Please say a prayer for my Uncle Bob who went home to our Lord last
night. He had cancer of the pancreas.
  Would you please also pray for others in my family with cancer, my
sister..with lymphoma, and my cousin Paula.. breast and my best friend
Diane..uterus.
  Prayers to all from me ...
  elesimp     (Laura)

Hi,
I  am having trouble lighting a candle on the site for my sister. She
has cancer and I just wanted to light a candle for her so others may
know and maybe give a little prayer for her.
When I get to the page to light it, all I get is a blank white space
where the candles should be. Am I doing something wrong? I have tried
it on another computer thinking it might just be my computer.

Thanks and loving prayers to all,
elesimp

Hey Stephan!! long time anyways I would like to post this :D it is an
exexcellant cause thanks  forgive the last post :( was an accident


here in Calgary we have the month of october set aside for breast
cancer awareness -- and one of the local radio stations has a "BRAS
FOR THE CAUSE" campaign so the local charity i work for took up the
cause for me (a 11 year survivor) and we collected bras and bras and
more bras -- i was thrilled to go in there with 3 huge sacks -- not so
thrilled to b interviewed but whatever -- looking at this
realistically each one of those bras represents one woman--what a
concept -- and then if u factor in 1 in every 9 women will be affected
by this disease its even more astounding-- so here is my call out to
all my friends i am asking that you send me ALL YOUR BRAS!!!! every
single one you no longer wear your old tired uncomfortable ones the
ones that are collecting dust in the back of your drawers  so that
next october i can present an entire truckload whereas they will
recieve 1$ per bra -- what an amazing feat this would be -- so LADIES
help me out we have till next October to fill a truck

Entry for November 09, 2006
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want
you, nothing can make him stay.

  Stop making excuses for a man's behavior.

  If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a man's character, leave
him alone.

Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant
to be.

  Don't force an attraction.

Slower is better.

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly
happy.

If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you
deserve then heck no you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't
mistreat a friend.

Have faith in God regarding your relationship, but don't let faith
make you stupid. God does things decent and in order.

Don't settle.

If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

If he keeps changing his mind about the relationship-take that as a
BIG sign that he is unstable. Do you really want to be with a man
like that?

Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at
yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.

Honorable men take care of their business and aren't involved in a
whole lot of mess.

  The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

  There's only one 'reason' a man dumps you; he doesn't want you.

  Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different
women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he
treat you any differently?

You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince

  Always put yourself and your happiness first.

  Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

  Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers
you, speak up. That's what you have a mouth for. HELLO!!

  Like from the show Sex and the City, if he doesn't call, he just
isn't that interested.

Be honest and up-front.

Know when to cut the cord, don't be strung along.

Don't fall for the "I'm confused role". Remove yourself from the
situation to let him figure things out (but don't wait for him, move
on)

If you want to have a clue as to how he will treat you, watch how he
treats the WOMEN in his family (not just mom).

There's more than physical abuse, there's emotional and mental
abuse. If he causes any of them ... flee.

You cannot change a man's behaviors. Change comes from within.

Don't let him place rules on you that he is not willing to follow
himself -- double-standard.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are ... even
if he has more education or in a better job.

Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing
less.

Demand respect and if he can't give it, he can't have you!

  Don't compete with other woman, but be aware that men are attracted
to what they see.

If you think he is cheating, he probably is. Confront him right away
and if you feel he's lying, let him go.

Actions speak louder than words.

Never let a man define who you are.

Never rely on a man for compliments, look to yourself for that.

  Never borrow someone else's man.

If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

Just because he says he loves you, doesn't mean that he won't hurt
you and it doesn't mean that you are meant to be with him.

To use painful hard-won wisdom-'get it right' the next time.

  Know that you deserve to be the number one person in the life of
the #1 person in your life.

Love is a verb.

Learn to give up your lifelong task of trying to make someone
unavailable-available, someone ungiving-giving, and someone unloving-
loving.

A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending ... compromise is a
two way street.

If you don't love self...you can't love anyone else.

You cannot mend someone else's broken heart.

You need time to heal between relationships ... there is nothing
cute about baggage .. deal with your issues before pursuing a new
relationship.

  You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you ... a
relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals ... look for someone
complimentary ... not supplementary.

Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

NEVER give more in a relationship than you are getting out of it.

  Never become your man's "therapist".

When actions and words conflict, believe the actions. Respond to the
actions.

A real healthy relationship requires two people. One person can mend
it* but it takes two to make it work.!

Don't fall for the "I'm not the loving type" ... when a man loves
you there is nothing in this world (within reason) that he wouldn't
do for you.

  Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are,
and you're always readily available to him he takes it for granted.

Give him his space...let him go out with his boys, don't pressure
him to spend time with you, You can't force a man to hang out with
you.

If you wouldn't allow your daughter to be with him you shouldn't.

  Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

Never move into his mother's house.

  Provide financially for yourself and don't depend on anyone

  Never co-sign for a man.

Never believe you have the perfect guy and he is so innocent.

Never spoil your man; let him spoil you.

  Never let a man mess up your credit.

When it's time to let go; let go.

Good men should be treated like good men

  Don't play games.

You can't make a whore into a housewife - or husband.

Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you
need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

  Compatibility in terms of educational attainment, values, beliefs,
personal and career goals, and socioeconomic status, are important

  Never date a guy who wears colored contacts.

  Never believe a man who says "that's just my baby momma", you can
be sure, there'll be drama.

  Never believe a man that tells u he want to be with you, while he's
with someone else, - if he wanted to be with you, he would make it
happen more sooner than later.

  Don't be a man's door mat , make him open the door for you, because
a real man would do this on his own.

  Dealings with a married man, most likely wont work out in your
favor.

