Seventh-day Adventism
Christ died so we could write articles on |
Christianity |
Random examples |
Resources |
Seventh-day Adventism is a denomination of Christianity which holds that Jesus' return is imminent (though conveniently never setting a specific date for his return). Its largest organized church is the Seventh-day Adventist Church, with approximately 16 million members worldwide.[1]
It should be noted that Seventh-day Adventism necessitates a belief in young Earth creationism. The "seventh-day" is a reference to the seventh day of the biblical creation story: God literally made the world in six 24-hour days, and then on the seventh, he rested.[2]
That day of rest is why Seventh-day Adventists hold the true sabbath to be only on the seventh day of the week, Saturday, as opposed to the majority of Christian sects, which hold that the sabbath is on Sunday. Adventists take this difference very seriously, to the point that some buy into a conspiracy theory about National Sunday laws (wherein other Christian denominations gang up on Adventists to mandate a Sunday-only sabbath across the nation).
Contents |
[edit] The SDA Church
The SDA Church was officially founded in 1844.[3]
In addition to rejecting evolution,[4] the SDA church also opposes gay marriage,[5][6] unions,[7] and abortion[8] (though they make exceptions for cases of rape or incest,[8] which is more leeway than many other fundamentalist Christian denominations are willing to give).
The SDA church is officially pacifist[9] and encourages vegetarianism as a way of caring for the environment.[10]
Although she was active in the abolitionist movement, critics allege that a particular line in her book Spiritual Gifts show that Ellen White and Seventh-day Adventism may still be racist, "Since the flood there has been amalgamation of man and beast, as may be seen in the almost endless varieties of species of animals, and in certain races of men."[11] Despite saying all races were equal, she also suggested segregated churches in the south.
Ellen G White disliked masturbation so much she never actually wrote the word, instead she used euphemisms as she condemned it with scientifically inaccurate Victorian medical literature.
[edit] Other Adventists
The Branch Davidians — infamous for the disastrous siege undertaken on their compound near Waco, Texas in 1993, where 81 people ended up dying due to rank incompetence on the part of the federal agents involved — were an offshoot (of an offshoot[wp]) of Seventh-day Adventism.
While not an official offshoot, "progressive Adventists" or "cultural Adventists" comprise a distinct segment of the overall church.[12][13]
[edit] Origins
Seventh-day Adventism traces its roots back to a movement led by William Miller,[3] a Baptist preacher who, during the early 1800s, preached that his research into biblical prophecy indicated that Jesus would return in 1843. When his set date inevitably passed much like other supposed prophecies, his movement fell apart, and its members fractured. Some, including Miller, renounced Baptist Christianity, while others continued to believe that the Second Coming was imminent, but this time (surprise, surprise) didn't set a date. These believers formed the core of what would eventually become the Adventist movement. (Another, even wackier group said that Jesus had come and that his reign had begun; these are known as the Jehovah's Witnesses).
The modern SDA Church began to coalesce with the writings and teachings of Ellen G. White, who claimed to see visions. She was hailed by her followers as a prophet.[14] She articulated many of the church's core beliefs, including the observance of the sabbath on Saturday. The church was officially established in Battle Creek, Michigan, on May 23, 1863, with a membership of 3,500. Membership grew with missionaries, who actively exported Seventh-day Adventism to developing nations in Asia, Africa, and South America.
[edit] Activities
Seventh-day Adventism is the source of many cheap, mass distributed books. You might've seen them around: The Desire of Ages, The Great Controversy, America In Prophecy, and National Sunday Law Crisis (the first three being heavily-edited reprints of books by SDA prophet Ellen G. White).
In 1986, Colin Cook, founder of Homosexuals Anonymous, an Adventist ministry targeted at disaffected homosexuals, was discovered to be engaging in sexual acts with his patients.[15]
In 2011 the Great Controversy Project began soliciting donations to enable the mass-mailing of the seminal Adventist text The Great Controversy to select U.S. zip codes. (The value of this effort is dubious, given that, being a book over 200 pages long,[16] The Great Controversy would be the most unwieldy brick of unwanted mail ever stuffed in people's mailboxes.) Included with the book would be the warning "Time is running out! Obama just signed the hate crimes bill that might make it illegal to distribute this book". (Needless to say, this claim is not true.)
To its credit, the Seventh-Day Adventist church owns and operates dozens of hospitals and five medical schools throughout the world, as well as a network of universities which (unlike some places we could mention) are actually regarded as viable learning venues in at least a few subjects.

What are the drawbacks of the system? The process currently applies only to the Web. Once a licensed file is downloaded, the user may have no idea which of the standard provisions apply since they do not accompany the file. Exploring technological solutions for ensuring that the identity of any file in any format is maintained and thereby retained in the public commons is a major development thrust of the project at the current time.
A second drawback is that finding files licensed under a Creative Commons license currently is very difficult. The team has talked to Google with the idea that a researcher will eventually be able to do searches on Google that are limited to public-domain and public-commons works. With this capability, a user will have at least some confidence that what they have found through this process, whether a music file or journal article, can be used freely without breaching someone's copyright.
A third drawback may arise if the Creative Commons Project proves to be a great success and hundreds of scientists start attaching open-access licenses to their articles and data sets before submitting them for peer review. Some scientists already attach such licenses to their submitted journal articles. Those articles are summarily rejected by most publishers without even being subjected to peer review. Will increased submissions by other scientists help place pressure on the publishers? Possibly, however my experience is that most scientists are likely to buckle. The current scholarly reward system is such that most scientists are more concerned with whether the journals in which they publish are ranked in Science Citation Index or Social Sciences Citation Index than whether they are broadly accessible. The reward system is not focused on the bigger picture of overall progress in science. We should change the reward system for the individual scientist decision maker.
Most researchers want the ability to cite across any and all scholarly domains and link from any citation found on the Web to the full article or the full data set on the open Web. That is what open access is all about; we would like to be able to use the Web as one large open library for us to share with one another. Open-access electronic journals are not likely to completely replace the commercial scientific literature, but open-access literature has a potential major role to play. Most researchers realize the benefits of having access and freely available access to one another's works.
The secret to open access, according to Peter Suber, is to keep control in the hands of those who most want open access—the authoring scholars. How do we keep control in the hands of the authoring scholars? How do we affect the decision making of individual scholars so that they retain power over their articles? There are several practical actions that can be taken to change the reward system. We should, for instance, consider changing the policies of funding agencies. These policies should encourage researchers to report in their grant applications only those articles and data sets that are in open-access archives. It does little good for a reviewer to assess another scholar's work or research proposals unless the reviewer has access to all the relevant significant works created by that other scientist. The current system of limited access for scientists in other than the wealthiest of institutions supports lost opportunities in advancing the progress of science.
We should be changing promotion and tenure policies. Peer-reviewed data sets and articles placed in open archives are much more valuable to society, and therefore ought to be recognized as such. The work of university scientists should be available to the world and not just to a small population of economically privileged scientists.
We should also change university intellectual property policies. Formal university policies should encourage professors and researchers to use open-access licenses and should give them full authority to use such licenses for their intellectual property.
Finally, we should identify within each of our disciplinary domains those journals willing to accept open-access licenses and those that are not. We should identify those journals allowing authors to post final journal articles on the Web and those that are not. The goal is that the reward system will eventually benefit economically those that follow open-access approaches.
If the reward system for scholars is restructured and online facilities were made easy, would individual scholars across the globe make use of open-access methods and archives to make their works available for sharing with others? I believe that the history of science shows that the majority of scientists would do so.

