So it happens sometimes accidentally. Big Woop. Say excuse me and move on.
For those of you who absolutely have NO compassion for someone with a medical condition that causes a little more than the normal amount of belching or farting.... Heaven forbid you should be stuck in a crowded elevator some day, have to sneeze, and end up ripping a hole in your panties at the same time. Hmmmmm wonder how forgiving those stuck in that elevator with you would be.

Okay, having a debate with DH and need help
I am positive I remember reading or hearing at one time that eggs were not to be stored in the egg tray in the fridge, but kept in the carton. Anyone else remember that and if so, do you remember the reason? I'm getting the old eye roll here and I HATE that.
how did this become an insurance debate???
I posted simply to relieve some stress and anxiety...sheesh! THANK YOU to the sincere posters expressing their sympathy...to the rest of y'all who turned MY post into a petty debate... !!!
I don't want to get into a debate about hunting, but
I do want to note that the hunters I know are very respectful of the animals they hunt. Most are deer and turkey hunters. They eat what they kill, and having seen these beautiful creatures moving in the wilderness, they feel a real sense of gratitude for the food on their table. That is the message that they've conveyed to me when they talk about hunting and fishing.
For non-vegetarians, I see no difference in hunting food or in buying food. In fact, dare I say it, hunting is more dignified and humane than raising animals for industrial slaughter. The flesh wrapped so nicely in cellophane came from somewhere, after all.
I understand a vegetarian's point of view, as well. I was a vegetarian for many years myself. Yes, if I were still a vegetarian, I would be very upset by hunting anything at all, and I can accept that argument as having some weight to it from that point of view.
I don't know if you are a vegetarian. You didn't mention it. If you aren't, then hunting an animal and eating it or buying the slaughtered meat of animals in a grocery store and eating it end up with the same result, doesn't it?
To be sure, there are hunters who aren't conscientious stewards. I've met a few who just want to kill. But for the most part, hunters are very respectful of creation. I think it's good to know that.
I did not raise a debate, criticize the OP, or anything

"There is no debate here" because you are declaring yourself the truth. nm

Well, I LOVE a challenge too, Would love to debate this one day with you! sm
haha
Seriously, I was a staunch atheist for 20+ years. It's funny, though. I, too, believe that we are all electrical energies and that energy doesn't "die" and so, theoretically, where does your "electricity" go when you die, i.e., your spirit? I believe that "energy" within us is our spirit life - and that must go somewhere, right? It doesn't just go into the groun - which is what I thought for so long.
Anyways, when I learned about our "energy" and how it must go somewhere, I was really testing the waters of Christianity up to that point. After hearing about that, I was convinced that there must be an afterlife. I believe we go either of 2 places.
Anyways, I love ALL people of all religions, regardless of what I "think" or "believe." I don't think any less of you because of your beliefs! If I were to believe in a God who forgave me and loved me in my mut and mire, who am I to judge and criticize those who think differently of me?
I've always liked you no matter what your philosophy on life was....
