Prayer Request can things get worse?

Rasputin · 07-13-2009, 07:08 PM

I lost my home, I lost my job & my van broke down. I live in Salina Ks. I pay a hell of a lot in child support so I couldn't afford rent when they cut my hours. I told my work I was going to take a leave of absence so I could stay with my mom in Greensburg till September. I changed my mind during the week and decided to stay and live at the homeless shelter untill I can get back on my feet. They hired somebody to replace me and now I am out of a job. I went to Greensburg for the weekend and I was heading back to Salina & my van broke down. Transmission leaking everywhere. My mom came to pick me up and the van is in the shop. Just haven a hell of a time.

Sorry I have been gone so long.

Yes, things can get worse. Try to remember that.

Best of luck with your troubles, these things tend to go in cycles.

Stay strong brother. No shit, no flowers. Look for ways you can start to pull yourself up, a little at a time. There is ALWAYS a way out, and nothing is hopeless.

Just think:

Last year, we had no QB, Carl was a dick, Herm was coach, LJ was smackin' ho's, Bowe was dropping balls, we had 10 sacks.... it goes on and on and on.

NOW, we may have a QB, Carl got his come-uppence, Herm got the boot, we got Pioli, Haley is a hardass, and there is hope for a brighter future. The Broncos are whores also, but that's not new.

Such is life.

What?

Mr. KC Tattoo. I know for sure that, from a purely spiritual perspective, things can improve. Dramatically and quickly. Know that I will connect to the Aethers on your behalf tonight.

Please keep a positive attitude and expect a miracle.

Would you mind if I bought an insurance policy on you? I'm bound to score a big win on a lightning strike or bear attack.

Hang in there. Everyone takes hits, and the key to success is how you deal with them and pick yourself back up.

wow, sorry to hear.

There's also this, Mr. KC Tattoo ...

Swearing can make you feel better, lessen pain

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Cut your finger? Hurt your leg? Start swearing. It might lessen the pain.

Researchers from the school of psychology at Britain's Keele University have found swearing can make you feel better as it can have a "pain-lessening effect," according to a study published in the journal NeuroReport.

Colleagues Richard Stephens, John Atkins and Andrew Kingston, set out to establish if there was any link between swearing and physical pain.

"Swearing has been around for centuries and is an almost universal human linguistic phenomenon," says Stephens.

"It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain, whereas most language production occurs in the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain. Our research shows one potential reason why swearing developed and why it persists."

Their study involved 64 volunteers who were each asked to put their hand in a tub of ice water for as long as possible while repeating a swear word of their choice.

They then repeated the experiment using a more commonplace word that they would use to describe a table.

The researchers found the volunteers were able to keep their hands in the ice water for a longer when swearing, establishing a link between swearing and an increase in pain tolerance.

Stephens said it was not clear how or why this link existed but it could be because swearing may increase aggression.

"What is clear is that swearing triggers not only an emotional response, but a physical one too, which may explain why the centuries-old practice of cursing developed and still persists today," he said.

Look on the bright side. If she were still around she'd probably just be bitching at you about how ****ed up everything is.

Contrary to popular opinion, misery does not always love company.

Hog's Gone Fishin · 07-13-2009, 07:30 PM

This will be a time you look back on later on and will remember. When one door closes another will open. Mark my words.

Anyway were all gonna die in 2012. Nostradumbass said so!
