welcome and well met, MeL.....
one good..... no, make that GREAT, thing about this board is that you CAN keep up with the spew the b0rg is publishing.... sometimes ahead of the rank and file!!
you may well be able to put your mum off the scent of your fading if you drop timely commentary about a recent study article..... there are some brilliant insights here by truly well-informed posters who can cut thru the nonsense with a rapier wit and style..... nothing i like better than a hot cuppa and the "watchtower comments" on a sunday morning.....
Hello Chickpea! (That's a very cute username by the way )
And you're right about using places like this to keep up with news even if you're out. I can't remember if it was from this site or another, or maybe both!, that I heard about the two separate WT editions. It was handy to drop that comment in while emailing my mum, so atleast it looked like I was being active
I'm definitely going to keep a close eye on the latest news so I do have something to talk about while "Keeping Up Appearances" (anyone seen that classic comedy by the way? lol)
I'm also going to read up more info on the org so I can find ways to drop subtle hints to her. I know she's seen/experienced some hypocrytical behaviour but was always 'counselled' by elders and others about it, so she probably puts it down to human imperfection.
