one recent afternoon, me and a buddy were taking a trek around a nearby neighborhood and made our way past a delapidated house that had all the familiar symptoms of being haunted.
he suggested we check it out so, of course, we did.
it looked like it had been abandoned probably 30-40 years earlier but the previous owners had left behind a small coffee table.
Ah yes, sleep paralysis. Very Scary when it happens and you don't know what it is! I read about it years ago, and was relieved to learn that what I was experiencing had a name. Now when it happens, I just talk myself through it. Knowledge is power.
Witness My Fury-When I was really little, I had a dream about a Fisher-Price toy phone talking to me. I have hated those damned little phones ever since. It was very real and for years, I too, thought it really happened!

in the above thread, the special pioneer slip asks if a sister is over 40. i had never seen anything like this, and wondered if anyone knew why.. nc.
Cuckoo-that's what I thought, though I wondered if it might be a stipend for 'feminine hygiene' products, and they were hoping that soon they wouldn't have to pay for these necessary things.

Why do they ask if the person is a "Sister over 40"?
i watch cops tv show(usa) from time to time.
i noticed that some cops intitated traffic stops of people that went to the well known drug houses and they take the buyers to jail because of possession of drugs, but i was wondering why they leave the well known drug houses alone?
.
A traffic stop can be initiated for almost anything...burned out taillight, failure to signal a turn, swerving in traffic, known driver without a license. When asked if they can search the vehicle, many people say yes. Also, drug paraph. is often visible just by looking in the window, the cops then have probable cause to search the vehicle.
A search warrant on a house becomes much more difficult to obtain. Most people do not have drug paraph. sitting in their house window, evidence must be submitted to a judge to substantiate a search warrant.
drop its teaching on paradise earth.. the primary issue facing the watchtower results from it's teaching that members will never die, but live forever on this earth in paradise.
this teaching is cause of most of the doctrinal failures, and will be its eventual demise.. the promise of never dying is one of the foremost motivations for people that join the religion, and the message of living forever in paradise is compelling.
however, it is also the watchtower's achilles heel, as it forces false predictions of the nearness of the end.
outsmart-you have described my spouse exactly, he agrees with almost everything I tell him, yet he couldn't stand the trauma and does ask "where else will I go?"...sad.
i loved her music.
i was an elder and a big fan back in the day of thank god it's friday, last dance, love to love you, etc.. she had a voice right up there with steisand but didn't get it marketed as well.
only 63. i hear she had a lot of emotional problems and became a bac in the middle of a breakdown somes tears back.. anyway, she was a talent.. .
I like her too, I was a young teen at the height of her career. My parents didn't have a stereo, they still don't have anything for music, so I had to listen to her on an am station on a little plug in alarm clock/radio or when I was in a car. She was really good.

my pain has been in remission.
i have a morphine pump.
pain broke through toward the end of the medication.
Band-I'm so sorry to hear about the return of your pain. It must be intense...morphine isn't handed out that easily. The mental fear of pain, like you are dealing with, is also very debilitating and scary and can lead to panic/anxiety attacks (this coming from someone experienced with it). I hope that you are able to beat this pain back again and resume your life.
Steve2 has talked about acceptance therapy, I've tried it (having found a book on the subject), and it does seem to help some. The mind is powerful. Steve2 could probably help you understand it better than I ever could.
My you have relief soon! HUGS!
i've tried and tried to like beer but i just can't.
if that sounds juvenile (with is really funny cuz i'm soon to be 47) so be it.
my hubby, on the other hand, loves beer and ale especially wheat beers.
Yuengling is good as far as beer is concerned.
