BBM: Reminds me of a "story":

This guy dies and is standing in line at the Pearly Gate. He notices, on the other side of the gate, 2 women taking turns kicking each other's butts. When our guy gets to the head of the line he asks St. Peter, "What's up with those 2 women?" St. Peter says, "Oh, those 2? They both got here demanding to get into heaven because they were virgins. I told them they didn't have to be virgins to get in. They've been kicking each other's asses ever since.":blushing:

Oh yeah…I was terrified they might fix us a plate and hand it to us. :gasp: I was trying to think of what excuse I could use. "We just ate." "We're vegans." "We're fasting for a blood glucose test." Thank God they had no manners! :floorlaugh:

They worked way too hard to get that stuff out of the dumpster to be sharing!

Not a nun yet- only in the beginning state right now. The order is still discerning if I (and God) is calling me to this religious life. I am 63 yrs old and still have my younger son with me- he's leaving in the Spring. I'll have to get rid of all my worldly goods (and smoking), but I have been thinking of this for years now. The worldly goods don't bother me- it's just stuff. I really want to make some kind of difference in the time I have left in this world. My family has had a hard time about this decision of mine, but I really want it. I won't be giving them up, just adding more meaningful things to my life (you never lose your family). It's harder for an older woman to enter a convent- they really would like younger woman. It's been a hard climb.
Here's the order, if you're interested:

Just because you are a nun doesn't mean you can't remember what it is to be a woman, you know.
I didn't want to say anything before because I didn't want anyone to think they had to be "different" with me.
And I don't believe in the DP, unfortunatly.

I LOVE that at 63 you are still pursuing dreams...

And you're not "different" You are one of us in this great group.

Oh, and I bet there's lots of people here pro and con the DP. I really struggle with it myself....

I really worry about innocent people being wrongly convicted and executed.

That's why I have no problems with tons of appeals...to me, they are not for the criminals' benefit, they are for the innocent who may otherwise fall through the cracks.
 
It's so sad about these woman in jail on NG. What a waste of life for them.
 
Yoo hoo Chester...

Can't say why, but this is what's been going over and over in my mind today.

As the resident atheist here... I want to say good for you!
If this is something you've wanted to do and have been considering for a long time, you should do it.
May I ask why it's harder for an older person to enter the convent?

I thought I believed in the death penalty until very recently, I don't think *I* could sentence someone to death.... I'd rather someone else make that decision. So... After much consideration I don't feel "right" about the DP anymore.

I won't treat you any differently;)

Just checked out the link... I like the habits, everyone looks good and thinner in all black;)

Jeez, you've had a hard life :hug:

My younger son has ADD (not as bad as all the problems you mentioned, tho'). When he was in the 4th grade, his teachers said that he was falling behind in class because of his attention- or non- attention. My husband would not consider that HIS son had a problem, but I always knew something was "wrong" with younger son. I cried all the time and felt so helpless. What made my husband change his mind was the testing the school did. They gave him an IQ test and he tested as developmentally disabled- which wasn't correct (he just couldn't concentrate). He is very intelligent and was retested after he saw a neurologist and received meds- he has an IQ of 132. His attention was the problem and my husband finally agreed. What got me was that my MIL also knew "something was wrong" with younger son and told me that my husband also had "something wrong with him when he was young- ADD, but they didn't have a name for it then. I'm glad I fought so hard with my husband to get my son the help he needed. There's nothing wrong with being "different" and I think of it like having diabetes which needs meds, too. We also had my son see a child psychologist to help him with having ADD (which he hates having, but I think he has come to terms with). He's such a good person and has done so much with his education- what comes relatively easy to some students, my son has struggled with, but he's going to get his masters. :blushing:
I really believe in getting help for your children, no matter what kind of help it is. It's being a good parent.

Holy moly.......just call my place "Psychos R Us"! In 18 months, my 2nd ex was diagnosed, I was diagnosed, my son went through pre-kindergarten screening and HE was diagnosed with ADD at the age of 4 :floorlaugh: Unfortunately, my mental illnesses didn't allow for me to go insane, or go psychotic like my 2nd ex so I was lucid, sane, and pulling my hair out! I got everything that my son needed to get a handle on ADD, went the Ritalin route (grrrrrr), the doc put him on a downer at night when the Ritalin kept him up, then jacked up the R......I'm outta here! Changed Docs, NO DRUGS, changed my son's diet, made sure he was in Special Ed, had the phone #'s of all of his teachers, gave him COFFEE w/non dairy creamer and sugar at night and he was out like a light in 15 minutes!!!!
This is my son who tested 140 on the IQ test when he was 8. I got both of us through his childhood by telling myself that where one lack's in one thing, one has an over abundance of another. He grew out of his ADD in his early teens, still went to Special Ed.......and he excelled in elementary/ middle and high school. ALWAYS on either the Principal's List or Honor Roll.
ADD is just a different way that a brain learns things. Kids with ADD need more than 2 senses going at the same time and you got to get those senses on fire! 2 + 2 on a chalk board is boring, 2 apples and 2 more apples on a desk are tangible. Throw them all in a basket, one by one, and you have addition for ADD.
 
Ok, and this: I will only post this if you guys promise not to take it the wrong way, and, don't laugh. :rolleyes:
P.S. This is kinda embarassing so have mercy?

Random post here....but I'm watching Nancy Grace "Behind Bars" and it just dawned on me who she reminds me of. It's been bugging me for awhile. She's got loads of eye make up on tonight and a cute little barrette in her hair and it just hit me!! Sometimes she reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith!!!!
