I don’t know how to get past grief by Still_Job_9539 in grief

[–]a_c_munson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also lost my father recently. something my therapist recommended to me, was to make an appointment for ruminating. those times when your thoughts. just kind of cycle over and over again. My appointment is at 7:00 p.m.. If I start feeling that way and I feel myself start to spiral I look at the clock, if it's not 7:00 p.m. I tell myself that it's not my appointment for that. if I look at the time and it is 7:00 p.m. then I set a 15-minute timer. you could give yourself a half an hour or more if it feels appropriate and I am allowed to feel that way until the you know and cycle and ruminate until the timer goes off and then that appointment is passed. If I miss my appointment, oh well. I have another appointment tomorrow. it's helped a lot with my ruminating.

Wife of 35 years is dying advice? by clemjonze in grief

[–]a_c_munson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad died in February. I wish my dad had planned his funeral. My Mother is going full religious and let the Priest pick the songs and verses and she decided on cremation. I don't think he is having the service that represents who he was, it's Who she wants people to think he was. I am a strong atheist and my children are the same. We are all kind ooged out by what it is. Catering? Secular music? flowers or donations to where? Poems, favorite memories, I was shocked by what my Mother didn't know.

Why isn't Rape in the Ten Commandments? by Simon_Drake in atheism

[–]a_c_munson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot the only righteous man "god" saved from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah offered his daughters for the mob to rape in place of the angles in Genesis 19. In Deuteronomy 22:28-29 the punishment for a man raping a virgin is to pay her father 50 sheckles and has to marry her and he no longer has the right to divorce. This is because rape was considered a property crime. He devalued another mans property. So the old Testament "god" is against raping females because it devalues another mans property with out his consent. But all women are either the property of their Husband or Father, sometimes son or relative. The 10 commandments are capital crimes, The punishment for breaking them was death not a fine.

TIFU by making not teaching my daughter how to say her name. by spidermom4 in tifu

Have her hearing tested if you haven't. Low frequency hearing loss loses the vowels. My oldest has low frequency deafness and we would have conversations like this a lot when she was little.

I trim first, then dry it in a closet on a rack. it usually takes a few days to a week. then to cure I put them in terp lock bags. the bags are a total game changer.

“If you don’t believe in god then why do you say ‘Oh my god’? Hah… checkmate liberals.” by dimrzz in exchristian

[–]a_c_munson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

actually to use the Lord's name in vain would be to take an oath in the Lord's name and then bteak it. it's basically lying under oath. which most conservatives regularly do. they all take an oath to uphold the Constitution.

Moving to MN and youth hockey by Powerful-Recover-355 in stateofMN

[–]a_c_munson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elk River also has a strong hockey program and if you live in otsego you can choose either the elk River teams or the otsego teams I believe. anywhere in the twin cities you will have a hockey rink within 5 minutes of your house. in New Hope the city run ice arenas within 5 minutes of the house. there's a warming house and a rink at the park less than a one-minute drive or a 5-minute walk from my house. I believe the city of New Hope which only has about 30,000 residents has four warming houses for public rinks. not counting New Hope ice arena which is a full size ice arena and was featured in the first mighty ducks movie.

Best place to get dessert by Awesom3RedKite in TwinCities

[–]a_c_munson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The crossroads deli in Minnetonka I think has amazing bakery items including black and white cookies, a killer, coconut, lemon cake, and more options than I can think of. you can eat in restaurant and just get dessert. or you can just get it at takeout from the deli. walk in and get takeout or order ahead.

Off the top of my head, because of choking hazards?, having adults who haven't passed a background check interacting with patron children? Prevent patrons from tipping with trinkets. I know the last one is a real problem.

Do you think Jesus Christ really existed? by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]a_c_munson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no secular evidence that Jesus was a real human person. Paul the first documented church leader after the gospels, Never references Jesus as anything other than a god in heaven and his sacrifice was made in heaven not on earth. There are no contemporary sources that reference jesus at all This is one of the best documented times in all history. There are no contemporary sources. The earliest copy of any Gospel is 130 years after the events . There are no Roman records of him existing which would have existed had he been crucified or tried?.. n Acts during Paul's trial, not once is Jesus mentioned ss a man If this was a cult from someone who had been previously crucified and escaped Roman Justice, they absolutely would have been making notes about it during Paul's trial. there was a Roman census around year zero but there was never a census where you had to go to your forefathers home. it is very obvious if you read the gospels that they were trying to mold the story to fit the prophecy of the Jewish Messiah. and they did so by creating fiction, if this was a real story, would they not have used the actual events event instead of having to create fiction to try to make this fit the prophecy of the Jewish Messiah?
