  Were you beaten as a child?

  by purrpurr in

  2. experiences

  i've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.

  particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.

  not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

  Yes, I was dragged to the KH basement and spanked.

  Due to my sceaming, some of the other children thought there was a monster down there, and, consequently they behaved.

  Yes, I do have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow, as I'm sure the advice would be! But, I feel really yucky tonight.

  Anybody have any good home remedies? The over the counter drugs don't seem to be doing much at this point.

  I tried green tea with honey and lemon. Does anybody know anything else I can rustle up from my cupboards?

  I just need to get through the night and then I'll see my doctor tomorrow.

  With heavy chest and thumping ear,

  Evolution is a Fact #31 - Ten Questions for Creationists

  by cofty in

  i thought this would be a good time to pose some questions based on the series so far.. if creationism is true these should be easy.

  answers that don't involve copy-paste would be really interesting to read.. ... .

  1. since some proteins can be assembled in more ways than there are atoms in the universe why do the sequences of amino acids and bases vary between species in exactly the way evolution predicts?

  You were criticized for lazily posting links.

  Nah, witness007, perfectly possible with bipolar disorder, manic phase.

  He could have lived at the intersection of genius and madness.

  i think he is, but i"m not too sure.

  just wondering because looking at that purple pimp outfit with hat that he wore to prince's memorial, i wonder if he ever gave a talk wearing the same outfit, when i've read here that some brothers were talked to for wearing a pastel colored shirt while giving a talk..

  My dad had a baby blue gingham check polyester suit in the '70s...and the rest of us had matching dresses.

  Yuck, thinking about it now.

  Evolution: The Deal Breaker

  by Hadriel in

  2. beliefs

  first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.

  i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.

  there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!

  how many have a nice flower patch to go with your vegetable garden?

  Oh, no, not weasels!

  I think I'll take my chances with the squirrels. LOL!

  My neighbor used to trap and release them in the woods until we found out they were endangered Delmarva Fox Squirrels and must be left alone.

  Now they reproduce with impunity in the squirrel haven I have accidently produced on my property!

  Well, what a terrible surprise this morning. My beautiful tulips were all chewed off right under the heads!

  I'm guessing it was the squirrels.

  I've cut the last one and put it in a vase on my table. I should have done it earlier and I would've had a nice bouquet.

  Well, anyhow, it's nice to finally get outside in the sunshine today. The cat is climbing the pear tree to catch a bird. I can't wait to see his face when it flies away!
