Wow!!! Just look at the size of those service bags. Should be able to get a lot of literature in there. Good place for those publishers to be too. In the desert where the climate is like the message; dry and dusty.

Mygawd E-man, that sounded tasty. Unfortunately, Mrs. alfie is under the weather presently and so we'll be dining on chicken soup and soft toast points with strawberry ice cream and Jello for dessert. Next week however will be totally different. We'll go out to some swanky joint and chow down on some real high class grub.

Were People Always Trying To Give You Advice?
by minimus indid you find that people , either in the congregation, or in general always tended to try to tell you what you should be doing?
were you always given counsel by the brothers or sisters to "help' you?
how did you react when certain ones were always ready to tell you what you should do?

alfie
There are always people trying to give advice, and I'm probably as guilty as the next person; however when somebody offers "help" I'll listen and weigh the counsel. If it merits consideration, I'll try and follow up, if it's just a busybody with nothing better to do than stick their nose into my affairs I'll smile, tell them to pound salt and walk away.

Anything wrong with this story?
by crownboy ini thought this email was funny (not in the cute way).
i'm really gonna have fun!

I'll tell you what's wrong with this story; I get these all the time too. The problem as I see it is it's another cheap attempt at proseletyzing and shoving someone else's beliefs down my throat. I usually just delete the letter, but from now on I'm going to reply to the sender and tell them my JW story.

Ozzie's Weekend Poll #36
by ozziepost inhope you're having a bonza weekend!
mrs ozzie and i have really enjoyed a very pleasant time with friends and now are spending a bit of quiet time with a nice espresso.
so time to take a "break" and let's share some time reminiscing together about "the old days".

Good morning everybody,
Ahh yes; surplus magazines, the bane of all good and loyal publishers. My better half and I never seemed to be able to
hoodwinkconvince householders that the mags were worth having so the answer to this poll is multiple.#3- Due to the above stated inability.
#5- As I drive a public bus designed to transport seniors and people with disabilities, I would sometimes carry back copies with me and try to "place" them with my passengers, a practice that brought the rebuke of my employers on more than one occasion. Of course, that didn't stop me as I was after all doing God's work, was I not.My wife also tried to foist her surplus mags on her fellow employees, which usually met with a negative response and the occasional "Mrs alfie can be such a pain";which brings us to the last two ways we handled the leftovers:
#12 & #8- The "other" is that usually our surplus stock gathered dust on our "Magazine Shelf" at home whereupon we would eventually; mygawd the thought was repulsive, recycle them.
Interestingly when we moved to our present address a few years ago, we still had some old magazines in boxes. I must haul them out sometime and fire them in the recycling box. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Ozzie's Weekend Poll #35
by ozziepost inahh, poll number 35 today!
sounds like middle age doesn't it?
so how's your weekend going?

Am I too late for this poll? Doesn't matter because I'm going to comment anyway.
As i walk with a pronounced limp, My gait always lies somewhere around d&e. Whenever I was in service, I seldom covered more than 1 block in an hour. I preferred street corner work as I didn't have to move much if at all. Of course I usually had to beat off the older sisters when they tried to take over my spot. Boy some of them were pretty feisty.

An Irishman had been drinking at a pub all night. The bartender finally said that the bar is closing. So the Irishman stood up to leave
fell flat on his face. He tried to stand one more time; same result. He figured he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe
that will sober him up. Once outside,he stood up and fell on his face again. So he decided to crawl the four blocks home. When he
arrived at the door he stood up and fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door and into his bedroom. When he reached his bed
he tried one more time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into the bed and is sound
asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was awakened the next morning to his
wife standing over him, shouting, "SO YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING AGAIN!" Putting on an innocent look, and intent on bluffing it out
he said, "What makes you say that?" "The pub just called; you left your wheelchair there again."

Marmite is good. My wife and I really enjoy it. As a matter of fact, one of my favourite sandwiches is: 2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread, spread natural peanut butter on one slice, marmite on the other,then as filling, layer in no particular order sardines, tomatoes, cheese( I prefer aged Canadian cheddar), onion and cucumber. That along with a pint of skim milk is heaven; and before anybody says anything, try it first.

Something positive? Well, there was....no, that wouldn't qualify as positive; wearing a suit? Nah. There must be something;...oh yeah...ahh forget it; just one positive thing. C'mon, think, think. Sorry, nothing comes to mind.
Is this a trick question?
