From the killer's point-of-view, sending one off the Earth forever is one thing, but sending off an individual if you think there is nothing after this life is truly chhhhhilllingggg. I think the average atheist really respects life. Their outlook is the bravest outlook one can have.

The friend feels certain it was a false positive. I'm not buying it. Any experiences in this realm?

The friend put up with it, but when I heard what was happening, it was bad enough that I reported the agency to several state boards. Later, the friend purchased a vehicle in a private sale. Within a week or so, the vehicle started falling apart. I looked up the seller and the seller had a criminal record for things like fraud involving vehicle sales. The same friend recently got established with a medical provider found through their insurance company and was telling me all the things that were happening there that didn't seem right. I looked into the provider and, although he calls himself a doctor, he isn't one. I reported him to the boards. There are more stories like this with this one person, and some, like the vehicle, I can say, "Ok, you should have had the car checked before you bought it and researched the seller," but the job and the non-doctor? Weird.

i.e. Overpopulation is killing the earth. However, populations that are shrinking don't have the resources to care for their elderly. What's the fix here?
That being wearing unused plastic garbage, trash, bin bag/liners as clothing. Also if you like to share any experiences wearing them, please go ahead.Thanks

I was 1 of 2 AutoCad Drafters for a family-owned food service company, doing commercial kitchen floor plan layouts (I graduated in December w/ a BFA in Interior Design, and kitchen design is something I’ve always been interested in).Long story short, I was let go because I didn’t have all the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing knowledge that was needed for the position... but the thing is, they KNEW this when they hired me. And they hired me anyway, with the understanding that they would train and teach me everything I needed to know, acting like it would be no problem whatsoever. Now I’ve been let go for that same reason, with my now ex-boss saying that “the company is falling behind on projects” and, “never in the history of the company have I had to pay to outsource these projects so we can get the mechanical and electrical part done. I’m spending a lot of money and the learning curve is just too big, and I need so... less

One side is very sandy and full of cacti and other such plants that require little water. The other side is irrigated. Every morning, snails migrate across the concrete path toward the water, and dozens are smashed underfoot or under bicycle tires. I have noticed that at the scene of many demised shell-draggers, sometimes a live cousin can be seen camped out in pause of the journey to water works. I never hang out long enough to examine the actual activity taking place because, well, because they do everything so slowly, but it makes me wonder if they're feeding off of the pureed carcasses?~ less
