I am not one that normally posts on this board. I have been through things that , at the time seemed insurmountable. As if there was no escape. I have one sister who works at a church and is "born again." I have always been of the more logical mind. I have known many that find strength/peace/comfort through religion and belief in something greater. To me it seemed more of a "let me just give into passing off my problems to something else" rather than taking a time out and letting things settle. I had started to read the bible, went to several different churches to see how it felt and experience things I was possibly missing out on. I can't buy into much of the religious dogma, and that if you aren't this or that you are going to hell. For me when things are tough I look to what I have done, try to find my potential and look at the people that surround me (family, friends). I find what I am looking for more there, than from an ethereal entity. Know some of the uber religious right will say that God surrounded you with those people etc. Perhaps, I don't know. But I have seen so much pain in others, in the world, the hate that religion can bring and the best explanation I hear is "God works in mysterious ways." Sorry but that's not good enough. I could care less about religion. I care more about doing the better & right thing. Anyway, it's my two cents, maybe only worth one. Don't actively try to look for something. Butters is right, it will find you if it's meant to be.

No other country really follows the rules, why should we be bound to them? Torture,etc is a by product of war. it happens, we just created the rules to make us feel better and claim that it dosn't happen, when we know it does, and always will be used. People are pussies

I can't leave my door open as I have air con on at night. I might have to yell at her and tell her No. I had an issue with her biting me on my bum when I went to the toilet a while ago. I would get up to go to the toilet and she would follow me and then when I was on the toilet seat, she would jump up and bite me on my ass. After the third night in a row I yelled at her "Mocha NO" and she stopped. When she wakes me tonight just to run off I will try telling her firmly NO.
sorry, that was me. Couldn't help it.  they have an motion-sensing sprayer for cheap that you can put at your door at night and if she comes close it will sparay water and that can detract her from doing the behavior. Or really try to tire her out before you go to bed.
