Society & Culture - 19 September 2006

Honestly for the past 8 years I have been married to a stoner. I turned into one after a few years and now I am a full on addict. Funny thing is, that I quit once a week, trying to sober myself up because I know it is wrong. Well I am in the middle of another sobering up try and I hate life right now. I hate my man for turning me down this path and I hate myself for going along with it. I live with him and my 2 wonderful straight A kids, (amaxing huh)_ yes my kids always meant the world to me. Now that my kids are school age I am trapped with this druggie and every time I try to sober up he is dragging me back and cannot get quality work Someone rescue me. Help me live while I go to school and make something of myself. Sure some of you will be unsympathetic but someone out there knows where I am. HELP ME!!! My only talent in the whole world is being a good mom.

I am 55 years old, married with one son, aged 25, employed and living separately.

I wake up at 6 in the morning. At 6:30, I am out with my bicycle for a 45 minutes vigorous ride to the beach and back home.

At 8, I have the second cup of tea of the day and go through two newspapers.

I have my shower at 8:45 and breakfast at 9:00.

I work from home, and I am at my desk at 9:15

At 1:00 I have my lunch and lie down for 30 minutes reading news paper. A short while later, I doze off.

After a half hour siesta, I have my tea and am back at my desk at 3:00 PM.

I work until 6:00 and then I go to a near by swimming pool for a 45 minute vigorous swim.

At 7:30 in the evening, I begin to have my whisky on my bedroom balcony. My wife and I talk about the day during that time. I also make a few phone calls to my friends.

By 10:00, I have had 240 ml of whisky, I am reasonably tipsy and have my dinner. At 10.30 I am off to sleep. Thanks to the whisky, the moment I put my head on the pillow, I go off to sleep.

I seldom watch TV.

On Wednesdays, I go to my Rotary Club meeting. After the meeting, I drink with my fellow Rotarians and discuss mainly politics.

Once a week, I meet my friends – one is a doctor and other is a professor - over a drink and come back home in time to go to sleep.

I used to go to my club twice a week, but now I don’t go much because I do not find the conversation there interesting. I find being with my wife more enjoyable.

I do not like travelling.

I have a beautiful garden, and gardening is my hobby. It gives me great happiness.

I enjoy good health.

Now, what would you call this sort of lifestyle, boring or interesting?

1 Timothy 2:11-13
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

Que se arruinen los canales de noticias
Con lo mucho que odio la television
Que se vuelvan anticuadas las sonrisas
Y se extingan todas las puestas de sol
Que se supriman las doctrinas y deberes
Que se terminen las peliculas de accion
Que se destruyan en el mundo los placeres
Y que se escriba hoy una ultima cancion

Pero que me quedes tu
Y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui
Despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
Porque yoooo, yoo si, si
Que dependo de ti
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida

Que desaparezcan todos los vecinos
Y se coman las sobras de mi inocencia
Que se vayan uno a uno los amigos
Y acribillen mi pedazo de conciencia
Que se consuman las palabras en los labios
Que contaminen todo el agua del planeta
O que renuncien los filantropos y sabios
Y que se muera hoy hasta el ultimo poeta

Pero que me quedes tu
Y me quede tu abrazo
Y el beso que inventas cada dia
Y que me quede aqui
Despues del ocaso
Para siempre tu melancolia
Porque yoooo, yoo si, si
Que dependo de ti
Y si me quedas tu
Me queda la vida...

This so-called "peaceful" Islamic religion again is raising it's fists in anger around the world for what you already know the Pope quoted in one of his addresses.
Is the Muslim faith simply made up of fanatics who want to kill off other religions and their "infidels" in the name of Allah?
Why are these people so crazed and fanatical?
Aren't they provoking a holy war with their attacks on other cultures and religions?

...Why so many homosexuals insist that I am going to fail at being celibate?

Why do they assume that I'm just going to snap one day and run off to find a female lover?

(Many people who answered my last question posted their answers before they read my EDIT that spoke of my own experiences. Just so you know.)

Do you believe that satan can read our minds? I was told he couldn't,so I now pray to God silently so as not to tip him off to what I'm saying.Satan intrudes enough in our lives.I like to think that he can't hear what's being said during my prayers,because that's my special time with God,and satan has no place in that conversation.

We are Christians and just moved 5 wks ago to a new home 35 miles away from the old one. My oldest boy who is a high school junior HATES his new school. Our other 4 kids are ambivalent about their new schools. Now my wife wants to take the oldest boy back to his old school (35 miles away) to complete his last 2 years there, because she thinks he will do much better. This is tearing our family apart! Please offer considerate Christian, Biblical advice if you can.