There is someone out there worthy to be in your life, let out the
trash so he can come in.

be let in?? and why is it the the idiots ahead of me who have been

He was only a child when it begun -and he played as children do- in his yardwith
his toy cars and tip trucksBut his sand was asbestos blue?
   In December 1999, my husband and I were walking home from a game of lawn bowls
when I became aware of his shortness of breath. I was surprised and concerned
when he told me that he had experienced this on several occasions. Believing
this to be due to chest a infection, I made a doctor's appointment for him the
next day.
   Chest X-rays revealed fluid on the lungs, over two litres of which was
drained, giving Brian immediate relief, but it was a tense wait for the
pathology results.Through the Internet I had become aware of several conditions
which may have been responsible for fluid on the lung; these included asbestos-
related diseases. Brian had lived in Wittenoom as a child and I was afraid of
his diagnosis. Not wanting to worry him unnecessarily, I did not mention my
fears to him. I prayed that he had pleurisy or pneumonia but the pathology
results revealed that there were cancer cells present.
   When Brian finally received his diagnosis, my worst nightmare became reality.
He had pleural mesothelioma, a terminal cancer of the lung caused by the
inhalation of asbestos dust. We found it inconceivable that the disease was the
result of Brian inhaling asbestos dust as a child and that it had lain dormant
for forty-five years before become lethal.
   We were still reeling from the shock when, without preamble, the young doctor
gave his prognosis. His exact words were, "Three to nine months, I reckon". That
he could say this so unfeelingly amazed me. His total lack of compassion did not
encourage even the small comfort of tears. I felt as if Brian and I had been
shot and from that moment on we were waiting to drop.
   Undoubtedly, were mortally wounded. We suffered shock, disbelief, anger,
helplessness and utter despair; in fact all the symptoms of grief one feels when
a loved one has actually died. Once again we found ourselves with no control
over our lives. This time however, there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Our journey through terminal illness had begun.

Mesothelioma is a serious form of rare cancer. There is no known cure for
mesothelioma cancer. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma
cancer you will no doubt have many questions and concerns and may have wondered
if you need a mesothelioma attorney.
   Although the number of people being newly exposed to the risk of mesothelioma
cancer is now at a minimum, newly diagnosed cases of the disease are set to rise
dramatically in the coming decades. This is due to the fact that symptoms can
take 30 to 50 years to develop. Sufferers only become aware of symptoms once the
mesothelioma cancer has reached an advanced stage, which is why the disease is
so difficult to treat and has such a low survival rate once diagnosed. The has
caused an increase in the need for a mesothelioma attorney in some parts of the
country.

When I was 17 old I started working at an asbestos mine in the Yukon. I had the
excitement of youth and looked on the thing as a big adventure.

The mine was located about 7 miles from the Alaska border on the banks of the
Forty Mile River, which emptied into the Yukon River some 5 miles or so north.

I first arrived in August and started working on the Surface Crew. This was the
group responsible for outside maintenance of all things on the surface. This was
fine when we had those few relatively warm days in summer, but later it was a
bit more difficult to be working outside in minus 55F.

One of my first duties was to keep clear the conveyor that took the unused
asbestos out to the tailings piles. Tailings piles are basically the dregs of
what's left over after milling the asbestos and is run out of the mill on
conveyor belts to large piles behind the mill. At that time they were about 100
feet high.

I was given a shovel, and a small mask (kind of like the little paper ones that
painters use) and told to go shovel off the conveyor belt on the tailings piles.
Dutifully I climbed up with my little shovel to clear any blockages of asbestos
from the conveyor. I remember clearly at one point standing literally knee deep
in asbestos on top of this 100 foot high pile and looking inside my very poor
quality mask and seeing the inside (where it's not supposed to be) all grey from
the asbestos dust. I then took out my hankerchief (yes, I carried one) and blew
my nose. Sorry for the rude, graphic description, but it was all grey. And that
was my introduction to work at an asbestos mine.

   Mesothelioma: What is it?
Mesothelioma is a malignant cancerous disease of the cells lining the patient's
body cavities such as chest, abdominal region or the area surrounding the heart.
It is thought to be associated with exposure to asbestos, and this asbestos
association has been documented in 70-80% of all mesothelioma cases. Asbestos
cancer or mesothelioma is very difficult to assess and diagnose consistently.
The time between exposure and the onset of the disease, and the rate of
progression of malignant mesothelioma, make diagnosis very difficult.
It is believed that even insignificant exposure to asbestos in environments such
as asbestos mills, mines, shipping yards, some older Navy ships or even
patient's homes can result in mesothelioma. In many cases mesothelioma does not
occur for decades after initial exposure to this cancer-causing asbestos.
2000-3000 cases of mesothelioma per year are currently being diagnosed. Family
members of workers exposed to asbestos can also contract this disease through
exposure to the worker's clothing. Like many other cancers, smoking greatly
increases the risk of contracting mesothelioma.
Some of the earliest symptoms of mesothelioma are commonly over looked due there
similarity to symptoms of less serious diseases. Some patients do not show any
signs of sickness in the early stages of development of the disease. The most
common symptoms of mesothelioma include dyspnoea, pleuritic pain, lasting cough,
fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms may not be attributed to mesothelioma
unless the patient is examined by a competent and knowledgeable health care
provider who orders the appropriate tests. Test for mesothelioma, or asbestos
cancer, may include CT scans, x-rays scans, or MRI. Surgery can be one of the
treatment options; however, the recurrence rate of cancerous cells is high. It
is very important that the disease is diagnosed and treated as early as
possible.
This disease is not more prevalent in any particular race or ethic group;
however it is more common in men. Most cases of mesothelioma occur 30-45 years
after initial exposure to asbestos. Once it develops, this cancer will continue
to grow until it is treated or the victim expires.