There is a broken link for the salmon
what happened to the salmon recipe?
The salmon looks good, so I searched the FN site for the recipe. Found it here: http://ht.ly/5pO3a?ref=nf
Happy grilling!-
Well darn. That link is a redirect back to the main page!
Anyway, if you want the salmon recipe just search for the recipe name and you will find it!
I don't even like salmon and it looks good! -
YUMMMMY I am excited!!!!!

When I first saw this title Weekend Cookout: The Lighter Side of Grilling | FN Dish – Food Network Blog on google I just whent and bookmark it. Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

On "Balance"
What does it mean to say that someone's reporting is "balanced"? I think it's supposed to suggest something like "not one-sided," which is really supposed to imply "fair." I really do believe in fairness in journalism, but the whole "balance" metaphor seems completely wrong to me. Anyway it's become clear to me that this word means different things to different people.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Dog baiting is setting game dogs against a chained or confined animal for sport. The dogs bite and tear to subdue the opposing animal by incapacitating or killing it. Baiting is a blood sport used for entertainment and gambling. It is illegal in most countries with varying levels of enforcement.
During various periods of history and in different cultures around the world, various types of baiting, named for the species used, have been confirmed. These include badger-baiting, bear-baiting, bull-baiting, donkey-baiting, duck-baiting, hog-baiting, human-baiting, hyena-baiting, lion-baiting, monkey-baiting, rat-baiting, and wolf-baiting. Much of what is known about baiting comes from England in the Middle Ages, although it has not been legal there for some time. It is still practiced, however, in other parts of the world, including some cultures of Central Asia.
Baiting is illegal under section 445 of the criminal code in Canada.[1]
Baiting is generally illegal in the United States of America.

UPDATE: Rainie Falls Search Called Off
- Details
- Published on Monday, 07 May 2012 08:42
- Hits: 2035
Incident Date/Time: May 5, 2012, about 2:50 p.m.
Incident Location: Rainie Falls on the Rogue River
Case Number: 12001279
Drowning Victim
Joshua S. Eddy, 03/05/1993
Resident of Rogue River, Oregon
Next of kin notified
Yesterday, two marine deputies rafted from the Grave Creek boat landing to Marial searching for Joshua Eddy, the 19-year-old who fell in at Rainie Falls on Saturday, May 5th.
The area is inaccessible by power boat, thereby requiring the deputies to raft the 12-15 mile distance in an attempt to locate the body.
A private plane also flew overhead searching for him.
Neither the plane nor the deputies were able to locate him, and the official search has been called off.
It is believed that Joshua Eddy drowned, and his next of kin have been notified.
The river is very high, swift and cold at this time, which contributes to the difficulty in locating a body. A Search & Rescue dive team was not deployed due to the danger that the current conditions would present to volunteer dive team members.
Eddy fell in at about 2:50 p.m. on Saturday, May 5th while standing near Rainie Falls trying to snap a photo.
He was reportedly with a group of 6-8 people. Some stayed there near the river while others hiked out and drove to the Rand BLM office to call 911.
On Saturday, Sheriff's deputies, Rural Metro Fire, American Medical Reponse and two Search & Rescue ground searchers responded.
Citizens are advised to be very cautious when engaging in any activity on the Rogue River. The river conditions are high, swift and cold. The terrain in many areas is rocky and unsure. Always travel with a companion, and remember that cell phone service is sparse.
If you see a body in the river, do not approach or touch it. Call 911 and first responders will respond to safety recover it.

