It does make sense. We are born with a will to live and survive, so a fear of dying is healthy and normal, I'd say.

Now in 4 weeks I've lost 12 pounds, drastically changed my diet, and never took the meds. Reading 96-114 in the mornings and 108-136 after meals (depending on what I eat) and working hard to get that even lower.
So take that and shove it former Dr. office.
Stubbornness can be a good thing sometimes.
At first it rocked my world in a very bad way. Now I'm thankful for having it because it forces me to take care of myself.

Wow!!! Way to go!! You are an inspiration! Congrats!

I met Donny Osmond once when he and the whole family were in Ohio for the State Fair. He had purple socks on! LOL I remember being crushed when he got married.

Did you know he's a grandfather now? Seems really WEIRD. how did I find out about it? ... my mom's bff sent me an e-mail with the update ... she was the one that took me to the concert back in 7th grade and listened to all of us screaming. lol

I love birds, especially parrots(have one right now), but I like bird watching, and chickens (have some).

How was that?

And I thought the ladies whose husbands were their one and only are COOL and very blessed....NOT boring!

Of course you can play!! Welcome to SSD!! I'm a homeschooler too ... but I've only been homeschooling for a couple of years ... my 16yo is in 11th grade and I started homeschooling him in 8th ... and my 15yo is in 9th grade and I started homeschooling him in 7th. Wish I had homeschooled all 3 of my boys from the beginning (I have a 21yo that went through public).

Hi newbie!!! I think a good amount of us might be really really obsessed with Digital Scrapbooking ... present company included ... in fact if I can't get a page done in a day it almost depresses me!

[Sharon Kay]

Oh I thought of something ... I have 3 boys ... my sister has 3 girls ... when my sister was pg with her 3rd girl, my niece asked me if she could swap her sister for my youngest boy so she would have a brother and I could have a daughter. lol Somehow that never seemed to happen.

You're not a loser Rebecca! My DH was my first and only boyfriend too! First kiss too! I think it's kind of sweet (in an effort to not think of myself as pathetic, lol)!!

Great thread!


1. I became a Christian just over 4 years ago

2. I am a nerd - I am a software engineer, I had a perfect GPA in Uni and graduated top student of all science specialties in the B Sc program

3. My youngest was born at 28 weeks

4. My biggest dream is to be a SAHM, but it just isn't possible right now

5. I'm married to my high school sweetie (21 1/2 years)

[scrapperjade]

Hmmm, I don't have much interesting to tell, but I;ll try!

~ My knees hyper-extend, meaning I can bend them backwards. Kind of gross actually.

~ I wanted to be a ballerina when I was little, but I can't dance for anything

~ I'm 27 and don't have my driver's license. The only reason I've never taken the test is because I'm afraid of failing. Sigh.

~ I have been estranged from my sister for an entire year (at the end of August), and I just finally cried about it the other day. Man, I'm missing her like crazy (probably because I'm pregnant, and I don't know when she'll ever see/meet her new nephew or neice).

~ My DH was my first boyfriend, first kiss & all that. I was 21 when we got married.

...then me too - I was 23

Erm, I lived in Denmark for 18 months, and before that I lived just around the corner from Alnwick Castle (the castle from the 1st HP movie & Robin Hood) in Northumberland. I really loved living there, and have in in my Will to have my ashes scattered there - nothing like planning ahead!

I have really confidence issues, and often have to make myself get out and about.

Oh, and my babysitter l-o-v-e-d Donny Osmond, so naturally he was my first love at aged 4

[Jengerbread88]

I've never been drunk, either! In fact, I'm almost 22 and I've never tasted alcohol!

[NeverendingJen]

I'm a classically trained violinist. I miss getting to actually play with a local symphony but that is not an option right now

[jaylensmom]

Ok let me see...

I played softball from the age of 6 until I graduated high school...I could've gotten a scholarship but I was burned out on softball my then...It also wasn't as popular as it is now...If only I would've known

I'm absolutely addicted to romance novels...who doesn't love a happy ending...

I cry at anything that's remotely sad on tv...I'm a sucker...

I went to the doctor because I thought I was diabetic and came out of the office shocked that I was pregnant...it's the joke in the family...

[laurabobaura]

i HATE beer. haven't even tasted it in over 10 years but just the smell can make me gag.

i haven't seen or spoken to my dad in over 3 years. (long story)

my stepmom has the same first name as me.

my oldest son was technically at both of his parents' high school graduations :P for mine, i was 5 months pregnant- and then his dad graduated the next year.

Okay Kellie, I worry about that all the time too! And I am always stressed when DH and DS go somewhere without me. It's like my world is walking out the door.
As for the better person, it does just seem like so much work
