Jesus speaks through the Republicans

I hope the election of George W. Bush is seen as a wake-up call to all the liberal Democrats who oppose God's will.

It is His doing that George W. Bush is still our president. Millions of born-again Christians helped win this election through our prayers and votes. Jesus speaks through the Republicans.

The Democrats will not be able to win elections until they renounce their sinful ways and stop encouraging abortions, gayness, and trying to take away our guns.

not to mention the safety of the young men and women, and stop the spread of some diseases.

but i'm also advocating the legalization of marijuana. it's been proven to lessen the impact of my disease significantly, lower my hyper immune system, increase my appetite, lower nausia, when that is a problem, and have less side effects on other things in my body. and it would be much cheaper than the drugs i'm on now. as in, i could afford it. right now, i'm back on my drugs, and dealing with the side effects on my body and wallet. cause i just am too sick to function on any but the most passive level. god, these things are even hard to swallow. and so many of them....yes, i know, i'm a weenie. where's my vaunted strength now?

Bullshit. Strength includes doing the things you need to do in order to survive and function as best you can. It also includes staying focused, as much as is possible, on reality... and reality includes budgets and the fact that money doesn't grow on trees and that it's well and truly fucked up that a medicine which DOES in fact grow on bushes is unavailable to you despite its many benefits.

I'm for legalization as well. Marijuana is FAR less harmful than alcohol, and it's arguably gentler than tobacco.

i am feeling weak today, been in pretty bad pain for about a week now, and i swear, my anus has been dipped in acid. oh, and a giant worm is eating it's way thru my intestines. such fun! i'll feel a bit more up to the game when i can stay awake all day, and eat 3 meals, and not hurt. oh, and can i please have a serving of energy as well? *wry smile here*
hubby is so wonderful, took me out today, always helping me over and around the simplest of obsticals, always asking if he's going too fast. tells me i took care of his entire world for years and years, and it's his turn now. damn, i trained that man well!

anyway, if offered a joint right now? as much as i love to obey the law, and stay really really out of jail, i would take it with thanks, and smoke that puppy up. thinking of drugging myself legally to oblivion tomorrow, and just sleep. i don't work, well, hubby says it's a hard job i have running a family and trying to stay well.

i'm not really ever gonna give up. but yeah, i really do get tired and weary of the whole thing.

thanks for your support.

I have a friend who has Crohn's disease. When it's good, he has a fairly normal life. When it's bad.... it's really, really bad. So, yeah. Being able to stand and walk and maybe even leave the house can be huge accomplishments.

Chronic disease just WEARS at you. There is something about knowing that your disease will always be there... better, worse, or in transition, it's there waiting for another flare-up... that just sucks the will right out of you sometimes. ***hug***

wow, i dont' know anyone with crohns. i did my research, of course, but there's just not a lot out there. so, all i know is the bare bones, and what my doc chooses to share with me.
he's the only one in town that specializes in this, and of course he's one of the only people i know who really doesn't like me. he thinks i'm fat and lazy and undisciplined. most people like me, or at least warm up to me. it's been years. still iceburg city.

could you do me a favor, please? i know you're a busy woman and all, but next time you see him, ask him if he has any advice, life experience, what have you, that i could use? it's hard, 'they' say that it's not a lifestyle choice, it's not genetics...and stress can bring it on, and pills, if you take all of them, will help. (i've learned not to buy cheap toilet paper, even tho we go thru tons and tons, keep hemeroid cream by the toilet, and a throw up bowl by the toilet, the bed, and my chair, keep reading material in the bathroom, and try to get enough sleep) i mean, does he get really tired all the time, even when he's getting better? i'm sorry, i just have tons of questions. *'.'*
i've got one pal who insists if i eat only bland, it will all go away. my experience says otherwise. it's not what i eat. it's my innards have a mind of their own.
thanks for understanding...well, we did know you had a big ole heart, i mean, that's who you are.