The only time I've ever really gotten into dirty talk was when I had phone sex with this guy I like. He's got a deep voice and a really thick Israeli accent, which is nice, but it leads to a lot of things getting lost in translation:
"I wont to catch your boobs when I'm facking wiz you, my dear, and to pull your hair and to hit your ass."
and also:
"Do you watch porn, my dear?"
"Yes, of course."
"A horse?!?!?!?!?"
But I never really had a planned initiation into dirty talk. We had had playful bouts in conversation before (us exchanging syrupy "mmhmm's" for several minutes). I just called him one night, he happened to be a little drunk, and I loved his voice. We were talking about something benignly sexy but the implications were definitely there. I was alone and horny and his voice became too much to bear, so I began touching myself as he talked.
"What are you doing, my dear?"
"Oh nothing. Just lying in bed."
"Are you touching yourself."
He caught me. "Yes," I said sheepishly. "Are you?"
"Yeah." He said in a long, drawn out breath. That was it. That was all we needed to go in full force. He told me all about how he wanted to eat my pussy, to suck on it, as well as every other part of my body. How he wanted to bite my ass, how he wanted to fuck me in a million different ways, and most of all, how he wanted to do whatever I wanted him to do for me.
"Keep talking." I said. I always find that masturbating while talking to him is incredibly fulfilling, better than when I'm on my own and I always reach orgasm, and it lasts longer, too. I can tell phone sex isn't his favorite thing to do, but he definitely enjoys the play and it's also a great way to get acquainted before sex.
Dirty Talk - Advanced
Now that you should hopefully have awakened your partner's libido, it is time to put on that final touch. Check out our Dirty Talk Basics guide (if you haven't already) first, then read on below to refine and enhance those skills. Keep in mind the basic guidelines; like deep breaths and sounds, your words should also be in sync with the rhythm you have just created. The inhale breath should almost always be heard by your partner and you should speak in the "sexy voice" on the exhale breath. Enunciate all your words to your best degree.
To begin you should focus on these following questions: Which of my partner's skills or attributes turn me on? How do they make me feel? How am I feeling right now? Dirty talking is mostly concerned with momentous sayings, so you should try to let your instinct carry you. If you feel that your partner is hot, call it as it is: "you are so hot!" If you feel that their touch makes your genitals quiver, say it: "Your touch makes my cock/pussy quiver." If you feel that you are very hard/wet, state it: "I'm so hard/wet right now."
However, a good rule of thumb is to avoid the word "because." You are not writing an essay question. This will avoid sounding dull and it will also add urgency. In a sense, you may be cramming a long portion of a sentence in an exhaling breath so this forces you to say it very quickly, which emphasizes that urge. For example: "You laying there naked makes my cock/pussy hard/wet because I find you to be so irresistible." You may be feeling this, but this is a bit long. Try separating the fragments with breaths. Long inhale, "You lying there naked," quick inhale "Makes my cock/pussy hard/wet" inhale "You're irresistible." This style sounds more natural than mechanical, which is the intention of good dirty talk.
Another added bonus of separating the sentence is that it allows you to think on the spot. You can simply state something with out wondering whether it's long enough, or why you feel that way. State the phrase, breathe, and add to it.
To turn up the dirty talking a bit, you should focus on this question: What do I want to happen to my partner or to me? Do not be intimidated. Think about things like foreplay, oral, anal, the use of toys, different positions, being spanked, etc. The answers to this question can be transformed into very naughty phrases. These are all within you, for only you know what you want. Ok, so you can cheat if you really need to: if you draw a complete blank, watching adult films for inspiration is always a possibility. Nevertheless, you should look deep within yourself and bare all your dirty fantasies. (Long inhale) "You just got out of the shower (couple of breaths), I just want to fuck you until you can't walk anymore (inhale), Cum/spray all over you (inhale) ... (quivering exhale/inhale), get you all dirty again."
After letting out some of your wants and desires, you may want to consider adding some more emphasis on certain subjects. One option is to add those initial sounds as previously mentioned. "Uh (inhale), I want to eat out your pussy/suck your dick (inhale), aah." Repetition is used to emphasize the importance of an action. "Pound me! (Long inhale). Come on (quick inhale), pound me! (Inhale), pound me harder!" You can also use adjectives and adverbs. "My nipples want your soft lips to slowly suck them and then bite them hard."
Using singular adjectives or adverbs can also be a relief from always hearing the combination of an adjective before a noun. Make sure to stress the last syllable in the word to create more of an impact. For example, the word "wet" should be pronounced as "wet-te." (Long inhale) "I love it when I/you push my/your cock so far into you/me (inhale), I feel it touching all your/my walls inside (inhale), warm (inhale), wet (inhale), moist (inhale), tight."
To avoid sounding redundant with vocabulary, attempt using metaphors, such as "I want to feel my/your essence leaking out of me." For a more aggressive touch, using cursing can be quite thrilling. Compare "You are such a great lay" to "Holy shit! You are such a great fucking lay!" Other examples are "Fucking bang me harder, bitch/bastard," "Fucking smack my God-damned ass," and "Jesus, it just feels so bloody good that I want to fucking cum all over you." Here you are able to speak louder because these phrases tend to be more aggressive.
Be sensitive to your partner's responses - some people may find it incredibly erotic (in the heat of the moment) to be referred to in an unusual (perhaps even degrading) way, such as a "my little whore" or "my dirty bastard", but others may be very offended. If you sense shock (or feel it yourself), then talk about it afterwards and re-assure each other that it is just 'play'. In any case (as with anything new) start off slowly, monitor the response - and adjust accordingly.
Role-playing can also be considered a section of dirty talk because even though you may be acting, there is massive dialogue. Role-playing basically concentrates on acting on your or your partner's fantasies. This tends to be more difficult because you need to fully understand your fantasies by knowing the role of both you and your partner. For example, you need to know if your partner ought to be dumb, wild, shy, mean, etc. An easy angle to start with is the dominant and submissive roles. You choose one of these roles while your partner must choose the opposing role or vice versa. The dominant figure tends to be more aggressive in their wants and desires. They must take charge: command and demand. "I am going to handcuff you to the bed, and you better not squeal." "Spread your legs now!" There are two sides of being submissive: the willing and the refusing. As a willing figure, you may decide to either solely perform the actions or perform with the purpose of liking them.
If you are a refusing figure, you may decide to perform the commands while begging for mercy or perform after intense threats. In a case you are finding that your partner is having difficulty taking on the role of a dominant figure, you can then ask defiant questions. "What are you going to do if I refuse to even kiss you, never mind suck your cock / eat out your pussy?" If the dominant partner is still not responding, then you answer the questions. "Will he/she smack me, or pin me down?" Here the submissive partner is offering material that the dominant partner would hopefully be able to work with. There are many situations where dirty talking can be used in role playing: nurse and her not-so-sick patient, the student begging for a better grade, a master and his slave, Cleopatra seducing Caesar, popular cheerleader with the average guy, etc. Remember that the trick to having a great role-playing session is to act out exactly what you crave as long as it is to a safe degree.
It is absolutely necessary to practice dirty talking with a partner that you are comfortable with. This will allow you to say exactly what you are striving for and in the end satisfy your wants and needs. Everyone has the potential of being a great dirty talker as long as you remember to work with your own instincts and try to be as natural as possible. The techniques and tips here are not etched in stone so feel free to add your personal style to them and to focus on your partner's feedback. Please keep in mind that practice makes perfect and that variety is the spice of life.
I've just started seeing someone new and I obviously want the relationship to last, but at the same time be *hot* and special. Between dates I like to dream up things I want to say to my man the next time I see him. When I see him next we'll enjoy a classy dinner and I always dress well for each date. This time I want to tell him on the street afterwards, as we are waiting to hail a cab...I'll pull him close from behind so my arms are around his chest and my mouth is hot on his neck and I can whisper..."You smell so nice....mmmm....I want to make you hard...make you cum...mmmmm?" Knowing him, he'll run onto the street and wave his arms at the cabs while I watch and bite my lip and imagine the hard on I've just given him. What works for me in dirty talk is being a bit coy but at the same time being explicit and do it completely out of the blue, right there on the street. He has the sensation of you right on his neck, you get to smell his scent, your husky voice and words will send shock waves.
Wow! I love dirty talk. Had the most amazing sex the other day for ages..would hate this outta the bedroom, but love being called a dirty little whore in the bedroom ;) Was an amazing night; as the guy was so dominant, and initiated it, so I completely opened up...I think he was a bit surprised..
...Just need a way to get the guy I am seeing to be a bit more kinky like this. He is great and makes me cum, but...well, I like to be kinky, but I'm not much of an initiator...any tips on how to get him into this?
Also, would a guys find it hot if the girl said..like how she wanted to be taken..? I want to change positions sometimes, but I'm not strong enough to make it happen, and too shy to ask .. :/ Wish he would threw me around the bedroom like my one night stand the other night :P ...or maybe I should just turn that night into a fuck buddy ..
Okay, so I'm a girl, 17 years old, and I've been with my current partner (he's been my only partner and I've been his only partner) for a year and two months about. We've done dirty talking, where he's told me what to say (yes we have a dominant and submissive thing going on where he's dominating) but he wants me to describe what it feels like to have him inside me...
I'd like to, but I'm not sure how to describe it or what words to use, any tips?
My man beggs me to talk dirty to him but i'm kinda shy about it. But when i start to talk dirty to him he will say something to rush me or that what i'm saying aint exactly what he wants and he'll turn me off
I have no problem talkin dirty but he don't kno what to say. What are some kinky things to say to a girl tht can help him talk dirty to me. I'd really like the help :)
I want to talk dirty to my bf but I get so nervous. I really don't know what to say. Sometimes he says weird stuff to me and it turns me on but I'm not sure how to respond. If he's acting abusive, which I do like, am I supposed to fight back or what? I'm lost
