to all you animal lovers out there.. i awoke this morning to find that my dog had passed away during the night.. he was a golden retriever cross and the baby of the family.
he loved the kids and would lie down so my 2 year old could sit and lie on him.. he dug out of the back yard and got into my gardening stuff.
he ate half a box of snail bait.. i'm feeling really guilty, sould not have left it out.
Would love to get a new dog, but i'll have to move soon. Not sure whether i'll be able to find somewhere where i can have a dog. I still have 2 cats though, oh and my kids.
Have to tell my son tonight. How he's been through so much to, how do i tell him.
Thanks for all your support. You guys are all starting to feel like family.

I'm feeling really guilty, sould not have left it out. It was high on a shelf and he climbed up to get it. Should have had it locked in the shed. He must have had a horrible death.
If any thing else bad happens to me this month i don't know how i'll cope. Will anything in my life ever go right again.
for those of you that remember the story a couple of weeks ago about my 4 year old daughter that declared us a witness free zone to her grandparents (my extremely devout parents!!!
) well the little minx strikes again.
i have just got off the phone from my mother.
and EVEN made a fathers day card for fathers day today!!!
Ask your mother to look up the origins of fathers day and she'll find that there are no pagan origins (just made up to even out mothers day), and that it is up to each individual witness as to whether they celebrate it or not, although i'm sure that you would be frowned upon if you did.
How much stuff did we believe just because we were told to.
Did you know that if you that even if you are a baptised witness, in good standing in the organisation, but do not go witnessing that the liason committe will not get involved if you need them.
I was told that by the elder who held my medical enduring power of attourney when i was having my first child.
Very comforting.
That remins me must write to him and let him know that i no longer need his services.
it is very hard to condense 30 yrs of "in-law abuse" into a sentence or two, but hopefully some of you can relate and if you have found a way to cope/deal with it i'm all ears.
basically, my spouse and i have stayed together for 30-plus yrs because of being witnesses, despite extreme differences of values and goals.
half-way thru the lives of our children we both discovered the fallacies of wts and thankfully left this simultaneously.
Dear 1m welcome.
I hope i can help.
My parents were witnesses and always had a difficult relationship, very different backgrounds, did not see eye to eye a lot. They stayed together "because of the kids" and because" they were good witnesses".
They divorced after my sister and I left home and got married. The divorce was a bit messy and did stress us a bit, a lot sometimes. Probably to do with the fact that they left the organisation as well, and my dad was having an affair.
I do wish that they has done it years ago as the home life was quite stressful at times.
i was married for 10 years and the whole relationship did not work, a lot of fighting etc. (and i never got on with my inlaws, they've never liked or aproved of me). In the end i decided that I did not want to put my kids, 6 and 2, through the same child hood that i had so my husband and i are now separated. Things are much better under our roof now.
My sister and i survived our parents divorce and are just happy that our parents are now a lot happier. They now have got on with their lives and are now married.
It was all tough to go through but things are good now.
You need to work out what is best for you but i thought that this may help.
I wish you all the best in whatever you do,
i have been calling my kids for some time now.
i am moving far away soon, and since i haven't had any contact with my daughters, i called them to let them know i was moving, and would like to say goodbye, before i flew away.
weeks went by, as ususal, and no response.
That's soooo great. I'm sooooo happy for you.
Girls always need their Daddy, no matter how old they are.
i've just started being treated for bipolar disorder, used to be called manic depression.
medication i'm now (lexapro) on seems to be working really well.
i do worry about how my being bipolar will effect my kids.
My nephew just told me that his doctor told him they are thinking that antiseizure meds work so well for bipolar because it's possible mania is a seizure of the mood part of the brain. Very interesting to ponder.
Very interesting in deed. When i was a very small child i used to have epileptic seizures, will have to ask my doctor about that.
Thanks for that info.
obstacles that we face in life have a tendency to relly get our attention, and tax our knowledge,and wisdom to overcome them.
when we're faced with problems we have to figure out solutions.
no problems,, no need for solutions.. evolution, the survival of the fittest, or perhaps sometimes survival of the smartest,, this has to be the force behind the development of the greater human brain apart from other animals.
The whole paradise idealic thing reminds me of the matrix. First one everyone lived in perfection, it did not work.
Do we want the JW matrix or the real world. Give me the real world.
just a question or comment about the 2004 district conventions.
is there a move by the wt society to have the district conventions in smaller venues??
or are they trying to lower their costs?
I love the smaller venues,when I go, so much easier with little kids. Even if you have to drive further it's easier. There are less stairs and the toilets are always closer.
Only downside is that more people know when you're outside "getting some fresh air"

Thanks to all, felling better. Will definately talk to the kids about it when I think they can handle it, already been through a lot this month.
Thanks for the link blondie and will definately gove it a look.
Do have close friends that keep an eye on me and make sure my meds are working. I'm really careful when i change meds and only do it under strict watch of my doctors.
