I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

GG so funny.

Sun, where do yo get Anohki - just had a look and they are beautiful.

So much to love about HERE.  Your friends will go look up info for you, as well as keep you endlessly supplied ( which I always look forward to and totally enjoy ) with current affairs and salient points regarding same. 

Sigh !!!  I'll be glad when its done, but decided to clean my pantry.  It is not the smallest, but far from the lg. size I could make temendous use of almost all the time.  Still, somehow over these last 2 1/2 hours....the darn thing is nowhere near empty which has caused a size increase like no other.  Once again ( happened many time before ) I'm finding things that are not mine.  I'm sure of it.  How they got in there I'll never know.  Brewing lots of resentment for the trips I will have to make to my dumster later on this afternoon. 

Won't bore you anymore, but if anyone knows just whom it is that deposits things all over your closets, storange spaces and even pantry, I'd love to know a current description or even name.

Glad you got some answers Alexandria.  I have had tendinitis in both the upper arm and elbow.  It is very painful......sounds like it will be awhile to clear up inflammation.....and then will you have PT to reestablish good ROM.  Double yay for no surgery.  What a relief!!

Jackie

Alexandria - shoulder tendonitis is horrible.  I had in both shoulders at the same time about 7 years ago and I couldn't sleep, work or do a thing for two solid months. I could sit with my arms propped up on pillows...that was about it.  Honestly, the only thing that got me better was my PT massaging my neck and shoulders and 200 mg of Celebrex a day.  Celebrex is a scarey drug, but it is an anti-inflammatory and will "cure" the tendonitis.  The only thing that worked for me, and likewise prevented it's return plus changing my ergonomics at work (i.e. the way I worked on the computer).  

alexandria - this is a horrible allergy season.  I've been using Chinese Herbs I get from my acupuncturist - Blue Poppy seems to be the manufacturer of the best ones.  They don't "HIT" you as fast/hard as antihistamines, but have managed my allergies with no side effects.  I'm still using the Flovent steroid inhaler, and that REALLY seems to help - no idea why, never heard of it b4 I was prescribed one.

Pain - well, I'm still a devotee of Arnica Gel - have you tried it?  Won't replace MAJOR surgical interventions, but seems to keep me moving.

Jackie - what you said about STUFF.  And how many out dated by YEARS cans of stuff can a person have? Remember, I live in a vurry, vurry small cabin like structure, awesome FREEDOM when you toss it all.  FREEDOM. But I do have another IMPORTANT question:  WHAT MAKES DUST?  How can so many clumps form in such small places?  I have no animals, I don't shed much, and when I'm not looking - DUST BALLS - bare floors, allergies, and swifter at hand  - but WHAT MAKES DUST?

Anyone notice food getting more expensive?  Perhaps I notice cuz I get a lot of stuff from Costco, only go every month or so, notice a real difference lately.  Almonds ( almos a 3 lb bag) and expect that's the bees. Come back bees.  Add BEES wellbeing to my list, after global warming.

Enjoyful - you have MANY of my female friends peeing in their panties with laughter

Blue - meant to thank you for birds on a branch with flower...lovely.

I'm sitting here seething after that.  I won't be very coherent.....and I think and yes....all those babies that you want to be born but there are a whole lot of people who won't be taking care of them if they are.....what then???  It is not a matter at this point of right or wrong for the potential mother.....it is the fact that she has a right to the correct information. 

I think I might have said it here before a long time ago, but my TOLERANCE for LIARS is about as low as you can go and have any at all. 

Total shame and it is a total shame that so many people apparently don't feel that emotion much.  They really should.....I often wonder....if you lie, what else will you do. 

Jackie

notself....thank you - thank you.  A look from a different perspective....which is what I was likely thinking about.....

And now for some hopeful news from Harry Reid (or at least news that will make the Repubs' heads spin faster than Linda Blair's):

According to the Las Vegas Sun:

Reid said he thinks the country has to “work our way past” insurance-based health care during a Friday night appearance on Vegas PBS’ program “Nevada Week in Review.”

“What we’ve done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we’re far from having something that’s going to work forever,” Reid said.

When then asked by panelist Steve Sebelius whether he meant ultimately the country would have to have a health care system that abandoned insurance as the means of accessing it, Reid said: “Yes, yes. Absolutely, yes.”

How many children have YOU adopted Mardibra - my parents adopted three and we're all pro-choice!!!

two blue lines - why do some people read this thread if they know they don't like what they read? What happened to the Moderators advice : Don't like, don't read.  Maybe some people don't know what those 4 words mean?  Wow, wouldn't that not be surprising, ah,well....strange world, a world where some people think they have the right to insist a woman has a child when she doesn't want to. But, as wisely stated in so many ways, the child is not considered worth taking care of by the very community who insisted the woman remain pregnant. Seems strange, someone could think a fetus more important than a young child.

BLUE - read your last link, did anyone else notice that the person who wrote the offensive piece used a FAKE NAME to sign it, while threatening to post the REAL names of other people. 

Such lovely words in the Blue Line :This Post is suppressed because you are ignoring (name of poster). Makes life so much more pleasant - for those who haven't yet used this feature - AND, it means the Ignored Poster can't PM you either.  Also saves all those brussel sprouts.

Sun - were you reading between the blue lines?

Just to agree with Sun: the number of children up for adoption versus the number of "pro-life" people in this country just demonstrates how empty the rhetoric is about caring for every child.  Also, (as someone who worked in this field), babies or very young children without problems, regardless of race,  who are taken from their parents because the parents are unable or unwilling to care properly for them are very quickly adopted.  It is the special need kids - the older kids, the younger kids with physical or emotional problems - who wither away without adoptive homes.  You don't see the "pro-lifers" rushing to adopt those kids.   Yet, they object to tests that could show whether an embryo has downs or spina bifida; they scream murder if a woman decides to terminate a pregnancy because she cannot care for a severely disabled child.

The fact that someone doesn't "get" the connection between "pro-life" rhetoric and personally adopting children again shows the emptiness of the rhetoric.  If you believe that every child should be born and treaured, then put your money where your mouth is.  Adopt a special needs kid - or two.  You do that, and maybe I'll have a little more respect for your position.

As so many of us have said - the anti-abortion movement is not about protecting children or treasuring children.  It is about penalizing women for having sex.
