CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IJWTS - Josh had what I thought was just a bad mosquito bite...I put a bandage on it lastnight cause it was starting to blister. I picked him up from summer camp today and he said it was hurting so I peeled off the bandage...OH MY GOSH he had a huge bubble on his leg the size of a grape. After I was done being in horrified shock, I said "OK, we're going to the doctor NOW" lol. Oh, it was so gross, it was oozing and gigantic and about to burst 
So we ran to the local walk-in clinic and the nurse very gently and nicely (before Josh could ask what she was doing) popped it and drained it. But was that the end of it? Noooo. He's also got a poison-ivy-ish rash on his face and legs! So he's got a big bandage on his leg and we have a tube of Cortizone-10...
And we've got our trip tomorrow. Prayers, please!!

Ha! ThanksI must say that my son is delightfully easy to care for, though.
I've had anxiety issues most of my life. It's hard to say what the thoughts are "about" because they're usually irrational and random. Sometimes the thought of being scared is what scares you; figure that one out! When I'm going anywhere far away from home, I think about things like, what if I have an asthma attack, what if I'm allergic to something that I'm around while I'm there, what if I don't feel well and I want to leave and I can't (there's being scared of being scared again), stuff like that. And I know, logically, the overwhelming likelihood is that I'll go and be fine and come home in one piece. That's what I hold onto and helps me remain able to venture far from home. I get angry at the thought that fear is going to steal my life from me, and the anger helps me fight back.
IJWTS I understand, believe it or not.
I get nervous like that, too. I just pack whatever I can to prevent any life-threatening events (I'm highly allergic to insect stings and have to be rushed to the ER if I get stung around the head or neck) and then pray like crazy. I'm sorry that it gets the better of you sometimes...praying that your fears will subside.

They thought it was an insect bite or sting of some kind, but couldn't really give a solid guess. Oh man it was the grossest thing I've seen in a long time, lol. It literally looked like someone had glued a green grape to his leg.
Thanks for the prayers!

IJWTS We're going to PA to visit an amusement park with some family that we almost never get to see.
IAWTS Josh's popped blister keeps oozing more and more puss He used up the bandage the Dr put on, then I put on a big Band Aid and it went right through that, so I had to run out to the store at 9:30 at night and get some gauze. Gack. He also has this habit of sleeping with his favorite blanket over his head, and he can't do that with the rash, so I have to keep pulling the blanket off and he fights me in his sleep lol.
I sure hope things are better in the morning.

IJWTS - this is gross, but did a hard core come out when she busted it? My brother had a spider bite that refused to stop oozing until he mashed it a little harder and a rather solid white core popped out. Sorry if that makes you want to puke. :/

She pushed it pretty hard, but it's like, this dark spot surrounded by a cluster of small blisters; even with the ginormous one popped I can still see the smaller ones and the black center is still there. I asked her what it was and she just shrugged. Big help! I don't think Josh would let me poke at it cause it's pretty painful.

Sounds like my brother's spider bite. The black part ended up being dried blood and it was on the white core part.
Poor Josh.

Well, if it bubbles up again, we'll head to his pediatrician. I just pray God heals it so Josh can relax and have fun tomorrow instead of worrying about it. He's a bit of a worrywart. Not to mention the gross factor lol.
I knew I shouldn't have let him go crawling around in the bushes at Grandma's house! Bug bites and poison whatever...oy veh!
I'm just prayin'.

Sorry to hear about all of the trouble Josh is having, Ink. Will be praying! That doesn't sound fun at ALL. I'm highly allergic to poison ivy so I feel his pain there!

IJWTS: I went to a viewing for an old friend's mom tonight. I hadn't seen him in several years. It was awkward at first given the circumstances but we talked awhile. His mom had a massive heart attack and died on the 3rd. She was only 56. That's the second viewing I've had to go to this week.
IAWTS: on the positive side....two former coworkers had babies this week! Both mom's and babies are doing well.

I'm what Willis was talkin' bout.
IJWTS that it seems like in a situation where there has been a death recently, a baby will be near. Life picks up and moves on.
