  I too cannot remember what I did first, as I had already done most of the things before I left! Drinking, smoking, drugs, porneia, you name it. I think the first truly worldly thing I did was celebrate Xmas, and it was wonderful!!

  so a friend is getting married in vegas on the 22nd, a guy who'e been a good friend for over 10 years now.

  he doesn't expect me to come, but i told him i would if i could find a way to reasonably.

  well, with a three day sale that has tickets for 79 bucks, i guess i can't argue that i can't find a way, lol.

  Go to the M&M store and check out the 3-D movie. Go to Madalay Bay and visit the aquarium. Ride the roller coaster at New York New York. Go to the Hoover dam. My husband is a recovered alcoholic, and we went on our first sober trip to Vegas last month. I thought it might be a bummers, but there is a ton of stuff to do besides drink and gamble! I would suggest renting a car though. Walking up and down the strip can be hell on your feet.

  So, the day has finally come. I'm finally going to see a therapist to work out all my issues. I'm very nervous. I know it's needed, but I'm anxious about discussing my problems with a stranger, and worried that they won't understand all my jw issues. Has anyone else been to therapy, and was it beneficial?

  howard stern is leaving clear channel because they didn't stand up to him when the fcc gave them presure.

  so in 2006, howard stern will go to satelite radio.

  my opinion first and then the quote... .

  I love Howard. I hope he's on XM, not Sirius, or I'm in trouble! Clear Channel is clearly smoking crack.

  I was at work and didn't feel it. One of my coworkers did and pointed out how all the light fixtures were swinging around. Kind of creeped me out seeing as it's almost October...the world series...you know.

  I am so sorry! I lost one of my babies in may..hit and run. I work at a vet, and unfortunately see this sort of thing everyday. I know how difficult it is to lose a pet. They are always there for you and they never ever judge you. They really are some of the best friends you can find. Hang in there, it will get easier.
