me? GO TO HELL WITH VALENTINE! I agree with you mythgarr...For the reason that lifehappens stated below, plus Valentine's Day has never meant much to me aside from the decorations that are fun for children to make. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quo
I'm so sad that people are so confused about "religion." *sigh* Satan loves it when people argue about such a simple thing. He thrives on watching us chase our own tails, when all we wanted was that drink of water that's right in front of us.
That's an excellent proposal. I hope someone who's got some pull sees your article. The only roadblock I see to your plan really isn't your fault at all: it's that the end consumer tends to be the driving force behind the cheap labor to begin with. There needs to be a HUGELY INTENSE educational effort to teach consumers why it's better to buy things at a slightly higher price than we'd like to. Boycott the ultra-inexpensive, albeit satisfactory-quality, products. Ouch. I
I hate to sound so brainwashed, but I've really thought the issue out carefully in addition to the Church's stance on abortion. It really makes sense to me that abortion is completely wrong "except in the rare cases where, in the opinion of competent medical counsel, the life or good health of the mother is seriously endangered or where the pregnancy was caused by rape [or incest] and produces serious emotional trauma in the mother. Even t
Why do people drink coffee *at all* ???? Gross. How about a morning jolt via a great aerobics class. But who am I to criticize? I'm sitting here with a package of Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies. Also, you don't have a thyroid? Ack. That's pretty hugely major. I've never heard of such a thing. Thank God we live in this day & age. I suppose that's why there are so many people in the world right now. If not for modern medicine, most of us wo
Reason suggests that if a person has a fulfilling love life, then they're less likely to to crave chocolate for the resultant dopamine rush. So if a person has love, then why should they need chocolate during Valentine's Day? I wonder if people buying the chocolate are either: 1) buying it for themselves as a substitute for the rush that feelings of love
Draginol, That's so amazing that you mentioned Melatonin. I've been trying to get my hands on some, but I can't find it (or haven't looked hard enough) here in Germany. It's the only thing that helps me sleep. But I never thought of it to calm me down when I'm feeling manic. Thanks.
Saturday, January 29, 2005 Thankfully, lack of REM doesn't put a damper on my productivity during the day. We had the best primary activity this morning. From 10-11:30am we acted out what it's sort of like to be in the Premortal Life, then the Earth life, then the Spirit World. It was so beautifully done, and all we primary teachers had to
Saturday, January 29, 2005 I had a good talk with my doctor yesterday. He's just a family practitioner, as I'm really being given the run-around about getting an appointment with Dr. Franco, the only LDS psychiatrist in this area. But my family practitioner was very caring and understanding. We talked a lot about the bipolar thing, and I told him that I don't
Friday, January 28, 2005 "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." How's that for a one-stop answer to all of my selfish problems? Also especially fitting are these: Matthew 16:25, Mark 8:35, Luke 9:24, Luke 17:33 posted by Angela Marie at 1:00 AM <!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-St
Thursday, January 27, 2005 Today (OK, yesterday) we went to Azur. Michael makes everything so magical for us!! I know all you parents out there understand just how magical they make life.

Thursday, January 27, 2005 Remember last December one of the General Authorities gave a talk about some young boy nearly a century ago...still alive today...with a story worth sharing... During his talk, the General Authority held up a very old, very loved boy scout manual that the aforementioned boy had given to his father as a Christmas present so
January 27, 2005 I've thought of this before, but I ought to write it down so I never have to rely on having another epiphany to remind me. I've struggled with my chemical imbalance. I've tried doctors, medications. The fact is, Heavenly Father gave me this chemical imbalance as a test to get me to understand that I need to come to Him firs
Wednesday, January 26, 2005 Talked with Stacy on the phone yesterday. Among a million things we talked about, I wished her a happy belated b-day! I just learned that her b-day was 2 weeks ago. She said, "Yeah 26. I feel so old." I laughed. I know what she means though. I told her when I turned 25, it finally dawned on me what all the hoopla about ag
Tuesday, January 25, 2005 My husband treats me so well. He has truly mastered the art of Unconditional Love. I never imagined that anyone could put up with someone like me; all my ups and downs. He rides with them like a pro. This morning I could tell that he was studying me very closely to determine how he should handle me today. I was unusually em
Tuesday, January 25, 2005 Women in Congo There are women in their native home of Congo who are being kidnapped from their husbands and families. They are kidnapped by men who keep them as prisoners. They are kept as prisoners solely to satisfy the lusts of the men. They are raped daily, sometimes several times a day. Their husbands have often witnessed t
Monday, January 24, 2005 I'm currently "suffering" from an upswing that may be a manifestation of this bipolar thing. If I am indeed "bipolar" I refuse to call it a disorder because, you know what? I love the ups. That's when I'm normal and I can do things. I don't do crazy things like some people characterized as bipolar do. I merely function extremely well
Friday, January 21, 2005 OK, I'm all done exercising. That was an hour and a half I guess. At one point it was feeling really good, then I took a 30 second water break, started moving again, felt good, then eventually I must have begun to enter the fat burning stage. That's the point at which the initial burst of energy is gone, and when most fatso'
Friday, January 21, 2005 There's a ward party going on right now. It's nearing it's end by now probably. It caught us off guard. I read about in my email about 2 hours before it started. Chili potluck. That requires planning. I don't have chili. I would have loved to go though. Why is it that the church is the only thing in my life, but I
Friday, January 21, 2005 I went from sleeping for like a solid week...to THIS. Now I want to do 50 bizillion things, and I want to get them all done at once! I've got a stack of home movies that I want to render from DV back to digitally to put some selections on our web page. But in order to do that, I'll have to -ugh- WATCH them all to d
Friday, January 21, 2005 So a bunch of people tried to gather near the Capitol building to protest our dear President. To them I say, get over it. He's our President. There's not much that you freezing your butts off will do to change that right now. If there's anything worth protesting, I think it'd be the $40 million tab on the festivities. I can
Friday, January 21, 2005 I'm on a waking marathon. When I go to bed tonight I will have been awake for 28 hours. This is an attempt to get myself back onto a diurnal schedule. The reward will be Church on Sunday Morning! Wish me luck. posted by Angela Marie at 5:47 AM <!-- Ju-Anchor-F
Friday, January 21, 2005 John remembered the Kids' Zone at Kapaun air station. It's like a Chuck E. Cheese, or Discovery Zone. Except it's pretty much free unless you decide to buy pizza or something. Woohoo! We'd forgotten all about that place! Michael is just now at the age where he could appreciate something like that. We pulled up at a quarter t
Friday, January 21, 2005 That's what I say to myself in regard to all the below posts. What a whiner I am. "People are notorious minimizers of unpleasant realities.

Wednesday, January 19, 2005 This house is a mess. I clean it every day, and moments later it's like a bomb hit it. He's just a year old. How does he do it? I'm sick of it. I was sick of it a long time ago. There is no joy in life, just annoying, repetitive tasks. So I choose to sleep. My dreams are a whole lot better. Last night I w
