Remember the Psych 101 question 'do you think like a psychopath?' A woman's mama died and at the funeral, she met the most amazing man and they talked. She fell in love with him right then and there. He failed to get her number or she his. A few months later, she killed her own sister. Do you know why? For the sake of time and interest, the answer, of course, is that she assumed the man she loved would show up at her sisters funeral. And, that is, in fact, how a psychopath's brain works.

I'd be very concerned, as well, about this diet. I get that it works for you at this time, but the long term consequences might be brutal. I never paid much attention to balance and how the body works until my youngest daughter became very ill with a metabolism illness and she and I have done extensive research on proteins, carbs, fats, how the blood carry's this and that, what the muscles do to and with our foods, even how the skin needs this or that to maintain doing it's job. She's seen the lack of metabolism of foods deprive her bones and teeth of calcium, for instance and has had to have one tooth pulled and 4 fillings in 3 months where she never had so much as a teensy cavity before. This is an illness for her, not as a direct result of purposely cutting out foods, so I get that hers is unique. She consumes things that give her body calcium, but her body doesn't use it, basically. That's another story, however. I just never thought about that stuff before. It's perhaps a matter of life/death for now though and I'm a mama so of course if it's my kids life we're talking about, I'm gonna listen. I understand you added the supplements, etc and I'm glad you're adding at least those, but I'd suspect that when you do, your body hollars "huh?" right? I remember my 20's when I'd do starvation stuff and lose the required 10 lbs I needed for the party on friday night; I didn't know the damage I might be doing to my body and I think maybe my ignorance was good at the time. I assume you're an adult, do whatcha want, but please be careful. Depriving your body of the necessary stuff it has to have over an extended period of time is dangerous, indeed. Caution please!

I'm so sorry ! ! to hear of this. You know I understand what's going on in your families right not; do contact me if there is anything I might do or even if it's 3 am and you need to talk, really, anything. Prayers will continue!

We had so much fun back then. I don't know why, really, just hanging in chat, getting to know each other.......priceless

Yes, Yes and again Yes Steve I know John and I think he's trying to do something, I've always felt he was trying to do ........something. I don't know that this is the something he ought be doing; maybe something else? My grandma told me I have to say "God Bless 'em" if I say anything not so nice about someone. God Bless Him But..........eeeeekkk

Oh hell, this should be on a plaque somewhere.

Watched some of the video's Oh Wow, I am not often speechless

When I gave you a couple of suggestions didja try them yet?

hmmmmm oh and wow........ The Martindale being a big dummy I'll go along with.

ZIXAR~!

Glad to know things are well !

It's nice to see you again, Roy; I was wondering about you and I worry. Maybe it's me who hasn't been around much, but it's nice to see you, nonetheless. Things are well?

Just the word EVIL is creepy and bad bringing, isn't it? I don't know that I always fear it, but certainly try to avoid it where and when possible. EVIL patooey, ick, blech. I get more concerned with evil people than evil itself. Liars, buzzards and such like that. It's not the dark I fear but what's IN that dark that makes my uhoh meter scream.

Jeff You already know how I feel about yerself. I'm proud of you finding your voice! Go, use it, do good and better things that fit you, your purpose, your need, your vision, your son's needs, your tomorrow. I've been blessed to get to share a few things with you here at greasespot cafe and for that I'm thankful ! ! God Speed, my friend Shellon

Looking forward to my tour!

Thanking God for his patience with me when my thoughts wander here, there and over there somemore........ http://somewherebetweenhereandhere.blogspot.com/2010/05/im-sorry-i-was-wrong.html

Thank you

I actually appreciate these. Gives me the ability to show my daughter where daddy is buried, sort of, in their Way Woods. Better than anything she's had up 'til now, at least.

Ok, really, I'm trying to understand here, truly. I'll drop it except to say that I do understand the young people aspect, being a mother and that of a 15 year old who is obviously searching, asking, questioning and yes it is wonderful to see her eyes when she heads for her own decisions. Also the mother of a 28 year old who is making some really bad choices and could use some of some God in my opinion (even if a fable) but who listens to their mama when they're 28? I guess I'm stuck on the "storybook" part of this thread. So rather than keep badgering you about it, I'll move along and maybe the answer will be in here somewhere; it might already be, but I do better with as little in between stuff as possible. I'm just not clear as to what you consider "storybook" where God's love and the Bible and all that is concerned. Pretend there is a white flag in this feller's hand I get it, the answer isn't here, no biggie, just my curious nature to want to know.

I've attempted to follow this thread a little bit........ I'm not understanding something, however. The word "storybook". Are you looking for the perfection stuff, the never make a mistake stuff, the exact never leave room for change or error kind of thing. If so, I think I might get it a little bit, as I find myself on my face (almost literally) before God in some anger that has me reeling lately and I'm finally coming around to the reality the last few days, I hope. Not to mention that my almost 15 year old daughter has been asking me some really honest and difficult questions about God and people and putting the two together; most of them I can't answer for her and that's prompted me to consider 'what the hell DO I believe/think/want'. For me and me only. You don't know my children, but this one can debate! So, it's been a fantastic time of digging deep and looking long. I guess what I'm saying, Composer, is I'm not sure I get what your question is; or comment perhaps. I do well with the straight up information, no matter if your information isn't necessarily pretty. Just trying to understand.

Congratulations !

Thank you Tommy ! It was a really nice day
