i can't stand it when people do not pronounce their ings and instead finish those words with in'.
"talkin', eatin', typin'"....i hate that!
Since I can't take a picture, please accept this crude attempt to illustrate.

I hope you find this helpful, Mini.

you know..where you go to relax, meet your mates, have a few bevvies.
everyone needs a local.
ex-jw's especially need a local to meet new people and get a new social perspective!.
When we go to such a place we go to the Florentine Restaurant: it is family owned. It looks like an Italian Village inside and has a great atmosphere with dimmed lighting. There is a full bar. On Tuesday nights they have Karaoke. This is when we go. Ruby handles the Karaoke. We have gotten to know her and like her a lot. We sing even when we sound awful. I have found that a drink or two or three can increase your boldness. I rarely drink though.
Andy and I both work at the same place. Many of the people who work there, including us, have been there for years. We all feel like family. Our breakroom is sort of like the local with no alcohol. It's always smoke filled as well as full of people. We have the best xmas parties and company picnic. Some of us girls go to lunch and a movie once in a while. I guess my job is my local. That's kinda scary. We need to get out more.

every child and bible student was told about how wonderful the "new system" was going to be.
"and what animal do you want to have in the new system?
"......that was a very typical question.
no cheese danishes or warm shasta cola.
Well now, that thought could set one to reminiscing.

...so said my mother when she asked me to read the latest watchtower on "the apostates".
she said that because i learned "jehovah" was god's name and because "the organization taught" me this, i should, out of loyalty stay in the organization.
i did not want to get into the "jehovah" name thing but i said in return that if she strongly felt this way, then she should have remained a catholic.
But did he lead Wesley and Buttercup in singing "Mawiage is God's Awangement?"
Noooooo. My Jehovah would have had very hip taste in music. Cool, I was wondering how long it would take someone to get my Princess Bride reference. I'll never forget the first time I saw the Very Impressive Clergyman. PB is one of the most unique and clever comedies I have seen. Probably second only to Harold and Maude.

Then we'd build our own sailboat and sail around writing poetry. Yeah...laugh it up! Go ahead!
Noooo, this sounds romantic and wonderful, Jo. I used to wonder if J would make the land mass into one long strip circling the world so lots of people could live on the coast. And I thought about sailing. I just didn't want to do this with my ex still a jw husband. I thought it would be cool to learn about ship building from the Phonecians and the Vikings.

Presumably some poor slob's version of "paradise" would be to grind it out 8-5 making all the stuff the rest of us would need. LIke toilet paper.
That would be my exhusband. He is a workaholic. He does electrical maintenance on industrial machinery as well as trouble shooting. When he isn't working doing carpet cleaning on the side, etc. he is creating work for himself around the house. And then he broods because his work is never done.
Factories are a product of the "modern world". People used to go to craftsman something like a blacksmith for plows, etc. But hey, wasn't the toiling a punishment for Adam's sin? I thought the paradise was going to remove the effects of sin.

Most women seem to always have their mouth open, no?
I edited out my witty reply because it was too good to be true. But if it was true then women would be much happier and you would be happier and wouldn't have said such a thing, Mini. Oh the logic of it all.
