I will never have the mother/ daughter relationship that every person should experience.

Ditto, but I'm learning from my mother's mistakes. What happened with her and I will NOT happen with my daughter and me.
Not to be morbid, but you might want to inquire after her health. Your experience is very similar to my own, cutting off the grandkid, getting back in contact after three years, acting like we'd been talking all along. Except my mom did it because her cancer recurred.
Maybe your mother has just learned a little bit more about life and what's really important in the past nine years. One thing you do know for sure is that as much as you may have missed her, she probably missed you two or three times as much. How empty would you feel every day without one of your children?

In the U.S. version, the episode where they play basketball is the best. Definitely check that one out. The sidekick assistant manager/assistant to the manager is horribly miscast in the U.S. series.
Nothing can touch the original. In the special, when Dawn walked back into the office. . . I have no words.
My daughter bought me the boxed DVD set for Mother's Day. I love her.

The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"
by Leolaia in
1. watchtower
2. bible
finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.

we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.

apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

Fascinating work, Ms. Leo. Thanks for writing and sharing.
Did you come across anything in your research that referred to the cross as a phallic symbol? My mom always went on and on about that and I'm pretty sure I've seen something about it in the WTS literature.
I never understood the big deal though. Wouldn't a stake be even more phallic than a cross? Most phalluses (phalli?) (at least the ones I've seen [in my very limited experience, of course]) don't have a crossbeam.

i have read in several of your posts that you are a doctor, what is your line of practice?

if you would share that with us here that would be cool.

It means he's none too fond of the glorious one. Ewan is utterly pantsless in a lot of his movies, but that's not why I like him. Really. I swear.

i've been out of the org for around 10 years, so i'm not up on some of the jargon being used on the board.. would anyone mind making a list defining the acronyms being used (as many as you can think of)?

i know there are tons of them; some of which are self-explanitory, and others have me stumped.

i see a new one every time i log on.

What's the fuss about CLEARPLAY? Latest in TV/DVD censorship

LOL @ DantheMan
Funny thing is, they've managed to survive watching every James Bond movie that came along (really just about ANY pg13 movie).
Ain't that the truth. My brother lets his kids (since they were little) watch any PG13 movie, doesn't matter how violent, simply because it's not rated R.
Here's what's funny: He let them watch "From Hell," a graphically violent R-rated movie (albeit a good one), because he thought it was edited. (It wasn't - I've watched R-rated movies on the same channel and they were identical to the theater version.) He had no internal censor to tell him that this was too damn violent for his young children to watch. I was with them for a week and I swear those boys talked about that movie every single day. Whenever my brother would hear them bring up some particularly horrific scene, he'd say, "It's okay - it was edited."
