about the fuzz . I had a neighbor who had a son who loved to pick off the fuzz of his stuffed animals and blankets whatever like you describe ... but he didnt eat them he stuffed them up his nose. he would push the fluffies up his nose till they got clogged and she couldnt get them out . so not funny really( but twenty years later im laughing at what kids will put parents through. ) She had at the dr's alot so get the stuff out of his nose. I hope your baby can adjust to the type of food you think he should eat soon. a parents knows best. it will be ok . my grand is 9 months and he just tells his mom no and shakes his head when his mouth is full or he doesnt like something. She listens to him. he likes spicy food. Baby food lasted for about a week and then he said no he chews with his little teeth , and will not take another bite till he is done. It takes awhile to feed him.

I just read "Do not blame God ". by John Lynn John S and Mark G. it covers alot of what your aksing from their bible take on the subject. It really is quite helpful if you want to hear what the bible says about such issues in life. life is a strange business , i do not always get it. a lady I know had her family member run over her own small child while backing out of the drive way. an accident. I have heard out rageous storys of peole overcoming such evil and i do belive that is what it is evil determined to hurt those who love God. For me i cope with the reality some day it will be better for those who call on the Lord as our Saviour. forever the hope for me. Till then i wont deny God , i pray and i do realize bad things may happen i try not to get so pitiful i can not help the many others who are floating in this same boat of life.

pipes hello it is great you enjoy posting here . But of course . I think you maybe someday should look into submiting your works on a board that recognizes talents and has "others" who can write . People who are passionate about writing poems and journals. it is a talent and to be in amoung your own it may be even better . to find a group that you can really share not just the work of your writing, but those who share the passionate work of the doing of it. feedback and giving to ohers may help you grow even further in writing. one of nephews is a published author of poems he has told me of his travels of finding a home inthe writing community i think you would also enjoy the fellowship in the midst of those who share that bond. just a thought . i sure the net if full of aspiring writers maybe you do not need a blog just find a some that share your love for writing. also im certain there are contests and sites where you can submit your stuff for publishing . no reason to be shy really .

I took the class seperate from pfal. i was awful , nervous hating it , and not wanting in the least to do it . we had a circle my turn came , iwas so nervous.. they said i did it. i do not know what they think id did. then i would pray and i mean pray NOT to be called on for them. when i was first in the bl asked me to do it and i straight up told him "no" he said what? I said "no and sat down. he never asked me again. i made it very clear i never wanted to do it and was not called on again after that. at one point they asked who wanted to do them and people would just stand up and they would call on them. I never stood up, i never faked it. i just didnt do it except for that one time. they did try to teach me i admited to them i didnt want to so they gave up. that being said.. i have heard things said that were at the time blowing my mind . but then again i was in a cult. so consider the source

Now your going to think im a freak . but the year that came out the lines were very long to see it on the tv in a tent. I was not about to wait.. i actualy prayed about it.. Father told me not to go see it. I know I know Im a freak. a decade later they were showing it at childrens fellowship and i was asked agian and I said no. my kids saw it i think. we never talked about it. i do not know why but that production was NOT meant to be for me . now i read this and maybe it was all good.

pond replied to I Love Bagpipes's topic in Open
some of us agree we should clean the house more. oh well but i just called on a friends hubby and he is going to do my basement for me . so we can all make time. we each have to make time to play I think . it is far more important to us than money now. -
"Play": A Journal Entry..especially for my chat peeps
pond replied to I Love Bagpipes's topic in Open
my children are still at the age where they think the world will change because they are in it. God bless them i hope it does. my mother is just plain paranoid and doesnt get out much. my sister has taken every pharamacy drug available searching for the happy place in her life, and she drinks. So my point is play really it is. last holiday when the crew was together , i was talking about the baby and toys (new grand) and I said i have toys but they are my toys. they stopped eating my sons wanted to laugh but new better by the look on my face. I still play with my toys i have a nice plastic coral set with horses and fences and barns i set up sometimes i have my baby dolls alot of toys . and i play with them. they looked at me like i was not suppose to play with toys anymore i was to grown up and i asked why not? they could not come up with an answer. play is a good thing I think . i grew up without alot of tv so i learned to play and i did sit down and play with the kids when they were kids still. i color i paint . and my son in law puts models together. My son plays sonyplaystation . this is all play time stuff. We go to coffee houses and dance, we play cards , my friends are players as well.. many are retired or widows. we have singles and married folks together .. we get together around a community thing and all show up together my group happens to span four counties we do not care we jam into a van and have at it . We travel together for an hour or an hour and a half to check out a new group or a coffe house or a pot luck meal. alot of free community events out there . one time we had to take two buses when we toured the light at christmas time and all showed up they did an extra run just so we could all go at the same time. i really do live more like high school now than i did then .. oh well thank God i have my buddies who get this idea. reading can be playing if it is a good story with imagination. i make statues for my garden and set up a little show place with the geeses and people and rooster (this year hopefully) this is all play. I play far to much. I think. but it is how i am and coming to like me by now. -
it is comforting to have someone say "dont worry be happy" God is in control we have no worries.. nice peaceful thought . But it s a lie. God does not control people nor does he work along with the devils help them in any way, yet people often do unaware of what they are doing ignorant of his scheming manner and ways much evil is alive and well on this earth still. To say it is false evidence that we are human and capable of great sin and just plain old life within this arena is considered DENIAL. the fact is the bible says we will be persecuted.. and possibly die because we believe in Jesus Christ. many have and the story be told Paul had a great deal of trouble and strive and problems in life. Knowing Jesus as Lord does not take away fear no way rather He helps us , sends a holy spirit in which we can find some comfort in the middle of the troubles we face. misfortune hurts and it happens to everyone . false evidence is a judgement call and fear of anything is NOT a christian call ing to have faith in the promnises of God. yet we continue in a life in which bad evil things happen to good people . fear should not motivate us.. but then neither should ignorance. l

