i agreed with all of the winners at last night's oscar's except for the best actor award.. i would have given it to joquin phoenix.
i thought his performance as johnny cash was great.. i also thought that jon stewart did a great job.
i particularily liked the opening skits.
I thought Crash was a movie that touched on the pulse of America. It seemed to really take your emotions on a ride and I was blown away where they lead me! That said, my sons watched it and didn't really relate to it...I wonder if it has something to do with experiencing life and being older to see a wider range of issues?

just got back about 2am from the bahamas.
it was awesome and the atlantis was an amazing place to stay and play.
we spent a few days just hanging out at the resort, riding slides and exploring all it offered.
The only place I like in the Bahamas is Paradise Island!!! That place is awesome!!! I used to go there before they remodeled and then a couple of times after...it is really amazing. Just remember that the Straw Market stalls are about half JW's selling their stuff! I met a ton of them before fading...can you believe I even went street witnessing while there on vacation????
I really got tired of the attitude about Americans there...I wonder what they think would be supporting them if not tourist dollars???
Be aware when you go to the islands there are some places that tourists should avoid. There are scam artists everywhere even in paradise!

guys beware
police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman.
many females use a date rape drug on the market called "beer".

love letters were the demise for many of the kids in congregations that i attended growing up..... i know i ended up in the library/back room several times for this (hopless romantic/ sagitarius) even put on public reproof for it.
(though i believe it was my dad's idea to have the elders put me on public reproof so that he could have more control over me).
I have to tell a story on myself....There was a Witless girl that loved my son and started following him around at the assembly...kind of like STALKING! Every time that I came up she would take off almost running...by the end of the day I was tired of her silliness and finally I told her "Why don't you go home and take a COLD shower?" Needless to say my son was mortified!!! In all honesty I wouldn't have minded if she would have hung around talking...she was just weird. My son finally forgave me later when he realized what an idiot she was!

jehovahs witnesses are often criticised.
Here's the thread on Silver Fox:

Just to update anyone that didn't see this.

i've fallen in love with a jehovah's witness and i know she feels the same way about me but the problem is that im a methodist and cant find it in me to give up my faith and become a jehovah's witness as i would not expect her to give up her faith and it is driving us both crazy.
i've known this lovely lady for the past 8 years and have only now told her how i feel and every second im away from her im thinking of her wanting to be with her.
so im asking people who might know or be able to help
R U N F A S T !!!

so it's been five months that i've been on jwd and i've made a lot of progress.
first i want to thank everyone, wholeheartedly, for the encouragement i've recieved here.
when i first posted i was still an ms, and being used in the cong.
The badgering will stop after a while...but you will have to deal with it for a time, if you want to keep your family ties. I have faded now for 5+ yrs and still able to hang out with neices/nephews, etc. I just kept making excuses until they finally got tired of asking me to come to meetings, etc. (Burn-out from too much work is good for a while, a little depression here and there, etc., you get the idea)

i am so mad right now.
last night i went to the grocery store.
they have ten packs of soda for 10 dollars.
I have a son that's 6' 3" and he is thin...could eat me out of house and home!!! And yes, I'd come in and find that he had already fixed the steaks that I was thawing for dinner and wondered what we were having for dinner!!! Some of his friends could make him look like he was snacking! Some people have a higher metabolism than others. The best thing your son could do is to work at a restaurant and get more food there.
About the lying...I always wanted my sons to tell me the truth no matter what. So they feel that they can tell me ANYTHING and now I wish I didn't know what I do! Does that make sense? Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it!

the north has coffee houses,.
the south has waffle houses.
Becka...that would be funny! It's hard for us to understand jokes from other areas sometimes, so enlighten us!
