  .

  should we feel some sympathy for the governing body?

  after all they have taken on thr reins of power over a corporation that has very bad,, dead end business stradagy based on a dellusional idea that the end of the world would come based on dates found or imagined in the bible,, a book about ancient deity worship with all its superstition about what make him angry and mad.. they have bought into this dellusion with their heart and soul,,they stand to loss big time now that the internet is here,, the internet is their satan and his demons on the net are taking aim..

  i was born, raised and grew old(er) in california -'45 to '94, and oregon since.

  lived many years in santa barbara, ca.

  where the change in seasons is noted by how foggy and damp it gets in the summer.

  JW's , Star Trek V and pain.

  since everyone is thinking of star trek this week, i have a question.

  in star trek v, kirk has a chance to have his secret pain removed by spock's half-brother.

  kirk refuses, and says that he needs his pain because it makes us who we are.

  And my 2 cents-

  I don't like pain. Physical pain hurts.Emotional pain devastates.

  However, having one or both can cause some to be more empathetic towards others, and can serve as understanding other people's limitations. On the other hand, someone's emotional pain can be more debillitating than physical pain. And can cause someone to lash out in anger, because they have suppressed themselves or because of their circumstances in their life; they use their pain to inflict pain upon others.

  I would choose no pain for anyone of any sort-but that's a fantasy- not a reality. That's Star Trek V.

  as a born in, one of my earliest thoughts has always been jehovah has an angel that writes down everything in a big book, all the good things that happen to me/others and everything bad that happens to me/others.

  i faithfully and honestly believed that.. in march of this year i read c of c. by 5 am the next morning i was out.

  24 hours before, a true, steadfast believer.

  Yes, Lois, my sentiments are similar to 00Dad's. And to add ; friends who understand personal boundaries! Also, what Mamochan13 suggests in seeking professional help in order to overcome your painful life experiences and to assist you on a healthy road of recovery. There's a saying: "Life begins at 60. So, Lois, welcome!

  i've always had a fascination for yurts... and i've been wondering - wouldn't these make wonderful homes for earthquake-prone areas with a relatively mild climate?.

  [and the board is acting funny again... hope these pictures post...] .

  notice the lightweight wooden framework.
