Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Ideas To Make A Loved Ones Hospital Stay A Little Better.

By Brian G. Hall

Those who are unfortunate and have been cursed with poor health spend a large portion of their life admitted into the hospital. Spending so much time in the hospital can affect someones mood. They will start to become depressed and lonely. But there are many things you can do to help out a loved one who is a patient at a hospital.

One clear way to bring happiness to a hospital patient is to buy them presents. Often times people like to buy boxed candy but that is ill advised. Many patients are on a strict diet and candy can be harmful to certain patients. The best kind of gift you can purchase for a person is a nice bouquet (for women) or a nice house plant (for men). Or you can even make them a gift. A nice hand written card with an encouraging message will always be appreciated by a person who has fallen ill.

One should take full advantage of the hospitals visiting hours too. Make sure you schedule sufficient amount of time for your visits. A patient would much rather prefer if youd stay with them an extra hour rather than only showing up for a quick meet and greet. You can bring outside activities so bring a board game or at least a deck of cards so you can keep the patients mind off his or her health.

To make a persons stay at a hospital more comfortable, buy them a nice night gown. Hospital gowns are made out of very strong and durable fabrics. They were designed to last as long as possible, with numerous washes and repeated use. These design features are actually very practical but it comes at a cost to the patient.

While the gowns are very sturdy and durable, they arent very comfortable. The fabric is often times too thick and can cause a rash in any patient with skin problems. Also hospitals get their standard gowns in bulk, meaning they come in only 4 sizes small, medium, large, and extra large. With such a limited selection often times patients are left with wearing over or undersized gowns. Also many patients might have a fear of germs and wont be able to relax wearing the communal gowns.

If you purchase a hospital gown you will drastically improve your loved ones stay in a hospital. Custom gowns come in a variety of sizes. Ensuring you can find the right fit. Also the fabric is more breathable and soft decreasing the chances of skin irritation. You can also purchase multiple gowns for your loved one just in case they dont feel comfortable only wearing one.

With your love and support the patient will no longer have to suffer through the lonely and depressing feelings they are bound to feel while confined to their hospital bed. Keeping them happy is one of the best ways to make them feel better about their situation.

Smart Methods to Win an Ex Girlfriend Back

By Ricardo d Argence

Just how long or how quickly has it taken you to figure out that you want to find out how to get your ex girlfriend back?

A lot of guys are not sure if they want their girlfriends, but it's evident when they first walk out the door. Other guys wait until they're dating someone else to realize the new girl is not for them.

How to get your ex girlfriend back under whatever time lapse, involves the same steps. It can be quick and it can be easy, if you follow some basic steps.

In the midst of the pain, try to get back in shape. Be upfront and take the situation at face value. You two broke up for some reason - it's time to find out why. But first, don't eat too much ice cream or drink beer for a pain suppressant. Take your health seriously because love is not worth self- indulgence.

Too much self-indulgence can add weight around your sides. Those 'love' handles would be developed from the anger you have towards your ex girlfriend. It's not worth it so hit the field with confidence and look for a way to get through the troubles.

If you really want to get your ex girlfriend back, consider chilling with the guys for a while. Go out. Change. Another way to get over the circumstances is to date someone else that you might like. You don't have to like her all the way, but you can chill out with the chic until you settle your thoughts.

Remember, you're not actually in a relationship with your ex, you might want to be, but until that dream is an actual, you're a free agent. But don't set out to hurt some other girl just because you want to make your ex jealous or just because you're thinking about yourself. Just make it clear to the girl that you're just interested in some fun and nothing more.

Think about your previous relationship and what it did to you. Do you want to go back to that or do you want something more? In order to get your ex girlfriend back without strings, make this clear in your mind.

Be original and fresh instead of old and boring. A lot of guys try to use flowers, cards, and candy to sweet their ex off their feet. This is not going to work if you don't have a plan. Don't spend any money on them, it's time for you to spend an afternoon or quality time that can help reinforce your love.

Keep yourself in the best condition possible - instill your security, keep your mind and heart open to changes, and work with your own problems first. Once you have everything together, contact your ex girlfriend for a brief hello.

Be open to simple conversation in the beginning. Do not pressure your ex girlfriend back into the relationship because it may make her uncomfortable.

Depending on what you deduce, you either ask for a second chance or you retreat and give it more time.
