  • Sorry for you loss. You did bond, even if you don’t think it was the bond you might have made. Sometimes the best we can take from our parents is to try not to make their mistakes all over again, however it sounds like he got some stuff right. It may take awhile to fully hit you. Sometimes you don’t think you’re going to react to a loss and then out of the blue a month later something miniscule sets you off. Take care of yourself.



  • This is why I refer to myself as agnostic instead of atheist. I do not see an evidence of God as stated in the Bible, Torah, Koran or such religions. However I cannot prove that a different type of God does not exist. Something - called God - could be responsible for the beginning of everything. I don’t see that God as being too concerned about humans and what they do or don’t do. God and religion are not the same thing. Religions are entirely man made as a societal control mechanisms and abused by leadership greed.




  • Ironically that was the cause of the first worst scam calls. The govt had a do not call list that you could put your number on which then became THE phone book for scam calls instead of stopping them. If you’ve ever signed up for anything or paid for anything online and had to give your phone number, it went into a list that was sold on. With auto dialers, they just go through every permeation of possible numbers. I don’t get many calls on my cell because I keep that number private and use my already compromised land line for everything.

    I don’t think his home was invaded and he was raped when he was 30, like she was for “being a successful, beautiful woman”. Nor did he have the drug and alcohol addiction problems as a coping mechanism from that incident. Add in he doesn’t have a genetic condition that impairs his health. All in all, I think she is doing fantastic for all that life has thrown at her. All we see of him is Scientology propaganda photos.




  • When I read studies like this, I wonder what variables they aren’t including. What else causes impaired blood flow in the brain? Anything? If anything else does, it is affected by consuming alcohol? Does alcohol impare flow more or less than the other thing(s)? For example if extreme stress impared blood flow but alcohol decreased the stress and then impared blood flow but impared it less than the stress did, alcohol would be a positive, but if it aded to the impairment, it would be a negative. Ancedotally I know plenty of people, now in their late 80s and 90s who have drank moderately and it doesn’t seem to have caused them any significant issues. I also know teatotallers that haven’t made it to age 65 without the beginning of dementia type deficits.
