hi guys,.
being a brit living abroad, i never really understood the whole thanksgiving business.. i think growing up as a jw didn't help either.
anyway, i've rid myself of those jw shackles and have decided to take an interest into the goings on over the pond, especially as my favourite place on earth is bar harbor.

today marks the 49th anniversary of president kennedy's assassination.
please share your stories of that day if you were around then.
it is said that almost everyone in america who was around then remembers exactly where he or she was when they heard the news.. .
I was in 7th grade and was anticipating the Friday night basketball game that night against our most hated rival when the school's PA system came on, broadcasting a radio report. There were a lot of puzzled looks at first because that never happened before. Then it became clear what was happening. My homeroom had a TV in it (one of just a few in the building; it was the first year our school had them), and for the first time ever it got turned on and our room filled up with students to watch the coverage. Of course everyone was shocked about it and many people were crying, some uncontrollably. My most vivid memory of being in that room was when I glanced behind me and saw my homeroom teacher behind the mass of students with a big smile on her face. I had never liked her as a teacher, but after that day my respect for her as a human being went right into the toilet. Maybe she was trying to show courage and calm in front of us students, but if that's the case it went over like a lead balloon.
The game was cancelled of course, and everyone's world shrunk around TV sets for the next few days, and that was all that was broadcast on the 3 networks. It was all so shocking and depressing, and then when Oswald was murdered by Ruby in front of millions of people (including me) a new level of shock and confusion followed. "What the hell was happening to our country?" was on everyone's mind. Nothing felt the same after that day.

i've had it a couple of times in the hospital.
it's amazing stuff, one second you're awake, the next second you're asleep.
they turn it off, and you immediately wake up.
Here's something I came across that I use to help me fall asleep - it's called "sympathetic breathing". I will use this breathing technique while laying in bed and then stop after about 15 minutes and then stop and just "let go" and not try to do anything else. Next thing I know I'm waking up in the morning. You can download the free mp3 version of it from the provided link.

From ArbolesdeArabia: Poppers I will one day upload my photos of riding in Fruita Colorada, Bryce Canyon, Sedonna, and the Kamakazee downhill ride Sierra Nevada Mountains (full gear, body armor and motocross helmet hitting speeds of 55mph while my brakes were burning!)
Yikes! I never made it past 44 mph, no body armour and not even a helmet (stupid me). Too many things can happen at high speed, and most of them are bad. Stay safe.
how many here have had this conversation before (especially just before the week-long visit by the circuit overseer)?:.
brother irregular, i don't believe we've received your report for last month.
did you turn it in yet?.
Next they'll say that if they are standing among "worldlies" and they are thinking about Jehovah they can put that down on their monthly report.
