Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 could you please give an up-date on this?? thank you AB Asking for prayers All, I wanted to let everyone know about two of our friends and families that need your prayers during a very difficult time. Tumlin ( Beth's daughter ) is in the hospital here in Atlanta. She was doing not doing well over the weekend but is improving as I write this. She has multiple stapf infections which , as of yet, are slowly responding to antibiotics but are , hopefully, responding much better now. is due to have surgery this afternoon at 2 pm to surgically replace her G-tube which is one of the focal points of the staph infection. I spoke with Beth just a little while ago and actually spoke to via speaker phone. Beth said a HUGE smile came upon 's face when I sent love and prayers . Beth asked that I ask all of you to please continue to send your prayers. She asked that I convey that phone calls are a little problematic for her to receive right now because is in isolation and Beth remains as close to her room as possible while trying not to miss the doctor. The other family is the Pollard's. Pollard is the President- Elect of The Arc of Georgia and her daughter , is very ill and has to be put back on the ventilator this morning. She is on heavy meds to restrict the seizure activity as this has been most problematic . Please send your prayers to this family in Carrollton as well . I will update on both families as soon as I can, Bowen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 You, Shayla Rae, and your whole family will be in our prayers. Sharon H. Mom to , (14, DS) and , (10) South Carolina asking for prayers Hi, I'm asking for prayers for my 5 month old foster daughter. We took her to the Dr. on Tuesday for about the 10th time with concerns about her head size... but this time she also had other symptoms so I could push for a check for hydrocephalus. They sent us to the hospital for a CTscan and it showed the hydro was caused by a brain tumor. The babies head is 13 cm.. on Wednesday they went in and removed a tumor that is 10 cm. It is cancerous. Her options for treatment are limited, but there are some that they are going to try, once they get all tests back. She is also showing signs of possible seizure activity, which is not surprising for several reasons. At this point she is still heavily sedated for pain, and on a ventilator. Please pray that she is as pain free as she can be. We were fortunate that the birthmother gave us permission to have her baptized and we did that yesterday. Please pray for Shayla Rae.

" Irony is incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result. I'm not sure what you mean when ask if my request for compassion towards, and prayers for, those who may have friends and family in Minneapolis revealed an 'irony of life.' Are you saying that because Tom doesn't answer the phone in the middle of the night thereby avoiding wakes and funerals is somehow undeserving of compassion when his sister may be dead because of the tragedy in Minneapolis yesterday? I hardly see hwo the two are connected other than a 'death' reference. Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus answered that they had done no more or less wrong than anyone else, that the lesson should be that we don't know what the future holds and should live our lives well because we never know when it may be ended and we will be called to account for our lives. I think this was the case here. The bridge was neglected and dangerous. This was known for two years or so but nothing of substance was done about it. So, naturally, it collapsed and people died.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I looked it up. " Irony may also arise from a discordance between acts and results, especially if it is striking, and seen by an outside audience. Irony is understood as an aesthetic evaluation by an audience, which relies on a sharp discordance between the real and the ideal, and which is variously applied to texts, speech, events, acts, and even fashion. All the different senses of irony revolve around the perceived notion of an incongruity, or a gap, between an understanding of reality, or expectation of a reality, and what actually happens. There are different kinds of irony. For example: Tragic (or dramatic) irony occurs when a character on stage or in a story is ignorant, but the audience watching knows his or her eventual fate, as in Shakespeare's play Romeo and t. Socratic irony takes place when someone (classically a teacher) pretends to be foolish or ignorant, to expose the ignorance of another (and the teaching-audience, but not the student-victim, realizes the teacher's plot). Cosmic irony is when a higher being or force interferes in a character's life, creating ironic settings. " Tom says: I hate my extended family, so if the phone rings in the middle of the night I ignore it, and that works well. You avoid a lot of funerals and wakes when you don't bother to find out whether or not someone has died. To me it sounds as 'cosmic irony' that fast after he write that, something like the bridge can happen to his sister. " ... <snip> ...

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 J'ai mis les mots de cette façon pour que tu puisse comprendre la différence entre 'extended family' et 'sister' car il me semble que tu ne pouvais pas y comprendre. Quand on écrit de cette façon, cela n'est pas toujour pour crier pour mettre l'emphase sur certains mots. Je sais depuis longtemps que tu vis a l'étranger. La soeur de n'est pas la famille prolongé mais membre da sa famille d'origine. L'ironie est que tu ne comprends pas la différence mais tu continue à pousser l'idée que l'ironie existe quand même. Les autochtones de l'Amérique du Nord savent comment se faire comprendre en français aussi bien qu'en anglais. Si c'est plus facile de continuer en français, cela me parvient, yoeran.

I am always impressed with the accurate information you provide to the forums as well as the manner in which you discuss topics. And even if you hadn't taken French in high school, I get the impression that you know quite a bit about how language is created and you would be more than able to decipher another language given the time to do so. :-) Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
