Personally, I just love 'em to death, in a manner of speaking, by acknowledging they are there and giving them my full, undivided attention. They will eventually get what they need or more than they bargained for and move on. This may not be the route that others take, but it has been effective in my experience.

Thank you Cheya for your wisdom and being a good sounding board. Your service has been greatly valued and I will truly miss you being part of the team _/\_

I am of the suspicion that it takes 15 minutes for the software to update and a person to be completely logged out in some cases, purely based on the system refresh of online users. I have never been able to replicate this, but I rarely log out; I just close tabs or shut my laptop. 95 users are online (in the past 15 minutes)

Damn...

Happy to have you; welcome to the bums.

Whether it is your death or another's the best thing to do is to get on board. Take charge of the situation for yourself or for the way the dying person wants it to be. You can not change the process, but you can change the environment in which you or another person spends their last few months, days or hours on this earth. BE the advocate for yourself or your loved one. Talk, talk a lot about dying. Be in it, BE in the process, be in the process in that every moment you are connected, and know you can not ever escape it. Much love to you and yours.

Well, hate to say it, but until we see an uptick in new members posting and sharing in the manner you suggest, we will continue to do things the way they have been paved out for us by our owner and past mod teams. There is no loss of control here at this point and I do not foresee there being one. The sky is not falling, so there is no need to panic.

Please know that until you walk a mile in the shoes of a moderator or admin here you will have no idea the amount of time, research and pages and pages of discussion we have had on these types of things, past and present. Some of the things you have reported are hard to moderate. We are not the thought police and we try to do right by everyone, allowing everyone to have an opinion and state them here within reason. There has been a recent suspension, and there will be more or even bans should folks persist. We do our very best to uphold the cafeteria style of forum that this place was founded to be. It is not an easy task. My apologies if you feel we are failing. We are only human.

I can tell you for certain that if another thread is started on the subject it will be shut down without discussion. It is better that folks agree to disagree, or take the discussion elsewhere. It has not place on TDB.

No, I do not believe you have missed a thing. I'd say you are well informed, even if by proxy.

Oh, please do pardon me and my ignorance, your Highness. Please understand I am just a lowly, uneducated woman wishing for you to bestow just a wee portion of your infinite wisdom upon me. Please forgive the error of my ways. I shall beg, crying and wailing in sackcloth and ashes until I have been forgiven for synonymizing unlawful as illegal. If it should please you, I am providing a reference from whence I drew my conclusions about the words in question. Full Definition of unlawful 1: not lawful : illegal 2: not morally right or conventional http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unlawful It is not xenophobic to deport immigrants whom are breaking the laws of this country through criminal acts or by being here illegally, nor is it unlawful or immoral to preserve the resources this country has for its citizens and law abiding immigrants. I am all for, as is, Trump, anyone who wants to be here and to make a better life for themselves and their families, but there are proper channels in which to do so, and coming over on a visa and just saying because they like it here better is not the way. No one has spoken of a mass round up, akin to some form of ethnic cleansing via deportation, during this election cycle like you are suggesting, but it is so like you to take every statement to the Nth degree. I am really not surprised. It is you who takes a simple question to a whole other level with pompous opinions and your perpetual condescending tone throughout this thread and others. You might want to pull up on your intellect a bit, your contempt is showing, rails.

You are the only one one TDB. The quoted text was from a member on dharmawheel, who has the screen name Wayfarer. http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=23396

Can you please point me to a state or federal law that states it is illegal to deport people in this country illegally?

Sticks and stones...

Mine too

We all already know that every problem we face in the US is the fault of the Republican party. No need to remind us, we have heard it for years now.

The Arizona ANG was stationed at the border for quite a while. They were not allowed to detain immigrants that crossed over, they were not allowed to do a damn thing. They were ordered to call in the sighting and nothing more. Their orders were to evade contact all together even if it meant them abandoning their posts if immigrants stayed in their proximity. The Obama administration tied the hands of our military protecting our border. I would hope that in the future if we are going to have boots on the ground burning up resources that they are allowed to act and detain immigrants before they make it too far into the States.

Is there not already a wall from California to New Mexico? I seem to recall seeing something rather large and long in the distance on several drives through those states. Do you not make it that far south in your travels?

Not necessarily, but you're going to belive what you wish. Don't knock it until you try it.

Then my best suggestion is to begin a practice that will help you to remove your current energetic blocks and do some self healing. I am happy to work with you on healing the energetic as well as the physical, but until you do some clearing on your own it is not likely to be effective, hence my coconut oil advice.

I got it now. Thank you.

We talked about this before. Coconut oil and gentle scrubbing with a washcloth will help to descale and moisturize it alleviating some of the itch. I do this for my son who gets eczema spots when he swims too much in chlorinated water, and it helps tremendously.
