One year at a circuit assembly, we had a speaker use the phrase "unstable table." Ever since then, everyone would use that over and over and over and over. It got to be very annoying.

Do some WT phrases make you squirm?
by jeanniebeanz infor me it's "the doors of the ark are closing.
i can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away.
fathers shaking their fists at god for destroying their families... it's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness.... are there any others that bug you?.

Oh yeah. I let everyone know I was raised in a cult. (But I don't blame my parents.) Then when they ask what cult, I tell them the JWs. Most of my coworkers and all of my friends know to avoid the JWs like the plague.
Yesterday, on the way to lunch with a friend, I get into her car and see the Watchtower and Awake in the floor board. I lit in to her, "What in the hell are these things doing in your car?" She explained that a really nice lady at Wal*Mart helped her get her daughter (who has MS) into the car and offered them to her. She said she took them to be polite, but added that the lady was real nice. "Of course she's nice," I told her, "she's looking at you as if you were a potential convert. Throw these away before you become corrupted."
We threw them in the trash on the way into the restaurtant.

Well, I'm an Arkie, but I used to live in Amarillo so I'm going to join in...
Things I love about Texas:
Palo Duro Canyon: The Musical TEXAS at the Pioneer Ampitheatre at the base of the canyon is AWESOME. Especially the beginning with the lone horseman riding along the rim of the canyon with the giant Texas flag flowing behind him with the music up loud... breath taking, even for an Arkie. I'm sure if I were a native Texan I would have cried.
Route 66: You can still get your kicks there!Buddy Holly International Airport in Lubbock: I love irony and it's kind of ironic to name the city's airport after someone who died in a plane crash. (I honestly mean no disrespect.)
Uncle Julio's: The BEST fajitas I've ever had.
Whataburger: Best place to get a burger at 3:00am.

Gretchen because she always comes across as so together and well spoken.
Mary because she says exactly what I'm thinking most of the time.
Gumby and Yeru for making me think, just in different ways.
And, my pal Country Girl for her big ol' heart!
(and of course there are plenty more out there... you know I love you guys more'n my luggage!)CountryGuy

Unfortunately it's probably mostly we men who cannot get around an exposed breast being used for one of the most natural of human functions. We're a small minded society of sexually repressed people, too puritanical, and way too embaressed to honestly express our individual sexuality.
And, don't forget that the Dubs are among the most sexually repressed individuals in Western civilization. Thus, the general lack of consideration for sisters who breast feed.

I love this show, and it's lead in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It has totally revived Sunday night television, in my opinion.
