Theresa_N has not written a bio yet

Well, my depression and anxiety have been over 10 for several months.
Freedompath comments on Apr 23, 2020:
I am so sorry you are being forced to make a move...that your heart isn’t in. I guess there was no way that you could manage where you are? I am sorry about the pain and the lack of relief. Pain surely distracts us! I hope that you have tried other pain management ideas. If the only ones that...
Theresa_N replies on Apr 26, 2020:
I found a place but they are having problems with my income. It's the second to nicest place and only the second I'd consider. The rest were tenements pretending to be assisted living facilities. No there's no chance of staying where I am. Lately it isn't the pain but the mind numbing depression and anxiety. With the stress so high I'm surprised I haven't become psychotic.
It's been found that nicotine protects somewhat from getting COVID 19.

I would not care to live in a country that bans religion. I wish I lived in a country that does more to maintain a separation between state and religion.
Theresa_N replies on Apr 15, 2020:
Many countries would benefit from the banning of evangelicalism. Look at the US, Brassil, and soon Venezuala. They all, and many more, have had their political processes taken over by fascists who are evangelical.

I really am amazed at how badly biden is coming across during this pandemic. I guess it's his dementia. I do hope that Bernie stays in the race.
Theresa_N replies on Apr 9, 2020:
Yes, he has dementia as does tRump. Who will replace joe is the question since he hasn't had success with the DNCs position on the issues. Let's hope it's someone who has Bernie's values. This is far fetched I know.

@ToolGuy, I am 64, soon to be 65. My family are all racists. It was once much more acceptable to be openly racist, so older people are much more likely to be so. I struggle with racist thoughts because of my upbringing. I compensate for this.

Theresa_N replies on Oct 2, 2019:
Quakers never burnt anyone for "being a witch." There are two types of Quakers in the world. The evangelical ones, relatively recent development, and traditional Quakers of the FGC and conservative types. One has "churches," the evangelical type and one has Meeting Houses. Evangelicals have sermons and pastors, FGC and conservative ones do not. I used to be a Friends General Conference Quaker. I still admire the pacifism and simple living I was part of. I'd never be an evangelical one as they are little different from southern baptists.

What evidence do you have that vaping is worse than smoking? Does it cause cancer and COPD? I have no problem restricting access to non tobacco, non menthol flavors as they appeal to teenagers. But other than that and age restrictions, I believe vaping should be unregulated until proven harmful by EVIDENCE.

Fundamentalism isn't the only part of religion that's harmful. Take the methodist church, it's not fundamentalist yet they don't allow gay marriage, they preach about how transgender are bad. Or take the catholic church, do I have to list all their problems? Religion is bad by it's very nature. I say this as someone who has experienced many christian sects and none of them apart from liberal Friends have anything good about them.

The only link to scizophrenia is that it MIGHT cause earlier onset in those who will get it anyway. This is a very weak link that shouldn't be considered a link at all.

Theresa_N comments on Apr 27, 2019:
At least your mother still speaks to you.
Theresa_N replies on Apr 28, 2019:
Mine is now dead. Stopped years prior to that though, partially because of religion.
"This is the end of my presidency, I'm fucked." Okay, but when is the ACTUAL end?

Pelosi si do..won't let it happen, it'll piss off her owners!
Theresa_N replies on Apr 27, 2019:
The neoliberals Obama and Pelosi are afraid of what impeachment will do for the markets, that's their only concern.
what is an atheist? what do they believe?

Nothing without evidence.

Exactly, no woo, no spirits (or spirituality), no god(s).

Christiep77 comments on Apr 21, 2019:
I think what is lost on Mr Graham is not just this particular story of Lot and his daughters, but that fact that if you are a Christian you believe that we are all sinners and Mr Graham would know that he is also included in that group. I know the people on this site don’t believe that and ...

The mayor's religion is reason enough not to support him.

He also says the resurrection probably didn't happen. What is it that makes someone a Christian if they don't believe anything most Christians believe, lol? I'm confused.
Theresa_N replies on Apr 21, 2019:
Everyone has their own path to atheism. You didn't mention the denomination of the minister. In some churches such views are more acceptable than in others.
If anyone was feeling so inclined.
Merseyman1 comments on Apr 20, 2019:
I would still be an atheist to your church...I don't do weed! 😊
Theresa_N replies on Apr 21, 2019:
You're missing out. I don't need to "do weed" with a congregation though, it's a solitary experience mostly for the medicinal effects including joy.

Where is this group? On here? On agnostic.com?

No, they're a separate site.
I find it funny how religious people keep saying you can't be spiritual without religion.
Boomtarat03 comments on Apr 12, 2019:
You're absolutely right,I am a believer but not into a religions or in any related to that...?
Theresa_N replies on Apr 13, 2019:
Anybody who's a believer is delusional. I know, I had that delusion for many years.

