More helpful is lots of handwashing and sending people home when they are sick.
Amen to that. If people would just stay home and rest for a day or two when they first get sick, they'd get better faster and pass their germs to fewer people.

any suggestions on how to save the contacts?

I made saline solution with iodized salt, soaked my contacts in i, and then tried to wear themt. It hurt like hell. You know how iodine hurts when you put it on a cut? Llike that, only in my eye.
Given a choice between iodized saline solution and tap water, I'd use tap water. I've tried that, too; it stings a bit, but only for a second. My lenses were unwearable after soaking in the iodized saline solution.
Your homemade saline solution is a good idea, but I'd recommend kosher salt, sea salt, or non-iodized table salt.

Women (please don't sister bash me after this girls) also tend to gossip a lot.
People tend to gossip a lot.
I mean elders meetings would turn into high tea, who did what to whom and why and how.
Isn't that what they talk about now? Oh, no, wait, that's the JC. My bad.

10 years from now, when we have a tofu-farting liberal in the White House, George W. Bush will be seen as a brave and fearless leader. People will be saying, "If only Bush were in office..."
Which people? The ones who already think he's a brave and fearless leader?

I received a notice, too, and it looked legitimate to me. I filed for the $25 instant refund. The website where I filed didn't ask me for anything but the refund ID number on the notice.

2. Add one heaping teaspoon of salt. For this use, kosher salt is best, but table salt will do if it is all that you have. Stir the salt to disolve it, then let it sit for 15 minutes so that any insoluable particles will settle out.
Bolding mine. Do not use iodized salt. I give this advice freely based on my own painful experience.

The meaning of the word elder is "older man."
The meaning of the word elder is "older." That the older person is male is assumed by some, including JWs.

Of course, the JW reply will be that once a person has committed marital infidelity, s/he is longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

I need some advice...my first post!
by Dehliah ini've been around for awhile, but never registered for fear of giving my personal information (yes, that's how much the borg scares me.
i was raised in the org, and left when i was 18. i realized that every religion firmly believed that they were correct, and that forced me to re-evaluate the religion on its merits, as opposed to my insistent belief.
needless to say, i saw the man behind the curtain.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your cousin, and the behavior of your family.
Remember that you never, ever, have to speak or meet with anyone if you don't want to -- that includes the elders. It's easy to forget that when you've been raised to believe in their authority. If they ask to meet with you, say no. If you have caller ID, don't answer the phone when they call.
Be strong, and remember, your life is yours to live and no one else's. Live the life you want, and make that life a memorial to your cousin.

I don't think ice will help. The blood needs to be resorbed, and I don't see how ice would speed that process.
