  2. I wonder if Agatha Christie, Lt. Columbo, Sgt. Joe Friday, Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, James Rockford, Sherlock Holmes, Fox Mulder and Dana Sculley will head up the investigations? Just think, cold cases as we know them today will really be delving into some cold cases.
  3. I have wondered about unsolved crimes for years. Only recently, i have been leaning towards it not becoming common knowledge. Since death is the wages of sin what good would it do? If the person really comes to know Jehovah, then they will truly come to repetence so why should they have to then be humilated by past shameful works? This has just been a different view i've been juggling the last 6 months, so i am not commited the that thinking if that makes since.
  4. Its funny you ask this because i was wondering about this very thing earlier today.. Now since I am living in an RV with no washer or dryer for the last 6 months, i realized i have every pair of socks i moved in with..15 pairs. I hand wash my socks, and fine unmentionables and air dry in bathroom. So, im convienced the dryer is the Bermuda Triangle of socks.
  5. Dietary supplements such as activated charcoal and copper chlorophyllin can bind trimethylamine in the gut and hence reduce the amount available for absorption. The use of slightly acidic soaps and body lotions can convert trimethylamine on the skin into a less volatile form that can be removed by washing.Oct 21, 2020 https://rarediseases.org › rare-diseases
  6. So many exciting things to contemplate.. I want to do many things and learn them well. To start, maybe have a bed and breakfast to welcome back many resurrected ones. Be able to teach others and learn from them as well. Travel the globe and learn to use the earth's bounty to nourish and delight our senses. Write. I love words.
  7. I know Jehovah will fill your hearts desires but I SEE YOU with traveling companion. Yes, husband if you will. Because I know you would make a perfect partner for some unsuspecting, fortunate man.
  8. I returned to USA when my husband died. Now, I am so thankful not to be there alone..
  9. I try and stay close to my little congregation in San Mateo, Ecuador. Drug cartel ring leader escaped prison and the entire country has plunged into turmoil. Airport canceling flights into and out of country. University shooting. Government offices, businesses, schools evacuated and closed down. Terrorists took over live news broadcast, express kidnappings, armed robbery, home invasions, and inmates kill guard---filmed and sent out video over internet. All of this happened in a country the size of Colorado, USA and all occurred today. I spoke to a brother who said San Mateo congregation is safe, shelter at home, all extremely worried. Government recommended people have enough food for at least next 8 days. Dont know what after that. Military in full force patrolling the streets. So worried for everyone...i.guess this is just a glimpse of our future. To see the streets I was walking on a few short months ago and expecting to have my husband join me for our retirement is still surreal..
  10. I had to spend 1 week away from home for education purposes. My congregation elders called a local KH near the hospital I was testing at and asked if anyone had an extra room I could stay in... It went extremely well. I arrived to a comfortable room with a welcome basket of fruit, healthy snacks, and a mini frig with a bedtime snack of a turkey and Swiss sandwich, and a variety of tea, juice, soda and water. A towel and washcloth set on foot of bed. The next day I stopped by grocery store and prepared supper for her and her brother. I did this the next four nights then left movie passes and a bottle if wine on the Dining room table the morning I left. It was a great experience.
  11. We make them at home but my husband would take three pats frozen butter and seal them between two seasoned HB patties pressing the edges of the HB patties all tgr way around. He used Hellmans mayo or homemade mayo to toast the buns and would spoon butter and worchestershire over patties as they cooked. I liked the tomato thin sliced and crisp lettuce on mine while he just had meat and cheese.
  12. Wonderful! I have a Jewish study. I would love to pick your mothers brain. Where does she live? My friend is in Naples FL and consumed with this war.
