I refuse to get into an argument over this. She is a counselor and is also an ordained "Pastor" but doesn't Pastor. And I don't have to defend my decision to go to her and ask her that either. You can see things your way, and I'll respectfully see things mine.

On the other hand........and in all fairness to the initial topic of this thread.......... I remember a long time ago going to my Pastor's wife and asking her if she thought that masturbation is wrong. She thought for a moment and didn't speak right away. She then looked me in the eye and said, "I don't believe that it's wrong if you are doing it out of necessity. If people do it out of addiction, then it's wrong, as is any addiction. But if someone needs a release, then I don't see how it is wrong." And in all fairness to what Paula said about sex supposed to be between a husband and wife to enjoy.....I totally agree. That is what SEX is for. But beyond that, I believe that if a husband or wife is so horny and wound up when their partner isn't around, that it is better for them to pleasure themselves, then to go to someone else outside of the marriage. That's just my opinion. I know that I would personally rather see my husband take care of his own needs when I'm not here to do that for him, then to go to another woman to have his needs met. To flip side of that.....I had better be taking care of his needs, and he mine, when we ARE together. That's part of the marriage package. Alright. I'll get off of MY soapbox now. Peace out.

Jacilyn - Do not be sorry about anything! I am openly a Christian as well! I have been healed of Lupus and Pericarditis and it is well known on here, as well as everywhere else, that I give God/Jesus/Holy Spirit all of the glory, honor, and praise for that!!! I know that HE healed me, because those things don't just take care of and heal themselves. I am also saddened that not everyone believes in Him, and have personally seen and experienced waaaaay too much to know that He is indeed real. But on the other hand, I also know that I cannot push my beliefs on others, and I respectfully live it (walk the walk) instead of cramming it down other people's throats. (Not saying anyone is doing that here, just saying what I try to live.) I try to not judge others, and to love them for who they are and where they are at. (Not saying anyone here judges others, just saying what I personally try to do/not do.) I will quit now while I'm ahead.

Oh dear sweet divine ice cream! Yeee-uuuuuuuuum!!!!!!! Not to steal anything away from Oscar Meyer - but.... Oh...I love to eat it everyday, and if you ask me why I'll say...... My icey cream it has a way of bringing me smiles each and every day. (Oh that's bad! Oh so bad of me!!!)

So glad that he is treating you well. And congrats that you are only 20 pounds from goal! How exciting!

Whoa! It's Jack de-mystified!!!

Cute toesie woesies!

Thank you very much Michelle! I got the emails confirming you as a customer, and also showing your order. You are appreciated! P.S. If for some reason anyone doesn't like something that they order, Watkins offers a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. They are such an awesome company to work for!

I don't think that it's a matter of Him not wanting you to use your gifts at all. He gave them to you, so use them girl!!! You have such a gift to bring joy to others, and use it you do!!! There's nothing in my bible that says you can't use your gifts, as a matter of fact it says that he who buries his talents instead of using them is a fool! So I would venture to guess that He's very proud of you for using what you've been given!!! And, er, as far as not being able to use vibrators? It's all good there too! The bible only talks about not sleeping with anyone outside of marriage, not using vibrators. I think it's a safe bet that we can all continue to pleasure ourselves without remorse. *cheeky grin*

Those Snickerdoodle Cookies are pretty dang good BTW! I got some last year around C-mas time and they are excellent with a little cinnamon added in too!!! Watkins has WAAAAAAAAY too much good food to choose from.

Wow. I'd definately call the office back and let them know to book you before the end of the year if they can. I would think that if you explain your situation politely to them, then they should be able to help you out. Good luck & keep us posted!

Who said opposites can't get along?!?! LOL

You like so much like your mama Paula!!! And look at how big AnneMarie is getting!!! Oh my goodness!!! And BeBe is looking adorable, as usual. Your kids are all adorable!

I say to do what YOU feel comfortable with. If you want to wait a while and are fine with where you're at right now, then wait. You have to do what makes YOU happy. And in the words of Forest Gump - "And that's all I have to say about that." *grin*

Yeah! Faces faces everywhere!!!! It's so good to see the faces behind the names!!!

Hope you have a safe and fulfilling journey! Please return to us safely!

I agree! Let's see those faces!!!

So sorry to hear this. May time heal all of your wounds, and may hope and peace fill your heart.

I'm printing it out right now. Even if they don't have one to fit me, my husband can always use a free shirt.

I always get the 8th Continent brand. I usually buy the chocolate flavor just for a little something different.

Don't you think that we all find different things attractive or "sexy"? I know that when I watch my husband play with our son, that makes me VERY attracted to him. I love seeing his caring and sweet side come out. Or when he gets playful with me and starts tickling or says something cute, that's very attractive to me too. I'm not real big into the whole world view of what "sexy" is either, as far as having to be a size 3 or having to have luscious full lips or a curvy flat body. I see other things as being much sexier than those other outward things. A pure heart that's full of love means more to me than the "sexiest" man alive.

Wow!!! What a difference in everyone's pictures!!! Paula girl.....you look amazing!!!! And yes Trishie, I can see a difference in your face big time! Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Sachi is so PRECIOUS!!!!!! I love Voo too, but Sachi is such a pretty girl!!!!!

Since I am feeling particularly unsexy right now, this is a good thread for me to jump in on. I hate my feet, because my left one is puffy. The doctors don't know why, but it's been that way for the last 5 years. I'll pick my eyes. I think I have great eyes.

Thanks for all of the pics. You all certainly had a great time, and Jenna, you are SO adorable!!! I can see by the ingredients in the toxic tea that it really is toxic. LOL Sorry ladies, but I think I'll pass. Take care & glad you all had such a great time!
