My friend has used them successfully. they are heavy but it gets him through the rough spots. I read some about it online and some comments were one company at least kept sending replacements that weren't ordered by the person and billing it to their credit card they used for the initial order so be careful.

Shellon,

Well God bless your hearts! My prayers are with you all! I just can't believe this, so mush all at once. I wish I was nearby to hug you and take care of you while you take care of the girls. But more importantly God is with you as is The Lord Jesus Christ. Please when you have a moment let us know again how they are doing.

My father grew up in Cohoes NY with his parents, a brother and sister. His father was a carpenter and spoke little English. He always said he was proud that their family managed first to not loose their home and secondly that they always had shoes. He went to a CCC camp when he was I think 15 years old. When I was a kid he took us cross country and we went to Washington State to the trails in the National Park where he was sent to work. I think it was quite a trip back for him.

My son is in NYC looking for work. He has been unemployed since he graduated college a year ago. We are helping him financially but really can't afford to do this. He has a degree in television and film from Syracuse University and ultimately wants to work in that field. but for now he just needs to work. Please keep him, in your prayers. He is a great young man and very talented if i do say so myself:)

Hey Shell!

Well god bless! You sure have too much going on. God is great and He and Christ are with you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. My dad had similar surgery years ago along with a kidney bypass surgery. Sounds kind of similar. It wasn't easy but it was well worth it. Hope to see you in chat.

Hi Shell!

It's been a long time since I have been by. I am sorry to hear all that's going on in your family! Waiting for answers is maddening. My prayers are with you along with so many others.

If I recall correctly when I looked at that word the best understanding I had was like an image on a coin. As Roy said, it is a representation. Yes it is an interesting word.

I was too young but my sister who was 16 went. My father gave her permission because a buddy at his local bar told him they had a county fiddlers festival up there every year. That is what he thought he was giving her permission to go to. I remember vividly watching the news and my dad realizing where she was. I guess the lesson there is don't take parenting advice from your buddy at the local pub. I did though take my son and his friends to Woodstock 99.

One more thing I thought of.. both my son and nephew were told to lay off the hair jell if they use it.

Proactive worked well for my son. When the copies came out in the stores we tried them and they worked just as well.

Owned? I am not sure what you mean by that. Guess I'll have a beer with Jim.

I can't help but think it looks like "bad religion" to me. While there were many true statements in the documentary there is always some truth in all religions. The law of unintended consequences also comes to mind. Be careful what you ask for.

As for me I will continue to hold to my Lord Jesus Christ and our father, God.

Did you watch the movie? It is not human nature to be violent, there is no human nature, there is human behavior, and human behavior is influenced by environment.

The superstition that there is an ethereal battle being waged between god and the devil and we humans are caught in the middle is just part of the over all story your owners want you to believe.

Laws have never influenced human behavior in a healthy way, laws are put in place to bind people by the owners of this world. The current environment cannot support love on a widespread basis.

You are right, nothing changes if nothing changes, the current environment is unsustainable and will have to collapse, The Venus Project is offering a re-engineering of our society in that inevitable occurrence. If we open our minds to the possibilities and get started now with these ideas we will be in a better place when this society does collapse, and it's sooner then you think.

I'm raising the alarm not to monger fear, but give information to people so they can decide for themselves and see that the monetary economy is no longer a sustainable viable means to provide for a healthy and peaceful society. Well the monetary system was never designed for healthy or peaceful existence anyway, but that's a topic for another time. What is needed is a resource based economy where everyone is given truly equal opportunity to create the life they want, without the fear of scarcity and limited resources.

There is over abundance in this world, scarcity is an illusion a story told by the owners of this world, if you buy into it you are owned.

The difference between people like you and people like me is I know I'm owned, and who owns me and I act accordingly I stay awakened to the fact and look for a way out to escape monetary slavery.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It's like Albert Einstein once said. "The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe."

Love and Peace,

Sudo, Thanks for starting the post and sharing your success. My husband and I started the South Beach diet last week. It's really not difficult and we both feel much better already. The big thing we both noticed is there is no real desire for evening snacking and we just don't eat as much even though we don't count calories or portion control. I will say I am looking forward to adding fruit back, especially berries. We are right in peak season here in NY and that was the only thing that was tempting when I was at the market.

Last fall we had a nest in our roof. My husband (after donning protective gear made out of his motorcycle helmet, duct tape and screening material) climbed up, plugged any holes but one. He stuck a long plastic tube in the hole that let down into a bucket he filled with insecticide. The wasps for days marched down the tube to their death. Every day we emptied the bucket with hundreds of wasps in it. When the roofer this past spring ripped the old roof off he found the nest, it had to have been the size of 2 basket balls! They are cool looking. Wish I had a video of the whole thing!

I saw a check the other day from The Way Credit Union. When did they establish a credit union?

BTW... I recently read they developed a new proceedure effective in some patients. They insert several stents in the area that the muscles collapse during sleep. It keeps the airway open during sleep. I am sure it is not effective in all cases but might be worth asking about.

Notta,

My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 20 years ago. His case was so severe he was not a candidate for the CPAP machine and had the surgery. He felt immediately better( well within a few weeks, the surgery was painful). But it saved his life in more ways that one. First in that it literally saved him, he was headed for heart failure. But secondly he was himself again. No more headaches, no more falling asleep where ever he was because of complete exhaustion. No more cloudy head when he was awake. And he lost weight because he was able to become more active.

I hope you have equally good results with your treatment! I am so glad you went in to be tested!

By the way... for all you that are being nagged someone to see a doctor for this... GO IN NOW! My husband did not believe me when I told him how he was when he was sleeping. I nagged him for years. I finally forced him in and when the doctor got his results he called him in for emergency surgery he was at such risk. I don't mean to be an alarmist, his was a severe situaltion, most aren't like that but don't put it off.

Good luck Notta!

That sent chills down my spine! How amazing, thanks for sharing that Kit!

If we didn't have Frenchs' yellow mustard made right here in Rochester what would we put on out white hots?

Moryan,

I believe dating is a time to be asking lots of questions of each other. In your position one thing I would be asking her is what happens down the road when you will not sign on the line? The other thing I would consider...picture her at events, with family or buisiness functions. How is it you picture her reacting to people who do not share her views? I think you have had a bit of a snapshot. Is this how you want your life to go?Is this who you want at your side? Picture these things.. then picture still dealing with this 10, 20 and 30 years down the road....

Johnny,

I had a very similar conversation with John about Jesus Christ and how he was absent in any real way in The Way after Romans 10: 9&10. John and CES seemed (at least with the little contact I had with them) to

put great emphasis on a relationship with Chist both personally and as the head of the Church. Now while I find some of these new developments disturbing, ignoring Christ is not an accusation I would make of them either.

Revvel,

Yikes! I had never ever noticed that before! It is all really very simple if we just read it. Thanks for sharing!

Record high temeratures here in NY.. Please keep your snow and cold there if you don't mind.

Kit,

Try your local library also. My sister does alot of web searches for her high school reunion committee. Some of the good sites for finding people that you pay for she can sign on for free at the library. She can enen sign on the library system at home using her card.
