Some thoughts that I have had in the last hour :
What should I do with my old pager?
Should I keep it, take it apart or put it in my box of old electronic cack ?We are all interconnected...
Is the internet a substitute for our long forgotten natural interconnectedness ?If I stopped believing in "reality", would I cease to exsist ?
How long would it take to gather enough ear-wax to make a decent sized candle?

WELCOME ALL!
Wishing all a good day and a sufficient level of success to keep your spirits buoyed.
Hope the lights come back on, Emo, and that things work out better for you, Awake.
A & O: you have asked the questions of the ages ... you may have to wait for the answers.
Thanks, everyone, for sharing your thoughts and wisdom [?]. Keep it coming!

The only way to describe me today is The rain and dreary weather is taking a toll on me and I can't shake it. I've been depressed all day and I just wanna go home and get back in bed! The day won't be over anytime soon because I have a CME dinner tonight so I won't be home until after 9:00pm.
The only good point to the CME dinner is that it's a good restaruant, with good food and wine and it's FREE!
Have a good day everyone!

AO - It didn't take long for Shrek to get enough, just one finger full of ear wax and he had a candle

Wishing all a good day! Hope the sun has begun shining once again for you, nj.
Talked to friends in SoCal two days ago - they were prepared to evacuate but still at home up to that point. Everyone's stressed out - understandably so ...
Take care,
CoCo

I seem to have fallen behind with my forum readings.
So busy working and dancing and healing.
CoCo, you wrote:
So it's your children who are "speechless"? As in they won't talk to you at all?
That is correct. My children are doing the full-blown shunning to the strictest letter. I also have two fleshly brothers who shun me. One brother shuns me even though he himself has never been baptized. But his jw wife is --- and he’s scared of her. LOL!!!
WTB&TS rules and regulations are no longer binding on some of us, though I personally am careful not to disregard the conscience of JW friends and family in a flagrant manner.
Me too. Respect is important. I don’t attempt to contact my daughter, even though she lives in the same city as I do. My son, well --- that’s a different story again. I don’t even know which city he lives in. Last I heard it “might be” Flin Flon, Manitoba.
But I digress . . .
Again, my children and some family members are speechless jws! Happily, I moved away from the city where it happened. I've in effect given myself a fresh start. Best thing I did for
myself.Minu wrote:
There's going to be a jitterbug contest. I don't know how to do the Jitterbug or Waltz. My husband is so excited about going and he doesn't even know how to do either of those dances either.
Sounds like so much fun, Minu. Go for the fun of it, knowing you’ll have a great time! Before you know it you might find yourself signing up for dance lessons --- and never look back! Woo Hoo! Let us know how it works out? I lu-u-u-u-r-r-r-r-ve dancing and Mr. Estee and I go dancing weekly!

a fair trade event (it's Fairtrade Fortnight at the moment) - where amazingly I managed to do most of my Chrstmas shopping! . . . emo the contented
emo isn’t sad any more!!! Yay!!! I’m looking forward to Christmas again this year, as I have been celebrating the season for ten years now. Last year we had a turkey feast at our home, with some dance friends. This year could be more subdued, we will be exchanging gifts with Mr Estee’s family, who always send a truckload of gifts from Winnipeg.
But wait! Halloween is next week! Our treats are stacked by our front door, just waiting for the little ghosties and goblins to come by. Don’t know how many kids are coming by, since we are in a different home since last year. But we are ready with 120 treats!

Been a lot of drama happening on the home front lately. Stressful but hopefully moving in a positive direction. . . . Had a nice long hike with my son up in the hills last weekend. I REALLY love the fall.
Hugs to you,Open Mind. Tell us more whenever you feel like talking. Isn’t nature wonderful? Mr. Estee and I love hiking, too. Just wish we had more time. Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love crunching the dried leaves when I walk. It fe-e-e-e-els so-o-o-o g-o-o-o-o-od under my feet.

I got temporary custody of my granddaughter last Friday and it's going pretty smoothly so far. . . . Today, after 2 months of separation I told my husband that we need to proceed with our divorce. Then I took off my ring when he left. It was very symbolic and cathartic for me.
Progress, healing and growth takes many different forms, doesn’t it. When I asked my ex to move out, I felt so calm and spoke with such “knowingness” . . . I just knew I was going to be okay. That was 1997. A person needs to feel they have someone to talk things over with. We’re here for you A&W. Hugs to you. Bittersweet time of life.

Dear ESTEE,
I love your post! I also love Autumn and crunching leaves underfoot. About to do so again very soon. Fall is incredibly beautiful here in NorCal.
Have a great day all!
Love,

Greetings, Friends:
Just returned from crunching autumn leaves underfoot, ESTEE. Ran into a client whom I haven't talked to in over 15 years - she and her family live right up the street. The trees are still colorful but dropping leaves more rapidly now. They're past their prime ...
So am I....

*summer*
Sunday afternoon. Bright sunshine but a cool 43F in my part of the world. I hear a lawn mower...probably the last time I hear this sound for a while.
Made some fudge this morning...with pecans...yummy:-) Sat here, read some threads. Some people are having fun...some are kinda arguing. And I am just about to leave to see the movie "The 11th hour"
Life is happening...life is good:-) To each and everyone of you who will read this...have a great sunday.
God bless~

Just dropping in to say "hi"
I had a busy week last week so I spent all of today at home just chilling out on my computer! Played games, watched what was going on here. It's nice just to do nothing occasionally!
The lights are back on now - I think it was lack of sleep, it does that to me. We put our clocks back 1 hour last night so I got an extra hours sleep this mornng too!
There is an increasing amount of fireworks being set off now, it'll be like this until the middle of November so I'll have to make sure my two kitties aren't outdoors too late now.
I have to make a start on two essays tomorrow for my 'Wisdom Literature' module - one about the Book of Proverbs which requires some lateral thinking, the other is an exegesis on some verses from Job - but I LOVE doing exegesis so I'll be happier than the guy I'm studying and writing about!!
Have a great day everyone whatever you're up to.
