Well, to be a little freaky is a good thing, IMO.

Welll.....

So I watched Prayers for Bobby today!
My God what a powerful movie!
Being raised in that atmosphere and still trying to heal from it, I can relate to so much.
It's such a shame it took what it did for the mother to see the light.
I really don't think that a lot of what is being taught in our homes and churches is what Jesus had in mind.

Amen, Brother!

I remember hearing something similar about this girl that craved dirt. She would eat it by the handfuls. I'm wondering if maybe they are lacking some sort of proteins or something and that's why they crave weird things like that. I really don't know.

I remember seeing a story of a woman who compulsively chewed her own hair.  She went to the emergency room in pain, and the surgeon removed a ten pound ball of hair from her stomach.

Both of these are manifestations of a clinical condition known as pica. It can indicate an iron or zinc deficiency.

You can say that twice and mean it!

I've seen that movie, Shasta.  I liked it a lot.

Yeah. It reminded me some of "Prayers for Bobby" except that it focused on all the children rather than only one. They were all affected by their parents' lack of honest emotions or something.

They just re-aired Prayers For Bobby again tonight. I watched it. I've seen it three times now.

What's the weather like down there Shasta? It's terrible here. It's snowing and sleeting and it WON'T STOP!

Some people are even losing their electricity from all the ice coating the tree limbs and the power lines.

I didn't know Popeye died! Did you?

When did that happen?   







Maybe he finally OD'ed on his spinach!

I mean..

I never understood why Popeye and Brutus/Bluto were always fighting over Olive Oyl.

I mean.....geez, she's not even pretty.


 


She must've done "other things"  to be so well liked.........
