Restrangled....you beat me to it. I wash mine in the dishwasher also, but only 2 times max. Then it goes to the trash.

Congratulations...you've earned your stripes, comrade. Your house is winning the war on terror--against dust mites, staph, E-coli, salmonella, and other vermin who seek to infiltrate your borders. Your Department of Homeland Security is nothing but a well-cleaned mop, a dishwashing sponge you replace biweekly, and some strategic enemy surveillance that prevents terrorist incidents before they occur. A little vigilance is always good for keeping your house protected; making the bed, disinfecting the fridge, organizing your mail, and dusting your book shelves all contribute to a safe zone. But look at us preaching to choir. For tips on how to keep your house from invasion, watch How Clean Is Your House? on Wednesday nights.
Well, I guess I'm doing a little better than I thought. YAY ME!
check out my new avatar!
so the opposite of a sweet face, but he's so adorable.
i love his nose!
Love your new avatar.
this may or may not make sense.. i am an atheist.
i have issues with there not being a creator because of the beuty of life and especially my children.
but, for me, their are just to many negative things about 'creation' to be 100% about this belief.
First off, In answer to your question, I say YES. I believe that you can be grateful for your kids but not grateful to god.
Why do I say this? I'm not sure I have a coherent answer.
I am someone who has not yet said that I am an athiest. Partly because I think I don't want to believe that there is NOT a god. Add that to the fact that my husband definitely believes in God and Jesus. I tell him I believe in them but I'm not sure I believe myself. I do this to keep the peace. He wants to go to church because he feels a need to have god in his life again after several years of abandonment. He never was at the point to not believe but just didn't go to church.
I on the other hand, believed with my whole heart that Jehovah was God and Jesus was his son. I guess I still do, the problem is I can't believe that God would let a crack mama have babies who are addicted to crack. Then me, who strives to keep myself healthy and doing all the "right" things still CANNOT get pregnant. I am doing all the right things. I swear.
This is not the only issue I have with GOD. I was a dubby for my whole life up until a few years ago. My ex husband was a total scum bag, yet he is STILL in good standing with the BORG. Wait on Jehovah, well I did and it was slowly KILLING me (literally). I am finally free and I had to take this action on my own.
Well, while typing this I come to realize that it's not GOD with the issue but the BORG. I am still bitter and find it hard to walk into another building that supports organized religion. My current husband has tried to get me into a Catholic church and a Baptist church. I cannot bring myself to do either. I believe right now in this point in my life that Organized Religion is a RACKET.
I guess I'll stop venting now.
Thanks for the topic.

i just joined to see if i could find a few long lost friends, i would love to add anyone here that has a page.

here's mine: http://www.myspace.com/ms0578
i have been sworn to secrecy on a couple of matters that will soon be evident in this regard.
sorry to be 'cryptic' here - but timing is everything when one is trying to bring the very serious [and often ignored in the press] matter of child sexual abuse to the fore.
with barbara anderson's permission, i reproduce part of pages 66 to 68 here for discussion..
However, these policies were designed to prevent cooperation with secular investigators. For instance, when an elder called the Legal Department he would be asked what state he lived in. If that state required clergy to report child abuse to law enforcement, a recommendation was made that the elder make an anonymous call from a telephone booth. No doubt this was done so that law enforcement authorities would be unable to contact them for more information.They don't want to cooperate - they just want to avoid being labeled as non-cooperative. They likely have masses of evidence and statements that the officials could use to put justice to the perp, but this will never be seen by the authorities. SO, they kind of turn them in, but reluctantly, only in the places where the law stipulates it as required, and then only anonymously from a phone booth at times. Everything short of total non cooperation is evident here.
Those F*&%krs. Makes me sick to my stomache.