Just go with the moment. My bf is really in to the acting abusive kind of thing. I just go with what i feel at the moment. I usually fight back a little and my bf really enjoys that.
I am the talkative one while making love with my boyfriend, he is usually quiet and just breathes heavily. But it's a plus when he responds back. Talking dirty to him is what I love to do. I know it makes him smile big, especially when I emphasize on how much I love him moving inside me. The only time I don't really talk with words is when I am on bottom, where its just moaning and heavy breathing.
I think its a turn off when my guy uses the word "fuck" when he's talking about sex or making love...I think that word is for whores...which I am not. It might just be me. But I don't like that word when your talking to someone you love.
want to know what is really f**king annoying girls.
when your man says something like "f** your sexy" or "your so f**ing hot baby"
and you reply with somthing like: "ohhh I think i look fat at the moment" or "you really think so?"
I have actually had girls do this, like wtf? you serious we are about to do it and you just ruin it, just like that, all over for me. Such a turn off!
I completely agree. not so much with the last part but more about girls asking "you really think so" or calling themselves fat. If we say you are beautiful and hot we mean it
With my partner being a "dirty, little slut" especially when I tell her how good it feels when she "drags her wet tongue up my throbbing cock" and she usually asks me "FUCK ME HARDER, SIR, PLEASE!" Since she's a good little girl, I "give my little whore what she wants". When I reach my climax, I make sure to tell her what a "good little fucktoy" she's been.
It's kind of like playing Horny Mad Libs, haha. But yeah, talking dirty is a wonderful thing that can add to the passion levels in the room. Now if only my girlfriend and I could find those elusive "SINGLE BI CHICKS" I hear about, I'd be set.
My fb always wants to hear stories, and so I'll start off with us in some kinky place going at it. But mid way through she wants me to "add more people." So I bring in another couple, or another girl etc.. She gets really into it. Then she tells me to switch it up and tell her something I've done in the past and how hot it was. She orgasms SO much when I get these stories going.
Do you think this is a good or bad thing?
I love hearing a good dirty story from my fb about what he wants to do to me! He makes these sexual stories and he always makes me SOOOO HORNNYYY!! I love it! Anyone who loves sex should try!!........Its even better when i cant have it right away!! then we do it together its so hott! we'll praticlly ripe each others clothes off!
What is the top thing to say when talking dirty to men?
1. Tell him what you're wearing under your clothing.
2. Put on sexy lingerie and give him a tiny peek when he first sees you. It'll drive him mad to want to see more of your outfit all night...until you allow him to see more.
3. Leave him a voice message when he is away
4. at a gathering
5. at your parent's house when you go by him
6. right before parting for work
7. Email him some sassy notes
8. Fax it to him
9. Throw hot little texts on his cell phone while is at a sports game with his buddies
Damn this article just made me horny.
you might be so easy that you don't know what it means... here's the definition:
easy: a person who needs little persuasion to perform sex acts
then your easy
I love it when guys talk dirty to me. One of my biggest turn on's.
nice :)
Dirty talk is a great way to get your guy even hornier - a bit like teasing him a little. During forplay I tell my bf exactly what I want him to do to me, "I can't wait to feel your hard strong cock push into my hot wet cunt...", which makes him even more desperate too! It makes everything more fun when you've been anticipating it ;)
Dirty talk of this nature CAN be done outside sex, like a naughty text telling someone exactly which body parts are missing them... But I agree with guruguy when it comes to namecalling or dirty talk done in dominating role-play. I get a weird kick out of being called a whore, etc when my bf has me tied up and were having sex - but this trust in him to respect me, whilst dominating me, would end if the namecalling was taken outside of the sexual context. Hence I think abusive dirtytalk should def stay in the bedroom...
I want your, warm, wet pussy in my mouth, your hot sweaty body on top of me. Mmmm so horny
pitterpatter goes my heart - hot talking ;)
that's hot, very hot. Got any more?? ;)
haha bf and i use dirty talk... it's fun :D
but i read this and was like... wow... i do this already... lol
oh wow, dirty talk sounds like so much fun, ive never acually tried it but i would like to. haha just moaning really loud gets him off in seconds, i wonder how he will react when i talk dirty to him. ;)
im 13 and today i learned the most valueble thing...what love is about...well...to make a long story short...i have more affection to my gf...i learned bcuz i just sat in my parents car thinking...it works...i really miss my gf...i think ill go call her...maybe ill plan a date...or ill plan a meeting...dunno ride bikes together or sumthin...talk to her about stuff...i cant call her tho...dont got a phone...hell ill walk like 6 miles to talk to her...well...my ex wanted to screw like a nail to a board....well...prolly not the best place to put this cuz everyones talkin about dirty talking lmao...i guess i wanted to share with you all my fellings...and...yeah ur bored reading this...okay wood it stir it up if i said i wanted to f*** her hard? reply if so, lmaoooooooooo
hey Im 13 I havent even got a GF geez I want one though ask her if she wants to shag or something btw nice phrase "wanted to screw like a nail to a board" sounds errotic
ok, so I am only 16, and i've only had a hand full of partners, but here is something that has really been bothering me and I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight?
like any other kid my age i'd been looking forward to my first for a while, and when it finally happend, I was ready, and I cant really think of too many ways it could have gone better, I had had the concerns like what if im not big enough, what if i dont last long enough etc, when the time came i wsant concerned etc, anyways, getting to the point, I was recently with a new partner that I was not in a relationship with, getting used to the other persons preferences can take a lil adjusting etc, but I noticed something I never noticed before, and it seemed like she was faking
she was talking dirty, but feeding my ego, but the way she was doing it, made me angry almost, anyone else expirience this?
yea i think sometimes girls and guys also will try new things with new partners to try things out and in your case maybe the girl thought she could only orgasm using methods that might offend you, most likely it will stop once she realizes it's not to your liking
thanks but it was a one time thing, she's the same age as me, but has had older partners, i myself have only had a few partners, most of which were virgins, so i must say, she was really very good with things like ear nibbling, sensual kisses, lightling running her fingernails up my back, its the things she said, maybe I was being modest? maybe she was sincere? but that wouldn't be my first thought
if you don't mind me asking, what kinda shit was she saying.
i can't imagine any girl talking up to me and it making me angry.
I guess insincerity is just a pet peeve of mine, i don't mind you asking, it was just the usual compliments like you're so good at that, youre so big, not only the things she was saying, but like arching her back lifting her hips, over-selling it, i don't know, i understand it sounds strange that it made me [not angry] but a little upset and confused, it made me think im so bad she had to lie i guess, does that make sense?
umm just wondering but is it bad if my
boyfriend started calling me a whore when
we make love? i mean im only 16 and he is 19 and
im new at this but he isnt and im too scared to
tell him not to cuz i dont no what he would say
Thats WHORE-able... absolutly WHORE-afying
I call my man a callboy, if you know what i mean... and he calls me his callgirl.... hahahaha, and we would always laugh about it...
not in the least. my boyfriend loving calls me his "dirty little slut"
like the person before me said. my guy says it too. but totally in a joking way. like im his little whore. if he is saying it to be mean then yea it is bad and he is wrong.
My bf calls me his freaky little slut and he's my love slave. It turns me on so much when he calls me that.
It depends how he says it really. If he whispers it in your ear softly and sweetly then in my opinion it's okish. But it really depends on how you feel about it, if you don't mind it then I would leave it. But judging from what you've written I'd say you're not happy with it, in which case I think it is vital you talk to him about it. Just tell him sorry but you dont like it.
If he respects you and cares about you he'll stop :)
Good Luck
ok ok, I love dirty talk. I love to give and take it...but I am running out of fresh stuff. I use some play words like naughty, dirty, nasty, rotten (lol). I demand him to bang, ram, f*ck, slam my p*ssy, c*nt, tw*t, *ss... I love yelling F****CCCCKKKKK MMMEEEE HARDER!!!! I love the C word. I ask him if IT is good or tight enough for him. I tell him I love, like, want his fat, pulsating, throbing, veiny, hard, big, large, D*ck, c*ck, penis. I love telling him to slap or spank my *ss. Pull my hair. Grab my hips, shoulders or ankles. I am running out of ideas - PLEASE help me - what do you like getting said to you or told to do???
maybe you would like him to call you foul dirty names i have found namecalling to be very erotic or vice versa u can call him names i hope this helps also try it over the phone and act it out later
My girlfriend and I have been sexually active for a couple months now, her and I just started to talk dirty to each other. and ive just got to say, nothing gets/keeps me harder than her talking dirty to me/ the noises she makes.
Nothing gets me off more than hearing my woman make a really hot groan or moan or any number of other noises a woman makes when in the throes of passion. Dirty talk gets thrown in every now and again, but I enjoy hearing the sexy noise more.
my bf says that to me too, he loves hearing me moan. last valentine's day i gave him a card with voice recorder and moaned very sweetly... he was so happy, he plays it over and over, he's a professional boxer so it is very seldom he hears it and looks forward to hearing it after every fight... he said that the most important thing for him is to leave me satisfied... because i always leave him satisfied and much more...
I must agree with the other posters. Dirty talk adds another level of erotic passion. Sex is not just about pleasuring the body. For me, it allows my mind to enjoy more of what my body feels. With my mind more in tune it makes what my body feels even better.
When I'm talking dirty to my partner, I want to bring his mind to where mine is. It enhances the connection you have. It also allows you to indulge in those naughty fantasies that you might not otherwise indulge in.
Since your exploring fantasies, I cannot stress enough that you have to really trust the person. That they're not gonna judge. Not only that, but talk about your fantasies before you get kinky that way they can tell you if they feel comfortable with it. Not only should you trust them but they should actualy be trustworthy. I'm not ashamed of my fantasies but they're mine and they're private. It would be aweful if some of the things I've said in the bedroom with my partner didn't stay there.
It's also important to have a "safe word". A word that is totally out of context but if said the other person knows to stop.

