Do you ever really stop to ponder your own mortality?

Recent events have caused me to stop and think.... what if.. what if I was killed today?

Wow! What a thought. I am too much of a mess!

Every time I pass a cemetary I cross myself. I pray for the souls that have passed on, but I know this is supposed to help remind me to think of my own mortality.. and I am not very good at doing that. But ... boy I should have been!

If ever I felt an incentive to get my act together it is right now.... thinking of past tragedies like Virginia Tech... of Iraq... of terrorism... of murder...

Here are some quotes I found:

"Death's awful mystery comes upon us suddenly, and soul and body are violently severed, divorced from their natural union by the will of God. What shall we do at that hour if we have not thought of it beforehand, if we have not been instructed concerning this eventuality and find ourselves unprepared?" Holy New Hieromartyr Barlaam

2IO3- + 12H+ ---> I2 + 6H2O
2I- ---> I2

I have these two balanced chemical equations, in each of them I need to find which ions or molecules are:

1. being oxidized
2. acting as an oxidizing agent
3. acting as an reducing agent

I already know that the Hydrogen ions are not oxidized or reduced, just not really sure what happens with the other molecules and ions...
thanks

I was just wondering...because I am making a black wool coat and am looking for black rose buttons, but I cannot find any so I have decided to make some from polymer clay!
Like this:

But could this jacket be washed if it had polymer clay buttons? Or drycleaned?

Thanks for looking ^__^

Why are there so many different religions, when fundamentally faiths such as Jewadism, Islam and Christianity (apologises to other major faiths that I have missed out) are the same in the aspects of:
Believing and praying to one God, acting according on earth to gain rewards in the after life, promoting peace and the final day of judgement. I know that certain things set different faiths apart, but fundamentally aren't they not all the same...so why so many arguments????

I was a member of 360 for about a year and made some good friends on it, but in April left because of issues I had with it. However, I kept in touch with some of the people I met on there and met one of them recently. He said they have meet-ups the 360 people go to and invited me to one next month. If I go, I'll meet all my friends off the site.
However, several of them froze me out after I left, maybe because (being online and never sure about who people are) I pretended to be a bit older than I really am. They know the truth now, but I'm worried if I go then something will be said. On the other hand, my close friends from there really want to meet me and vice versa! What should I do, I'm in such a dilemma.

I met this guy off the internet about 2 weeks ago, we had been chattinf for a year and then finally met, but we ended up sleeping together, it was fantastic, we got on great, he still continued to text me for a week after, and he wanted to meet agaian, but then this week I have heard nothing from him, I have text him and he hasn't replied, plus he is off abroad for a year next month. I don't get why he is suddenly ignoring me, did he use me? if so, why didnt he ignore me straight away? I'm so confused? Has this ever happened to you?
