If you Google Hal Turner you will see he detests jewish people......and while he doesn't own the jewwatch.com website - IT'S HIS SERVERS this website goes through.....

And I'm even sorrier that your children have not had fathers who are caring and active in their lives.

But, as I said in my previous post, I had observed the way my husband treated animals - very caring, lots of patience and tolerance. I think the way that people treat animals is a great indicator of what kind of person they really are.

You're right, children can put a great strain on a marriage, especially if there are already problems with the relationship. My husband and I separated when our son was about 16 months old, but we got back together a few months later - primarily for the sake of our son, but over the years we have worked out our marital problems as well.

Perhaps I painted too much of a rosy picture. But the fact is, my husband is a good father, and I have always loved that about him, even when he and I weren't getting along. And having a child has kept us together through some pretty rough times.

I'm not kidding as I tell you all about these happenings.

My husband's mother died Christmas Eve in 1980. 14 years ago we moved into our "new" house and the scent of patcholli permated the house for weeks (his mother's favorite scent). Four years ago, we were having a family shindig in our garage and talking about his mother when the lights went out.  Nobody was near the light switch and when I went over, the switch was in the off position.

In 2000, my mother died (how I miss her), but in January. Anyway, all day, the bell she used to ring for me to come help her rang off and on for hours. I kept running out to the living room to see if it was on TV. It wasn't.

My plastic jug of Tide also fell off the shelf iin the laundry room about 2 hours after this. There was no one around but me when this happened and I was busy working. (My laundry room is right outside my computer room).

Tonight, my husband went to take his meds as we were sitting at the kitchen table after eating. His one medicine disappeared. We searched high and low for it around the table and where he keeps his meds to no avail. So I told him to take his other meds and sooner or later his Toprol would show up. If not, we would get another Rx tomorrow. Well, when he went to the sink for his water, there on the counter was his Toprol. I'm talking 15 feet away from the table we were sitting at. Neither of us got up from the table.

Do you think our mothers are back for Christmas again?  I would love to have them around for Christmas. I'm not afraid if it is them, and I'm still not afraid if it is not them and I would love to acknowledge that I know it's them, but how would I do that? (Am I strange?).

I just had to share these strange events with everyone.  Please don't flame me if you don't believe, but I do. Thank you for listening.

My doc wants me to take simvastatin for sligthtly high cholesterol.  Sounded okay to me, til I went online and read lots of horror stories about it, up to and including the "statin shuffle" people describe.  I DONT want to take something that is going to affect my neurological system adversely!

Do any of you take it?  What are your experiences?  Good or bad?  What side-effects did it give you?

We used to have a rottie (died last year) and they have the same stigma attached to them.  We were actually denied homeowners insurance with many different companies because we owned a rottie.  The funny thing is, he was the biggest sweet dog you ever met, a giant teddy bear.  Our chocolate lab was 100 times more likely to be aggressive/hurt someone, but of course they don't care about chocolate labs. 

That said, I've only known a few pits and they were pretty mean, but I blame that on the owners in those cases because they pretty much wanted a mean, protective dog.  Because of my experiencw ith my rottie though, I don't agree with laws or rules against certain breeds of dogs because I think they are BS.  Dogs should be judged on an individual basis ONLY.

as well as the ones that answered this!

Truly a horrible turn of events for you.  Two deaths of loved ones so close together.  Lean on the one who tells us to bring our cares to Him.   It is believed  by many that it would be limiting God to teach that this life is the only time that God can call a person to Himself.  Second resurrection may be the answer.   Also preaching to souls in prison, think about why they would need to be preached to, if these were evil spirits, not human spirits, what good would it do to preach to them?God is a God of love and your family members are in His hands. 

Re suicide, no sane person can take their own life. no matter how "rational" they make it sound.  Those who do kill themselves are not responsible for the sin of murder because they are so sick.  

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- By keeping your car for 15 years, or 225,000 miles of driving, you could save nearly $31,000, according to Consumer Reports magazine. That's compared to the cost of buying an identical model every five years, which is roughly the rate at which most car owners trade in their vehicles.

In its annual national auto survey, the magazine found 6,769 readers who had logged more than 200,000 miles on their cars. Their cars included a 1990 Lexus LS400 with 332,000 miles and a 1994 Ford Ranger pick-up that had gone 488,000 miles.
 
Consumer Reports calls the Honda Civic a "Good bet" to make it to 200,000 miles.

Calculating the costs involved in buying a new Honda Civic EX every five years for 15 years - including depreciation, taxes, fees and insurance - the magazine estimated it would cost $20,500 more than it would have cost to simply maintain one car for the same period.

Consumer Reports' "Good bets" for making 200,000 miles: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4

Consumer Reports' "Bad bets" for making 200,000 miles: BMW 7-series, Infiniti QX56, Jaguar X-type, V8-powered Mercedes-Benz M-class, Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan, Volkswagen Touareg, V6-powered Volvo XC90.

We actually do have the death penalty in PA...it is just not used that often. 

It does turn out to be true in a lot of families. So...we have Ed McMahnon (sp), Farrah, and now Michael. If no one died within the next couple days (I think that is also 3),  it should be okay.

Dang! I haven't felt this bad since Elvis died.

Would you watch someone being executed by lethal injection?  What if he murdered your brother?   Your child?  or anyone else close to you?

I know there is no right or wrong answer to this.  I will have to make this decision myself and it's been in my head lately.  I may not know my decision until the day of.

They should have to pay for pain and suffering because most of us treat our animals like our children.  This is not fair.

I'm sorry to all who have lost their pet to this horrible thing that has happened.  They should have to pay and pay deeply!!! 

What do you think is worse?

I would think being locked in a jail cell for life, with the key thrown away is MUCH worse, than ending their life.

Can you imagine sitting in a cold jail cell, no windows, no tv, no books, no paper and pen, just a room, w/ a toilet, a cot, and bare minimum food to keep you alive.

I think that is worse.
