Will you give just a little bit to help those less fortunate? Or just turn the other cheek and pretend it is not there? If the people who turn the other cheek would grab 2 cans of food out of the cabinet and donate it to a homeless shelter, many people could eat, even for just one day of their lives. What will you do......

As a senior citizen, do you think this is a good idea?
I might be able to get a 25 year career.
I had a stroke at 29, now I realise that time is a differnt concept to what I thought.
I need some advice from older people, who have life experience.
Thank you.

Many skeptics have claimed that, for Cain to find a wife, there must have been other "races" of people on the earth who were not descendants of Adam & Eve. Do you think there were? If so, who were they?Why is this a stumbling block for many people to accept the creation account in Genesis and its record of only one man and woman with the beginning of history. Is there an answer? Is the reason mentined in the Bible?

Because I am athesist and I personally do not like being, "Under God We Stand". I mean seriously, what if you don't believe in God? I thought school and religon aren't supposd to mix. My friend and I both don't say that part but we still think it should change. Because would't that be like religous discrimination or something?

Comment are welcome.
(so are debates...)

Hospital Cost Cutting Measures
To: All Hospital Staff
From: Adminstration/Groundskeeping
Date: March 23, 2000
Re: New Cost Cutting Measures
Effective April 1 this hospital will no longer provide security. Each charge nurse will be issued a .38 caliber revolver and 12 rounds of ammunition. An additional 12 rounds will be stored in the pharmacy. In addition to routine nursing duties, Charge Nurses will rotate the patrolling of the hospital grounds. A bicycle and helmet will be provided for patrolling the park areas. In light of the similarity of monitoring equipment, ICU will now take over the security surveillance duties. The unit secretary will be responsible for watching cardiac and security monitors as well as continuing previous secretarial duties.

Food service will be discontinued. Patients wishing to be fed will need to let their families know to bring something, or may make arrangements with Subway, Domino's, etc., before meal time. Coin-operated phones will be available in the patient rooms for this purpose as well as for other calls the patient may wish to make.

Housekeeping and physical therapy are being combined. Mops will be issued to those patients who are ambulatory, thus providing range-of-motion exercise as well as a clean environment. Families of ambulatory patients may also sign up to clean the rooms of non-ambulatory patients for special discounts for their final bill. Time cards will be provided.

As you can see in the "FROM" line above, administration is assuming grounds keeping duties. If an adminstrator cannot be reached by calling his/her office it is suggested that you walk outside and listen for the sound of a lawn mower, weed whacker, etc.

Engineering is being eliminated. The hospital has subscribed to the TIME_LIFE "How to..." series of maintainence books. These books can be checked out from administration, and a toolbox will be standard equipment on all nursing units. We will be receiving the series at the rate of one volume every other month. We already have the volume on Basic Wiring, but if a non-electrical problem occurs, please try to handle it as best you can until the appropriate volume arrives.

Cutbacks in the phlebotomy staff will be accommodated by only performing blood-related lab tests on patients who are already bleeding.

Physicians will be informed that they may order no more than two x-rays per patient stay. This is due to the turnaround time required by Revco's photolab. Two prints will be provided for the price of one, and physicians are being advised to clip coupons from the Sunday paper if they want extra sets. Revco's will honor competitor's coupons for one-hour processing in emergency situations, so if you come across any coupons, please clip them and send them to the ER.

In light of the extremely hot summer temperature the electric company has been asked to install individual meters in each patient room, office, etc., so that the electrical consumption can be monitored and appropriately billed. Fans will be available for sale or lease in the hospital gift shop.

In addition to the current recycling program, a bin for the collection of unused fruit and bread will soon be provided on each floor. Families, patients and the few remaining employees are encouraged to contribute discarded produce. The resulting moldy compost will be utilized by the pharmacy for nocosomial production of antibiotics. The antibiotics will also be available for purchase through the hospital pharmacy and will, coincidentally, soon be the only antibiotics listed in the HMO's formulary.

Why do people ask an OBVIOUSLY offensive question and then think that it makes it LESS offensive if they say "no offense"? Personaly I get MORE offended when someone knows they have to say that! Shouldn't we all come to some sort of understanding that : if you have to ask yourself "I wonder if this is going to offend someone?" that MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T SAY IT OR ASK IT? Am I just crazy or is this a real issue?

I know a lot of religious people vote republican simply because they oppose abortion... is that the ONLY thing that you look at (if this applies to you)? Abortions are going to happen whether they are in a clinic OR in the back of an ally. Isn't it up to us, as Americans, to educate people in this area instead of making everything illegal? Just wondering your thoughts :)

87:6-7 We shall make you to recite (the Qur'ân), so you (O Muhammad) shall not forget (it), Except what Allâh, may will, He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.

And there are hadiths where Muhammad admits he forgot about such-and-such a verse, such as:

Sahih al-Bukhari: book 61, volume 6

556. Narrated Aisha: The Prophet heard a man reciting the Qur'an in the mosque and said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him, as he has reminded me of such-and-such Verses of such a Surah."

Volume 6, Book 61, Number 558:
Narrated Aisha:

Allah's Apostle heard a man reciting the Qur'an at night, and said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him, as he has reminded me of such-and-such Verses of such-and-such Suras, which I was caused to forget."

Do you think it's possible he forgot other things and didn't get reminded?

Have a great night.
