  i loved the recent topic asking what each of our screen names means.

  great question as i have always wondered about quite a few of our screen names.

  as i was reading the responses, i looked at holey cheeses - king of the juice's avitar and thought about how i have been wondering for the past three years, what the hell that is a picture of.

  All good answers, agree with most, especially the get togethers and islands or ocean fronts!

  I have to add pay off my kids bills, along with my own, set them up comfortably, set aside an account ( huge account!) for my grand-daughters future.

  And do the disappearing act! bem

  What First Stumbled You?

  by glitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what was the very first thing that "stumbled" you?

  mine was: i was about 5 or 6 years old and of course i used to find it really hard to find things in my bible at meetings (couldn't find the books quick enough before they moved onto the next paragraph and used to get frustrated).

  i had the idea to make little tabs for the edges of the pages so i could tell where the books were - so i asked mum to help me neatly write out the book names on tiny slips of paper and tape them inside.

  Are women more beautiful than men?

  by Vita Nuova in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all things being being equal, is the feminine gender endowed with more trancendent beauty than the masculine?

  before sending any stock replies like, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," let me just say that i acknowledge some degree of relative beauty insofar as man and woman bear their own distinctive perfections.

  but consider specifically which sex seems to bear more inherent grace to the end that it inspires our sense of harmony and desire to be more perfect ourselves.

  But saying that i also think that men do design some really beautiful and fantastic things. They have an inward beauty that comes out in theese things that at times leaves me awestruck.
  

  Men can be just as nurturing, caring and beautiful as women. I just think that men, still, are not encouraged enought to learn how to harness theese qualities in themselves........ Lehaa . I agree.

  Okay I am usually not a stickler for the letter of the word or-simpler put-don't usually nitpik for definitions but on defining "beautiful"-- means ~very pleasant to look at or hear. giving delight to the mind... On this basis for me I gotta say, Men are more beautiful.. although I appreciate Pretty women when I see them. I gotta say. certain males are only ones who have evoked delight! to my mind..or hearing...or have made me stop and think. nice to look at.

  I can relate to the artistic view of things.but since my art leans towards painting/drawing critters. which again ,as has been mentioned animal males or fowl males are usually the most beautiful.

  I too have seen some people purty on the out-side ugly on the inside...and visa/versa...Not pleasant out here to see,but gorgeous in-side.

  YOU can't tell me there aren't some butt ugly women and just as many butt ugly men.... sheila thats funny

  Dan-o you are so funny! DTman, thanks for the car pics my grand-daughter loves cars! Also point taken,never heard that comparison before.

  I've mentioned in chat mine is the first initials of my three children.

  Chose it specially for this site when I first came here I needed help,healing and a listening careing ear and I have found all those to an extent.. My reason for continuing to study wbts. was my children when it all crumbled it was because of a life no one can keep up and stay a pleasant ,happy, careing person.( that along with marrital deteriation) forced me to seek company.And my daughter was thinking of re-activation...She's on the JWD forum.... but she can remain annonymous long as she wants. My oldest son was df'd and has hurt the worst so I'm not posting his full name it's real un-common and it's his privacy,I'm respecting.The youngest, well he hollers the loudest and longest bout the borg. so it's not like there are no other Mikes out there huh? Gosh I can be wordy, sorry!

  So maybe I somehow knew this site would be the one to help my kids and I again in a better sorta way...and alas it has done so.

  B.R.my son......Eliza....my daughter..... and last but not least oneriest of all....Mike. = bem or bemsmom kids! mom.

  And heres one for my new found friends.. You folks are the greatest! right up there with my young-uns

  # 1 Most annoying for me is Brain F-a-r-t. Flyinhi' I so agree with you on that second word eeek ! Kids really abuse that word.

  Kids where I work say "Dude"..."Sweet"...."my bad"<----I use that one...."cracker"....for everyone ,most here are native american they just heard the word and use it they have no idea what it means....when they ask for change they need 50 cent....not cents.

  Then theres "I gurantee" an uncle can't make it through a sentence with-out saying that.

  I say "whatever" too much.

  " I told you so" is rude... oops sorry! condescending.

  I had to break the habit of saying "more or less". too many people asked me exactly what it meant. I had no answer that didn't confuse more.

  LOL Doodle---- lots of words in the intereview no information.

  4JWY....funny response' you made me laugh.

  OH and the girl I work with seems to either get in bed or out of bed at the "buttcrackofdawn" one or the other every day.
