  Border patrol agents are trained to cause a person some discomfort or some confusion by asking the right question and watching for slight emotional reactions.

  These reactions can be displayed by facial or speech signs and many others.

  A good example is my father. He was born in Norway and came to the USA at the age of 13.

  He grew up in Chicago and was in the US navy for some time, then moved to Portland Oregon.

  He was about 70 yrs. old when my brother talked him into taking a trip into Mexico.

  On the return to the US he was asked where he was born. For some reason my dad said Portland Oregon instead of Norway.

  The agent quickly said get out of the car and come into the office. When they got into the office the agent said only," Why Did You Lie To Me" and nothing else.

  My dad had sense enough not to argue. He said because if I said Norway we would be in this office for a long time.

  He showed the agent his military service/medical cards and was released. He asked the agent how he knew and he said he could see and feel your fear.

  My dad would never even consider another trip to Mexico or any where else out of the country.

  Hi Catfish. If you like to fish, we have lots of large Catfish here in the snake river. Idaho by the way.

  Many of us here have lived through some what, the same things as you describe. It is difficult and so unloving and impossible to really accept that our relatives can be so hateful towards us when we only changed our religious beliefs and have hurt no one.

  A lot of the posters here have said that living a good-honest-caring-loving and helpful life.

  Preparing for your future, educating your children, and making a good living is good for us and it really makes our relatives notice us. Maybe even causing them to think. If not, at least they can envy us.

  i moved back to beaumont to stay with crabby pants.

  was in dialup hell for a while because the computer was attached to cp's phone line.

  he couldn't stand for me to be online for any length of time because it might have interferred with him getting to scream, cuss and roar at telemarketers and slam the phone down over and over hard enough to break it.

  questioning apostates

  i recently read a post in which a man who was married for 27 years was on .

  the verge of a divorce from his wife because she claims he is an apostate.. the apostasy was because he showed her the history of the watchtower.

  Look up the psychology of "BELIEFS" and you will find that beliefs are in a way married with ones mental security.

  To challenge their imbedded beliefs is to challenge their system of security also.

  It is an interesting read.

  HA this reminds me of an incident a couple of months ago.

  My wife was in the final stages of cancer when her deceased husband's brother came to visit.

  He is a pentacostal preacher. As they were about to leave he actually raised his voice and started

  to preach about how terrible things are in these last days. It was sorta like "since you won't come to my church, I will preach at you in your own house"

  After he got done I said, "well if I had to choose for life now or a couple of hundred years ago, I would say NOW."

  "Because now we have almost twice the expected life span, Governments now give the aged social security, todays medical efforts save many more people than back then. and killings and thefts are much less and lives lost in wars are fewer in percentage of population than in ancient times."

  At the funeral the dick head wouldn't even acknowledge my presence let alone speak to me.

  security 'bad news for sex drive' differences in sexual appetite may be driven by evolutiona woman's sex drive begins to plummet once she is in a secure relationship, according to research.. researchers from germany found that four years into a relationship, less than half of 30-year-old women wanted regular sex.

  conversely, the team found a man's libido remained the same regardless of how long he had been in a relationship.

  Thanks for your reply Dansk.

  It is good to see you back and your happiness.

  I started to do the 1st post about sex with the disturbing aspects of all this.

  Then I decided to add some humor and a little sarcasm to it.

  I use this tool to stop the anger and lesson the grief and sadness in my life at this point.

  Other than that I feel totally confused most of the time. Some folks would tell you that is my normal personality (confused). Don't pay any attention to them.

  I do not usually talk about my sex life. But here goes.

  I have always had a strong sex drive and my wife and I had a good sex life. I am sure most of you already know that my wife passed away July the 11th 2006.

  At some time before that, my prostate gland decided to shut down the urine duct and I had to have a tube in and through to the bladder.

  Then I am given a pill that is supposed to keep the duct open after removal of the tube. It does and works well.

  Except- while none of this interferes with the erection it almost eliminates the feelings of the orgasm and the amount of semen.

  When it comes to sex, ya just can't win.

  Either ya can't get any or get too much or one wants more than the spouse or less than the spouse or you get divorced or sick or a death interferes.

  If it isn't that, some religion messes with your sex life or your parents do by raising you to believe there is some thing just not right about sex.

  When ya get older, people think there is something wrong with you if you want sex. Grown children cannot accept the fact that their parents still have sex. Your grand children run from the room if it is mentioned that gramp and granny have sex.

  I give up.

  we had a whole family that moved into our congo when i was about 10. they had kids from 6 to 16-years-old.

  there was always talk of their beds spinning and shoes floating, et cetera.

  they lived in a literal shack so i didn't want to go there to spend the night, but i always wanted to go and "check it out" to see some fireworks.

  Hi Restrangled.

  Hospice and the Hospice nurse were just wonderful. They deserve to be up there with the best of all societies.

  This was a church minister that they will arrange to come if one asks for it. My wife even though she did not attend a church had her strong beliefs.

  She wanted him to come and do his thing for her. With her beliefs it did a lot to compose her and helped her handle the trials of knowing she was dying.

  He also wanted to help me but with my disgust for organized religion, it was of no help for me. I didn't try to destroy his beliefs, I just didn't participate.
