My brother finished off a number 2 talk (back before it was just a Bible reading) by saying "Peace, I'm outta here!", held up the peace sign and walked off the stage.
Lets be friends.....

finally awake
I fell down my front steps on the way to Memorial one year. I went inside, covered my wounds as best I could, changed my clothes, and still made it to the meeting on time. I was barely able to walk and I was still crying from the pain, and I was 5 months pregnant, but my butt was in that seat before the meeting started. I should have, at the very least, gone straight to the ER, but I was a colossal dumba$$

I remember driving with my brother, my nephew Time Bandit and probably at least one of my kids to the assembly. We were listening to music and singing along. We laughed until we cried when this song came on. We must have played it and really hammed up the singalong about three times. To this day I can't hear this song without laughing. Listen to it, you'll see why.

If we are going towards regrets, I have an atom bomb....
In my first year of university (having left the JW's officially for around 2 years), a girl I liked phoned me up after a Halloween night out and asked me to "come party" with her and her cute friend! I still had 15% JW in my DNA and I told her to "ring me when you sober up."
I could shoot myself for this. What a...... -there arent curse words that suffice-..... I am !!!!
Meanwhile in 2055....

Another time my two kids, my brother Scot, Time Bandit and his two brothers went to Macon for the convention. We all stayed at the same motel. We donned black sunglasses and went around humming the theme from Peter Gunn. We made a lot of people smile and laugh.

One warm summer day at the Sunday meeting, my 18 month old says to me (quite loudly) "I want a beer!". I told her to shush, so she says, louder, "No really, I want a beer!". I was trying not to laugh, when the brother behind me says "don't feel bad, I want one too". I never figured out why she said that. As far as I know she had never had beer or even root beer.

Well I always liked the Smurf and demon stories---always shared frantically and in total seriousness. I would be cornered in the bathroom while yet another sister told me one of these stories. LOL. I never truly believed them, but some were quite creative.
So I remember one funny story that really isn't related to the religion but happened at the KH. There was this sister that was quite unpleasant. In fact, we all REALLY had to draw on that good old agape to tolerate her. Anyway, she liked to dress up, hair, makeup, accessories. Her style was a bit over the top for my tastes, but I think she probably looked quite nice.
I sat behind her one day, and she had this white leather purse with large gold rings hanging here and there. A bit too flashy, but probably a pretty nice purse. Afterall, she was a single sis with a job, and we tended to have nicer clothes etc. The purse was eye-catching, so to tune out the meeting I started to stare at it. Then there was movement! This little ant popped out the top and started running along the zipper. Now this was interesting. Then another one popped out, and the two met and did some anteanna kisses and went about their business. More popped out, and it was an ant amusment park! They kept going over to the gold rings and running the entire course---round and round.
I really didn't know what to do about it, and to tell this sister would have been to get my head bitten off, and it was infinitely more entertaining than the meeting, so I continued to watch! A brave and exploring soul left the purse and climbed into a brother's jacket sleeve cuz he had it draped over the back of his seat next to her. I nearly bust out laughing at that point. We were being overrun, and all I could do was watch.
I never looked at her the same again. I had a secret. Her ants and I shared it. Everything out of her mouth seemed quite silly to me after that. What was it? A forgotten candy bar? A left over sandwich from lunch? A broken sugar packet. Don't know. Don't care. But what I do know is that the meetings were so pathetic, I found ant antics a million times more interesting.