Members of Congress and the Administration seem to agree on what manufacturers have long known: enhancing investment in research and development, or R&D, drives economic growth. But that growth cannot be sustained without a permanent R&D incentive.
The uncertainty of an on-again, off-again tax credit upends the innovation, new product development and job creation that manufacturers contribute to the economy. When there is no telling whether the incentive would be around for the entire length of a manufacturer's R&D project, investment in the U.S. manufacturing base suffers. A JP Morgan Chase report released in August found that private spending on R&D slowed to 2.4 percent in 2013. We cannot allow investment to tumble any further. With the credit set to expire for the sixteenth time at the end of the year, that outcome becomes increasingly possible.
That's why the NAM is advocating a permanent and strengthened R&D incentive as one of our priorities for comprehensive, pro-growth tax reform. The United States has been a leader in promoting R&D for over 30 years, but more and more countries have provided greater certainty for businesses in recent years by enacting permanent—and more generous—R&D incentives. A strong and permanent R&D credit will allow the United States to remain competitive in the global race for R&D investment dollars, particularly as manufacturers are courted by other countries with more generous and more stable R&D tax incentives and lower corporate tax rates.
The certainty provided by a strengthened, permanent R&D incentive would enhance its incentive value and help ensure the United States' leadership in global innovation.
Christina Crooks is the director of tax policy for the National Association of Manufacturers.

