In what chronological order do you believe our 5 basic senses evolved?

by sabastious in

jw
friends

here's my guess:.

1. touching.

2. hearing.

mummatron

1. TOUCHING
2. HEARING
3. TASTING
4. SEEING
5. SMELLING

That's my guess, and I think this because this is the order they develop in utero in humans, with the exception of smelling which develops immediately after birth but is nonetheless crucial for survival on a dry-land environment. Whereas the first 3 I listed are more primitive senses. Fossils over 100 million years old have a basic nervous system which would have allowed them to feel. As we move further along the fossil record, organisms become more sophisticated in terms of sensory evolution with features such as eyes and noses being more recent developments.

Just a guess though. Not something I've ever thought about before.

How can i make my cat drink?

by highdose in

jw
friends

its the height of the summer here and i think my eldery cat is not drinking enough.

his urine smells strong like human patients that i used to work with did when they hadn't drunk enough.. hes got fresh water down all the time, but hes not touching it?.

mummatron

My cat gets UTIs a few times a year. I have to try a few things to get her to drink. One time I had some prescription food from the vet with a high water content. That was expensive, so I usually just mix about 150ml of water into her meals instead. A crushed garlic clove mixed into meals works quite well to encourage them to drink without making them thirsty.

Warningby Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

...have a lot of appropriate lyrics given my current situation.

i coincidentally have been listening to a lot of their tracks lately, and started noticing that i identified with a lot of them.

"every day is exactly the same".

Yup, big NIN fan here.

Head Like a Hole pretty much sums up the whole JW experience if you ask me...

God money I'll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to.
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don't want everything he wants it all.
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
God money's not looking for the cure.
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure.
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God money's not one to choose
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.

You know who you are.

Urinary Tract Infection=proof of premarital sex

by rebel8 in

jw
friends

in the twisted jw world, that is..... http://cultprevention.blogspot.com/2011/08/ah-memories.html.

mummatron

My mother was convinced I was having sex so she punished me by refusing to stop for bathroom breaks during the 3-hour drive home. I can't explain the agony this caused.

OMG! That's child abuse. The last thing anyone with a bladder infection should do is not go - that keeps the infection growing inside the bladder and urinary tract. Poor girl.

UTI's can be serious. I had one whilst pregnant and was hospitalised for 3 days.

jaycee dugard was held in captivity for 18 years by philip garrido and his accomplice, wife nancy - a jw!

lots of video evidence and interviews in this candid documentary.. if you're late reading this and want to see it, it'll be repeated on more4 on sunday the 28th.. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/jaycee-my-18-years-in-captivity.

mummatron

Sick isn't it?

They were both sentenced and imprisoned. Jaycee is getting compensation from State funds as there were many failures in Garrido's existing parole that prevented her and her daughters from being discovered earlier.

My study teacher just text me.....do I ignore it, or give her a great one liner?

by Pams girl in

shes a nice girl.

nothing against her personally.

she hasnt been in touch for monthes, havent seen her for monthes.. is something happening that she needs my bum on a seat for?.

mummatron

Well, personally I would either not bother replying, or just respond "Fine thanks", no asking how she is or anything that could further a conversation you don't want.

Though if you had the balls to do it, a picture message (they say a picture paints a thousand words, LOL) of you sat reading CoC, next to some Xmas decs, tucking into a plate of black pudding, with a demonized Smurf on your shoulder, would sure do the job!

See you tomorrow!

Just dropped the laptop, speakers not working.....can you help?

by Pams girl in

i dropped the laptop a few weeks ago, and when i went to play some music from my favourites list, it was slow and distorted.

i just dropped it again (it was balanced on the arm of the chair) and have noticed that everything requiring sound, all videos, youtube, everything, isnt playing properly...i can hear the sound, but its like its underwater, disjointed, it stops, freezes, starts slowly........oh dear im in soooooo much trouble with hubby.. question.......is my laptop buggered completely, or is this type of problem fixable?

(not separate speakers, they are inside laptop if you get me) sounds all "chewed up" kinda noise.

mummatron

PM me the make & model. I've got a few dead craptops here that I may be able to cannibalise for replacement speaker parts.
