Not so long ago, with someone I know well, a woman about
60, was ill, with fever and taking antibiotics, and is on
Homehealth, to monitor her health.
The healthcare team treated this woman, very good, being
there, when they were needed, night or day.
While the woman was ill, she needed some help, with
some meal prep, the dishes, and sweeping the floor,
and if needed, to assist with bathing needs.
Normally this woman's health is quite good, and she
can do for herself, but she needed help, so applied
for a Personal Care Assistant to perform the duties
mentioned above.
It took 18 delegated people, 4 agencies, in 4 different
towns, to implement the 1st application, to the last
application, to get the Personal Care person, and
when this person came, she was young, no experience,
didn't know how to Wash Dishes, or sweep good.
The papers said that She can get paid $3.63 for each
unit of time...15 minutes..6 hours a week.
This is about $15+ an hour. Believe this!! I can't!!

I have already tried Christianity and it doesn't sit well with me. It is too difficult for me to be an atheist. I have an attachment to Buddhism and Shinto, but I still want to research other religions in hopes to perhaps see which one seem the most likely and livable. Please suggest religions that are close to nature types. I would like it if you could also give a brief description. Thank You

in the "black community" the reason why schools shootings in the Midwest(and other areas), happen so effortlessly? I mean, if the worry about crime was evenly distributed, would we as American's be better prepared for and notice the warning signs of school shooters?

what would you do if your kid came home from college one day and told you he didn't believe in the bible or qu'ran and had become atheist or agnostic; would you respect their decision? disciple to them? disown them? would your view of them change, or your love for that matter?

Choose to spell foreign words differently when translating from their alphabet to the English alphabet? For example, why do we spell it qua'ran instead of koran. Also why do we spell kung pao chicken instead of kung pow. These languages have no english alphabet so when we translate those "sounds" into the english language, why do we feel compelled to spell them so differently? Are we trying to make them sound more sophisticated? Just curious.

I asked that board but nobody answered. Okay, about 4 years ago I was a Wiccan and converted to Christianity. Since the transition for years I've had this same dream at least once every 2 months and sometimes more. I'm in a room where everything is grey and the only light is from a swiging lightbulb. I hear these weird demons or zombies or something like that talking all around me about how they're going to kidap me and drain me of some power and make me join them. Out of nowhere I scream and jump high and burst with a yellowish light. The demon things all around me burn, and I never fall down. I burst once more, first my hands, then my feet, up my body, and then my head! Then I wake up. I'm desperate because this dream is incredibly real every time and is repeated several times.

She deserves a lot of respect. She may not be a Christian neccessarily but she certainly exhibits the nature of Jesus a lot more than most I know.

Believing in God (and im not talking any religion here, just the fact (or not fact) that we were created) or believing two atoms hit each other and the universe appeared in a bang?

Im just interested in peoples views, wether thiest, athiest or agnostic

beleiving that when a black cat crosses in front of you from left to right is bad luck, and other things associated with luck considered an occult ( or cult ) and therefore a sin?

2007-07-28 14:14:03 · 11 answers · asked by rybka 3 in Religion & Spirituality

I do. I have every reason too. Just look at this Creation. Nothing like that can happen by accident. That would be like pouring a bucket of pain on a canvas and expecting it to become art.

But that's my opinion. What's yours?

im a polish catholic and dont eat meat on fridays, regardless of whether or not its lent because it makes me feel like im making a sacrifice for God and honoring him. I dont get y its mandatory you cant eat meat. It doesnt really offend God whether or not you eat meat, its just something people have different feelings about.

Also, why did they change the rule in the second vatican council that you cant eat meat on any friday? is the church trying to make it easier for us or something or thinks its not important? if its not important then why do we still have it at lent?

whats your view on this?

Why do we put ourselves out for others at our own expense? When does it become necessary to do so? Is it really worth it in the end? Does it mean you will be rewarded later by that person or in some other form? Does it make us better people? And finally, do you do it?

Is it true that paying someone interest on a loan, or earning interest on a financial investment is against Islam? I understand that there are Islamic banks in the middle-east the manage to do things correctly under Sharia law. However, what about muslims in the West? How do they reconcile this issue when they bank (borrow, invest, etc) at western institutions?

What are some affordable (understanding that cost of living is extremely high) and "safe" suburbs to live in around D.C.? I am willing to commute up to about an hour each way but unfortunately I know very little about the area to even get me started. Help!

I'd like to learn Spanish (Mexican), as my daughter is married to a Mexican American. He’s a great guy; his family (Grandparents) came from Mexico and became citizens.

Over the past year, that they’ve been married, I’ve picked up some bits and pieces, but not enough to be well understood, or to be in a conversation. I really want to learn the language well. But I don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a class, if I can find a cheaper alternative.

My wife and I are invited to many of their gatherings, but almost everyone is of Latino descent. Needless to say, when they get together the language naturally drifts to Spanish.

I don’t hold it against them, when my great grand parents (fathers side) got together with people from their local community, they all spoke Gaelic. It’s natural to speak your mother tongue.

My motive to learn Spanish is to be able to participate better and not force everyone to be an interpreter for me. And quite frankly, I’d like to learn something new and useful.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

In the past five years eight of my friends have killed themselves all by hanging. Before this I had only heard of it happening here and there but suddenly it became a common occurrence in my life.

Me being the most intelligent of the group I should have noticed it coming because they would ask me about my thoughts of life, God, love and humans in the week preceding their death. They were making admends with the world and God before leaving here. I can relate considering I attempted suicide myself when I was eight years old and have never felt like I was a part of this world since then, I made my admends with the world thirty five years ago.

Where ever your at have you noticed an increase in suicides in your area of the world? And if so why do you think it's happening?

I'm taking care of my niece for a while due to my brother's family having some troubles. She already has asked me about Halloween a couple of times, and I know I'm going to have her then.

Her famly has a thing where they always make her costumes, but since they can't be with her at the moment, it's up to me. I have no clue what I should even suggest to her. I thought I would ask now so I could have a good idea when she brought it up again.