To a car driver deprived of his view of the road ahead, an SUV hogging the left lane is hardly a welcome sight. The longer it sits there, the more deeply the car driver ponders its often wasteful bulk, its appetite for gasoline and how brilliant it would be to confine these bloated conveyances to their own clogged stream over there on the far right. Who could possibly love an SUV?

This study prospectively compared the 2-year outcome of children diagnosed with autism or Asperger syndrome at age 6–8 years in terms of symptoms from the Autism Diagnostic Interview. Significant differences were seen in the three-domain summary scores of social interaction, communication, and repetitive activities, with the Asperger syndrome group demonstrating fewer and/or less severe symptoms at both times. There was a trend for the trajectories to come together over time on the socialization and communication domains, but not the repetitive activities domain. Differences were not attributable to IQ. Analysis of individual items indicated that the autism group improved over time on seven items and showed increased symptom severity on three items. On the other hand, the Asperger syndrome group improved on only two items and showed increased symptom severity on six items. Results suggest that the two PDD subtypes represent similar developmental trajectories, although the Asperger syndrome group maintains its advantage. Educational and clinical implications of the results are discussed.

Bad Homiletical Models of Expository Preaching
from Derek Thomas Mar 02, 2015 Category: Articles
Despite the many books on preaching, bad homiletical models of expository preaching still exist. They come from various sources and are influenced by a variety of factors. Often it is not the model itself that is at fault, but the use made of it. They include: 1. The Puritans With ... Keep Reading
Doctrine of the Person of Christ: Recommended Reading
from Keith Mathison Mar 15, 2010 Category: Articles
When Jesus brought the disciples to Caesarea Philippi, he asked them, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" This question was important, not only for the first disciples, but for all mankind. The early church sought to understand how those biblical texts that taught the Jesus is God were to be reconciled with those texts that taught that Jesus is fully human. Theologians have been wrestling with this and related issues for millennia. Keep Reading -
Stunting Worship
from R.C. Sproul Mar 14, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
The visual impact of the furnishings and the buildings of both the Old Testament tabernacle and temple was awesome. The eyes were dazzled with a sense of the splendor of God. Sound was vital to Old Testament worship. The choral compositions of the Psalms were moving to the Spirit. They were accompanied by the full harmony and rhythm supplied by the harp, the lyre, the flute, and trumpets. The piano and the organ are marvelous instruments, but they cannot produce the sounds that the other instruments provide. Hymns and choral anthems are greatly enhanced when they are supported with greater orchestration. Keep Reading -
Becoming a Worshiper of God
from R.C. Sproul Mar 13, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
"Church is boring"—this is the most oft-stated reason why people stay away from church. It raises some important questions. How is it possible that an encounter with a majestic, awesome, living God could ever be considered boring by anyone? God is not dull. If worship is boring to us, it is not because God is boring. Sermons can be boring and liturgies can be boring, but God simply cannot be boring. The problem, I think, is with the setting, the style, and the content of our worship. Keep Reading -
The Christian Club
from W. Robert Godfrey Mar 12, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
Many American churches are in a mess. Theologically they are indifferent, confused, or dangerously wrong. Liturgically they are the captives of superficial fads. Morally they live lives indistinguishable from the world. They often have a lot of people, money, and activities. But are they really churches, or have they degenerated into peculiar clubs?

The Ascension
from R.C. Sproul Mar 11, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
These men had spent three years in a state of unspeakable joy. They had witnessed what no human beings before them had ever seen in the entire course of history. Their eyes peered openly at things angels themselves longed to look into but were unable. Their ears heard what ancient saints had a fierce desire to hear with their own ears. These men were the disciples of Jesus of Nazareth. They were His students. They were His companions. Where He went, they went. What He said, they heard. What He did, they saw with their own eyes. These were the original eyewitnesses of the earthly ministry of the Son of God. Keep Reading -
Daily Study with Robert Murray M'Cheyne
from Jeremy Smith Mar 10, 2010 Category: Articles
Of all the wonderful plans to read through the Bible in a year (and there are ample varieties from which to choose), perhaps none is as enduring and well known around the world as the calendar published by the late, great Scottish minister, Robert Murray M'Cheyne (1813–1843), who served as pastor of St. Peter's Church in Dundee, Scotland, until his death at the age of 29.

There is the gospel in its glory, or rather in His (Christ's) glory. Strictly speaking, you see, justification is not even by faith alone—it is by Christ alone. What is meant by saying sola fide (by faith alone) is not that our God-given faith can save (where works cannot), but that faith unites with Christ who alone saves. Sola fide = solo Christo! The faith, because it unites with Christ, justifies immediately by virtue of that union. Though works operate at the same time that faith does (the plus sign refers to distinction, not separation), they are placed after justification because they contribute nothing to justification. It is Rome's placing works before justification that destroys justification and makes it even impossible. Keep Reading -

from Karisa Schlehr Mar 08, 2010 Category: Ligonier Resources
One of Dr. Sproul's main goals and missions over the years is for Christians to understand who God is and be able to defend their faith by knowing what they believe and why they believe it. Several years ago, Focus on the Family introduced a very popular DVD-based small group curriculum called The Truth Project. In 2009, a new DVD-based apologetics curriculum was released called TrueU, this time geared for students ages 15-22. Dr. Stephen Meyer is the host of that new series and Dr. Sproul recently sat down with him in our studios to talk about it. Keep Reading -

Nora's language ability has veered mildly towards Spanish lately. For a while now she would only converse with me in English, but now she will sometimes switch to Spanish if she doesn't know how to say the phrase in English, or if she just forgets. I dutifully respond, "You mean, 'blah blah blah'?" translating what she just said into English, and she repeats it and goes acquiring new English words like this.

Seriously, my dreams of late especially are really on about that. Even the subconscious meanings of my dreams are sexual (if you believe in that sort of thing). Take for example last nights dream that involved the girl that I kinda sorta like, I mean I like her but she's married and has kids so it's very um...complicated and not the ideal crush situation...but nonetheless I like her. In the dream she and some of my other classmates were invited over to my house for this like party/sleepover (totally weird considering I'm 21, lol) and we were all having fun like we were kids again and my nephew and a friend of ours was there and we were all playing outside (can't remember exactly what we were doing, but it was fun!).
Anyways, it was getting late so I headed inside and went into my bedroom to find the girl I like sleeping in my bed (I liked this btw ;). So, I'm thinking about what I should do...then I decided that I should go take a shower first because I was self-conscious of my hair because in the dream it was greasy and dirty. So, I'm grabbing some clean clothes from my dresser when she puts her head up and looks at me and I said "Can't sleep?" and she says "yeah". Anyways...I run off to have a quick shower but by the time I get back she's left and her dad is downstairs talking to my dad for some reason. I ask her dad where's where she is and he tells me she's left and gone home...and then I'm kinda disappointed and mad at myself that I didn't just get into the bed with her just to be near her and get to know her...I don't know, it's hard to explain what I'm feeling in my dreams...they tend to be pretty deep and realistic.
When I checked out this dream meaning website (http://www.dreammoods.com/) These are what I got when I looked up some of the things I saw in my dream:
To notice or buy bedspread in your dream, represents your open sexuality and outward beauty. The design and look of the bedspread may be a clue as to what you are looking for sexually.
To dream that you are in the bedroom, signifies aspects of your self that you keep private. It is also indicative of your sexual nature and intimate relations.
To see your bed in your dream, represents your intimate self and discovery of your sexuality. You may be looking for domestic bliss, for peace or for some form of escape. Consider the condition of the bed. If the bed is unmade, then it indicates that certain secrets will soon be exposed or revealed.
It's all sex sex sex! lol. I'm sorry I just find this really funny. I wonder if it's true that your dreams really have subconscious meanings. But it makes it increasingly hard when your crush and the girl you're dreaming about is straight (okay, she could be bi for all I know), married, and has 3 kids
Yeah! its true that every person have its own dream through its own perspective which mean according to his life, so when I saw a dream which is common in this world so I check out the dream dictionary for my dream mean which is common at all.

