Just wondering if other members have heard about the pelican that became very closely attached to a guy at the marina--followed him around, wouldn't leave his side, wanted to be petted, even....they're wild animals--go figure. Also, many stories about strange bondings--a giant tortoise wanting to mother a baby hippo (?) something like that...cats sleeping with parakeets, geeze....all kinds of stuff.
I worked in nursing, dominated in most cases, by women. What I noticed frequently enough, was a female nurse/charge nurse escalate and even yell or be obviously angry, and, everyone would sort of half-smile and say things like, "Well, Nancy is just having one of her moments!" or, "Guess someone rattled her cage, this will blow over in an hour..." or something like that. BUT, when a male nurse even raised his voice even a teeny tiny bit, why, it's call in the troops--he's out of control, he needs anger management.....different genders are treated differently considering the environments they are in.
The emotional climate has changed so drastically that it has affected many serious partnership relationships. People have evolved into being self-serving and narcissistic. Not nearly enough bang for the buck. A little tiny bit of pleasure for a universe of bloody hell? NO THANK YOU
So, awhile back I met this guy I had been talking to from another club. He visited..........Now look, he was a passable version of a younger Sean Connery, and fit, handsome, rough and buff,etc...AND, all the time we were together (together) I was fantasizing about Bnaughty--and dang did that make it a billion times better!!
1963 Rambler Ambassador--I was allowed a conditional license from farm to town, then got a permit, then a real license. So, not exactly "illegal". First car I bought was a 1966 Ford Mustang. wish i still had it..........
It means trying to get people who don't believe the way you do to believe the way you do. Hey, don't be a bully--I thought you liked me, you cute old buff daddy-o---are you happy to see me or is that a ...............in your pocket?
I admit I have a bit of a hard time trying to "illustrate" my exact meaning. I'll put it another way--they (appear) to be working toward a perfect life here on earth.One thing is now for CERTAIN--as much as I really do love these people, I am not returning to that church for a visit, under any circumstances. To me, it totally appears like a cult, and the behaviors and mannerisms of so many members of SDA have a sameness that is unnerving, to me, anyway.
Absolutely. I wonder if some people are just never content. I believe that SDA members are always trying to "fix" it, they are perfectionists in my observation and are very attached to old Jewish Law--they are always trying to "work" toward this perfect Nirvana, which sadly, never existed and never will, as we know it, anyway. JMO
Believe it or not, this makes a little sense--but they are not going to change anyone, as you said. I would think it would be just too frustrating to keep it up, though. It wouldn't work for me.......
(they are Seventh Day Adventist)--I don't know what they call the individual ones, I am Church Of England, we say "parish"
Hi everybody--please understand before reading this that I am very much jaded regarding organized religion--this is NOT an attempt to proselytize. thanx
Two very good friends of mine are SDA. A married couple, they are fiercely attached to attending services, in whatever town they happen to be in (they own several homes on the west coast..) Problem is, they are in constant disagreement with what they visualize as the current movement's departure from how THEY see the church should be. They have been so adamant about how they see it that they have at least one PRO against them in one of the local "wards/parishes" here. They are an older, retired couple. Their complaints are constant, and with every single parish they go to. The husband simply says that they are not preaching "the truth", nor do they want to here "the truth". Yet they continue to go... At their current home church, they have been told they are welcome to attend, but will not be accepted formally as members. I have tried several times,diplomatically, to advise they find another avenue they are more comfortable with. I just don't get it--why go where you are in disagreement AND, obviously, not wanted?:
This is hardly isolated. Many companies have "no fraternizing" rules, and "no nepotism" rules. I hear what you are trying to say, but I do support companies having parameters regarding relationships and intimacy. "Don't make a bed where you bake your bread"--"Don't dip your pen into the company inkwell"---"no honey with the money". I really think overall it is a good idea to separate the two--suppose you and your loved one get into it? It is going to affect the work environment, and then other employees as well, which is unfair.
I am guessing, as a retired practical nurse/medical assistant, that in the first frame the guy had what is commonly listed in ICD-9/10 coding as "RD". It seems to occur in athletes, all types, wrestlers, track and field, even baseball and soccer. Not much can be done about it, and one can't really wear an adult diaper without it being apparent, in these sports. Poor people!
