not good at lying...and to complicate matters, I'm not really a "good associate", if you know what I mean. They, (my brother and sister in law), don't seem to want me in their lives.

It's not for atheists only...I just hoped I'd get their attention.

My oldest brother is about 10 years older than me. He married a girl that I adored. She always was the most upbeat, positive, energetic, go-gettem person that I ever knew. Everyone loves her. She's been a "pioneer" since she left high school, I think.

She's 37.

This past Spring she was diagnosed with cancer. As is typical with this disease, (dear reader: if you have not experienced this yet, you are lucky, and you will not fully comprehend my comments following...consider yourself blessed if that's the case), she had a bad diagnosis, then hope, then a bad diagnosis, then hope. My father once said that 'this cancer thing is one big disappointment after another'. I cannot express it anymore concisely than that.

After about six months of these flip flops, the ecstatic news came that she would be ok after surgery. We discovered that

they were wrong. They opened her up to do her surgery and closed her back up without doing it. Why? The cancer is all through her....not just in her bowel where they knew it was, but in so many other places that it was useless to operate. She has six months, at most, to live. No family history...lived a completely healthy, active life.

Those of you who are atheist, could you please tell me if you were in my shoes, how you would try to comfort her and my brother? What would you say or do?

I have no faith...no belief system...and this thing is so hard...I just don't know what to do or say.

gawwddd...the lies they tell! 'up to each individual to decide'?!!! Saddest thing of all is that they are so mind-controlled that they truly don't think they are lying when they say shit like this.

Babysitter taught daughter to pray to Jesus, JW moms NOT happy

by Netty in

i have a new babysitter, and she asked my permission to teach my daughter to pray before she eats.

i said absolutley go for it, i would like that.

fast forward a couple of weeks, sitting by my (jw) mom on the couch, she is appalled "did you know the babysitter taught (daughter) to say thank you for the food jesus"????

Kaethra

so funny...they are hard pressed to admit when confronted that it was Jesus who created everything earthly-wise....they'll say Jehovah created through Jesus, but according to their own holy book it was Jesus who did the creating! If I make a fabulous meal I don't say that my mother made it through me! I made it myself, goddamn it!

In other words, if your daughter is to thank any invisible judeo-christian version of god for her food, it ought to be Jesus. :)

Diarhea is hereditary

by HappyDad in

heard from a famous comic:

medical scientists have now confirmed that diarhea is hereditary.

they have found traces of it in peoples jeans.

Kaethra

Years ago, I heard it told this way: 'Did you know that diarrhea is hereditary?' *pause for effect* :) 'Yeah, it runs in your jeans.'

An old friend of mine thought the joke was hilarious and he tried to tell it to some other friends. (btw...he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.) He said, 'Did you know that diarrhea is hereditary?' *pause* 'Yeah. It runs down your pants.' guffaw Those of us who knew what the joke actually was thought his version was even funnier. har!

vitamin E on cuts to prevent and/or heal scars

hold your breath and drink water for the hiccups...gets the epiglottis (sp?) wet

I'm curious about this "less odiferous" way Frannie. :)

Sheila - What does being married or not have to do with yeast infections anyway??

Are "New Age" women more sexually open?

by logansrun in

i tend to think so.

perhaps it's the kama sutra thing, but it seems that most women who are into astrology, clairvoyance, eastern religions, yoga and the like are more open sexually.

also, it seems that most women either are involved in christianity or the new age.

Kaethra

of course.

My goofy cat Kato...

by Jim_TX in

i have this cat.

he is part siamese.

his name is kato.

Kaethra

*smile* I loves me a man who loves cats. :)

Wasn't the Pink Panther's Kato a spoof of Bruce Lee's character??

I have a cat who is part siamese too...he's gorgeous, sleek and all black like a panther. I always wanted an all black cat and let me tell you, this kitty is so black he's blue. He has a similar predilection to your Kato's. He loves it when I just give him that Look and race up the stairs to hide behind something...then I jump out and scare him and he runs and hides behind something and jumps out to "scare" me, and the game is ON!

They are such a joy.

Edited to add: I loved your Kato comparison Running Man...lol!
