  Assemblies suck

  by Nosferatu in

  didn't it drive you up the wall how, after a long week of working or going to school, you had to spend your entire weekend at an assembly?

  the saturday and sunday that you could've spent catching up on some yard work, or even relaxing was wasted away by sitting in a bunch of chairs, listening to stuff you've heard many times before.. i know this used to drive me up the wall.

  it felt like i had absolutely no time to myself during these weekends.

  I loved them when i was a little kid, we lived in a country town so assemlies always ment giong to a bigger town an staying fot he weekend, we always got KFC for dinner, yum.

  When we moved to a bigger city it hated it, never got to do anything different. Only exciting part was checkin out the cute guys.

  Once I got married andhad kids it was terible, having to get up real early and get everyting ready, pack lunches. Stop halfway ther to feed the baby. Chast kids around all day, yuck. A few times I said I wanted to go home, he diden't so I told him to get a lift with a friend and I was taking the kids home.

  Don't know why her wanted to stay, he only slept through the whole thing while I chaced the kids aroung everywhere.

  Lonely JW Ex Hubbie

  by Lehaa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just got back from picking up my kids from my ex.. he'd called me to come pick them up early as he was trying to get some work finished and our daughter was cranky and getting in the way.

  not a problem, it was not his weekend to have them, he's had them to help me out.. any way i get there and he looked terrible, realy sad and beaten.. i said he looked really bummed, he said he was and had been for a while.

  i asked him if he had anyone to talk to and he said no.. i really felt sorry for him, really felt like inviting him round for dinner and a bottle of wine but knew that was not a good idea.. we stood there talking for about an hour.

  thanks all.

  Trouble is I don't want to get too close and give him hope that we'll get back together, he has a habit of junping to conclusions. And that will just make him worse.

  I have COC but i'm still reading it, he doesn't like reading either.

  I'm hoping i can get him alone to a meetup. I'll have to take things slowly though.

  Thanks for all your suggestions.

  Would you change your past if you could?

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to live with many regrets, thinking that i'd screwed up.

  recently, i've been thinking that regretting past actions is not constructive.

  sure, we should base our current actions by assessing the results of our former actions, but regretting decisions we've made is, in effect, yearning to change the person we are now or rejecting ourselves.

  I've concluded that self-reflection is beneficial, but regret is bad.

  Regret is living in the past, self-reflection is looking toward the future.

  I don't think I would.

  I'm not happy with some of my life choices, but I don't really regret anything. Hell things could be worse.

  I'm happy with myself and have learned to love myself.

  If I had not made the chioces I did I would not be where I am today, and I'm happy with my life right now.

  Plus I wouldn't have the two beautiful children I have today, they were worth all the heart ache and pain I've been through. And I would be prepared to go through it all again just 4 them.

  2. friends

  here in quebec, ordinary unleaded is 94.4 cents a litre.

  (that's the cheapest gas!!!).

  there are 3.78 liters per american gallon, so this would give $3.57 a us gallon..... what's the price of gas in your area?

  Thanks Jim,

  Don't worry about the negativity, it's the reality of the situation and I'm enough of a realist to understand all that you said.

  The same thought have been going through my mind as well.

  I have no intention of trying to move my kids out of the country and have no intention of leaving them. It's not fair on them or their father, plus I love Australia too much to leave it.

  As far as them moving here, we'll come to that rurdle when we get to it. Both of us do want to get remarried but are not about to jump into things with out eyes closed.

  Australia is just about to ease it's immigration laws again as they have a need for skilled workers, so hopefully that will go in out favour. He's also from a country that Australia is happy to have people immigrate from, so that's a plus for us too.

  Thanks for your thoughts and I will check up on those forums when the time comes, for now it's real early days, were just enjoying the close friendship for the time.

  Thanks

  Lehaa.
