Is it ever okay to lie?? YOUR OPINIONS PLEASE!! on 2008-04-30 03:14:30 |
|
Oh this one is easy... use diplomacy and tact. You maybe tell him he needs an editors opinion, you're "not sure enough just reading the rough draft"". "No lie, it's as true as needing oxygen.""Every writer needs an editor""....and this is friendly and not to committal and fulfills the need of the writer/friend for feedback.
Otherwise do him a favor and tell him outright. It was hard to read because of grammar and spelling. Then leave the rest alone.

YOU have asked a very difficult question.
I cannot answer except asking you to answer these questions. Do you have enough life experience to qualify for selfless love ?
Will being with this person enhance both of your lives?
Is what you feel Christ centered? If it is and you are still at home, honor your parents first, then wait. Love is patient.

Good fruit invites close inspection, Bad fruit must also be equally inspected but there is little or no invitation to inspect it closely. Do you understand??

Did you know that warriors of old, knights and mercenaries sometimes had uplifting words, or praise to God or god(s) or the names of family and home or fallen comrades scribed on the underside of their shields even if they did to know how to read. they would memorize the words from others tutoring it to them. It was their "wall of remembrance"

Hello AngieAki
No one asks the baby what it wants, it is alive, it life has begun.
You speak, you breath air into your lungs daily. Therefore, you, myself, and anyone able to speak does so from what has become a very elevated position in America. The un-aborted.
As one former fetus to another Angie, it is not about the born ones its about the unborn. It's not a hair cut, Angie it's a life. It's about that LIFE.
Why ""would"" my experience help me understand? I fought for my life and my child's'.... I believe life has value over in-convenience.

Hello AngieAki
PBA is a handle yes, it's a media word for lay people. D&E is medically correct but the short form of another longer term after all isn't it?...... I never stated that PBA was or is a medical term it's a lay term. What are you getting out this??...please enlighten me.
I have read your posts and like most of us you're not immune to the occasional flawed word or sentence, the common and trendy vernacular. So this is not about correcting grammar or term usage. If you have a problem with me or the subject matter speak up... don't nit pick, if not, then stop being "The Blog Police" please. Speak your agenda.
This entry is describing a conversation, not trying to impress the AMA. No matter what I or any other person types in as the "label" the blog is direct and not misleading. It is a recounting of the blow by blow raw statements of how a particular Dr. and his mentor, "developed" their techniques. They also used "PBA" in their disclosure, as they were talking to lay persons of mixed age and gender it was more polite and discernible to their chosen audience. The were speaking to Jr. High,& High School level students and parents/family, in an economically challenged area.(that means the listening audience were rather poor and not well educated in spite of their own and others efforts.) These same Dr.s' later spoke in similar terms in hearings in Washington D.C. Not everyone, even when well educated, can keep up with the ins and outs of medical jargon.
You are free to comment here all you like, but corrections of any ones blogging, is not proper blogging etiquette.
Maybe you should walk a mile in my shoes....perhaps you'll understand me better

What is the Best Way to End a Friendship? on 2008-04-22 19:29:38 |

You write so well, I liked this blog. I l liked also the well written hypothetical "How Do You End A Friendship"?
Honesty is best if you must end a friendship. Some times we don't get to know why someone cannot maintain a friendship. We just have to accept that something is interfering. Good byes and some distance may be in order for one friend and not the other.
Keep blogging it keeps the minds from clogging(up)

My Goodness yo sound so lonely... please don't put your own self esteem at risk by thinking you need someone on your arm. Besides you are young and there is time. You also sounfd busy and happy in your school work and major.
I was and am a "natural" mom. I even breatfed my adopted child, yes it is totally and completely possible. though it needs to be supplemented when you have not given birth the hormones need helping. I did clothe diapers and now use the really bad ones for cleaning instead of paper towels etc.
HOT guys are not always the best choice but nothing wrong with appreciating someones appeal. Personally after 2 (two) Hot men in my life it was a hot to me only band nerd who wond my heart for life. lol I don't drool, but I sure smile a lot!

Hello Angie
This is not about D&C or D&E style, abortions or the removal and cleaning of the uterus after fetal death in uetero.
It's partial BIRTH abortion, and no, the fetus is in no way (usually)unconcious. No more than in a live birth delivery. Even if the fetus were "under" it's instintive reflexes are visually evident when the shears or other intrument is used to "stab and scramble"(that is a militray term for assination and self defense killing, when a knife or other sharp object, is inserted into the base of the skull and jerked forcefully left and right until the body goes limp. it destroys the autonimic portion of the brain.) This BPA is done after 14 weeks of gestation and up to 22 weeks where allowed. Few states allow abortion in the third trimester. That would have to be purly a medical need in most cases.
Just wanted to be clear on this.