Veterans Program Office
On November 9, 2009, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13518, Employment of Veterans in the Federal Government, which establishes the Veterans Employment Initiative. The Initiative is a strategic approach to helping the men and women who have served our country in the military find employment in the Federal Government.
The Executive Order states the Federal Government will thereby help lead by example in promoting veterans' employment. One of the leadership strategies calls on administration officials to "create advocates for veterans' employment within each federal agency." All 24 agencies covered by the order have established a Veterans Employment Program. You may contact the FEMA Program Manager, JoAnn Way, at email@example.com.
Veterans Outreach Resources
- FedsHireVets.gov — provides information about the Veterans Employment Initiative, a White House initiative that underscores to federal agencies the importance of recruiting and training veterans, aims to increase the employment of veterans within the Executive Branch, and helps recently hired veterans adjust to service in a civilian capacity.
- O*Net Online (Occupational Information Network) — matches your military experience to civilian occupation codes.
- Department of Veterans Affairs — gets veterans the services they have earned.
- Veterans Employment and Training Center (Department of Labor) — provides veterans and transitioning service members with the resources and services such as transition and employment services (TAP) and Compliance Assistance for Employment disputes to succeed in the 21st century workforce by maximizing their employment opportunities, protecting their employment rights and meeting labor-market demands with qualified veterans today.
Searching/Applying for a Federal Job
Searching for a Federal Job
All federal jobs are posted on USAJobs. Use the advanced search options on USAJobs to expand or refine your search for homeland security careers. To view all jobs open to veterans, select "Yes" under "Applicant Eligibility" at the bottom of the search screen.
OPM has prepared a Federal Jobs by College Major table that provides a list of comparable federal occupations to various college degrees. Veterans can then use the skills or occupational series search function to find emergency management opportunities that relate to their education.
Applying for a Federal Job
Once a veteran has identified the job(s) they would like to apply for, they should click on the job, review the duties and qualification requirements, and note any specialized experience that may be required. If qualified for the job, the veteran should click "Apply Online." During the application process, veterans may be asked to identify Veterans Preference status. Refer to the Determining Veterans Preference section below.
Apply and upload all required supporting documentation. Note: failure to upload all required documentation may result in your application being denied.
Determining Veterans Preference
Special consideration is given to qualified veterans, known as Veterans' Preference.
Not all veterans are entitled to it. Typically, veterans must have served on active duty for at least two years during a period of war, be disabled, or meet other criteria. Veterans Preference does not guarantee a job.
Under Derived Preference, certain eligible spouses, widows/widowers, or mothers of a veteran may be able to claim Veterans Preference when the veteran is unable. Agencies may also appoint a military spouse without competition under the Military Spouse Appointing Authority.
There are also a number of special hiring preferences, such as Veterans' Recruitment Appointment (VRA), 30% or More Disabled Veteran, and the Veterans Employment Opportunity Act (VEOA).
The Veterans' Preference Advisor is a tool that assists veterans in determining Veterans Preference eligibility through a series of questions. Veterans should note their preference points for use in the application process.\
Veterans Preference Contact
Any questions about veterans' employment that have not been sufficiently addressed on this page should be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please do not send your DD214 or similar documents.
Disabled Veterans Programs
Wounded Warriors
FEMA gives jobs to Wounded Warriors (disabled veterans) through the Schedule A direct hiring authority.

Stars of Slapstick # 77: Sydney Chaplin
Today is the birthday of Sydney Chaplin (1885-1965). As the elder half-brother of Charlie Chaplin, the world owes him much. Not only was he the person responsible for introducing Charlie to Fred Karno and getting him hired by that influential music hall impresario, he was later Charlie's manager and negotiated amazing deals that allowed his young brother to create the works of genius we still cherish to this day. But more than this, Sydney, was a talented comedy star in his own right. His "Gussle" comedies for Mack Sennett were hugely popular, notably A Submarine Pirate, one of the top films of 1915, and Sennett's 2nd biggest grossing film after Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914). Sydney Chaplin also had many other hit films, including the first cinematic verison of the Broadway hit Charley's Aunt (1925) and The Better Ole (1926). And, he was also a valued member of Charlie's stock company during the First National years, with memorable turns in A Dog's Life, Shoulder Arms, Pay Day and The Pilgrim.
Now here he is one of his early Keystones, Gussle the Golfer:

I have been through your book "Recording Music On Location" several times. I have a question in preparation for purchasing some microphones. You could also try a pair of CM-700 cardioid mics in an ORTF arrangement (angled 110 degrees apart, spaced 7 inches horizontally) or NOS arrangement (angled 90 degrees apart, spaced 12 inches apart).

Using what its creators call Reflective Artificial intelligence, Osmo reflects the iPad's camera in a way that, with the help of software, lets it recognize physical game pieces and other objects to make physical interactions part of the experience. For example, on Osmo game challenges you to spell out the name of what you see on the screen (e.g. a horse) by tossing letter tiles in front of the iPad).
"Our vision is we want to create apps based on actual reality rather than virtual reality," Pramod Sharma, CEO and co-founder of Osmo creator Tangible Play, told TabTimes during a demo. "And part of this is that using the iPad doesn't have to be an isolated experience; we're creating social interactions that bring kids together to solve problems."
So far the stealth Silicon Valley startup has had a hundred schools in six countries test the product. The well-designed package consists of the camera piece that connects to the top of the iPad and a stand that keeps the iPad upright. Osmo ships with three games, Newton, Tangram and Words, and Sharma says there are 10 more on the way.
With Newton you build structures using pen and paper that become part of the onscreen game; Tangram uses traditional tangram wooden pieces to solve puzzles that cause the onscreen game to light up revealing a map and more challenging puzzles; Words shows pictures as word clues. Players try and figure out the word by tossing letter tiles in front of the iPad screen. Two or more players or teams can take turns to see who gets the answer first.
Sharma says the design goal was to make to the product attractive and very consumer friendly with an "Apple quality experience." While declining to elaborate he said people at Apple "have helped us a lot."
Osmo will ship with three games designed for ages 6 to 12 and Tangible Play has launched a crowd funding campaign at its website. Early supporters will be able to get the Osmo for $49, far less than the 'regular' price of $99.