Marktzu comments on Apr 12, 2019:
Kind of broad brush. All religious people are racist, no Compassion etc. Its this type of negativity that real limits any chance of dialogue.
Theresa_N replies on Apr 13, 2019:
My ILS worker is evangelical. She went on a racist rant last time I was in the car with her. She named nearly all varieties of human being, except white, as being despicable and treachorous. I'm looking for a new ILS worker who is non-evangelical, non-racist, non-LGBT hating.

I gotta say dude...these new oil cartridge like vaping pens are the only way to go. Almost no coughing:-)

Yea, I've been vaping too with cannabis from the dispensary while my crop matures. Plan to make e-juice with one of my plants when they're mature.
We are all created equally. Agree/Disagree?
LenHazell53 comments on Apr 9, 2019:
We are all equal in the eyes of the Law or Lore, all equal in the right to a life free of unnecessary suffering, all equal in our right to happiness and fulfilment. But are we born physically, mentally,emotionally equal? Hell NO!
Theresa_N replies on Apr 10, 2019:
Depends on what you mean by equal. There are all sorts of equal. People with ordinary looks are equal to Hollywood stereotypical looks in every way. In fact they are superior because their looks are often more interesting than the plastic look of the Hollywood type.

They set out to be as offensive as possible and** you **got blocked? Yes I just went into dog howling tone of voice. Wow! Did you know we have a grow group here? "Cannabis Growers Group" and this weed one "Legalize Cannabis Nationwide/Worldwide Group".

powder comments on Apr 7, 2019:
I think it's important to #1 forgive those who wronged you. Don't forgive actions, remember and never forget, but forgive the person or revenge will eat you up And #2 don't have regret. Sure you may do things differently again but what's done is done and all experiences since would be different. ...
Theresa_N replies on Apr 7, 2019:
I still suffer PTSD and a negative attitude from my mother. During the last few years of her life she refused see me because I am transsexual. I wasn't welcome at her funeral. She left me far less than others in the family so now I'm on SSI and have no . She bombarded me with her negative talk all my life. She's gone, I'm glad.

I can't be cutting holes in my condo's doors, I'm going sell it. It's currently in my bedroom closet. If I could afford it I'd get an ozone generator but I'm on a very low fixed income. Talking about this on here might get me into trouble with the police.
26 atheist/agnostics in the whole state, and at least one is a fake account. I'm gonna die alone. :/

Lot's of atheists in Minnesota. Just look at the number of UUs. I'm no longer UU but am a rather committed atheist. Currently trying to replace my ILS worker as she's a racist theist.

RavenCT comments on Dec 13, 2018:
I'm really tired of this. Maybe they just need to make it a free for all. The people who are going to abuse the heck out of opioids are going to do it regardless. And the folks who actually need them are suffering to the point of craving death.
Theresa_N replies on Apr 5, 2019:
I agree. Just make everything legal and medically treat addicts. I use THC for pain control, it doesn't get rid of it entirely but makes it more managable.
Has anyone ever called a suicide hotline? What happened? Was it helpful?
Malachiseyi comments on Jun 8, 2018:
I did when I was in the USA. One of their tactic is to make you wait for an annoyingly long time. And then they try to access your level of depression. If they feel like you have the will and ability harm yourself, they will send an ambulance your way. In short, they, like most people, don't ...
Theresa_N replies on Apr 4, 2019:
I've found suicide hotlines worthless.
We need a group for Aspergers only, No family or others, just those with Aspergers.

theres a really good web site called erowid that shows you a gorillas guide/cheap way of growing cannabis for yourself. its a brilliant site that tells you about the pros and cons of all drugs from coffee and tobacco too heroin. i think this could help a lot of people.
Theresa_N replies on Apr 1, 2019:
LeighShelton, your suggestion was a good one, but three months is a long time to be in pain. I'm about two three months in with mine and it looks like it'll be another month till ready.

altschmerz comments on Apr 1, 2019:
Yeah if it wasn’t ILLEGAL the insurance company could help pay for it - it makes ZERO SENSE to keep it illegal when studies have proven how beneficial it is. It never made sense to make it a schedule 1 drug. It’s probably not as potent, but have you tried CBD oil?
Theresa_N replies on Apr 1, 2019:
CBD is more expensive than THC and does absolutely nothing for me.
How many of you now grow or has a friend that does ?
LucyLoohoo comments on Jun 25, 2018:
I grow. It's a medicinal strain and I bake with it. It's a beautiful plant!

UpsideDownAgain comments on Apr 1, 2019:
Many people talk about their need for cannabis but don't look into the many other herbs that will ease their conditions. Licorice will heal arthritis from what I understand while ginger will ease the pain while you're waiting for it to heal and help the licorice work faster. There are a number of ...
Theresa_N replies on Apr 1, 2019:
None of what you suggest is backed by research, I mean real studies, not internet "research." I don't have the to spend on things that rely on the placebo effect.

I can't speak about growing cannabis because of the police. But it takes a tremendous amount of time and am currently waiting for maturity. In the meantime I am in tremendous pain both mental and physical.
