1. you wore that rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest and down the other.

2. you made baby chocolate cakes in your holly hobbie easy bake oven.

I had to resurrect this thread. Such an accurate trip down memory lane for me . . . thought some of our newer readers would enjoy it as well. I'll add a few of my own:

chinese shoes / mary janes
jellies (the plastic shoes that cost about $3.50)
dickies
Members Only jackets
Now-Or-Later candy
those long, narrow popsicles in plastic that you would get at the corner store for $0.10
wax bottles of sugar water
Holly Hobbie
Sunday's after the meeting with the Wonderful World of Disney and then Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew
Bee Gees
Charlies Angels and Star Wars trading cards (I still have mine)
Battleship
Perfection and Superperfection
Ski Jackets (with or without the zip off arms)
Nikes
Papermate erasable pens
Mead Trapper (what was that thing called . . . that notebook/folder/binder)
Hostess anything
Herby the Love Bug
Don Knotts/Tiim Conway movies
gauchos
Pant suits (for girls)
vests
Satin jackets
Rainbow suspenders (from Mork and Mindy)
Fur coats (fake of course)
Lip Smackers (lip gloss)
Calvin Klein, Jordache, Gloria Vanderbuilt jeans (all with the comb in the back pocket of course)
Hair, parted down the middle with the front twisted into a barrette on each side

Execution Dreams

by carefully faded in

in all sorts of ways - i've been crucified, shot by a firing squad, hung, and taken out via the gas chamber and lethal injection (no electric chair .

these dreams are so real - no clue that i am dreaming!

Can You Spot A Jehovah's Witness???

by minimus in

jw
friends

are you able to tell if someone is a jw just by looking or listening to a person?

what are the give away signs that make you just know that they're a witness?

I agree with a lot of what has already been said above. But then, there are times, when none of the above clues is present, and I just know. I can't explain it, I can just feel/sense it. One time I was with some friends getting gasoline - saw a car load of people on a Saturday morning. Even before I could see that they were dressed "up", I knew they were witnesses - just from their faces. Then as I got closer, I saw the dresses and suits, and then finally the literature. But I knew before any visible clues.

Hi Jean, wow, I think you're spot on! I am actually very stressed out at work - and looking for a new job. It's been so bad that it has affected my health. I've been sick (colds, flues, viruses, etc.) almost non-stop since last October.

I guess I need to make a change quicker than I thought. Thanks!

Superbowl ... "super"

by Simon in

this is impressive.

i've now been watching tv for 1 and a half hours and have yet to see *anything* happen.

will they play any sport at all or just 'tit about' all evening?

GH, yeah, vaguely funny at first - now incredibly irritating!

I'm leaning more towards the Eagles as well . . . but I'm more interested in ending each quarter with specific scores - as I entered my work's Superbowl Pool for the first time (oooh, sports gambling!)

Since I faded, I have had several dreams where I am being executed. In all sorts of ways - I've been crucified, shot by a firing squad, hung, and taken out via the gas chamber and lethal injection (no electric chair . . . yet). These dreams are so real - no clue that I am dreaming! I am literally terrified . . .waiting for the decision - and then the impending execution to start. And hearing the news that I am about to be executed, my heart feels like it stops for a second and then scariest feeling of absolute dread and hopelesness comes into pit of my stomach. The executions are extremely detailed: I can hear the dirt crunching under the soldiers sandals as they move towards my hands with a hammer and nail in their hands; the noose is around my neck and I'm trying desperately to move it to the right part of my neck so that I'll die quickly from a broken neck instead of slowly by strangulation. Most of the time, I wake up about the time that I am about to die. Most times I am crying and my heart is beating a mile a minute. The reality of the feelings are almost too much to take.

I am often trying to understand why I have these dreams so often. One part of me thinks that maybe I was executed in a prior life - but that would mean I believe in reincarnation - and I'm not sure about that. Another part of me thinks that it comes from growing up in an extremely judgemental organization and being taught that every action of mine has has life and death consequences.

Does anyone else have these types of dreams? What do you think causes them?

I tend to agree with Simon. This is a pretty unexciting Superbowl - so far. But wait, maybe Paul will have a wardrobe failure at half-time. Now THAT would be a sight!
