Hi Everyone! It's Antique! (page 2)

Hi Michelle,
Yeah, the snow was the problem, and I am about 25 miles south of Cleveland. They never close the college so when they did I knew it was bad. I took one look outside and I pretty much decided I wasn't goin' any way so I was very happy when they announced it.
Thanks for the compliment on my postings. I knew I wasn't dumb but how smart I was, that due to being a Witness, I never discovered. And of course, being a JW doesn't take a lot of brain power anyway. I know I grew more intelligent just doing research on finding about the facts abut the WTBTS along with being on the old H2O and conversing with all the smarties there. But I didn't know if it was going to be enough for college. I was pretty scared. But I calmed down after a couple A's started to come in. I just hope I can keep it going.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Lindy

Hi Waiting!
Good to see you here. I like the name Lindy but a bunch of people seem to think I'm a guy, you know, the Lindburgh thing. But it is a nick-name for Linda and that is me.
I shared the grading on the curve thing with my husband and we both had a good laugh! Thanks!
The kids were I go seem to be okay with us "older folks". It is a small campus and not the main one. I can only go here for a couple years and then I have to transfer to the main campus in Akron. I don't like the idea of that. Even the professors at our campus don't prefer to go there.
Good for your son, going to law school! You must be so proud of him. They have a new series starting on TV about new law students, can't remember the name of it, but it looks like it might be pretty good. Maybe he can get a few tips. LOL

Hey Antique! Lindy is such a pretty name, btw.
Good to see your post. I always enjoy them. Didn't know you were a college kid, though. Congratulations! I've heard that the younger kids don't like the "mature adults" in their classes when graded on a curve. Brings the curve way too high and interfers with their drinking time.

My son is in law school and he doesn't allow anything to interfer with his drinking time. lol.

Come back and visit.

Hi Tina!
Taking a few minutes from the books and checking back. Nice to see so many friends.
Yep, I finally did it. I actually went back this spring quarter and am sticking with it! Only after three years of attemps! It was odd how many dropped out after a few weeks. And my daughter Rachel said after spring break more will disappear. This week off stuff might not be good though. I am already getting lazy on things. It is going to be hard Monday morning gettin' up and at 'em again.
Take care,
Lindy (or Auntie if you like)

Hi Antique,

I'm Farkel. Have we met?

Hi Lindy,

I was born and raised in the Akron area and graduated from the U. of A., and live in Dayton, Ohio now. Love to know where you live in the area - we might know some of the same people, or at least some of the same places to eat good pizza.

By the way, I don't know if you knew this, but JAVA never started college until the age of 40, and he has a master's degree. Hey, if he can do it, anybody can. -:)

Hi Iarc,
I grew up in Brunswick, lived in Medina area for 28 years and now here, south of Seville, for the past 6 years this month. I was part of the original Medina congregation when I was little and my mom came in, then the Brunswick Cong., helped build the Medina Cong., went to Wellington, Ashland and Wadsworth for a while, in between here and there. I know people in the Strongsville Cong. and Berea. When we moved here, I became part of the Wads. Cong. and faded out. Only went to two Memorials and about three meetings. I went on the net shortly after we moved here and proceeded to discover that my doubts weren't bogus and started to live for the first time.
JAVA should be congratulated for his courage and endurance. I am older than he is and I hope I have the courage to finish the four years. But so far I really enjoy college even though it is hard at times. I have a chronic pain disorder that gets in my way, but so far so good. I love learning. And after so many years a JW, I have a lot to catch up on! LOL
Hey, if you want to talk some time, email me. Where abouts in Akron did you live? How was the main campus there? My daughter has one more semester to go before she has to start going there and she is scared about it being so big and impersonal. The Wayne campus is very small and friendly and the professers are great. She has social anxiety and doesn't do well with change, so I am a little concerned about here.
Nice talking with a "local". Have a good weekend!

G'day Lindy. Welcome. Glad you made it.

What about that name change, eh? Lindy sounds positively young and vibrant. Not at all "antique". Not so wise, or what?

Cheers,

Ozzie

Hi Fark,
I seem to remember you for somewhere..... Hmmm....maybe a nightmare? LOL!
Hey, it's been a while. How are you?
Say "hi" to Simon and Gar!
Love ya guy,
Lindy

Hi ozzie,

Just got tired of "Antique" after five years of it. Lindy is so much more me (although I wish I was young and vibrant!). Antique was chosen because of a joke between a old friend of mine and myself and my love of antiques. I'm five years older than he is and we always joked about that. But now that my life has changed so much I decided that Lindy was much better and I don't get the "old" cracks form the "stupids" out there. But you can still call me Antique if you'd like. ;) I don't really mind the name.

Thanks for the welcome! Good to be here.

Lindy, Antique, Auntie, whatever!

Hello and welcome.

I remember reading your posts on H2O - I enjoyed your posts there and I look forward to your insights here as well.
