My Girlfriend’s Beautiful Scottish Terrier Died Yesterday 😥

mia was almost 8 and she was the sweetest dog who was my girlfriend’s constant companion.

she had a wonderful disposition and was just a source of joy to everyone who would meet her.. she was brought to the vet on thursday and seemed to have digestive issues.

the vet gave her medicine and said it would make her sleepy.

We had a lion head rabbit as a pet and had it trained very well. You called her, and she would hop over and loved to have her head and back scratched. Stand up and spread your legs a little and she would run figure 8's through your legs. She really became a part of the family.

She died about 2 years ago and my wife still mentions her about once a week.

I totally understand your situation.

If people from Poland are Poles, are people from Holland Holes?

Does having a clear conscience mean you have a bad memory?

Can you have amnesia and deja vu at the same time?

What would you add to powdered water?

If everything appears to be going well, aren't you overlooking something?

Governor Cuomo - Does He Have a Flash Drive Plugged into His Head?

like the guy or not, i don't know how this guy can talk so much, giving fact after fact and analyze what is going on, not just in new york but across the country.

he's not reading from notes and there are no teleprompters.

he gives about an hour to an hour and a half at press conferences every day and fox news carries it.. i mean, as i am listening, he's saying they moved 802 ventilators from this state to that state, 412 came here to new york .... on and on.

You don't see that from a lot of politicians, so kudos to him [Cuomo] ...and I hope his brother, Chris is doing better, guess we will know tonight.

truthlover ...

It also give kudos to Carlson and Hannity on Fox News who, although they both said they don't agree with Chris on his politics (and Chris competes on CNN directly against Carlson at 8PM), ended both of their shows with best wishes and prayers to him and his family to get through this difficult time.

Any official stand from JW.ORG on vaping for medical reasons?

by JimmyYoung in

for that matter using marijuana without taking it into your lungs but by drops, edibles.

i have never heard definitively what their view of mm is.

If there is no "drug" (THC, nicotine, etc.) involved then technically there would not be anything wrong with it, in and of itself. Even by their own standards.

However, you likely would have the "stumble others" scripture thrown at you in a minute.

Isn't It Ironic That Many People Now Wish That Many of the Things China is Making Would Actually Be Made in Mexico?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

let me think of a few advantages to having mexico do more manufacturing for us:.

- low cost labor .

- just drive around or jump over the wall to see family and friends.

RubaDub

Make locally and buy locally, it's better for us all.

Yes, I was just expanding "local" to include this hemisphere. It would be a huge leap forward and far better than China.

I don't see what that has to do with CONVID-19 related facts but weren't you given your medication this morning and your biscuit to chew on?

I mean, as I am listening, he's saying they moved 802 ventilators from this state to that state, 412 came here to New York .... on and on. He's even mentioning specific hospital names. Then he's discussing the number of people in certain hotels that they have changed to hospital units.

Then he's explaining about how they plan moving the resources from one state to another, similar to what they do when hurricanes hit in a certain area. Then he's pissed at some in New York who have been outside and not doing the 6 foot distance thing.

Then he takes most of the questions from the press and when there are specifics, he answers them himself.

I still don't understand how he can keep all of this stuff in his head and have such long press conferences daily and even have non-New York stuff at his fingertips.

I bet he was great in college when it was time to cram for a test!

is this real? Wife got an email from here group elder about daily check in's

by goingthruthemotions in

so this elder is super brainwashed, as is his wife.

she actually made a comment that she wished antmo 3 was her dad and that he is so cool.

oh my god, i threw up in my mouth.

In my mind, there are only two real possibilities that would generate this:

1. Truly caring

2. Control

For older ones living alone without a car, if they called and are truly caring and you tell them you feel sick, they could arrange to have you taken to a place to get tested, or to get a visit from a nurse. If you ended up being positive, they could arrange to have food brought and left outside your door. For ones that have a car or family at home, I don't see what a phone call from an elder would really accomplish.

For everyone else, it is just a control issue.

How will the GB respond to the new treatment for COVID-19?

by careful in

one new cutting-edge attempt to deal with the novel coronavirus is to take plasma from those who have had covid-19, recovered, and have the natural antibodies against it, and then put those antibodies in victims who have the virus and need help.. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/03/826638981/hospitals-universities-push-for-treatment-using-plasma-from-recovered-covid-pati.

isn't taking plasma one of the the no-nos according to wts doctrine?does anyone see "new light" on the horizon in this matter that would allow the faithful sheep to accept such treatment?.

The only "vaccine" I need (aside my supplements) is controlled tiny exposures to the virus.

The only vaccines I need are from two famous doctors: Dr. Johnny Walker and Dr. Jose Cuervo
