DID YOU EVER NOTICE, YOU CAN BE GOING ALONG HAPPIER THEN YOU HAVE BEEN IN YEARS, AND ONE TRIP TO THE DOCTORS CHANGES YOUR WHOLE ATTITUDE ON EVERYTHING?
I SPENT A FEW DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND THEY FOUND SOMETHING I DID NOT KNOW I HAD. LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE RHEUMATIC FEVER, MAKE SURE YOUR DOCTOR KEEPS AN EYE ON YOUR HEART, ESPECIALLY THE VALVES. MY LATE SISTER AND I BOTH HAD RHEUMATIC FEVER WHEN WE WERE KIDS. HER'S WAS WORSE THAN MINE AND WE KNEW EARLY ON IT HAD DAMAGED HER HEART, BUT I THOUGHT I WAS LUCKY, BECAUSE NOTHING HAD EVER SHOWN UP CONNECTING MY HEART TO RHEUMATIC FEVER, UNTIL THIS LAST HOSPITAL STAY. IT IS NOT GOOD AND I WILL MOST LIKELY NEED SOME KIND OF SURGERY TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE A LOT OF TESTS TO RUN FIRST. I FOUND OUT TODAY FROM A VIDEO I FOUND ON LINE THAT NOT ONLY CAN IT HAVE CAUSED THIS VALUE PROBLEM, BUT THE VALUE PROBLEM MAY BE A FACTOR IN THE AFIB ADN AREAL FLUTTER I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH. MY EMOTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE. I JUST SNAPPED AT MY B/F FOR SOMETHING SO STUPID. UNTIL THEY DECIDE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO, I ANTICIPATE MY MOODS BEING BAD. IT SI A LOT TO DEAL WITH. WHEN I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, I WAS HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING, BUT I DID NOT THINK IT WAS ANYTHING SERIOUS. I HAVE MANY ALLERGIES AND THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A BAD YEAR FOR THEM. i THOUGHT I WOULD GO UP THEY WOULD GIVE ME SOMETHING FOR THE ALLERGIES AND SEND ME HOME. BOY WAS I WRONG! WHAT STARTED AS A 24 HR OBSERVATION ENDED UP A 4-DAY STAY WITH A CHEST X RAY , A CT SCAN, AND AN ECHO CARDIOGRAM. IT WAS THE LATTER THAT SHOWED THE HEART MURMUR AND THE VALVE PROBLEM. THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT DECIDED THE BEST TREATMENT YET. I THINK THAT IS WHY I AM SO ON EDGE. SOMETHING WILL NEED DONE, OR IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DIE FROM IT IN 2 YEARS. I WILL PROB DO AS THEY SAY, BUT THIS KINDA KNOCKS ME WANTING TO LIVE TO BE 100 OFF THE TABLE.

Just diagnosed with lung cancer. All I need is a bunch of prayer warriors to pray for me and help me make it through this. Thanks and God Bless.????????????

NOTHING MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL HOTTER AND FASTER THEN SOMEONE LIEING ON ME. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY SOMEONE THAT HAS ALWAYS HATED ME HAS BEEN LIEING ON ME. THE INTERESTING PART OF THIS IS THAT THOSE LIES CREATED INSIDE THAT PERSON'S DEMEMTED MIND WERE USED AS JUSTIFICATION FOR DOING SOMETHING TO ME THAT WAS WRONG AND UNFAIR.
IT WILL ALL WORK OUT IN THE END THOUGH CAUSE KARMA IS THE GREAT EQUILIZER. LOL AND IT MAY TAKE A BIT BUT IT GETS EVERYONE WHO DOES BAD THINGS IN THE END. SO I AM JUST GONNA SIT BACK AND WATCH AND WAIT FOR KARMA TO LAY THE SMACK DOWN ON THE LIAR.

WOMAN SHOT IN THE HEAD Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of Minnesota, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby super-market to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the car running and the windows rolled up. Her eyes closed with both hands behind the back of her head. He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay; Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour (at least it seemed that way to her, it actually had been 15 minutes, she blamed the inability to tell time on her head injury).The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to move her hands. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. From the back seat a biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered. Linda is blonde, a Democrat, and a Biden supporter; but that could all be a coincidence. The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and it was determined to be Trump's fault.~~ If you read all of this you have been cooped up in your house to long. You need to get some sunshine.~~ If you laughed, like I did, share with your friends.

