LOL....yes...rain...the f-ing plow just went by and put about 3 more feet at the end of the driveway...BUT...I also have a SNOW ANGEL....the last 3 times I have been out shoveling in the past year.....a man with a tractor has come by and scooped the end of the driveway....AND...it has nothing to do with the SEXY ATTIRE I am wearing while shoveling...because I stay in my pjs...robe, throw on boots and put on a down jacket with the hood and mismatched gloves....LOL.....

lol..I love your attitude!!!......lots of luck Missy...I have to go out in it and go to work..ugh!

Ask God...to get out of work....maybe you'll get a flat tire or something Not that I wish you to get a flat tire...but a good excuse not to go to work. I'm eating a granola bar..I started shoveling and figured out I was hungry.....

They don't dismiss God, at all. Actually noetic sciences tries to back him up with proof. Like this for example..
http://www.ghostweb.com/soul.html
if it's tl;dr, here's the highlights:

The patient was under observation for three hours and forty minutes before death, lying on a bed arranged on a light framework built upon very delicately balanced platform beam scales.
The patient's comfort was looked after in every way, although he was practically moribund when placed upon the bed. He lost weight slowly at the rate of one ounce per hour due to evaporation of moisture in respiration and evaporation of sweat.
During all three hours and forty minutes I kept the beam end slightly above balance near the upper limiting bar in order to make the test more decisive if it should come.
At the end of three hours and forty minutes he expired and suddenly coincident with death the beam end dropped with an audible stroke hitting against the lower limiting bar and remaining there with no rebound. The loss was ascertained to be three-fourths of an ounce.
This loss of weight could not be due to evaporation of respiratory moisture and sweat, because that had already been determined to go on, in his case, at the rate of one sixtieth of an ounce per minute, whereas this loss was sudden and large, three-fourths of an ounce in a few seconds.
The bowels did not move; if they had moved the weight would still have remained upon the bed except for a slow loss by the evaporation of moisture depending, of course, upon the fluidity of the feces. The bladder evacuated one or two drams of urine. This remained upon the bed and could only have influenced the weight by slow gradual evaporation and therefore in no way could account for the sudden loss.
There remained but one more channel of loss to explore, the expiration of all but the residual air in the lungs. Getting upon the bed myself, my colleague put the beam at actual balance. Inspiration and expiration of air as forcibly as possible by me had no effect upon the beam. My colleague got upon the bed and I placed the beam at balance. Forcible inspiration and expiration of air on his part had no effect. In this case we certainly have an inexplicable loss of weight of three-fourths of an ounce. Is it the soul substance? How other shall we explain it?

Sorry if it's still too long lol. But I'd totally recommend noetic theory for the curious.

And energies.. well yeah. I speak for that. No links lol. But they make for fascinating study time =]

I am going to read about Noetic theroy, because I still don't understand...where they tryiing to prove that a soul left the body or trying to prove just the shutting down of a body? I feel stupid right now.

Don't =p I believe they were trying to prove the soul one. Duncan Macdougall thought the soul had mass and weight, and he may have proved it. Or at least proved something we aren't sure of.

BRIEZE - Noetic doesn't seem to compare the thought process of whether there is a GOD or not...but has to do with the power of our minds . I read that people that study the human mind (Noetics) believe that the human mind is capable of affecting work or events or even doing work in the physical world. I actually saw Deepak Chopra mentioned in something I was reading...and I LOVE LISTENING TO HIM....I have many of his tapes....THE POWER OF NOW...is great! Thanks for helping me learn something today...(Oh, I will thank you properly, with a REP!)

 

[brieze]

=D Right you are, Duncan's experiment was just that, an experiment. I didn't mean to imply it was the basis of noetic theory, but reading back through my post, I kind of did lol. Sorry about that. I just get really excited when it comes to science =p

No, I thought that Noeticism...was another belief...like Budhism (sp?)...and other religions....I think it was just the way I read your post....and interpreted...like I said...I learned something...I love science also...wish I was smart enough to have taken my love of science and to have gone to college for it.

All you young people that have a chance...go to colllege....you will regret it if you dont.
I don't feel like I had the chance...but it was by my own choices, getting pregnant...etc.

 

[brieze]

Hey, if you love it, you're smart enough =] Science is more logic, anyway. The hard part to me is the math, but I'm still going to get my bachelor in biology. It's never too late to go.