i do agree with you on the age thing CK they are not playing fair to say you do not know becausse your 19. i happen to know some very wise and much less bitter young adults . i think your age has very little to do with what your saying , it is just easy to pick on someone who is 19. but the issue may be you really did not have the experience of so much trouble while trying to do what pfal taught. and you did not have a bad outcome of what he taught turn your life into choas and trouble and stress. that is one reason why many have lost their desire to hear some of the stuff you say. they shut the ears . some think about their own experience and think it has a little bit more authority than just soem stuff you may have read or heard from someone. we are to be doers of the word, pfal will tell you that. the doing of what the way ministry taught and did was a bother for many and that is why they may say you do not know what your talking about. because you did not get involved in the "doing" what the way wanted done.

that is why id do not get involved with them any fruther jj it was the same here practice session on PP practice sessions???? god needs practice telling someone eles what you need for you life? it didnt make sense and then .. they would agrue about which one was right and which was wrong depending on who like the other at the time. a total mess. Karen Ann Graser considers herself a prophet , they had made friends with a group that was big into it . I personaly do not trust how it is handled at all and i also believe it can cause damage to folks . they totaly leave God out of the picture.. all about what they can do with PP. who is better more intune etc.. nuts. .

The idea of personal experience is a great thought. but reality must prevail and everyones experience in life is different. even if they appear the same . like the old camp fire game where you wisper a story in someone ear and wait for it to go alll around the group and end up with a far removed story from which it started. we each process our informations in life with our own filters and education and values..hence the outcome or story can be vastly different even in the simple of tasks. it is an odd thing quite brillant really if one is open to the fact each person is indeed an seperate self from another. the problem is those involved in groups like the way never develope a sense of self.. they often struggle with a thought process that is their own and tend to just take on the nearest answer to what their own experience must have been for them. like art work take a group of folks even a small group and ask them to define how it really looks and what that must mean. america is a co-dependent nation , we honor co-dependcy often and this adds to the problem of how we think we must think. twi fed this ideal in a masive manner . One reason being the very age of those who began its group.. and they in turn "witnessed" to others like them. reality belongs to the individual . and to recognize that as a fact one need to be a self and have a idenitity. It is difficult to be yourself , your true self within a group that want to control you. even if it because the care. many just do not desire or know how to develope a self. it is easier to go with what works for others.. no risk. but then comes a day when you realize .. it isnt enough . but not alot of folks reach self actualization because it is not needed to function normaly and indeed can be quite the scary thought of being "alone" in the world. your childhood will often dictate how you can relate to the world.. how much your parents allowed you to become etc. funny thing is if you are able to reach and find who you actualy are your realtionships will improve into a greater love that is honest and real and comfy. But often times not with the people of your orgin because no one really like anyone to change and be different then who they believe you must be.

the minimum you can give is 25 a month for the partnership program . Mark is traveling around with his son right now for awhile visting different "believers" homes. sure it is a money making business.. why not? they do a fine job on that truth and tradition site. I do think they want people to make commintments to their group and want to predict the money flow. Mark is in college , has four kids some in college, John S. has four kids to put through, they travel alot to other countries, they have a sizable staff. alot of family memebers they have camp vision a large area of land . this is their career. I think they work for it. they do what they want when they want how they want where ever they want. I wonder how many pastors of the large churches get to travel with their family for years at a time, go to school on the abs.they live very very well many vacations alot of down time. . but hey who is to say it is wrong? they want it big and better.. to grow , it makes more money . but I truly believe they believe in what they are doing.

