Changeling, with every story you seem to outdo yourself.
This is excellent literary work.
Maybe you could put them into a collection as "Bible Stories for JDubs".
Really, you amaze me.
Enjoyed very much. Write us more.

is it congenital or acquired?
how is your BP?
Do you have any other medical conditions such as diabetes, etc?
What meds are you currently taking?
Many factors to be considered before giving answer on this.
And you should be careful from whom you accept medical advice, whether its magazine articles or non-professionals.
Always ask your doctor first about any course of action, or diet, that you suspect could have an effect on your heart.
Talk to your pharmacist about any drug interactions with other drugs or alcohol.

Of pianos and possibilities.
by RollerDave ina piano is a funny thing.. it sits in the corner, seeming to be solid, hulking, static; but it is not.. somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty tons of pressure are contained in each one, strings stretched tights by the plate, pressing down on a bridge across a soundboard; if the pressure of just a few strings were suddenly released the imbalance could fracture the huge cast iron plate in a catastrophic fashion reminiscent of a grenade.. yet, we let our children play them, bang on them, watch tv right next to them, it is a testament both to how well they are made and how little most of us truly understand about them.. when you press a key, it actuates an incredibly precise sequence that strikes a string or strings with a felt hammer just so yet it uses woof, felt, buckskin and other materials you might not associate with precision.. that old piano in the corner lives and breathes after a fashion.
the lightest change in humidity and all of its wooden bit start subtly shifting, moving, altering its pitch and regulation, yet for the desired tone, you can't use anything but wood.. this means a properly cared for piano requires service a minimum of twice yearly, and this requires a registered piano technician.. my daughter has been taking classes to be a piano technician, and what she has been bringing home has been fascinating!.
this girl is 19 and knows what she wants to do, and is on fire for this field.. she is the 'possibility' part of my post title, as she is all possibility at this time.. when she turned 18, we got her auxiliary cards on all our credit accounts, and she already had a job at target, she paid her bills, worked hard, and got offers of her own.. now she is in school and had paid in full be credit card for her courses, and got a deal through amex that gives her a better interest rate than student loans.. her school had a couple pianos, she had another card, she charged 'em.

If there was a cure for 'narrow minded ignorance'................
by ThomasCovenant inwould you force people (those that you consider narrow minded and ignorant of course) to take that cure?.
if not, then what would be the point of the cure or even wishing for such a cure?
those 'afflicted' would be blissfully unaware of their condition and would never take it voluntarily.. thanks.

previously posted by the host of this thread:
Species will die out without reproduction and therefore homosexuality is an illness or aberration the same as Downs syndrome. .... if your child had Downs Syndrome and there was a cure most if not all people would take the cure. Now if your child had the genetic makeup to become homosexual and there was a 'cure' available would that be the same thing?
would anyone consider this a "narrow-minded statement". Who really needs the cure here?

How many of you were deterred from a career goal and now, since leaving, are back on the path that you wanted to pursue?

Enviroligionism--we could all be wearing burkas, purple dots etc...
by oompa inmy word for it.
isn't our environment the #1 factor in our religious beliefs?
this insanity of the 6 million jw's all uniquely having hit the truth lottery is making me sick.

Starting off, oompa, you are right. We have no choice in our circumstances of beginning.
I think that's why scriptures refer to some of us as the "overcomers".
Those with a certain intelligence and curiousity will get past our humble beginnings.
Or maybe its Darwinism..."survival of the fittest".
Maybe its all a test. Those who pass will be "brought together". (Thinking of how the angels are suppossed to separate and round us up at feeding time for the "great marriage feast".)

those that you consider narrow minded and ignorant of course
Someone please give this self righteous person a definition of narrow minded and ignorant and hand him a mirror.
Better yet, give a definition and an example of such a statement. Please.