I recently became aware of a new global alliance, BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, Iran, China.
Thanks to we the consumers, cheap goods manufactured in China have brought never-before wealth to that country. With our wallets, it's increasingly apparent that we're funding our next World War -- and our elected and appointed representatives have assisted in the process.
Those cheap goods fund the war in Ukraine. They fund the acquisition of natural resources around the world, often to the complete exclusion of the countries in which those resources are found. Like your expensive cell phone (which was also manufactured for less than 1 cent on the dollar in China)? That battery, and the ones in electric cars which our governments are attempting to jam down our throats, contains lithium, an extremely limited natural resource that is controlled almost exclusively by China. Stores of lithium are to be found in other countries, but environmentalists have made sure that they can't be extracted -- which is all well and good as long as China doesn't become offended by any of us.
Worried about Putin's threats of atomic warfare? During Hilary Clinton's time as Secretary of State -- a job which she apparently qualified for by being the putative wife of a former US President -- she was responsible for giving rights to American uranium to Russia. Now there was a great idea.... Angela Merkel created Europe's dependence on the Russian energy supplies and lined her own pockets doing it.
Iran and Brazil seem to be part of this alliance largely for China to establish global beachheads in the Arab world and South America.
Please -- if you can read this -- FIGHT BACK. Stop buying Chinese manufactured goods. Demand that your governments onshore their natural resources and their manufacturing capabilities. In the meantime, buy goods from countries that align with your own national interests. Europe, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, South Korea and the United States, just to throw out a few names. When you go to make a major purchase (appliances, cars, etc.), demand to be told why you can't find one entirely manufactured in your own country -- from parts sourced in your own country.
As "the little people," it's our only way to fight back -- and as a bonus, it will created thousands of high-paying jobs for our own citizenries. If our governments won't protect our national interests, we have to.....

Anyone that knows me knows I have an obsessive personality. I get that it bugs some people when I obsess about things. They love to tell me to stop, but they never tell me how. When I ask them how to stop, they say, just do it. Really? Just do it, Is that the best you have to offer. Do they not get if it were as easy for me as to JUST DO IT I would have stopped obsessing decades ago? I do not think they get it. The obsessing about things is part of my genetic make up, and can not just be turned off like a switch. In time, I can move past that obsession, but it is usually replaced by another one. If those that say not to obsess have any real advice on HOW to stop it, I would love to hear it. However, if you do not have any more idea how to not obsess then I do please keep your opinions to yourself. It is not productive to say stop and not offer a means to do so, and at times it may come off as you do not like me, and you are just being picky to make me feel bad.

I got a call yesterday from a friend or mine. She told me she was in rehab because she had fractured her hip. She asked me to go and tell the head admin of the league she was staff in what had happened, and to ask to be put on vacation. She was frightened she would be kicked from the league if she was not there and they did not have her on vacation. I tried to reassure her that would not happen, because she could physically not be there. But she was so upset i agreed todo as she asked. I went to the room and announced in the lobby what she had told me to tell them. My friend then said I should give her phone number to the head admin. I was not putting that in an open lobby, so I pmed the head admin , but she never replied. So I asked in the lobby for her to please look at the pm.
It was then that things got ugly. The head admin said she did not want to hear anything from me. This shocked me. I am trying to help one of her head tournament directors, and she does not want to know that the htd wanted her to know. As soon as the head admin spoke meanly to me some of her minions decided to join in the attack. The odd part is they had not said anything mean to me until the head admin did. Kind of reminded me of a movie I once saw about a wolf pack. The wolf pack was lead by a female wolf, and they all attacked when she gives the signal. It also reminded me of one of those kill the messenger things, but if they think their messed up attitude to me will EVER stop me from doing a favor for a hurt friend they got another think coming. My friends mean way more to me then their childish attitudes.

you admins how much do the cheaters pay you guys to not ban them i played i lvl 16 that played better than world class players dont tell me they arent cheating, doesnt matter though in 68k more i wont be back until you admins get off your asses an ban these idiots

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot

Are you confused? Can you never seem to find a path or purpose in life? Does it seem like someone has turned out the lights and you cannot find the switch? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus proclaimed, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).

Do you ever feel like you are locked out of life? Have you tried so many doors, only to find that what is behind them is empty and meaningless? Are you looking for an entrance into a fulfilling life? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus declared, “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture” (John 10:9).

Do other people always let you down? Have your relationships been shallow and empty? Does it seem like everyone is trying to take advantage of you? If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” (John 10:11, 14).

Do you wonder what happens after this life? Are you tired of living your life for things that only rot or rust? Do you sometimes doubt whether life has any meaning? Do you want to live after you die? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus declared, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25-26).

What is the way? What is the truth? What is the life? Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

The hunger that you feel is a spiritual hunger, and can only be filled by Jesus. Jesus is the only one who can lift the darkness. Jesus is the door to a satisfying life. Jesus is the friend and shepherd that you have been looking for. Jesus is the life—in this world and the next. Jesus is the way of salvation!

The reason you feel hungry, the reason you seem to be lost in darkness, the reason you cannot find meaning in life, is that you are separated from God. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned, and are therefore separated from God (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23). The void you feel in your heart is God missing from your life. We were created to have a relationship with God. Because of our sin, we are separated from that relationship. Even worse, our sin will cause us to be separated from God for all of eternity, in this life and the next (Romans 6:23; John 3:36).

How can this problem be solved? Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins, all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die—a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
