Good for you, brother. Alcohol is not the answer, but were it me, I would be SEVERELY tilted towards a martini right now....
Wish you a speedy "recovery"!

personally, i have never felt an earthquake in my life.

Yes, a 6.5 and the feeling is unmistakable...deep inside your gut. It was over 25 years ago and I still remember distinctly.
adam and eve never were held by a mother, cuddled and sung to with lullabyes nor nursed and coddled with tenderness and familial embrace.. they never learned to toddle surrounded by brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles and grandparents cheering them on.. adam and eve were never in a neighborhood with other kids forming friendship bonds for life and exchanging dreams and hopes for a future they were building in their community.. adam and eve didn't learn nursery rhymes or sit in their daddy's lap and read bedtime stories or get tucked in and kissed goodnight.. adam woke up naked and stranded among animals with no companion and only invisible voices directing him.. like a blind man in social darkness completely deprived of human touch.. he did not grow up among little girls or lovely teens or older women in a natural life cycle of beauty and age.. he never saw his mommy kiss his daddy.. what love might mean between people was never modeled in front of his eyes.. he did not select a choice of mates among many nor enjoy the attention of those vying for his notice.. adam was surgically anesthetized and his own body rummaged for spare parts.. he awoke to the only human he'd ever seen: eve.. what being a man or women was as infant, toddler, teen, young adult and such was a darkness of nothing to their experience.. they were strangers.. .
how is this being human at all?.
is it any wonder their first and most important choices were dysfunctional?.
My "perfect" comment above is tongue-in-cheek, should that have not been apparent.....

A sobering perspective, Terry....
..but, they didn't NEED all this, they were perfect after all.
Or, were they?

), the congregation bible study wrapped up the come be my follower book last week.
we're now into the bearing thorough witness publication.
Immaculate CON-ception, what can I say....
Folks, you would have a field day if you saw some of the old Soviet movies. Believe me, the worst Hollywood productions are infinitely better than most of the Mosfilm miscarriages...

Not to spoil your party, but that may be a mail fraud or some other nasty offense...The Borg recently used DMCA law to pull the elders manual from a bunch of sharing websites...with this they may have a field day skinning you slowly for the enjoyment of the old farts up north...
And Caesar will have to help them with the whole thing too....courts and all.
Not worth the potential trouble, IMO.
1 time 8 = 8. .
2 times 8 = 16. .
half times 16 = 8. .
...also, "times" could be void of a numeric value - as in "good times"
How's the math adding up then, uh?
1 time 8 = 8. .
2 times 8 = 16. .
half times 16 = 8. .
My BIL has been in the Army in his younger years.
I asked him: "If you were assigned a task where your life and the lives of the entire platoon depended on it - say defusing an antitank mine - and your platoon commander gave you the instructions: "turn the knob a time, times and a half a time to defuse, otherwise the mine will explode"...if the instructions were that "specific" would you just go ahead and do it, would you run back to the commander for clarification, or would you just stay out of it until confident in what you are doing"?
Expectedly, he didn't have an answer....yet he is still in with his "Jehovah this-Jehovah that" wife....
when there`s a disaster... the wbt$ money pig is never far away... .
jehovah`s witness`s donate material,money and labour..to help fellow jehovah`s witness`s... then... .

I say easily one Billion Dollars.
And since Outlaw is big on visuals, here is what it would look like:
