    I had a heart attack!

    in Open

    Posted · Edited by Steveo

    Hi I never met you before but I wish you well and good health in the future.

    I have been a diabetic since 1963 and when I was 48 years old I had a heart attack ( Diabetics are high risk for heart attacks)

    I was not as fortunate as you in that I had to have Quintuple Bypass Surgery

    I had a great surgeon and recovered as well as could be expected.

    I am now looking forward to many more years and I do intend to start swimming again soon ( as soon I I locate a good pool, Lol)

    I also am on Metoprolol ( to help keep my hearts blood vessels open) aspirin ( to help prevent blood clots) and Lovastatin ( to help keep the cholesterol level down) and a few others I wont mention....

    The one thing I didntr see you mention was to be on a Cardiac Diet. It is a super low fat diet to help keep your heart vessels from blocking up again.

    Although you should get some advice from a Dietician, I can make the following suggestions....

    Keep each meal to a maxc of 2 grams of saturated fat ( you can read the back of TV dinners for this info)

    Drink Fat Free or 1% fat milk ( not whole milk)

    Eat "Egg Beaters" ( not whole eggs) they are almost cholesterol free

    Use a fat free or almost fat free margarine ( NOT butter)

    Steer clear of Bacon, fatty beef, and pork chops ( choose low fat fish or chicken instead, Turkey is also great as a low fat meat)

    The main thing is to ask your doctor or a dietician about going on a Cardiac Diet officially. If I could go back in time I would have been on a Cardiac Diet since the age of 15! ( Instead of gorging on McDonalds, Burger King, and Taco Bell ....ahhhh CHEEESE!)

    Ok ..... dats it, just a suggestion from a fellow Heart Attack Vet ( HAV?)

    WARNING ADULTS ONLY!!!!

    Hippie And The Nun

    One day a hippie gets a ride on a public bus and sees a hot young nun. He sits down next to her and promptly asks if she would like to have sex, to which she immediately says no and walks off the bus. The bus driver leans over and says “Hey guy I know how to get that nun to have sex with you…”

    Naturally the hippie asks, and the bus driver tells him that every night at midnight the nun goes to an old graveyard to pray for god to forgive her for her past, and that he should dress up like god and tell the nun she will be forgiven if she has sex with you.

    The hippie gives his thanks and runs to the nearest costume shop.

    Later that evening the hippie gets ready for his big night and drives down to the graveyard and sees the nun praying, on her knees. He says “Behold, I have heard your prayers and you shall be forgiven if you have sex with me!”

    The nun agrees but asks if they can have anal sex in order to keep her virginity. The hippie agrees and once they are finished the hippie jumps back and pulls off his mask and says “Surpise, its me the Hippie!”

    The nun jumps up and pulls off her mask and says “Surprise, its me the bus driver!”

    Cops are irritating...

    Yes I agree with Sudo

    Just be cooperative and say yes sir, yes of course I will...etc

    Its a waste of time to argue with them as they are kinda judge jury and executioner on the spot, its best to use your wisdom and disfuse any situation as much as possible

    Often Police make rash decisions and also they go "with the flow" and make politically correct decisons, this means they often harass good people, ignore criminals, and are totally useless when you call them for help. You gotta learn how all Police act...

    They dont want their time wasted ( they should be having coffee and doughnuts!)

    They will do whatever all the local authority figures say is correct at the moment ( even if this means beating up an innocent citizen)

    and they will basically get away with anything no matter how much it steps on the peoples rights unless they get caught red handed by a video tape or authoritative witness ( like in the Rodney King case)

    This also applies to Security guards, Ive seen them beat the crap out of a patient because he didnt have any insurance and wanted to leave the emergncy room!

    Best policy is, stay as far away from Police as possible, and buy a gun and protect yourself, call 911 if you can but remember theyre probably gonna finish their coffee before they come ...

    Yes he was the best in his feild, thats why he was chosen by the president.

    He also seemed like a nice guy, and I undertand he was married with 2 children.

    And he was only 53! Thats really young, bout the same age as me!

    I feel really bad for him and his family, but I know hes in the loving care of God, and probly in the most beautiful place of all, Heaven!

    It was a cleverly disguised Multi Level Marketing scheme. (MLM)

    At the heart of it was a "product" called Power For Abundant Living, a 36 hour long "class" that promised to answer all your questions about the meaning of life and how to succeed.(The vast majority of its contents were plagiarized from relatively unknown sources.) It used the Bible to give it a false appearance of credibility and sincerity.

    In reality, the "class" was a recruitment tool designed to enlist volunteers for "the cause".(Word Over The World) They(TWI) practiced manipulative mind control, thought replacement and behavioral modification techniques to extract commitment and devotion from followers.

    If you go to the home page, you can listen to the two podcasts about Losing The Way which will give you a peek in the window of one follower's journey. Also, while you are there, I recommend listening to The Law Of Believing: No God required. The so called "law" of believing is one of the core tenets of The Way.

    edited for this:

    Organizationally, they were supposedly structured like a tree.

    (ie: A person is a leaf, several leaves are a twig, several twigs are a branch(usually all the twigs in a city), several branches make up a limb (usually a state), a country is a trunk and all is designed to serve the "root" which was the headquarters (Int. HQ) in New Knoxville, Ohio. Almost all the money traveled a one-way path to the "root". VP Wierwille was the mastermind and ultimate leader. He set himself up to be "The Man Of God For Our Day And Time" (MOGFODAT) and claimed God had spoken directly to him in an audible voice, revealing nuances of the scriptures that had not been known for thousands of years, which were , for the most part, really plagiarized materials and even cleverly disguised propaganda from anti-Semitic groups and white supremacy groups.)

    And I actually bought into it----*sigh*

    Thats an excellent summary, and if ANYTHING its putting it mildly....

    A man walks into a bar and says, "Give me a beer before problems start!" Again, the man orders a beer again saying, "Give me a beer before problems start!" The bartender looks confused. This goes on for a while, and after the fifth beer the bartender is totally confused and asks the man, "When are you going to pay for these beers?" The man answers, "Ah, now the problems start!"

    A leprechaun walks into a bar. The bartender serves him and says, "That'll be $2.50." The leprechaun puts two dollar bills on the bar and starts walking away. The barkeep shouts, "You're a little short!"

    Is suicide a sin?

    I appreciate the exploration of suicide

    My Moms best friend did this...

    My Mom knew this lady for about 30 years! They were always best of friends. This lady said around 1960..."If Castro invades Florida I'll get my gun and shoot my family and myself"

    #1 Her husband died a few years ago

    #2 She moved in with her daughter in Arizona

    #3 She was miserable there so moved back to Florida

    #4 She was going blind from Macular Degeneration, and living alone in a nice condo

    #5 She was found having committed suicide with a small pistol that she owned

    I attended her wake last year.....I didnt say anything but have been troubled since I was raised a Catholic....

    Yep I lived with Ross in our WOW house in Des Moines Iowa in 1980 or so. He was one funny guy!

    Also living with us in that house were Diane Mooncotch and Jane Cossaboon, and one other guy whose name I forget

    I look back fondly on those times, and looking back I would make my decisions about 100% differently Lol
