1) don't be such a Debbie downer...
I didn't say anything even slightly downer-ish. Perhaps you read into my post and saw what you expected to see instead of what I wrote? All three questions were legitimate questions with not a bit of downer.

I apologize for that... I was tired and took a nap right after I posted that... My bad. >_<

Too many people being judgmental about tattoos lately. Drives me crazy.

Im sorry for calling you a Debbie downer... Could you ever forgive little ole Littlebit? :(

So I just got home and found a Luna Moth on my house. I've never seen one, so I had no idea what it was... I thought a huge leaf was stuck to the house lol. I guess it's rare to see an adult Luna Moth because they only live for a week, and they supposedly only fly at night, so I'm really surprised that I saw this.


Pokeball, catch it catch it!


Leviticus 19:28 ESV:
You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD.

:rolleyes:

Tattoos on other people don't bother me, but I don't have any desire for one myself..
Same here lol. I would put stickers on my skin, maybe, but I'm not a big fan of tattoos.

At least mine support my faith in Jesus... And the other is in support of Suicide Awareness... But to each their own.
I don't judge. :) I leave that part to the Lord. There are many who say that scripture is no longer valid, or taken out of context, or doesn't really refer to tattoos as they are today...:rolleyes:

My car ran out of gas last week on a toll road. Really, no stretch of road in a populated area should go 23 miles with no exits for fuel! It was pretty cool though... I knew it was going to happen. I was driving REALLY slow in the hope of making it to the exit that the toll worker told me about. I was almost there when my Prius started making all sorts of noise and then just quit accelerating. I was able to get to the exit ramp just using the electric battery (which will go 12 miles per hour), and then coast to the light at the end. We (my daughters and I) were then able to get out and push the car through a traffic light, down a side street and to a gas station.

Everyone at the station cheered for us as we rolled in. It was awesome. :rolleyes:

I'm just so amazed though, that God allowed us to run out of gas right at the exit for the first gas station we'd seen in 23 miles. He is my Provider and is generous in all his dealings with me!

(And yeah... next time I will fill up BEFORE it gets so low.)

1) We live in New Covenant times - it no longer applies, 2) That verse is often taken out of context, 3) Tattoos were very different back then.

Glad you guys are safe. Good work and thanks Lord.

I'm fine with meaningful tattoos like the one littlebit got. I know someone who has a tattoo to remember his deceased brother. Another idea is a wedding ring tattoo. But dislike lots of tattoos all over the body without REAL meaning. Don't judge people on it though just wouldn't reccomend it. My ten cents worth anyway :)

Of course looking at tattoos it's hard to determine what has meaning and what doesn't. What may appear, to you, to have no meaning at all, may hold a great meaning to another.
But the casualty of tattoos is what has brought about a lot of meaningless tattoos, such as tribal tattoos of the 90s. But the upside of them becoming more commonplace is the artists/palors started having their practices more focused on and held to higher standards and accountability, making them safer.
What's funny is where they used to be restricted to mostly military and criminals, ironically, they have now become commonplace and even many businesses who would not have allowed them before have had to learn to accept them on their employees.

I've always liked the idea of a wedding ring tat. Not that I would do it, unlikely lol, but I know that I wouldn't want to wear an actual ring all the time. I would find it uncomfortable.

Hmm, reminds me of a certain relative of mine. We tease her that she is trying to wean her car off gas, because she keeps the tank low and only adds a few gallons at a time. The stress of always worrying about making it to her destination has to be cutting years off her life. :p

I remembered to take my vitamins yesterday! I know big deal. I have to have my blood tested every other month and last time I went my Iron was really low again and my Magnusium (sp) too. Mostly because I forget to take my vitamins. My doctor was irritated. I'm trying not to irritate him again.

I may throw up I'm quite congested with a sinus headache and frankly its 3 am I'm kinda down about this but it brings me back to reality Jesus didn't promise a bed of roses but in heaven the thought of that right now something comforting with spiritual struggles I'd really want to lay on them but then they have thorns . it seems a bit unusual cause youd ruin all the pretty flowers so maybe not but anything comforting right now would . I vouch for teddy bears when you're really sick with whatevrr for young women and guys if their brave enough its actually comforting . for chicks this may sound unusual but when they're sick even cuddling a rabbit etc can be comforting of course I'm thinking a massive stuffed animal or small scale rabit or bear I don't why oh and I and I m sure there's some young adult women if they read this saying ' aww how cute I want one' but idk why but the small teds and rabbits have to to males it fits their cuteness haha I don't feel so down now. Oh and a question you moms might be able to help me out or pops I guess you might not too
the fevers one can get with sinus/ tension headaches are short bursts of fever but I feel really hot im going to buy an ear themometer but if its say 41 deg cell im not to be worried about thst right? Because its not continuous Like a common fever just short bursts or should I keep a check on it?

Sounds like you have a Sinus infection. I would call a doctor. For some relief do you have a netti pot to clean out the gook with? If not they sell saline water in spray form that helps. If it were me i'd see a doctor.