Thats awesome that you are going to get your BS...I work in a place where a BS is required...we make medicine...but since I have been there 14 years...I'm grandfathered in...they laid off 400 peple 3 years ago...I was kept and surprised...because they want top notch educated staff....SO...keep up the good work...I dont have the formal education...and I wish that I did...I would go back to school now..but I am paying way too much to support my adult children...EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON....so I'm not going to question it...if I get to go back to school...I will..it won't be for a science degree...unless its NURSING...I completed most of those courses..but then life got in the way.

That was an accident, God didn't kill her....God didn't create the storm, He just created our ability to have one. It makes me very sad to hear that somebody was killed..but we've got to stop blaming God for everything.

You misunderstood. I wasn't blaming God for the storm. Storms are just an unfortunate part of nature. Missy felt like God had sent the storm for her. I was just responding probably not. If God wanted to help Missy get a day off then he would have figured out a way to do it without sending a storm that killed people. I'm on your side here.

But there are some out there that blame God too.

At least they're consistent.

I thought about it and decided to just grin and bear it...lol..besides, I don't think God's gonna help me pay my mortgage...lol

I understand exactly what you're saying, but the storm didn't kill anybody either....like I said...it's all about circumstance.

It is a possibility that your mortgage might be paid, play the lottery and then PRAY

Ok, I sound like a freak...but its true. I have been having a HORRIBLE time since last August. But, I always get the RELIEF that I need. So, I decided to call into work yesterday because I had a nervous breakdown over the weekend. I catogrize what happened to me on Sunday afternoon as a nervous breakdown...uncontrollable crying (i don't normally cry), my body was shaking...I could not MOVE after the big cry...I could not eat...just wanted to sleep. I had to get up for 430 am. on Monday to get to work by 7am because I bring my son to a Methadone clinic before work...the clinic is pretty far from our area. I got up at 430am yesterday and immediately started sobbing...again......I could barely put my clothes on...so, I did...I took my son to the clinic... So, today....I managed to get up for work...went to bed really early last night. Got into work...and I hear that I am going to be doing the same job that I HATE until the end of March now (another long story, but I was originally told it would end in Jan, then Feb)...So first thing this morning...I'm told until March, felt like sobbing again...but DID NOT. I realize, I need the job and the money...So I had been intending on asking to change my hours to make it easier for me to take my son to the clinic...I figure 8 hours are 8 hours...So, I asked if I could change my hours...from 8-4....YUP, granted.....Then...I hear of this big snow storm that is coming...My boss then sends out an e-mail because she needs a headcount of who is willing to come in...even if our state is declared an emergency....We make drugs that help people, we have a schedule and the storm does not stop us. I NORMALLY would drive in it.....I decided that GOD - sent this GIFT...especially for me....I know it sounds insane...and maybe I am...but I desperately NEED to have a breather...I immediately responded to the email and said...I am going to STAY HOME tomorrow. I am in my pajamas...for the first time since August...I don't have to worry about my alarm tomorrow (the Methadone clinic gave everyone take homes, because of the storm). When you test dirty you are not supposed to get a take home, but since the facility will be closed they HAD to give my son a take home because you can not deny a person on Methadone "their dose". Also...come to find out....A job that I was supposed to do yesterday (that I do every Monday)....got majorily screwed up....and it WASNT by ME...because I decided to call in...I feel that God gave me that gift as well....because the person that was doing the job should have noticed the mistake...and didn't....I know I was in no condition to work yesterday and I probably would have missed the same mistake...my company makes drugs....its very BAD when we screw up anything or are not paying TOP NOTCH attention...I really feel like GOD kept me out of that situation yesterday, I kept feeling like I should go to work...but my insides told me to stay home. The person who screwed up is a good employee...detailed...etc. and I feel bad...but IM WICKED happy it wasn't me If it had been me...people may have focused on MY current life situation and stress factors...and I am completely FREE of worrying about that situation as well. Even thou...I have had it tough for the last few months....I have had various signs of someone watching over me.....and just in 2 days....I have gotten signs...that someone is watching out for me....Its GOD....:thumbup

Dear god woman, learn how to use paragraphs and punctuation.



Oh and it was just normal weather patterns stop ascribing divine intervention to things just because you want your life to seem fantastical.

Um...whats wrong with wanting my life to seem "fantasitical"?????? It is at times...fantastical...and when it is, I share. When it isn't I share. And I will continue to share...

Because you're living in a delusion. God didn't do that for you. It is normal weather patterns that happen this time of the year. I'm not sure how you're not seeing that.


If god didn't save the Jews from the furnaces of Auschwitz I'm pretty sure he doesn't care about your workday. I don't want to sound harsh but I have to with this one.