  13. It has been 3.5 months since I was notified of my husband's untimely death. When the sheriff's did a welfare check on him while I was in Ecuador, upon entering the home they were immediately assaulted by the stench of decomposition and extreme heat. They quickly found my husband deceased with our dog HazelGrace curled up at his side. Our other three dogs were also lifeless. Nit until the county coroner arrived did they note upon removing my husband from our home, that Hazel had slight muscle twitching and was still alive. The further investigated the other three and realized they too were barely breathing. They contacted a family friend who was already in route as they were the ones who initiated the welfare check per my instructions. Our dogs were taken to a 24hr emergency hospital where the vet started IV fluids and IV antibiotics fir stress diarrhea. They werebhospitalized for 4 days for continued care and slow introduction to diet. My cocker spaniel had to be given Trazadone for obvious depression/anxiety. My little 3.5 lb Maltese named Poppy was Rick's baby. He still can not be left alone. He stays constantly by my side. If he sees me stand he starts to bark and jump. He is so tiny. Yet the noise he makes is extremely loud for such a tiny bit of fluffy fur. If I set him down to put on shoes he cries and can only jump up high enough to wrap his paws around my ankle. Maggie Mae is my 9 lb , one year old Boston Terrier who is a nervous wreck. Eddie, Maggie's brother, was able to be rehomed and is living with his brother who was his actual litter mate. The vet said he did not know if their personalities would ever return to their former self or if this may be their new norm. It has given me time to really observe Jehovahs creation and the realization that they can suffer to from trauma and keep those emotional scars. Since they have always been so well loved and the situation did not involve physical abuse I guess I never thought about their emotional trauma. The final ME report came in last week. ME estimates Rick had been dead approximately 11 or 12 days with record breaking temperatures 112-115 degrees every day. It was 137degrees when they entered the house at 830 pm on Sunday July 23rd. So dogs were not able to go outdoors. No food, no water. Just extreme silence and heat. I hope they will improve but it certainly has left its mark. They are my constant companions. They run errands with me, grocery store, even the nail salon today. The only time they don't go is for meetings and service. NY the time I get back home, which has never been longer than 5 hrs, they are beside theirself and it takes so long to get them quiet. Yes, dogs truly suffer and grieve the loss of their owners.
  14. Tge instead of the. Live instead of love. Anything that may highlight the key next to it is is risk, but it is more susceptible to go unnoticed if it happens to be a real word. As they say, auto correct is my worst enema...
  15. Hindsight is 20/20 as the saying goes. I wish I would have known the truth from birth. But the n again, accepting it would have been the key. There is no do overs in this life, but I do have the chance to pick up and start over. From here. From this point forward. Thing is, I loved being married and imagined all the different ways Rick would learn the truth. But sadly, none of those occurred. Or maybe, not so sadly but what feels miraculously, I have been presented with a new way he could still have the chance to learn and accept Jehovahs ways. These ways are far superior to any other ways. So, maybe, just maybe, this new opportunity to learn will work. I'll need all of your help.
  16. I don't know how I missed it unless something on a different channel got my attention. I love Mad About You but for so reason it makes me miss Rick too much. I think experiencing marriage and its ups and downs through young love stirs alot of emotions I'm not ready to feel.
  17. I just bought the box set of Northern Exposure and Mad About You. I never saw Northern Exposure in its first airtime. I am enjoying it throughly.
  18. Do not think so little of yourself that Jehovah can not use, but neither think so much of yourself that he won't use you.
  19. I understand the principal of of tough love and I'm thinking this term is a current phrase of above text. But I still am not understanding why Jesus would first deny the woman's request. Was it because it was not his primary reason for being there. Please help me with your explanations which have never failed me.
  20. I will be happy to pray for you. So glad you added details so prayer may be specific to your needs. Please let us know how you managed with Jehovahs unmatchable help. When you are laying there with your eyes closed take deliberate slow, deep breaths and imagine different scenes from various accounts where Jehovah helped and guided his faithful servants through. Now, put yourself in that scene and feel the way they felt. Focus on the details. Ie the parting of the Red Sea, Boarding the ark in the final moments. Do you see the clouds gathering? Do you smell the rain? What animals do you hear? Can you see the people starting to notice the weather changes? Thunder? Lightening? Wind picking up speed? Animals behavior changing? Perhaps Noah urging you to hurry? Now- what would it be like to enter and hear that door close behind you? Knowing something grand just occurred that you had taken part in? Imagine what a routine might be like in the days to come. Anyway, so much to reflect on. Use any example you like! What if the test is over and you found yourself longing for the solitude and privacy that can be found inside the walls of the MRI? I'll be praying for you Lori.
  21. Just 'getting by' is so hard for so many of us now. The recent WT study touching on compassion moves us to action instead of just a feeling. Help when and often as you can. Our turn is coming.
  22. Yes. Jehovah teaches us to be one step ahead! Know your weaknesses. Pray for strength and awareness. Keep on the watch.
