  Fellow ice cruncher and cellulitis patient here. I'm sending healing thoughts your way. Don't worry about not responding to the antibiotics right away. It was the same for everyone I know who had cellulitis except for me. Mine was almost all cleared up the day after I started the medication. Eventually the antibiotics will get to that infection. Do they have you on a blood thinner to decrease the chances of a blood clot?

  i'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

  i think i have a similar story to others who were brought up in the so called "truth" but after reading so many stories i thought i'd finally get around to writing mine:.

  like i said, i was raised into it and almost my entire immediate family where (and for the most part still are) serious members.

  I watched this episode of 20/20, and it said that Nancy was a jw but didn't mention him being one. However, anyone with any information about jws would know that he took a lot of jw ideas for his own religion. Back when this case first broke, I posted an article about him asking if he could be a jw, because of the many similar beliefs.

  Sparlockgate - the YouTube copyright clampdown continues!

  by cedars in

  2. friends

  you may remember some time ago i released a song entitled "sparlock we love you" on youtube.. the song was a parody of the "become jehovah's friend" dvd, and became very popular - with well over 10,000 views last time i checked.. i did consider the possibility that the society would complain on grounds of copyright infringement, because i used some specially-altered versions of images on the dvd, such as the one below.... .

  however, i shrugged this off, because i thought even the society wouldn't be as petty as to publically complain about the way the images were used.. nevertheless, they did.

  today i got the following email.... dear john cedars,we have disabled the following material as a result of a third-party notification from watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvanias, claiming that this material is infringing:.

  ...but this is a major one because she is permanently changing her visible features...

  Outsmartthesystem, as I stated in an earlier post, my stepson wore those awful gauges for probably a year. The holes were HUGE! Just this morning I carefully examined his earlobes, (he thought I'd gone completely crazy until I explained why I was doing it), and his earlobes are normal.

  Better than "True Blood" - at least, in remaining somewhat 'true' to the original mythologies.

  Zid, don't tell me you're dissing True Blood. Oh, it hurts my heart, dear friend! I am obsessed with that show. And at least it gets people thinking about mythology. I've looked up tons of stuff to learn more about it.

  Love, love, love that show! The premise, the writing, the acting are all great. Plus it's kind of a home grown production. It's filmed in Portland, and the lead actor and tons of extras live there.

  Edited to add: Let us know when your granddaughter will be on and what part she's playing, so we'll be sure to look for her.