Dear wannabe...often our brains (do to over processed foods) send a hungry signal because in all honesty it wants fluids!!! Try drinking more pure fluids like water (flavor it with some thing if you like but not sugary things) teas and lighter types of juices i .e slightly watered down or all natural. And for goodness sakes tell your healthcare giver, you want a full thyroid profile and tests. (definitive tests to) for Hasimotos (slower tyroid/disease and Graves Disease (Hyperthyroid,they are not scary but essential to any one who has a weight problem be it over or underweight) Demand it!!!!! If they will not agree switch to someone who will listen and give you what you want and need.
In what little you blogged on this entry I read 4 of 7 symptoms of possible thyroid trouble. It is even possible to have both and they switch on and off (sheesh!!)
Your fellow (former) eatery sister.
Now diagnosed and on the way to much better health and eating.

Growing Old Together on 2008-04-10 21:08:48 |
|
What Deep and thughful questions you posed. I loved a man who n4ever loved me. I though it was something he would grow into sixten years of lopsided relationship and finally the wheel broke. By the time he might actually have loved me. I was a stone. I remarried a little over a year later...toand old flame...alas the years had changed him in many ways... I only married a man who was the image of the other just in more pale shades and less harmful. I stayed single for 12 years and learned to live as a whole human. Then, something wonderful happened. I made a friend a good friend, then friendship became devotion and devotion became love. I could have lived Just that way for a long, long, long, time. He wanted to marry, I accepted. so five years and one child later we are an older couple with a preschooler. We compromise in agreement, often we sacrifice for the other and more often we are simply in tune to one another. We have never haxd a fight we simply talk. Occasionsly and rarely one of us will raise our voice and out agreement is... if one raises his or her voice the other will abide quietly... and then we take a deep breath and resume communications. It isn't always easy but it is soooooooo simple. Christ is in the center of our love. We live a simple life and retire occasionally to a limited times of self indulgence. The difference? Respect and friendship first. If you are also a friend to each other it is a solid bond. Marraige needs the three fold ( cord or thread) Respect, friendship, devotion. Toghether it makes a bond tht will grow into steadfast love. and that foundation of three? Its' based on the God Head of Three in One a perfect model not a perfect relationship When you think of your self as complete then you join to another who is complete. That give you each 100%, marraige is not 50/50 it is 100/100 Not saying people cannot be "flawed" we all are, but couples need to be able to absorb and give and take and must be able to walk on an even surface as well. Like 'six dogs'(above) says. We only have what you bring into your relationship to work with.

sweet child, pain is part of living but what you are describing is a torment.torment of uncertainty. If you take the adive of a stranger....You will find if let things just "fall apart" you will absoluty and instantly know what was fragile and what is strong. What is strong is you. Let things fall apart. Embrace it if you will celebrate it if you dare....I mean, that when ever something we hold dear, is costing more than we can bear,
then let it go and lose also the fear,
When all is gone and we see what remains, we pick up those peices be they boulders, or sandy grains
replace your fears with your own decisions, let all fall and see the divisions, were you deceived and hurt by it all? Or was the truth your fear, realized after all?
pick your heart your life your fear, toss the fear and keep the life, for truth revels not in shadow but in LIFE adn in Light. Brought to the window of the soul, the truth may hurt, but in daylight 'twill heal, a scar may remain and for time tender, but as the time rolls forward 'twill oneday be but a painless remember. You once had fear, and it razored your mind but you craved the braver the truth for souls and mind.
I've let a meter dictated from my heart be the best way to tell you dear friend you need truth and light. That is what will set you free. You are created for more than pain. You write deeply becasue you feel deeply. For you I will pray, and you will find your way in all this.

I want the old me back! on 2008-04-08 16:23:10 |

Young Friend, You sound like you are in a depression. You must ask for help and then you must take the help you are given. You must not kick yourself any more. It is enough. You say: "you you want to get out but you know you can't" Yes you can if you want it enough, you make it sould like you are enjoying your pity party (part of mild depression) I am using tht term so you pay attention, to your self in a better way. If you are in actual depression, and not in a funk of kicking yourself for the sake of self punishment. Now I ask you a question, for your own good young one. Do you really want to be your "old self" again? Isn't the old you the one that "blew" the relationship? If so then you need what you are going through now to make the changes for the better. IF you want to be the old you,m and have your old life back, then slip on down to it. If you want to improve and change, then struggle with a power you will find comes from inside you becasue you are wonderfully and fearfully made,(Bible quote) You are unique in all the world and in all creataion. That is a valuable thing to a one and only model. perhaps tht is enough reason to lift your head when you walk? I am certainly going to pray for you.
