What was your first car?

by nicolaou in

mine was an old fiat 127, i bought it 1983 and it was at least fifteen years old then!

the seats were vinyl and there were no rear seatbelts so i could send my girlfriend and her sister flying with each bend in the road!

it wouldn't go above 55mph and was rattling like rollercoaster when it finally got there.. the rear window fell out and it finally croaked in puff of blue/black smoke.

This was mine. My dad paid $75 for it and we painted it Midnight Blue. Not a bad car. My next was a 1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. Hated it. Then I bought my 1967 Pontiac Firebird. Wish I still had it.

You won't believe this: a KH turned into a church!!!

by observador in

about two years ago i posted here some pictures of a kingdom hall for sale.

that was quite something to me; had never seen something like it; never thought i would.

always thought that a progressive, ever increasing true religion would be always building and expanding, not selling.. but what wasn't my surprise when i passed by the other day and the damn hall had been sold; worse, the old, glorious hall had become a, gasp... a church!!.

Chloe

There's an old Kingdom Hall here that is now a VFW hall. I go past it almost everyday.

since my mom passed in january my dad has wanted me to go through her things and clear out her bedroom.

i procrastinated long enough so the past two days i have been sorting through it all .

i feel like i have been punched in the gut .

Chloe

(((hugs))) I can really relate. I lost my dad two months ago and today would have been his 84th birthday. I have yet to go through his things.

I wonder if the Peacock clan will make an appearance,.......

Oooh, that was my very favorite episode.

I'm so glad it's going to be a "stand alone" rather than a continuation of the conspiracy plot.

METH. It is every where and like a plague

recently a woman i worked with for three years, passed out at work.

she has three kids and is very nice.

i did not do things with her away from work, but talk to her every day.

Chloe

That stuff is what made my husband now my ex. He was shooting it up. I didn't even know for the longest time. It turned him into a completely different person. One therapist said he had permanent organic brain damage.

Meth totally wrecks lives. Recently, in a house just down the street from my father's, a couple that had been married for years ended up shooting and killing each other. Authorities think it was because of her meth use.

Movie Clips That Have Made You Flinch

by Clam in

dear all,.

there's not much that makes me wince, not at the movies anyway, but those things that have, have inevitably stayed in the memory.. i saw it a long time ago at the cinema, but the reservoir dogs scene where michael madsen cuts a policeman's ear off to the track stuck in the middle with you, was one such scene.

certainly couldn't watch it again.

"The Sixth Sense" when that ghost lady walks by the bathroom. Gets me every time.

The Waiting Game

ok first i want to thank all who have sent well wishes and prayers about this - thank you so much!

ok, yesterday was my onsite second interview.

it went well and i had a very nice time.

Chloe

Josie, congratulations on making it this far. A second interview means you are really in the running. Did you remember to write the thank you suck up letter telling them they are the greatest employer in the world? Sometimes that really helps too.

I'm lucky. Today is the last day at my current job as an accountant at a large hospital. On March 1 I will be starting as an accountant at the regional Hospice organization which is much smaller and more personal. I'm very excited. In the mean time, I and a friend are going to take on Las Vegas for 4 days.

Good luck.
