When we ran out of milk last week, my son bought 2 milk boxes from a convenience store. I commented that they weren't tummy friendly and the following day my son bought 7 boxes of tummy friendly milk. The milk from the convenience store has a new packaging. I thought it was kind of cute and eco friendlier since it is very easy to cut, wash and dry for recycling purposes. The downside is, the new package is only 900 ml. While the old package is 1000 ml. Really sign of the times!

Apr. 10, 2022 - Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick weighs in on the consequences of the border crisis.

Watch:

I'm sorry to state this but these two high-profile murders of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, and Eric Garner in New York City, NY, has transformed our country into a divided "racial combat zone";I hate to
see what lies in store for the spring/summer of 2015 if nothing is done at the state or federal level to put those two killer cops on the "hot seat"and pay for their misdeeds!

In our lives some of us did the best we can
to save one's relationship but their is
always a reason why things happen...
:confused


Are we ready to go or stay?

“A liberal’s paradise" would be a place where everybody has

.. guaranteed employment,
.. free comprehensive healthcare,
.. free education,
.. free food,
.. free housing,
.. free clothing
.. free utilities
.. and only law enforcement has guns.

And believe it or not, such a place does indeed already exist in the USA:

It's called Prison

I was reading the Popular Science magazine, December 2014 issue, and with a jaw dropping bold letters reads like this:



COULD DRUGS HEAL A BROKEN HEART?



The author Jessica Hullinger documented a research by an Australian psychologist at the University of Sydney Adam Guastella, that when she administered OXYTOCIN, to a quarelling lovers during their therapy, their hostility seemed to die down. And with this result, this medicine, a love "OFF BUTTON" can possibly heal a broken heart, she says.



There is a down side to this wonder discovery as argued by Brian Earp, an Oxford University neuroethicist, and published it against this "ANTI LOVE BIOTECHNOLOGY" (He claims that since it will be developed, we should start discussing about ethical issues now that would guide its usage and supported that it should be voluntary, concomitant to therapy and must be monitored for possible misuse. He did emphasize the fact that today there is an extensive attempt to harness BIOMEDICINE, primarily to diminish SAME SEX SEXUALITY.)



In line with this argument, Neil McArthur, a philosophy professor at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg Canada, pointed out that this drug "might make sense specially for the cases of pedophilia or abuse where people are behaving in a way that is potentially destructive."



Another argument against it was explicitly explained by Vineeth John, a psychiatrist at the University of Texas Health Science Center, and said: "Love is revered like religion and for many it's the primary reason for survival, until therapy is practiable, ANTI LOVE DRUGS, would not only dampen affection but snuff out feelings for friends and family. To fully relieve heartache then scientists may have first to discern how to relieve us of our capacity to love."



In my simple analysis, we are coming to the discovery that love will now be cured like a headache? Should you want to stop loving that person, all you have to do is to keep taking this medicine. Question is, how much will it cost? And for how long should we take it?



Hmmnn, what a world we are getting into.



Then again, perhaps there will no longer be sorrows, pain, hurt associated to love?



We stand to lose our emotional gifts and passionate dispositions replaced by robotic manipulations. Hello Spock.



Thanks all for your reads and comments.

I just can't see how former cop Darren Wilson-who shot down in cold
blood an unarmed young black man named Michael Brown-got 500k for an interview;that left people pretty pissed off because of the decision of the chicken GJ. There's no justice in Ferguson. Next that you know that former cop Wilson may have his own
TV or radio talk or even open a bar!

I don’t mind being a loner
I can do what I want
Enjoy my own company
Listen to music I enjoy
Watch movies I enjoy
Not have to worry about others
Not have to agree with others
Not have to deal with endless arguments and drama
Lots of other People make demands and practice double standards
I have seen the worst in people online and don’t want be around toxic people
I will be here and I don’t need anyone else

SistaCallie comments on the blog Turn the other cheek: There were only three comments that were made on this blog, the second and last comments were deleted by blogger. For those who do not know what I said in those comments, you can read for yourself. I had not planned on doing this, because this is but the blogger continues to make claims toward me on her blog AFTER deleting my comments. Praise God I saved my comments on her blog because I knew sooner or later she would delete them which would able her to make claims of things she perceived to be in my statements. I only have two of my posted comments, but the third comment was to in response to another blog, hopefully I will be able to find it.

First comment on Turn the other cheek by SistaCallie...
LJ, My questions to you are, who is suppose to be turning the other cheek for more slapping? The terrorist who are the enemy, or their innocent victims, who are being killed at the hands of the enemy for their creative work whether of mockery or not?... And what does it mean to turn the other cheek for more slapping when up against the enemies who are determined to war against us? Does this turning the other cheek for more slapping apply in such case? You supposedly are quoting what you THINK Scripture is speaking during a time of war, maybe you can also explain its meaning and application in such case as this.

Yes, if we ALL, which include the terrorists, were like Jesus we would not have wars or rumors of wars and especially terrorists. But we're not ALL like Jesus, nor are some even close to being remotely like Jesus, and there is a real enemy out there who desires to kill us. Therefore, does this Scripture passage you recklessly quote apply in such case as this? Where in Scripture does God command us to turn the other cheek to the enemy for more slapping from those who are at war with us? Sounds like another twisted double-meaning message to me, one point you suggest being like Jesus by turning the other cheek for more slapping from an enemy at war, and on the other hand you suggest in your questions:
LJ: TERRORIST- are here to agonize us, torrorize us with or without reason. We already know that. Why wait for some cause or reason to justify declaring war against them? Why don't we commit ourselves on identifying who they are, where they are and expunge them? AFTER ALL IT'S EITHER THEM OR US, RIGHT?

So what's going to be?... do we turn the other cheek for more slapping from the enemy, or does the enemy turn the other cheek for more slapping from the victims they kill for what they assume to be mock.
