Thanks, Jason. I didn't have that link to the Basics Collection and it's going to be very useful to me. I appreciate it. :)

I thought this was very well said too: "If you are causing an Altzheimer's patient emotional pain by reminding them of things that they are soon going to forget because of dementia, you are harming them. If you do it out of a mistakenly doctrinaire…

Hi John and Verity, Welcome! It's lovely to meet you.

Sorry I missed your birthday, Les. I hope it was a wonderful one! :D

True, but I really don't want to. Something that big coming out of 'the area'...? It's all so....ugh......unnatural. But if I did ever witness a birth I know I'd cry in the end. Happy tears. The person below me has no problem with the whole 'givi…

Welcome everyone! Denise, Inception is my favourite movie right now too. It'll probably stay at the top of my list for a very long time. It was absolutely incredible. LOVED it. :)

Wow! There are a lot of threads like this in the past few days. Must have something to do with the ending of the year and the beginning of a new one, or something.

Happy New Year, Tristram30. I would love to be in beautiful Wales right now. I miss it so. :)

I don't know what the truth is but I think it helps me understand the rebirth issue better when I read threads like this. Right now I tend to see things pretty much the same way Caz does but I wanted to add a small personal note to something thickpa…

True and I don't expect that to change. The person below me loves candlelight and a warm fire in the fireplace.

Hi buchy, I'm very happy with Buddhism because it was not too long ago that I believed it was too hard for me to live in this cruel world. I suffered intensely. I had a broken heart and a broken body and the way I viewed these things made me suffer…

That was GREAT! Loved it! So funny. Thanks, genkaku.

I had a boyfriend when I was a teenager with profound facial tics (Tourettes was ruled out) and he eventually overcame them with hypnotherapy. I missed the tics but I never told him that. They were incredibly endearing.

I follow the Thai Forest Tradition but Chogyam Trungpa's teachings really helped me in many areas (especially for panic disorder) and I still read Pema Chodron because she teaches me a lot too. I have a warm spot for the Shambhala tradition. Not all…

Even though I haven't been a Christian for many years I still love the idea of Christmas in the seasonal sense; the snow, the holiday from school for kids, the decorations and coloured lights, the music. I have wonderful Christmas memories from my c…

False because....... .....the person below you hopes you don't have to go to school today because it's your BIRTHDAY!!! Unless you want to go to school to see your friends. The person below me is secretly watching a televangelism show.

Did you work at FTD, Takeahnase?

Hi Ermine, This is a sticky issue but always a good one to discuss because of it's importance and because we'll all have to face some aspect of it in our lifetimes. It seems to me that we're meant to think very carefully about it because to refrai…
