  Eggs

  by larc in

  2. friends

  life here in our community has been tough lately, so i thought i would put up some fluff.

  my question to you is: what is your favorite way to eat eggs?

  now, my preference is hard boiled eggs in a salad, an egg salid sandwich, and the royalty of all egg meals - eggs benedict.

  My oldest daughter named a certain egg dish 'baby eggs'. It's great for a booster, comfort food or while not feeling well.

  Hard boil 3 eggs (for one person), then mash with a fork, or heck, a potato masher. Add some butter or heck, margarine and salt and pepper to taste.

  We've also taken to eating hard boiled eggs (sliced) in a salad due to the extreme temperatures in this area as of late.

  Moe - that pic made me laugh. Thanks

  H20 vs JWD

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  h20 was a smashing success for a long time, even with many moderators.

  the board rules were basically good common sense, and expressed some issues as to matters of law, such as not violating copyright, etc.

  i don't understand why h20 went down the tank.

  Gawd was I ever hesitant to open this thread! However, I'm glad I did. I was unaware of the history behind H20 etc.

  I have it on my Favorites list, but never go there. It's the format that made me continue seeking elsewhere. I didn't know a single soul on that board, so like I said - it was the format.

  When I came here, it was (and is) a busy lil ol town of it's own, full of people and a variety of personalities. The format is easy to use, and I truly appreciate Simon and whatever monitors there are - their attempts to keep this a safe and respectable place to come. Even those given to the political flame wars know when an identity has 'crossed the line' re: abuse victims.

  I hope this forum remains for a long time. It has become home, and you all are now my family. I think about you every day.

  If worse came to worse, I would gather email and/or snail mail addys to keep in touch with those here. I don't know about the other boards or what they use to be like. I know this, for now, is a place I can depend on. And I'm thankful for that.

  Bright side of a BAD day

  by Erica in

  .

  it started out having a bad day.... no babysitter had to miss work , friend came over so i went to get a haircut, she followed me there and took care of michael, on the way home, on the freeway, i was on the the third lane to the left and the car engine shuts off and i had to get three lanes over to the right, in major traffic, i barley made and the car dies.. i started to panick cause it's dark and i have michael and i'm on a freeway.... so i get michael and start walking and praying, and this man pulled over and i started to get even more nervous but i accepted the ride, he took me to a gas station and well his truck was really high , like three in a half feet, well i had forgotten about that so when i steped out of his truck i fell with michael in my arms he started screaming and i started to ball my head off.. okay here's my point like 3 people there helped me, the gas station let me use there phone and gave me something to drink, a couple wouldn't leave until they knew i was taken care of offered me money for a cab or tow truck, they waited like 15 minutes.. i thought of you all, who really didn't know me, but were there for me when i needed it the most, there are some really great people out there, and it doesn't matter what religion you belong to.

  Sweetest Erica - Honey you have a delightful spirit in you - resilient, strong, yet not afraid to let your pain show. For some reason - perhaps because I have known moments similiar to yours today, when my babies were little, or even when I've been on the verge of giving up - to the emotional agony as of late due to my phone being shut off for 8 days as a punishment for missing a 25.00 payment (and not calling) - This hurts cos I am expecting important calls re: school for the Fall semester, and my dental and infection problems - arguements with my now (near)20yr old and plain depression...

  YOU'VE reminded me of what it's all about. People helping people; finding the good in bad situations, and telling that to others. You've reminded me of looking at the things to be thankful for.

  I was truly weary when I visited the board earlier tonight - all the political infighting and challenges to Simon etc. It was all I could do to go to bed. I slept for awhile but awoke with dental pain (root canal supposedly finished yesterday) and came down to see how things were. They weren't a whole lot different on the board, so I visited the news - and came back. Your post was here.

  I'm so sorry you had a Murphy's Law day. (I believe that my zodiac sign is Murphy's Law! Yet I am so happy that honest and safe people helped you and your baby. I hope you and Michael weren't hurt in the fall from that truck. I know when my babies were little (on dear, so long ago), if I tripped and fell while holding them, I made sure I got the brunt of it. I think it's a mother's instinct that takes over. And when we are with our children, we realize that we must be strong - for their sake - they need us.

  This is very long hon, but I thank you for sharing what happened to you, and I want you to know that you've touched my heart - not from what happened - but with how you dealt with it and for sharing it.

  You are one very special lady and I hope one day I will have the chance to give you a hug.

  Take care of you and Michael. Here's to tomorrow going better.

  ((((((((((((((((((((((((((Erica and Michael))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

  lotsa love, Mimilly/Salem

  Lew - Thank you for commenting, and I am so sad for what you had to go through. I was 3yrs old when I watched my brother, Craig, dragged and run over by a streetcleaner. (driver was hungover). I often wonder what life would be like had he lived. My life was also touched by suicide - my closest friend, Starr, and I blame the elders and the borg as I know she tried her best. She left two children behind, but I feel no anger towards her. I know what it's like to be 'there'. I also came into contact with it during my work on the ambulance. It is so sad. But as you said, some people just cannot handle any more. I know if I lost my daughters, people would have to watch me closely.

  UglyDuckling - hon, there is no such thing as normal; There is only reality! Hugs!

  Salem, your true talent is verbal ability
  
  You seem to know how to pick the right words for almost every occasion. Beyond your ability to interpret information and articulate your points, you appear to understand the power and aesthetic appeal behind language. Your verbal knowledge can make you versatile in expressing yourself. And your skills in this arena also allow you to pick up subtle meanings behind what people say.
  
  These specialized communication skills can be of huge value in a variety of business and social environments.
  
  How do we know that your true talent is verbal ability? While you were taking the test, we calculated your responses to each test question, and noticed that, relative to others, you consistently answered questions that measure verbal ability correctly.

  (the darn thing is right!)

  DID AN ELDER EVER HELP YOU?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are so many horror stories about elders.

  many people dislike or can't stand elders, in general.

  a number here have been truly hurt by some.

  There were two elders who actually cared about my circumstances. They were extremely caring individuals. Elder number one, one of the ones that ended up judging me, had tears in his eyes when he came to my door to tell me I'd been Df'd. I learned later that he ended up on the psych ward. He did everything he could but was then told to stay away from me because I bewitched men.

  Elder number two told the original perverted elders to leave me alone for three weeks while I adjusted to life outside the hospital. This elder was very prominent and on his way to being a CO. I was in his congregation at the tmie, but they didn't listen to him. He also stepped in to correct the father of my children when he was emotionally abusing them by telling them I was going to die on a daily basis or for not paying child support and constantly ending up in court.

  Sadly, in the end, they tow the party line. I really think elder number one was hard hit by it though.

  Ugly Duckling - while some people go under hypnosis - I never did. I never tried to remember any of the incidents 'so' vividly - that is why they are called flashbacks. It just happens, usually from a 'trigger'.

  Do some research before making such a comment please. No one would 'want' to go through that again willingly.
