  1. "Anyone Know a Good Book About Jesus? " The bible or the book of mormon. sorry, that was the first thing that came to mind. Yep, I'm a dork.
  2. I love men in black! I love will smith. He is so hot. Wait, will and jada are getting a devorce? When did that happen?
  3. nice guy, sounds like you and me are going to be having a very similar christmas!!! have fun! I'll be thinkin about you!!!!
  4. I'm actually REALLY stressing about it... I got him a Wii and all this Wii stuff, and I just hope he doesn't open it Christmas morning and go, oh, I wanted an X box. Haaaa! Have to go to best buy and return everything!!!
  5. lol... never pegged you for a gamer Anne. It all makes sense now.
  6. Awwww!!! I should get him a pair of those really fluffy socks (in pink!). Haaaaa! He would NEVER wear them!
  7. Oh, so I also got Cabela's Big Game Hunter, and Cabela's Survival on Katmai (or whatever it's called), oregon trail, mario brothers, zumba (sp?), and need for speed... Actually that may be enough for now. I think it will take us a while to get thru all those anyway.
  8. Come on people... work with me here. Don't let this thread die. 10 days til Christmas!!!
  9. Bible Videos - The Life of Jesus Christ - Watch Scenes from the Bible I just watched all the videos, and can't wait to see more! I only wish the video clips were longer. Actually I think it would be VERY cool if they would do the entire Bible (and BOM!) (with the verses on the screen as you go along). I know it would probably be cost prohibitive, but I think it would be really neat. And I think it would be an awesome way to be able to 'watch' your scriptures!
  10. In Jr. High my spanish teacher was pregnant. In the middle of class she was messing with her water bottle, and announced, "Oh no, my water broke!". One of my classmates (whose mother was also pregnant at the time) literally dove under his desk, and the rest of us were hysterical, until she explained what she meant. It was pretty funny!
  11. What a wonderful and inspiring testimony! I am so happy for you, and so glad that the Father found and gathered you in. I am proud to call you my brother. Welcome to the forum!
  12. I thought you guys were talking about how to control having a baby after you are pregnant, I was thinking, how on earth to do you keep a baby from coming out?!? EEK!!!
  13. Okay, now it looks like I'm the one who brought it back to life! It wasn't me, I promise!!! I've had to do CPR in the field many times, and I haven't saved one yet! Seriously. I don't have a good track record.
  14. Even tho this thread was resurrected, I have to say I laughed and laughed when I read it. Totally made my day! Thank you!!!
  15. Apple, that is SO funny, because I have the same problem with my mom!!! I am so glad that you have had mostly good doctors!!! I am finally happy with my 'team', and now I just have to put them all under contract to never leave! hee hee hee
  16. Even if we were to get everyone who currently uses this forum to come to an agreement as to the definition of the term 'abuse' (which I highly doubt will ever happen, but for the sake of argument, let's say we can), there is a high likelyhood that someone new will join in the future, and will use the term in a fasion differently than the way we all think it should be used. Which would blow the entire system. So this whole discussion is a moot point. I think this thread was started, more likely, directed at one or another specific references to abuse that the author finds unreliable, and wanted to point that out publicly. Just my guess, but I could be 'judging' incorrectly!
  17. Or perhaps if there is a warrant out for homicide you can't have a TR, but if you have a warrant for unpaid traffic tickets you could. Where would they draw the line?
  18. Interesting point. I wonder if you could get a temple recommend if there is a warrant out for your arrest? Kind of the same thing?
  19. Another thing my pain doctor told me, is that if you are going to take the drug, you might as well take enough of it so that it works!!!
  20. Plus there are a lot of doctors who are so afraid to prescribe narcotic pain medications that even the 'good' patients can run into problems. When my brain tumor was diagnosed I was 'assigned' to an oncologist. He was great. He was a 'close talker', but he was awesome. I was innocent and had NO idea that I could run into the problems I eventually ran into. He treated me, and gave me norco for the pain. If I had a particularly bad headache, or was throwing up a lot, I could go into the infusion center and he would order anything I needed. He was awesome. Then he left the hospital for family reasons (not a good reason in my opinion... I still miss him!!!) So I got a new oncologist, who was an idiot, plain and simple. People I didn't even know came up to me to appologize for having to be his patient! Anyway, that is another story. He started giving me a hard time about being on a lot of different medications. I decided to go to a pain clinic instead of having to deal with him. The pain clinic doctors are the only ones who will prescribe those kinds of drugs (in my area at least). The pain clinic doctor is the one who helped me understand that I wasn't addicted, just dependent. He told me that there are a lot of doctors who are so afraid of the spike in illegal prescription drug use, that they just won't prescribe it at all. It is crazy, and unfortunate.
  21. And it is a blessing that is usually not recognized until you don't have it. I am so sorry about that situation classy. My prayers and support go out to your family. Tough deal.
  22. Done. Did it. Bam! In your face people who thought I wouldn't really do it!!! I don't know why I'm being so confrontational. I'm in a goofy mood! Bam!
  23. In annother thread this topic was brought up, and in an attempt to not hijack the other thread I'm gonna go ahead and start a new one. It is an important topic, and a personal one, for me. The fact is that there is a difference between addiction to medications and dependence on medications. As I said in the other thread, it took me years to understand this. I was so terrified of being addicted to medications I would refuse to take them as much as they were prescribed and heaped a lot of unncessary pain on myself. I would always tell my doctors that I didn't want to be addicted to anything, and they would always comment that I didn't have an addictive personality. Then the one stupid doctor who makes a dumb comment that I am addicted to all my medications didn't help. Took another doctor telling me to dump that doctor, and then he explained to me that everyone becomes dependent on their medications, but to be 'addicted' the patient has to exhibit addict like behaviors, like doing anything to obtain medication, etc. I just wanted to put this out there in case there is anyone else who is in my shoes, who is having similar problems. Listen to your doctors!!! Take your meds AS prescribed!!!
