It's my sister's wedding anniversary today. She can never figure out why it's so easy for me to remember the date. LOL

That was lovely. He was 7 years younger than my Nana. I'm sorry you lost your Dad when you were only 14. I have a friend who lost her Dad at 17 and it makes her sad that she didn't have him longer. She still really misses him too.

If there's a lilac bush anywhere near me, I'll be the one standing there with my head in the bush, inhaling deeply. It's my favourite scent in the world. And yeah, they're not around long enough. It'll be awhile before we see any lilac bushes around here though. Like June. LOL

Oh, Messy, I'm so sorry. I've never had a spouse, but I've watched what my Mom has gone through since we lost my Dad. *BIG HUG* to you.

I worked with those janitors, while there were still paid ones. They were lovely people. They loved their Bishops. They loved their chapels. Working only part-time, they didn't make all that much money, but they took great pride in the work that they did. Some would cry, saying that they didn't have enough time, or the right tools to get the job done. But they did the best that they could

How does Robyn know that the other wives have stretch marks. How does she know about their sex life? She has no business knowing those things, nevermind talking about them. She revealed how horrible she really is.

The one thing I am grateful for, when it comes to my Dad, is that he got to live a normal life, blissfully unaware of what was to come, right up to the end. It's just that we didn't have time to adjust to the idea of losing him. But I told myself that one day I'd be glad that my Dad didn't spend a few years suffering.
Forum: Recovery Board

Yes, truly. In 2017, my Dad sang a duet with my Mom on June 17th. On June 26th he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was gone on July 9th. The poor guy said to his doctor, "But I was fine two weeks ago." It can be such a shock. It was that fast.
Forum: Recovery Board

I think that's why it shocked me so much. Someone born in the 50s, like me, is suddenly 71 years old and has passed away. It's too close for comfort.

That one was a bit of a shock. I had to blink a few times, not quite believing what I was reading. :( RIP Kirstie.

Kody told Christine that he no longer wanted to have an intimate relationship with her and then he had the gall to be angry with her for leaving and blaming her for tearing apart the family. He actually expected to reject her and then she would just stick around. That doesn't even make sense. He blamed Christine for not nurturing relationships with the other wives. But she staged a big ba

You're divorced in Heaven if you are granted a sealing cancellation, but that isn't always easy to get. I know a few people who obtained one.

I'm very sorry that you lost your brother, tumwater. I know what that feels like because I lost mine last year as well. He was 59. But he was my little brother. It's a very strange feeling to lose a sibling. And yes, no matter how many times he drove me crazy, all I know is that I lost my little brother and I wish that I hadn't. *HUGS* to you as you process this significant loss.

Do Protestants believe that babies are born with the original sin of Adam like the Catholics do, where you have to wash off that original sin as soon as possible?

If it was Shawn, it was sort of weird to hear him being the one in the hot seat, being made to look silly.

I'd probably give them a very long stare and then say, "If that's who you think you'd be if you ever stopped being religious, then I hope you never question your faith."

I'm not sure how I'm going to feel when my mother passes away. I struggle with eating disorders. I struggle with taking care of a mother who has spent my entire life criticizing me, being manipulative, and generally giving me a hard time. She has said some pretty awful things to me. She deliberately tries to sabotage any efforts that I make to heal myself when it comes to eating. She prides

I would say that human beings are obviously capable of doing some pretty horrible things. There's no need to invent an invisible evil character that's behind it all, that you can never prove is actually there.
