Come to Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Apparently I am the only ex dub here and I have not seen any other active JW's. Never had any knock on my door, never run into any or anything. So all the JW's have disappeared so it is Borg free! However it is the dryest state on the dryest continent on earth and it hasn't rained for months on end but at least we havent had any huge bushfires yet! We are on permanent water restrictions which means I had to cut my daily 5 hour shower to 4 hours and 45 minutes. THe shock of this still leaves me cold! Hehehehe seriously its a small city and you can be at the beach and 20 minutes later you are in the foothills. Or go 45 mins in the other direction and you are in our wine country enjoying the best drop in the world red or white! Its a great place to come and retire or try to live sort of!

As a person who gives advice for a living I would say that the problem here is communication. You dont really talk or listen to each other. Another problem is the same one that all suffer from, lack of sleep, satisfaction with your work and plain old tiredness.
Sit down and insist you talk to each other, no judgement, just listen to what the other is really saying. I think the necklace is just your wife expressing her disatisfaction with things. If she didnt want to wear something or doesnt like something then why buy the thing in the first place? Is it really her life she is talking about?
As a woman in a marriage for 18 years I will tell you that once my x and I stopped talking to each other and talked at each other things went down hill. However there were many other things involved too which I wont go into. Either get help that will actually help or start talking to each other but more importantly, listen to each other dont ignore or just presume you know what the other is going to say. It takes two to make a marriage work, neither one is more at fault because if both of you are only giving 50% then you are only half trying. You both have to give 100% and care enough about each other to listen.

Hey yx yes I do take it seriously what I laugh about is my utter hopelessness. I laugh instead of getting angry at myself for constantly failing. I seem to be getting worse and more mixed up. So instead of getting angry and giving up I laugh it off and try even harder. My Sensei and I are determined to see me suceed! The other class mmebers (all male) are trying to encourage me as well as they kind of know how intimidating it is for me to be the only female is a strongly oriented male sport!@ Although last night there was a little 6 year old girl. She was so cute!
I reckon a blackbelt in Origami might be on the cards for me!

My family are freaking out a bit at the moment. Uncle Mel seems to have flipped his lid a bit and we are all scratching our head trying to work out why he would make a picture like this. It doesn't seem in charatcer for him but it has been a few years since I saw him last.

The blonde one is Emily and she is nearly 5. We are very close and they have sleep over my place regularly. I havent got photo's of my brothers 4 kids but I love them just as much!

I always thought I was well coordinated but get me to do a head punch with a swoop block followed by a short lunge punch and I am all over the place and laughing hysterically! At least the class is learning to laugh with me instead of at me! I try not to take it too seriously as it is just to learn self defense and if I should happen to meet someone well that would be great to!
So anyway thats all I wanted to say. Nothing profound or earth shattering, just thought i would share that significant point with whoever cares to read it! I bet i would be disfellowshipped very quickly if the elders knew I was learning Karate. Then what would they say about the tatoo I got last year and my one ambition I had left from last year (to have a one night stand ), not to mention leaving my scumbag husband and looking with licentious eyes at males and all the one million and one other things like drinking! Oh I bet they couldnt shut the dors quick enough behind me!

Yeah I got the part about we are nothing new or unique. Its the buck up part I am not sure about. WHat does it mean in your part of the world cause I am sure it does not mean the same thing here unless you are telling us all to p*ss off! That is what buck up means in my neck of the woods. Why would you be telling me to p*ss off? Are you telling me to p*ss off the board or for life in general and what have I ever done or said to you to warrant that kind of language to be hurled at me? See why I am not sure what your point is?

Well I am glad that some of you could recall something positive. I am still thinking although it is with aching bones at the moment and two ibuprofen as I have just come home from my weekly atempt at learning Karate. Although why I am thinking with my bones is another topic for another thread! Seriously I think I want to try to remember some good times but I am really hard pressed to.
