I learnt sign language (a bit) but very few deaf people came to the meeting. Then I was encouraged to take up deaf/blind sign language. I managed to find a blind person who was almost interested but I never found a deaf and blind person who wanted me to sign into the palm of their hand.
It all seemed a waste of time.
And I don't know how they managed it but somehow they got a hearing transgender to have a study and attend the deaf group. I believe he had fathered 3 children but now identified as Daisy.

my wife had a hip replacement on june the 17th and while the op itself was apparently succesful ,she has had a reaction to the anesthetic ?

and has suffered delirium and is still in hospital with no apparent improvement.. its been very distressing for me to say the least.

sorry if i sound a bit morbid but i just had to share,.

Wow must be high demand in these part to join the Knights Templars. You'll be able to tell the zealots - ask them if they know how to say Governing Body in Tzeltal.
I'd love to know if the Welsh translation contains the word 'boyo'.

My pleasure - and I know a lot here have lost their faith or struggled with it. Where ever you are in relation to that here's an act of kindness towards some little owls who had lost their mum.
If kind people act like this towards baby owls, never forget just how important you are to kind people - they actually love you! Warts and all.

You are worth more than many sparrows even to your fellow man.

If they stick to this trend there will soon be more languages that their words are printed in than words.

Interesting commentary on what might be happening.

But I'm not advocating getting anxious about food. After all there's only so much spaghetti and tinned pies you can shove under you bed and I've known some people die of old age with a room full of tinned pies and biscuits.
(Luke 12:22-24) . . .Then he said to his disciples: “On this account I say to YOU, Quit being anxious about YOUR souls as to what YOU will eat or about YOUR bodies as to what YOU will wear. 23 For the soul is worth more than food and the body than clothing. 24 Mark well that the ravens neither sow seed nor reap, and they have neither barn nor storehouse, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more worth are YOU than birds?

Mormons are on an entirely different book. Book of Mormon - zero to to with Christianity. Similar principle to the Koran but with queer handshakes and gestures.

Mormonism is Free Masonic to its core. Watchtower is a better class of cult. The are Knights Templars.