New york and California theaters buy the most movies and the sales of the tickets really do determine how the smaller cities buy.

we have had George W. Bush here twice this year. no way can you get any where near him. the roads are marked off and shut down in the path he travels. no traffic no people , security is very tight. every one that is any where near him is cleared by securities and he comes and goes in secret both times they switched the site he was to vist the very day of the vist . he is much more secured than the older president . but they still have a life long guard up. Maybe in texas they like him more and do not have to go through all of this .. haha his home town and all. In NY the news got out that he was coming again and our senators complained to all of us that it will have to be canceled IF he is to come next week because the press found out about it. they werre angry as heck. He did come and they switched sites twice. changed times and canceld a vist. he has never brought the wife . ha not so friendly in NY . good for your kid ex 10

Maybe it is needed see I am sick with what the 911 is and was and will be for us . maybe for others they need to know. I cant imagine not knowing . wish I could. so go see it I bet it will not be a hit here and if it fails here it wont go to those midwest states the theaters wont buy it.

I agree they did the right thing with the family members. but frankly they do not live here for the most part. they live in a world that has just thought about it as a day in time. they want to remeber what they lost in their family, they want to bring honor to those who are HEROS on that plane. But that is not the whole story what people have problems with is the graphic scenes of the city and towers and the total mass confusion and thoughts of DOOM we felt. folks involved???? hahahahha I think you have no clue what that is or means to us. you know I wonder what type of media coverage the other states had. did you have a corner of your tv with the rating of the threat of being attack for the day for over a year? did you see many many many jobs lost forever, not just the towers.. not just the family the whole financial district failed. this is NEW YORK . I have thought about this and this is what i think . those who want to see this type of movie still wonder what is must have been like that day. for them on the plane for the city for the state for people all of it. See I was here I lived it I still live it we all do. We do NOT ever wonder . and God knows we never ever want to be anywhere near what it was and what it has brought our life now ever ever again. it was not a news story to us . it is us.

I think everyone has experiences that "close your mind" UNTILL you have another experience that OPENS your mind, about a subject. HELLO ???? it is called learning . to me that is what life is a learning process of changing and becoming who each one of us is. LIFE is a personal experience. A relationship is a PERSONAL experience. no one does life the same as another, or has a relationship the same as another. Our relationship with the LORD Jesus christ is an intimate realtionship he says we are his FRIENDS. We have friends because we want to share our experiences. why eles have friends or any types of relationships? to take any formula and say this is who I am.. isnt freedom it ispure bondage and a prison of what another or a book or whatever says YOU are. that is NOT life. that is not relationships and that is not love.. and Jesus commands us to LOVE one another.. love means sharing our life which is our experiences each individual sharing and being and doing life. if all we neede is the bible verse why make people ? why command us to care and love one another? why die for us at all? Jesus had quite the experience and we are still wondering about it .

My story is incredible as well , my daughter reminded me of it the other day. I do not know if you can get how bad this was but I will try. I had all the kids in the car my oldest in the front my son and baby in the back with the baby being in a car seat which she had unhooked again!! I lived in a valley and to get out of the apartment complex I had to go up a hill and make a sharp right curve and then down down down a road with buildings on the right and a cliff with a drop off on the left, then trees linign the right side. This was not a road it is a road out of the complex and very dangerous .. well we had the one thing that kills in these northern states.. Black ICE. You can not see it and it must have been very recent , so I didnt know it had rained and frozen over. so as I did the curve the car started spinning all the way down the hill over and over and over at least 1/2 mile. many spins. the baby was laughing and saying weee! my daughter was screaming on top of her lungs every time I pulled it back it would go into another spin. I kept fighting and saying father help father help it seemed like an hour and I kept spinning down down , not little spins all the way around and i would pull it back I was on both sides of the road . at the end of the road is an intersection with a stop sign that goes into a four lane road. no way was I going to stop . finaly a space with no building on the right a parking lot only one problem it had a fence a big wood fence all the way around it with only a car opening in the front.. ok I will try to get in that space or it is the road and the traffic . I closed my eyes (YES i did ) and we woke up in the parking lot stopped never hit the fence. the baby said let do it agian and the kids wanted to go home . up on the hill cars had stopped and turned around and they saw the whole thing. the intersection had cars going through they had no stop sign they would have never seen me coming out of the complex. and would not have been able to stop . the parking lot had two trucks and two cars in it and I missed them both. but I did not stear in the parking lot how did I avoid hitting one of them? yeah miricle. aa geez i remeber it well. l

