Mark sounds like your camp counselor was not smarter than mine but much HIPPER! Interesting that you grew up in So. Cal. My son lives there. His friendly next door neighbor, Mike Hunt, has a cousin named Hugh Jass. Small world, eh?

Yeah Green, the very nature of that song was long, low and soulful. In a bad way. Depressing, really. Had many verses. Almost never would be over. The best way to shake it off was to sit on our bunks and discuss boys.

What used to creep me out about it was the emotion that would be automatically attached to it. I never did get it and always found myself faking it. It really was a very creepy experience for me now that I look back. Ugh! Kumbaya! Up there with clowns.:cry Who would have figured, eh.:faint:

Now that you mention it, that was what threw me off, also. Singing Kumbaya was one of the worst parts of church camp for me. Well, that and the prayer circles, where I'd have to sit and pretend that I was praying along. It was freakin' creepy.

At least the "authorities" appear to understand that something needs to be done to change the law. But it's hard to tell for sure. It will be interesting to see how the court rules. If anyone hears, let us know.

I wonder how many court scenes there have been that went something like this:

Religious Person "Helping" the Pregnant Woman: "Your honor, I acknowledge that this woman is really, really, really, really depressed, but in my opinion, she is not suicidal."

Pregnant Woman Carrying a Child That Wil Not Survive Childbirth: "No, Your Honor, seriously, I'm suicidal. Trust me on this one. Here, let me cut my wrist right here. Does anyone have a razor I can borrow? Here, I'll stick a pen in my eye. No, wait, seriously, I'm suicidal."

Women and men in Ireland should come to this poor young lady's aid. She's depending on the state financially and that must be why they can prevent her from going to England. It is terribly sad that the government can interject themselves in this young lady's extremely personal and emotional decision.

I know you're being sarcastic, Mark, but you are right on the money as far as I'm concerned!

I haven't been following this thread because I've been out of town, but someone mentioned a while ago that it's better for children to be aborted than to be abused later in life because they're unwanted. I was researching something else and came across this study: Study: Women Having Abortions More Likely to Engage in Child Abuse - Study: Women Having Abortions More Likely to Engage in Child Abuse

While the article is at a pro-life website, don't claim bias: the study was done by the Internet Journal of Pediatrics and Neonatology.

Seems like the reverse may be true about child abuse, eh?

Well, if this is true then what is your complaint about these individuals resorting to abortions? As you must know, more and more women who shouldn't have children are opting to keep them once they are born. This is because society is much more relaxed about unwed mothers - a good thing, I figure - and because there are some women who feel that society expects that they must keep their kiddies.

Maybe if they hadn't aborted the first or first several children, they would have been less likely to have resorted to child abuse with later children? I certainly don't believe we should kill children just in case they might be abused later in life!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
