RE: "We are their Heaven - Why the Dead Never Leave Us", by Allison DuBois

I love the show, The Medium, and have read one of Allison's books.

I know that there are many sceptics out there, but I'm not one.

My husband died a year ago tomorrow, and he wasn't sure what would happen. He didn't know if there was life after this life or not...but he knew I believed, so we agreed on a signal just in case. I feel the touches on the back of my neck that he still gives me just like he did in life. I know he's near when that happens, and that he's comforting me. I've been getting a lot of those tonight...that, and the back of my head, kind of brushing my hair with his fingers...another touch he did in life to help me relax.

I've had many experiences before of feeling the energy brushes of spirits, but these are the ones that touch me the most. To me, it makes sense, because Spirit is energy, and energy is neither created nor destroyed. It's only the physical body that can be destroyed, not the Spirit it houses.

Now he knows that for sure, too. (Too bad it was too late to give him comfort that he gained that knowledge.)

RE: SAY SOMETHING TO THE PERSON ABOVE YOU.

Hello to the person above me, nice to meet you!

RE: I always wanted to tell the person below me

that I hate the color brown

RE: i am going to do

I've had an EGD before, watched them too as part of nursing school. It's not that bad. You're not really conscious during it, don't feel a thing.

My worst nightmare was the Colonoscopy I had to have...and I wasn't conscious during that test either, didn't feel a thing, so it wasn't that bad.

The two Advil aren't good for your ulcer, though. Any Nsaid (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) isn't good for ulcers...they cause them. Ibuprofin (Advil) is an Nsaid.

Good luck...and there are some wonderful herbal remedies available for your migraines that won't hurt your stomach, and won't put you on the hamster wheel of treatment that most of what the allopathic (traditional western) doctors use put you on with migraines.

Email me if you want to know some things that will ease your migraines w/o worse side effects.

RE: can someong answer a few bible q's for me ??

My problem is the corruption of the teachings of Christ that happened almost 1400 years ago, and all of the corrupting and twisting of it since then. If more people actually lived those teachings of love, then we'd live in a much better world.

RE: can someong answer a few bible q's for me ??

I'm sure you squared her away on that one, JP! Apparently she hasn't been on forums much!

RE: can someong answer a few bible q's for me ??

Ah, yes...so true. It's why I have a hard time considering it a "holy" book.

A point I always find interesting is that we are supposed to have separation of church and state, yet one has to swear on a bible (religion) in a court (state) of law.

(Ooops...I probably started something here! Crotty! )

Anyway, very interesting thread. However, Crotty...it took me a while to get through your "few"...remind me not to chat with you if you say "only for a minute"!

RE: Maybe

OK...good points at the top...

and loved the last part!

RE: "Truth, Honesty, and the American way!"

Notice, I wasn't upset if that were the case...loved Christopher Reeves as Superman, btw...and he turned out to be quite a super man in real life, too, with the way he handled his accident and what it did to his life.

Both of our answers are correct, btw... Good night!

RE: How is everyone doing tonight?

I was born into a family that turned out to be all Fire signs, with the exception of my dad! Poor guy...the only male and the only Earth sign.

My sons are Gemini and Capricorn (both cusps if you believe in that), and I get along well with both of them!

RE: "Truth, Honesty, and the American way!"

my misunderstanding of thread? oh well...late, and I'm off to bed. Goodnight, all!

RE: "Truth, Honesty, and the American way!"

Ben Franklin...did not say this.

RE: How is everyone doing tonight?

Thank you, Tip. And yes, it is...but we might be too much alike, too. Both Leos. Can make for some head-butting,

I think we've both mellowed with age, though...time will tell. So far he's a good fit.

RE: IMPORTANT.........PLEASE READ

Yeah, I know. I've passed many such warnings on for the same reason, just to find out that they're false. Snopes checks all of these out, so good place to look. However, one really can't be too safe, and who would think that something like this could be possible...until you read it and realize it could happen. So, not bad warnings. Common sense is to say "no" and keep walking if approached in a parking lot.

