  Updating of medical records

  by Cabin in the woods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who have walked away from most of the scriptural beliefs you might want to take a moment and check you familys and your own medical records.

  while being a witness most of us had no blood warnings posted on all of our paperwork and a flag for our personal drs.

  on our files.

  Funny thing...when my JW hubby went to the hospital for pre-opt testing..they kept coming in to match his blood type..in case he needed a transfusion!..

  Even tho he told them he was a JW and would take NO Blood..he even had all the paper work the JW's required and we handed copies to all the Drs and nurses and it was on his chart...

  We still had to repeat it each time a different Dr came in. They never even look at the chart!

  He even had the living will on file..and the forms the JW's notorized.

  If you are unconcious..you are in big trouble..maybe print it on your chest?

  I thought he would be finished with school?

  Surely school is over now. I also thought I read he had someone to go live with after he graduated?

  What's up Richie? When are you out of school?

  I wonder what they will be paying them with?

  From all I hear SS won't be around much longer..too many crooked hands in the pocket. It seems like everytime they need money for something they borrow from the SS fund...because someone else has borrowed from THAT fund..easy for politicians to steal and cover their tracks that way. Oh well..

  But if so many people are paying into that persons SS fund..shouldn't that person be raking in the Max?..

  Snoozy..who hopes her SS lasts as long as she does...

  But what about my kids? and Grandkids?

  Does anyone else feel like their damaged goods?

  i feel like this all the time.

  i have a husband that loves me, but i still feel like if i ever were on the singles market that i would not be a "good catch".

  my health problems and most of all being a former jehovah's witness makes me feel less than perfect.. i'm having a pity party.

  I think it's just because you've been through some emotional issues with your health lately..I feel that way too when I have health problems..but certainly not because I am "Damaged goods"..we all have some problems including the JW's...

  They are not exempt from health problems..I've been to enough of their funerals and helped take care of them when they were sick.

  So don't feel it is because you were once a JW..sometimes being one ( A JW) can cause health problems ...It seemed like they all had "Nerve trouble"..

  Keep taking your meds..you'll feel better tomorrow...or the next day.. (That's what I keep telling myself too..)

  Hugs..Snoozy..

  Do you have any kind of obsession?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm obsessed with new cars.

  i'd trade a $50,000 car for a brand new $40,000 one the year after, and trade it again for a $30,000 brand new one the year later, and trade it again for a $20,000 one year after that.

  as long as i get a new one every year or so, i love the feeling, even if it's less equipped.

  Funny (and sometimes annoying) things your pets do.

  by outbutnotdown in

  i have two cats.

  brother and sister.

  good cats and i love 'em, but the male cat is really clingy.. it's usually no problem, but every time i answer the phone, the male cat immediately jumps on my lap, demanding attention.. it makes it really challenging when i am at the computer, attempting to search files, etc.

  JH..my daughter has a screen door just like that!..

  She has two huge Leonburgers and one of them has a mental problem for sure...when he drinks water he doesn't close his mouth..he just turns away and it all runs out like a faucet! Getting all over the floors. And hair...everywhere unless they are constantlly brushed.

  And of course when they shake slobers fly everywhere...but her dogs are unique! They are butt sniffers..not only do they sniff they stick their nose halfway up the butt! The more you slap their nose the more they do it. Sometimes they gang up on you and one takes the front and one takes the back.Looks like you peed your pants.

  They aren't picky either..friends, relatives, strangers, they'll do anyone..

  It's fun to watch them play tag though..they chase each other until they tag and then chase the other one.

  And one of them waits till my daughters family all go to bed.. then sneaks up on the couch to sleep. They got up one night to find her laying on her back with her feet straight up.Funny sight for such a big dog.

  I have NO pets..I got burned out on that years ago.

  I had a bird I trained to circle the living room and land on his cage..so I left his cage door open all the time. But he got too messy and I gave him to someone else..

  My grandaughter's cat likes tents too.

  Snoozy..thanks for all the funny stories!

  Closet Smokers????

  by Life Is Grand in

  is anyone out there a closet smoker?

  you know-sneaking one here and there...... i smoked from the time i was in my late teens-tried to quit the odd time with no luck.

  finally in january of 2005 with the help of zyban, i kicked the habit.....all was good.

  Yep...I know the feeling!

  I quit for almost twenty years..then when I went to work started again...

  Then when I quit work I too took meds. I took Wellbutrin and it helped me stop. After five years and hubby passing away I bought a pack one night..been smoking for 3 years now...

  I got a prescription for Zyban from my Dr. but hesitate to quit. Like you..I really enjoy it.

  A sad story..my Mom died from cancer and she had smoked most of her life. Back when she started Cigs. didn't have filters.. Yeah!

  Anyway..when she was laying in a hospital bed dying..she kept making this one motion..it took a while to figure it out..she was playing like she was smoking a cig and flipping it in the ashtray!!!!

  She couldn't talk anymore and it was her final days..but she had that so embedded in her mind she still wanted to smoke a cig.

  We couldn't give her one because she was on oxygen and was out of her mind ..but she still had that imaginary cigarette.

  Gotta quit someday..I felt so much better not smelling like a tobacco factory..yuck!

  Snoozy..who only smokes outside...and not with others around..(No second hand smoke for them!)

  Well..any kind of a love story..ever since hubby died I can't watch any love stories..makes me sad he is no longer with me.

  Just when it gets easier to cope a stupid love story comes on..What's a girl ..old lady to do.

  And those pretty and sad songs they play..like in the Wedding Singer.."I wanna grow old with you "..broke my heart..

  Snoozy..but not sleepy tonight...

  After being a JW, do you experience panic when someone expresses disapproval

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having grown up in the wts i was always taught that there are very serious consequences that result when those in authority do not approve of you.. q: what happens when you break a wt rule?.

  a: very quick and brutal punishment in the form of shunning and ostracism.

  there is no middle ground... you either get no punishment or extremely severe punishment.. having grown up knowing only those two possible outcomes i find that i tend to become panicked when friends or authority figures express disapproval.

  Ms. McDuckett..seems like neither one of us can sleep tonight..

  But I could have wrote that paragraph a few years ago. I had a lot of nerve trouble in my neck..no Dr could tell me what was wrong or they told me it will get worse...

  I finally went on sick leave for several months and used up all my sick time..I finally retired at 59..I couldn't handle the pressure of not knowing if I could return to work or not.I was prescribed therapy for a month and that made it go away for a month. But it came back.

  Now I regret retiring..I finally found a Dr that gave me Paxil..and it worked. After a few years of it I was able to stop. I guess the damaged nerve needed to heal. Believe it or not I had a whip lash injury on my JW MIL's riding lawn mower when I was cutting her grass.. it got so bad I couldn't drive for fear of having a spasm in my neck.

  And if I am happy..something bad usually happens too..So lets enjoy the "happy" since we will probably pay for it later anyway..

  Hugs..Snoozy
