Hi Tziporah,
I am so sorry that this is such a belated welcome to you. I've been absent from the board for nearly a month - so many things have been happening in my life that it was difficult to also come here. The good news is that life has somewhat calmed down (but I'm still crossing my fingers and my toes), which means that I'm back on iVillage.
I am so very happy to see you here, participating and sharing in our conversations! I hope that we'll get to know each other better in the coming weeks.
Welcome again!
(PS: I love the sound of your name!)

Hi Tziporah,
I actually came tonight to tell you I have figured out what is stressing me out so much that I am biting my lips at night.

Oh Tziporah,
Don't even get me started on social workers in general.
Hello my old friend!
I disappeared for far too long. I was very very sick. I was in ICU multiple times. I wrote about it in another thread titled I'm back! I'm just glad I found someone who could fix my problem at long last. I really thought I was going to die. I'll talk about that later.
One of my real-life heroes is Mother Teresa. I think she was amazing. To answer your questions. "Karen, have another Catholic-religion question for you. Remember way back when you explained to me about why nuns where black habits? to symbolize their "widowhood".? Well, in one of the Chicken Soup For The Souls series, there was this comment by Mother Theresa about being "married to Jesus." I know that that's what nuns think. Question: how can they be "married" and "widows" at the same time?" Nuns wear the habits because the habits symbolized widowhood in the lay people around them. At that point in history things were rough and so they donned the habits to not be bothered by men. Nuns wear a wedding ring, a plain gold band. They are considered to be married. It has always confused me. How many wives does Jesus have? Multiple wives is not a part of the Catholic religion and while men were expected to take in their brother's widows, there is no mention, to my knowledge, of these men marrying their brother's widow. "Question: If nuns are supposedly married to him, then what are priests considered to be? married or not, and if so, to whom?" Priests are celebrate and cannot marry. The do not wear a wedding band. To my knowledge they are married to Catholicism, whatever that means. This is why I have a problem with Catholicism in general, it's too confusing. How can one beleive in something that one doesn't even understand? I really need a diagram, some sort of family tree thing. It baffles me.
Did you get the social security or sick fund money? Along the same lines, my husband was approved for Social Security Disability and now we will be getting some money in. Yay!
I really have a lot of catching up to do. I will be back and I can promise that. I am feeling much better. I'm still weak but that will improve as I am more able to get around. I had to be weaned from steroids and pain meds. I was on some pretty powerful stuff.
I hope this finds you well.
Karen
