......well, i just found out yesterday that the state park where he picked up this nasty infection now has signs posted to "swim at own risk" and as you enter the gate of the park, the ranger tells visitors that there is e-coli bacteria in the water!

there is a site that i absolutely love...they sell closeout books at an extremely discounted price.

i have ordered many (let me stress many) books over the past few months from them and have been pleased w/each order.

these books are marked 75-95% retail prices......can i post a link or would it be considered spamming?

i am looking for some help regarding harvesting herbs (yes......real herbs!)..

i know w/basil, it must be blanched for 1-2 seconds and then dried before it can be frozen.

okay.....now this thread is completely off any topic i have seen here before...but i am just in shock over an infection that my 9 year old son got w/in hours of swimming at an area lake.

my kids went swimming for about 4 hours yesterday and my middle boy, james, found a leech in his belly button on the ride home.

he didn't think anything of it and pulled it off.

i was reading the thread about 2015 being the "new" end of the times and had a question to those that were in the borg around 1975 when the end was to come then.

i was only 7 and new to the borg, so i don't remember, but what exactly was everyone expecting?

fire and brimstone?

i am relatively new to the board and have to say have never had such a heartwarming welcome from so many people!

it feels so comforting to make new friends that "understand" where i have come from.. i have read many many stories, and have sat back in awe....wow, what stories.

mine is quite simple, but none-the-less my story.

just a thought about baptism......
by scootergirl in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been reading (...and reading...and reading) about how many of us were baptized at an early age (early teens) and how many of us have suffered the consequences of leaving the "truth" because we were baptized..... if it is such a major comittment why are young people allowed to be baptized?

i mean, at 13,14 or 15 if many of us would have told our parents that we wanted to get married-how many of our parents would have allowed it?

hell, i could have taken a written test about marriage and passed and been ready for marriage, right?!

just curious if your parents still have contact with you after you have been df'd/da'd.

mine have stood by w/strong convictions not to have contact w/me.

they have to have some being that i have kids that they want to see (but that is very minimal).
