I hear (was involved in a convo about this the other day at lunch, never been myself) that it hurts as much as someone pinching you... But I'd wear a cup to be safe. Some places you don't want pinching.

thought you'd might like to know but i'm officially out.

it feels great all the hurt, guilt, fear and paranoia questioning, doubts, etc etc are finally gone and it tastes and feels good what a relief.

no more pain and sorrow, only jubilation along with a sense of being finally at peace with myself.

Funny English

although we live in spain, i've always spoken exclusively english to my two children since there were born (a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year old girl).

since i am their only "source" of english, their level leaves a lot to be desired, although they can have conversations with english speakers without any trouble.

also the fact that many words have exactly the same pronunciation but a different spelling and meaning doesn't help much.. when my son was 3 or 4 i told him that hitler didn't like jews at all.

There was a Brother™ who was new to American Sign Language. He was giving a talk on the subject of why you don't punish children while angry. After the talk, someone approached him. Apparently, he had spent five minutes on stage telling people not to punish their children while hungry.

(The sign for hungry and angry are the same... just done in the opposite direction)

Skull a symbol of death

by loosie in

my daughter has a shirt that has a skull on it.

she wore it to school.

afterall it is halloween and skulls are the in thing.

A lot of schools will allow crosses, but not pentacles. Depending on the area where you live, the school system tends to be hypocritical and intolerant. I had many Wiccan "friends" (or as close as a JW can get to that, anyway) in High School. (shame on me... ) It was at times almost painful to watch the way they were discriminated against.

Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if they won't allow skulls, but will allow crosses.
