Vigil for my daughter, please.

by outnfree in

as mentioned in my other thread, my daughter lena is having brainsurgery on monday, jan 24. the surgery will last 6-7 hours, so i'm hoping the board members will be willing to make a special effort tomorrow to send positive thoughts, healing energy, good wishes and prayers her way.

we are asking that the surgeon's hands be delicate and skillful and that lena does not bleed overmuch and that brain damage be minimal (if not non-existant).

surgery begins at 8 am eastern standard time (us), but we have to have her to the hospital by 6 am, so this is "good night!

Do you still Patronize Women?

by limbo in

i was thinking today about how jehovah's witnesses are conditioned to view women.

i'm sure there have been many threads and discussions on this subject.

just curious how you view women now that you are no longer a jw?

A wonderful delicate balance has been brought to our relationship, she was never JW but I never gave her a good reason to give to a husband the proper respect that is due, we were diametrically opposed to each other religiously, and it wasn't until I began to seek other information from a spiritual vantage point that I was even able to acquire the proper attitude myself. Dr James Dobson who holds marriage enrichment seminars was responsible for helping me to see where it was I was going wrong, we have a greater enduring and lasting relationship now.

Though I can't equate myself with normalcy, it is the greatest thing in the world to be human, with foibles and failings, and still kinda' be a'ight. Life's kinda' good. You all here make the difference between night and day for me. Blessings are blatantly obvious in the spirit that's shown here. Yep, feels really great!

Have one on me Candidly Nuts!

Anybody With Sleep Apnea?

by prophecor in

jw

how are you coping?

do you use a cpap machine or did you get surgery to correct your difficulties?

do you dread having to go to sleep, with the possibility that you may never awaken?

prophecor

The Dream Machine That's how I affectionately refer to it as being. I too could never think of sleeping without my cherished CPAP. I was one mean nasty evil onery SOB, when not recieving the proper rest, and for years, even though having the CPAP, doesn't automatically make your life any better, you may need additional treatments at a sleep study center, the people behind the curtain administering the services at the sleep lab might not always be the best qualified at the time of your study.

I would imagine some have skills just like those in the auto repair industry. You have those that are mechanics, and you have those who are state of the art technicians, who don't just replace your alternator on your car, but also do an electrical service check to find that there's a short to ground somewhere that's causing the alternator to die in the first place. Your mask is one of the greatest challenges that you will face in treatment of OSA, they have a tendency to leak air that is vital to assuring that your lungs are recieving the proper ammount of air. More important is the pressure setting, until you can reasonably get enough pressure to keep those passageways open during sleep, a CPAP won't be of any benefit at all. I had one for a couple of years without the pressure at the point where it would do me any good.

The world is just one hellacious place to be when you suffer from this malady. You can't enjoy much of anything mentally, emotionally you either become a wicked despot, or a depressed lost soul, life looks incredibly different to the person who is suffering from sleep deprivation due to the loss of oxygen in the blood stream. Even though we may sleep for hours on end, without the oxygen required to replinish the body, we awaken to a world where we hate nearly everything and everybody, we get pissed off easier, the constant soreness in the throat from the signifigance of snoring, the headaches we wake up to on an almost constant basis. You exist in a world where your in a blanketed fog, and you exist long enough to go to sleep, just to have the hell repeated all over again. And many of you don't even know that this is your problem. I didn't know for years. I did know that people hated to sleep in the same room with me due to my snoring, and I couldn't for the life of me understand how something so common as snoring, would cause people to have that kind an oppinion about it. We see it in cartoons and sitcoms and its always been viewed as something to laugh about and make jokes over, never really knowing that for some, there are disassterous consequences associated with such severe snoring that is not on a level with those who snore moderately or infrequently.

Philadelphia's experiencing a winter wonderland, or the wrath of God according to your perception. It's not gonna' be nice when the dig out occurs, the arguments over the snatching of parking spaces when everyone is finally up and running, after spending mindless hours of digging out our cars, I won't find it unusual if someone loses their life over just such mindless incidents in the next 72 hours.

But for now I am going to enjoy the wonderful awesome power of God in all its resplendent glory. The snow is such a rarity around these parts that I will welcome these hours as there is not much complaining is going to solve. Just sit back, and suck it up.

Beatles or Rolling Stones Fan, which were/are you?

perhaps you have to be one of those who grew up in the 60's to really appreciate this thread, but then my kids love 60's music too.

who did you think were the best, the beatles or the rolling stones?

is there a bit of a psychological angle here too?

Please allow me to introduce myself
I?m a man of wealth and taste
I?ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man?s soul and faith
And I was ?round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what?s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general?s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what?s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I?m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what?s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what?s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
?cause I?m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I?ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what?s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what?s my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what?s my name
I tell you one time, you?re to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who

Traditionally Soul & Rhythm and Blues, I have developed over time a better than keen interest in Rock Music. The Stones, however are the ones who get my vote.
