Pull them out of the trash and get yourself a red marker. Start correcting the articles like a teacher would on a paper. The grade the mag and send it back!

Too funny. I'd love to do something like that.

Horrible Life,
My yellow lab/rott mix is named that! We spell it Deogie. I didn't name him, and to be honest, it was a week after we brought him home that I realized that his name spelled "dog." (I just thought that it was some sort of Asian word.)

We also have Emmett, a black lab/dalmation mix and Xander, a tuxedo (black and white) cat.

Fluff - Post what makes you happy this evening!

more than anything, i am happy to be with my family going into a new year.

in spite of difficulties, these are the two most important joys of my life.

I think I'm happiest when I make my husband smile and laugh. His mother passed away in May, so it's been a rough year for him. Any happiness I can give to him makes me happy. New Year's Eve is his birthday, so I've got a big day planned for him.

Your first talk at the Theorcatic Ministry School, do you remember it?

by JH in

friends

i do, i had to read ezekiel 9: (1-11)

and he proceeded to call out in my ears with a loud voice, saying: have those giving their attention to the city come near, each one with his weapon in his hand for bringing ruin!

there were six men coming from the direction of the upper gate that faces to the north, each one with his weapon for smashing in his hand; and there was one man in among them clothed with linen, with a secretarys inkhorn at his hips, and they proceeded to come in and stand beside the copper altar.

CountryGuy

I was 12 and scared to death. I don't remember the exact reading but I do remember it was from Job.

The thing I remember the most was when I finished and went to go to my seat, everyone clapped. That totally flustered me because I had NEVER seen it done before. My mom explained that if it is you first talk, then the congregation gives you applause because of the big step that you've taken. Apparently, I was the first new person to join the TMS at our KH in a few years.

of course, i'm off work because i was laid off for december.

but mozz is off today and monday for new years!

so we get another four-day weekend together.

CountryGuy

Off today? I wish! It was the last day to post money for the month, quarter and year! I worked from 7am to 6:30pm straight. But I did talk the boss into buying pizza for my team since most of us worked right through lunch.

Don't have to go back until Tuesday and that is only a half day.

Made money with a ATM machine

by JH in

jw
friends

in our atm machines, we can only get 20 dollar bills out of them, so today i went to get 60$ out of the atm machine and to my surprise came out a 50$ and two 20's.

there isn't supposed to be 50$ bills in that machine.

i guess that the one who filled it up with 20's, accidentally put a 50$ in.. then i came back home and went online to see what i withdrew, and it was written 60$, just like i asked.. there is no way they can find out now.

CountryGuy

This happened at a local bank a couple of years ago. The bank knew exactly who withdrew money and how much they were "over paid" on the transaction. (They had loaded 20's in the 10's slot. So, every record of a ten being given to a customer, they knew it was really a 20.) They contacted the customers and asked for the money back, when they didn't comply, they debited their account. Some of the customers complained to one of the local news stations and the bank did a very detailed spin (they have nothing on the WTS) on the situation and wound up getting tons of free, positive, publicity over it.

Anybody on a diet?

by MsMcDucket in

jw
friends

i'm on a diet and so far i've been hanging in there.

i have a minimal goal weight and a maximum goal weight.

if you are on a diet, what do you do to keep yourself motivated to staying on the diet.

CountryGuy

Hey.. countryguy
I make red velvet cake with Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper instead of milk and eggs.
I wouldn't mind having a copy of that receipe. I invite you to type it up here for us or send me a pm with the receipe.. pretty please..

Special K,

It's very easy...
Take one box of red velvet cake mix
Mix it with 12oz. of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.
Bake at 350 for about 15-20 mins (until done). The baking time varies from the box by about 10 < printed.
Before serving, top with one serving of Cool Whip Lite.

Per serving (1/12 of cake), this has about 200 calories and 5g of fat. If you're on Weight Watchers, that's 4 points.
I often bake them in cupcakes and I get 24 out of one box, which cuts these figures in half.

I wouldn't call this a healty snack, but it is definately a good alternative if you're going to be put in a situation, like Chistmas, where you're faced with all kinds of "usual" baked goods.

Another alternative is Pumpkin Spice Cake (Muffins):
Take one box of Spice Cake Mix
Mix with one can of pumpkin pie filling
Bake at 350 for about 20 mins (until done).
Again, not a "healthy" snack, but a "healthier" snack to get you by. Sorry, I don't have a spice cake mix here to get the nutrition labels for you.

There are all kinds of cool recipies at Dottie's Weight Loss Zone, www.dwlz.com. Most of them are figured for Weight Watchers, so they work perfectly for me. My favorite are the Tortizzas. So far, since 9/17/05, I've lost 47lbs following the WW plan.