I often feel guilty browsing the Mac site and wondering if I trully belong here, but have no where else to vent my thoughts and frustations at a condition cancer that isn't a cancer - if that makes any sense - given that the tumor's are agressive and invasive; can recur; but the big plus is that do not spread; and certainly where mine was located, is not life threatening. So before I proceed I apologise in advance if you feel I shouldn't be blogging here, simply press your 'Back' button and browse to the next blog post.
My recovery is going well, but I am so inpatient and can't wait to be up and about and getting on with life - quite literally I want to run before I can walk! After I'd overcome the vertigo and became stonger on my feet I was getting up and about a bit more (just around the house) but this caused increased swelling and pain; but I talked sense into myself stopped getting dressed in the morning and have had two duvet days with some great DVDs. I'm feeling the benefits already as there's only a small amount of swelling now and I've been able to cut back on the pain killers too. So I've presecribed two more days of the same, which may seem extremely indulgent, but I have the most wonderful and supportive husband who's happy to keep everything ticking over and children amused - as long as I don't boss (not easy for me).
My appointment on Tuesday went very well and the scar (although long) looks very tidy and is healing well. He feels that the tumor has been removed completely and he should have the final results back from histology next week, and will write to me confirming this as he doesn't think the original diagnosis to change. In relation to the future, recurrence of these tumors are common but given that they are rare it's difficult to say when they will or will not recur so it's 50/50.
Therefore he's suggesting that there won't be routine screening but if at any time I feel a lump then we can investigate it at that point. I think I am happy with this action plan but have decided that as he is an orthopaedic surgeon, not oncology, I'll discuss with my GP and see whether he agrees. I don't think I want to pursue another action, i.e. referral to oncoloy unless it recurs (which it still may not!). I think not least because the prognosis and treatment is not going to change at this stage, although in the US I know with recurrent tumors radio, chemo and/or hormone therapy has been used to manage them.
Other than that I've decided as soon as I can (probably another 4 weeks) I'll book some physiotherapy to build up the muscles this beast of a tumor destoyed followed by getting back into my normal exercise routines. I'm really missing the simple plesaures of walks along the shore in the sunshine, running club and zumba.
So thank you for sticking with me, tonight I'm simply putting my thoughts into writing - I may be able to get off to sleep now! I truly appreciate all the support I've had from my Mac pals here, I only hope you don't mind my interloping when many of your conditions are truly life limiting / threatening yet you have proved so generous with your time and kind words of advice and encouragement.
Thank you. Sian x
Another milestone on this journey has now been reached as my tumor was removed last Tuesday. The surgery took a little longer than they'd hoped due to adhesions in some areas; the areas around the the blood vesels were particularly tricky as it began to break apart and it had reached the sciatic nerve too which prolonged things a little. Certainly my main question at my post op appt tomorrow is whether they actually mangaged to remove it all as I wasn't confident given their description and was too 'whoozy' imediately after the surgery to ask then.
Despite being booked in for up to 3 nights, I fortunately only needed to stay one in the end which has been nicer for my family as it's a good 40 min drive to the hospital (each way) and it meant I got more sleep at night! The pain's not too bad as long as I take my various meds on time - separating them out to ensure I have a good coverage during my waking hours - paracetemol, diclofenic, tramadol. And as long as I don't do anything more than 'pottering' during the day then it doesn't get too sore, which is helped by the fact that any longer a couple of minutes on my feet causes me to feel dizzy and nauseous still - I think this is question number 2 for tomorrow!
It's nice to see the sun outside again but my 'classy' T.E.D.s make me feel particularly hot and sweaty and given that I developed a DVT last time I had orthopaedic surgery I daren't risk going against medical advice and stop wearing them too soon - especially as I have my daily dose of Clexane to remind me of why.
Trying to avoid sleeping during the day, so that I continue to sleep well at night but around 4pm I reach a stage where my body absolutely refuses to stay awake whatever I try and fall into a really deep sleep. I think today I'll smply go with the flow but set my alarm so that I don't sleep later than 5pm. I'm trying to keep my brain active (and positive) by keeping myself busy with a variety of things like reading, writing, puzzles, TV but find I don't have the attention span for doing anything for too long!
Oh well, I know all I need is time to let my body recover from the anaesthetic and the surgery itself, but I'm a very inpatient patient!
Other questions for tomorrow:
Despite the rain - and there was a lot of it - me and a few hundred others (maybe more) turned up in Winchester for the Race for Life; and it was amazing. My wonderful husband and kids got kitted out in full wet weather gear to be able to cheer me along. I ran all but 2 mins and finished (with a sprint) in 34 minutes 23 seconds (a PB by almost 2 mins). When the going got tough I made a mantra in my head of all my wonderful friends and families who have battled cancer, including all of you guys here - so thank you for your tremendous support, even if you didn't know you were giving it. As I sprinted to the finish line over it I felt a huge sense of emotion, a sense of achievement and satisfaction for many reasons.
So this afternoon I've enjoyed a very lazy afternoon on the sofa because during this next week I have a tremendous amount to get done before my operation on the 21st. In between work and family things I've squeezed in a few things for myself including a night out with my friends.
Yet this afternoon reality has also hit, in a large way as to why I chose to run the Race for Life. My nan hasn't been well over the last few weeks, and following initial blood tests there are anomalies which would indicate cancer maybe of the cervix, bowel or bladder (not sure if that meant one or combination). But even she says at 85yrs there's always something wrong with you! I love her dearly and she knows we'll be there with her every step of the way whichever way that battle will go. We'll know more when she's had further tests later this week.
Well Dr's confident about how to proceed in removing the mass. It's not near any major blood vessels and has well defined margins. He talked about the possibility it could grow back so will need follow-up MRIs in the future to monitor it and as time passes the likelihood for regrowth will decrease.
Some Drs have previously tried to reduce the potential for regrowth with wide area excisions, chemo and radiotherapy but it's proved inconclusive about whether this would actually make a difference or not. However his feeling is that it either will grow back or it won't and as it's benign in nature, i.e. only grows locally and won't spread, it would be a nuisance but is not life threatening, so will escape more invasive procedures to battle 'my beast'.
Planning surgery for four weeks time, with time to get things in order at work, run the Race for Life (12th June) and plan my daughters 8th birthday & party. Will need a 3-4 days in hospital and then home for R&R for a few weeks off - hope the sun shines!
Thank you to everyone here for sharing in my journey and providing me with comfort, knowledge and support in those first few terrifying and uncertain weeks; but I am pleased to share my positive story that it may offer hope for someone else should they find themselves in the same position as I was four weeks ago.
In the last hour I've felt such an enormous sense of relief - I hadn't apprecitated how much stress had built up over the last four weeks. After my walk yesterday I called the Dr's secretary who confirmed my results were in but as he was in theatre for the rest of the afternoon was unlikely to call me before Tuesday. So one more restless night and a long morning but I eventually received his call just before 1pm.
The tumor is benign - of which he is confident - called a fibromatosis, which more commonly develops in the abdominal area, but mine has grown in the muscle over my left hip - possibly related to my previous hip surgery (I have hip dysplasia). It needs to be removed as will continue to grow. Even excised there is a possibility that it could grow again in the same region. He couldn't reiterate enough that it was benign and not cancerous and therefore not life threatening.
He's now going to look at all the data and decide whether he can excise it himself or if he should refer me to someone with greater experience in dealing with tumors of this nature. So I will be seeing him Thursday morning to go through the detail and plan the next steps.
Just spent the last hour calling, texting, emailing and facebooking my wonderful friends and neighbours who have been so supportive over the last few weeks. Thank you to everyone here too, who has been sharing in my journey and have offered, love, hugs, thoughts and/or prayers - they have always been greatly appreciated and received.