The film makers have gotten permission and approval from all of the family members of the people in the film. 41/2 years is not a long time for us in NY we live 911, every single day. try to get id in this town or state try to move across our border... LIFE in and of itself has changed 180. We are a border state we have a massive port and we have reports daily of threats and its condition. We have the helicopters flying over head looking and scouting the land . Do YOU? maybe you do, maybe you do not but I bet you are not nearly as aware as we are of the securtities changes since 911. I know many have just forgotten.. oh god I can not NOT imagine ever forgetting 911. A mom who lost her son in the plane said she is afriad it may be to late that people are just forgetting what they did. It was three planes bent on murder and the one that was crashed in PENN was supoose to hit Washington . It was two planes hitting NY towers we are fully completly terroized , SHUT DOWN , as a state , Penn. is very very close by. This all happened in a moment in time . the sirens went off all across the state and every city was in a major STATE of emergency ..thurway and highways shut down all govt buiilding evacuated.. schools going crazy with people pulling their kids out in fear and terror. I am shaking just talking about it. I do not think many understand we really thought we were all going to die that day. The film was pulled from the theators in NY city because of the scene of the planes hitting the towers. The movie shows TV Clips of the towers going down and the attack on the city and such an outcry was made they pulled the movie. I believe right fully so. I know it must be difficult for those who where not here that day or that week or that 41/2 years since to understand what happened to. We all think very differently now. we are on constant guard and it effects many many many areas of our life every single day. we are often still afraid .

about the loading problem.. we have a service that you buy your food from and they drop off the food on any given day on your porch or garage . you can have a repeat order .. done , they just pull up drop off the food and go on their next way. or order by phone when needed. All pet supplies anything you would need. litter food etc.. I used it for many years. here is the killer it was MUCH cheaper than the store price even with delivery. because they had standing orders and many customers they are able to give a better price. they had several types of food and stuff. Your vet may know of such a service in your city. it is a nice service and saves all your complaining about. Look in the yellow pages some may be listed .

I did the Iams to help him lose weight . it didnt work I was harrassed till I caved . the difference is also the Amount in what they need to eat, the lesser brands have "filler" ingreidents that are less able to satisfy an animal so more is needed for them to be satisfied . they eat more so they poop more. and the poop is less quality. hah seriously if you feed a premium brand they will digest better.. meaning they will eat less and they waste MUCH less. eating less means not buying so much food.. get the idea? the better brands suggest a small amount of food per day and that amount works and feeds the animal well. the store brands have the ingrediants that amount to "junk" and leaves the animal with less actual nutrition . he may need to eat more , and poop more on the cheaper brands. hence you will go through more food than the seemingly "more expensive ' brands. So are you really saving any money?

What does it take to change your mind?
pond replied to T-Bone's topic in Doctrinal: Exploring the Bible
CM you got it ! It is about honesty . Change takes honesty and facing the truth as you know it. Many people can not or will not face these parts of life. We do not have to you see no one makes us admit to our own self anything. so we do not change . Tthe reality of change is other people may not like the change and the RISK is a conditionl called change back in the mental circle. When one changes everything around him MUST now change. People are in their comfort zone we are familiar with what we know can or should happen next. when a person changes that 'ZONE" gets all kinds of messed up.. and then they also cn be Thrown out of the confort zone because of YOUR change.. angry feelings can happen and a force to "change back" before you harm us all. the risk is you could lose a relationship. and that is the bottom line on why people have such a difficult time. people can adjust to your change after the intitial fear of everything being different. Or they can continue to control . or you could lose a realtionship. yes we can say if they really love you they will accept your differnt opinion or attitude.. but reality speaks volumes by the number of peopel dealing with anxiety and depression today. change is a risk , and it could cost you something very important. people who want to control you have a power over your life , you gave it to them. for whatever reason it /they are important and if you change that will change: it has to and that is to much for some to face. so we do not change we stay the same out of a fear a very real fear of the consquences of change. Change changes the very core of your relating to one another.. or thought. When it happens the dynamics of communication and doing of it CHANGE and suddenly different manners of coping or relating must be formed for the relationship to continue on .. often the other parties are unwilling to see the need for the change as clearly as you do and will pressure you to make it stop. Because they also fear losing the YOU they know and love. most want a zone of comfort to live in with a predictable outcome. At the same time the personal inner struggle of your own self is having a difficult time with what the change may mean.. some big surprises may happen over one small different ideal! so in the weakened state you "change back" or float between the two ideals UNTIL you can face what may happen next in the risk of changing. change is not easy, but for me it is most rewarding I have learned to rely on MY Saviour to pull me through the messes change can bring to yur life to find a greater happiness, peace, and true growth in who I am. For successful and the least truamatic change to happen in life one MUST HAVE a clear SELF that is defined and ok and willing to grow into what the next choice brings. many do not have that people tend to live off the coat strings of the relationships they have formed inlife and have found comfort in...others want to control . change can give the illusion of being able to "hurt" that , but in TRUTH a solid self can only add to the quality of a realtionship. If it is a healthy relatinship built on honesty and trust and love. -

I change to easily it can cause a problem in life to not be grounded in your beliefs and to 'wander" in your thoughts to the point confussion sets in. I have changed a great deal I do not understand people who do not like change. I am like looking for the rainbow and searching and changing my mind alot it is easy for me.