Personally, I stay safe because I walk straight with my head up, looking around me. I meet people's eyes as I pass. Criminals tend to look for those who appear distracted, or look like victims by walking with their heads down and shoulders slumped, not making eye contact.

My purse is harder to get because I wear the kind with long straps that I sling across my body, and my hand is on it if it's not in a buggy in front of me.

Think about how easy you would be to rob or attack, and then take steps to make yourself less of a target.

RE: How is everyone doing tonight?

Thank you, SXC....yes, my friends are very good at coming up with stuff like this to keep me out of trouble. (TG 'cuz someone's got to keep me in line! )

Just started dating a guy last week, and he totally understood why this week might not be a good one to really see each other much. He's on the road to Texas with a load anyway, so it's all good. He understands my need for space at this time, too. Said to call him when I want to talk. So far, really great guy. Met him on here, btw...but not on forums.

RE: How is everyone doing tonight?

Thank you, Tip...I've never held one before, and I have many more to hold as I go through stuff here. I was left the accumulations of 3 people's lifetimes...my husband's, and both of his parents. And then there's my stuff when I can bring it here out of storage...though some of it's coming here now for the yard sale this weekend. It will give us more room to maneuver to hunt for things in the storage shed!

RE: IMPORTANT.........PLEASE READ

Checked this on ...false. This is an urban legend.

It always pays to be cautious when approached by strangers anywhere for any reason, though.

RE: How is everyone doing tonight?

Well, I'm getting ready to have a yard sale this weekend. My friends came up with that as a creative solution for keeping me busy and not moping this weekend... ...gotta love them.

See, Monday will be the one year anniversary of my husband's death, and this weekend I don't have my sons to keep me occupied. So, a bad weekend coming up...until they kicked me off of my butt to do this. We have a very nice weekend coming up and I had no reason not to throw this together. Then Monday I start training at my job, so that will keep my mind occupied during the day. Now it's just Monday night that's looking like a tough one. So, I'll see you guys Monday night. I'll need you all then. If you don't see me, I'm curled up crying my eyes out....so I hope you see me 'cuz this would be healthier.

RE: Maybe

Not a bad idea...and helpful to the newbies.

RE: Married People on a singles website

As to the married ones who swing, well, hey...it takes all kinds and it's not up to me to judge. Ignore them and look at the singles. You can use that as a search criteria in your advanced searches, and you can put in your profile that you're only interested in single people of the opposite gender for dating.

RE: Married People on a singles website

MF, that was a great response!

Personally, I think it's great that the marrieds have stayed on here!

RE: CS ZOO....

Hate to burst the bubble on you guys here, but it's the lioness who does the hunting, so she would be bringing you the zebra.

RE: Married People on a singles website

It would be odd if this were a normal dating site. Because of the friendships made here along the way I don't find it odd at all...it's great to see the success stories.

RE: what are you like?

OK...while I was being serious (and typing a small book), others were being goofy.

RE: what are you like?

I am the worst at having patience. I want it yesterday, dang it...or even last week! And don't go the speed limit in front of me, that's still too slow! (The one thing my 3rd ex-husband had right about me was that he said I'd never have patience until I opened up my own practice.

The best...here's a good contradiction...I do have all of the patience in the world for teaching somebody something, at work and at home. Interesting, for I am a very quick learner...yet, I am able to help others who do not learn things so quickly and easily to learn them. I have tutored college English and helped others to bring their grades up by two grades, ie, D to a B or C to an A. I figure out how to teach things in a way that the individual can understand them...something that a teacher of a large group is unable to do.

I missed my calling in life.

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUGZ!!!!!!

RE: CS ZOO....

I would definitely be in with the lions also.

RE: trying to meet older woman

As always...incorrigible, Ship...you're incorrigible!

RE: How to Identify Where a Driver is From

12. One hand on wheel, cradling cell phone, foot solidly on accelerator, zig-zagging through traffic at top speed w/o looking: Pittsburgh.

RE: The E-mail

Yep...that would've done it for me!
