To all my DIS friends who have lost loved ones..

[Planogirl]

Oh my Deb, that is intriguing!

Eros, I'm not sure exactly what happens when we die but I do have my own beliefs and I don't think that we simply turn into dust. I also believe that expecting an afterlife is very comforting for many people and your theories threaten that comfort in a way. Life is very complex and often difficult so I think that any comfort we can find is a good thing.

Just some thoughts. Lovely quotation by the way.

RNMOM, if you're RIGHT, and some of my DIS "buddies" end up following me to HELL , then I hope that they aren't among the members who have me on their IGNORE LIST . Gee, I'd hate to be IGNORED............for ETERNITY .......

Deb, I am sorry to here of your BIL accident. Amazing story about his travels... wow. I grew up on a farm, saw many farmers as patients in PT, always at least one auger accident a year..( in fact my dad almost lost both hands in a combine accident) Farmers are pretty tough fella's, I am sure your BIL is too. I hope his recovery is swift and complete as possible.
BTW:
Does anybody think that Eros could EVER be ignored??

 

[RNMOM]

NO! Eros could not be ignored Mamajoan.

Eros is the spice in our lives.

 

[Doctor P]

A beautiful sentiment, RNMOM. Thanks.

RNMOM - that holds true for me - I find myself talking to the stars when they are out - helps me feel better sometimes.

In fact, for me it's gotten to the point where I'll read something in a thread and think....uh-oh...EROS is gonna have something to say about THAT!

 

[Disney Doll]

Sure he can, mamajoan and RNmom!!!

 

[RNMOM]

You know folks, I bet Eros is just a big puppy dog of a guy that wouldn't hurt a fly. He just likes to make us think he is a difficult fellow.

 

[cotye]

Very nice.

In the future though, use the term INUIT . Eskimo is not an appropriate term.

An Eskimo legend:

"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

Thanks for this legend RNMOM. It's a happy thought and surely will comfort someone who has lost someone they love.

Cotye, I did not know that "Eskimo' was not PC.. Can you tell me how to pronounce INUIT? What is it's origin. Thanks for the info. Joan

 

[cotye]

Joan, no worries. It's pronounced. IN-YOU-IT. HTH!!

I just know I've been corrected myself a few times by my own friends.

 

[RNMOM]

Coyote,

I wrote it word for word from the catalog and am not responsible for the use of the word eskimo.
