two sisters were walking home after a movie one evening.
the oldest sister was named mathmatical (m), and the younger sister was named logical (l).
it was getting dark and they were still quite far from home.
That was a good one Special K!
That was unexpected! LOL, thanks for the laugh. Wish I could remember a joke for longer than 5 minutes, I'd actually tell that one.
I am with you Odrade. The worst thing anyone can ask me is: "Know any good jokes?" I never remember jokes like Special K's and it certainly has no impact if I print it out like a script, lol.

Congratulations Special K!!!!
i was told today that an elder in a nearby congregation has just told another elder in his congregation that he saw we celebrated christmas last year.
seems he was doing a job on our street (he's a window washer, like all good jw elders) and saw our decorations.. several things bother me about that.. 1. no one could have seen any of our decorations by driving by.
we had no lights outside.
One witness for df'ing if you have a Christmas treeTwo witnesses needed for df'ing if you molest a child.
Nice religion.
Yeah, but Sally you are forgetting one thing. Molesting a child doesn't have pagan roots, it only devestates them and ruins their life...The Christmas tree is Pagan. Jeez, you know they have to keep the Orgainzation clean of all pagan influence! What a religion.

a couple of weeks ago, one of the nicest men in the world passed out at work at one of our other stores.
his airway was blocked by cartilege (sp?
) build-up in his trachea.
I am very sorry Sally...that is really sad.
It was kind and thoughtful of the owner to be there for everyone, he sounds like a very nice person.
I couldn't even listen to the woman who was telling people that 'when it's your time to go, it's your time.'
Of course...we always have the other side of the coin with people like the woman above...I have never understood the comfort in that statement, but I hear people say it all of the time. It's the last thing you want to hear when you are grieving. I guess people just don't know what to say when unexpected death occurs...

Happy Birthday Beau!

how many times did you hear that before you were baptized?
i got a little tired of it when someone called me and said that.
this was the first sign of the control thing.
I told her that if it was common knowledge that someone was going through a difficult time, dont ask them what they need. Just figure out what they need and give it to them. If someone missed a meeting because they were just plain tired or wanted to go on a picnic, it is none of our business.
Crooked Lumpy Vessel,
You are a wise older sister indeed. What great advice!
I have another angle on the "I missed you" line. Remember, it generally is said in a condescending tone, designed so they can let you know how they are "spiritually strong" while you are "spiritually weak." I call it spiritual bullying, and it is no different than any other bully. They have to tear you down to make themselves feel better. Just another example of true Christian love at work!
When my wife and I were young and first married, we tended to miss meetings now and then. One week we missed the MS/Service Meeting, but we did go to the Sunday meeting. When we walked through the door of the Kingdom Hall, the "Queen Bee" Regular Pioneer (who grew up with my wife and knew me for 5 years) rushes up to us, sticks out her hand to shake, introduces herself and says: "I don't recognize you...what is your name??" Ahh the love we felt. We felt so good that we missed many more meetings after that and became irregular. Boy do I wish we had walked away then. We just had to go back for more punishment *sigh*

ok, i'm sitting in my sunroom, i got the grill going right outside cooking up some beautiful spareribs with my special hand-rub spices.
after that, i got 4 beautiful well marbled porterhouse steaks just waiting to be grilled to perfection.
my preference has always been using a charcoal grill.
Now that sounds good...I may have to fire up the grill! Can you hear my stomach growling??????

What is your preference, using gas (propane) or charcoal?
I prefer charcoal, but time only allows propane.

El Kabong,
You are not leaving the thread without sharing that rub and rib recipe are you?????? There is nothing like slow smoked ribs over a charcoal fire.

i stated on another thread that a "aux pioneer" cutie sister tried to flirt with me when counselling her -- there were other occasions also - my question -.
"have any of you on this board had people in responsible positions flirt with you -- or have those in responsible positions had sisters flirt with you?
"aux pioneer" cutie sister tried to flirt with me when counselling her -- i was questioning how she got 60 hours per month in and she stuck her chest in my arm - and was genearlly playing the cutie - it did not work but i was flattered as i am only human

Well, at least you found out the answer to your question Stilla!
When I was an MS There were times that I got the breast rub on the arm Stilla. I was a bit naive when I was a Dub, because I would think that there was a message...and then I would think... nahhhh!, no way! and I would put it out of my mind. Now that I look back on it...
