last night, my wife zazu, had a stroke.

she is in the hospital, and will be there for a least a week.

she can still think clearly and converse.

((((Carl and Zazu))))

I'm sorry to hear that Carl. I know it is hard to see a loved one in pain. I hope she gets well soon, and gets a full recovery.

Take care.

Tell us about your Profile Pic

by Beck_Melbourne in

just wondering about some of the profile pics...i think its nice to know a bit about the person you want us see, or the person you don't want us to see.

so what were you thinking when the pic was taken, how long ago, and where were you?

mine was taken last month, just after my 36th birthday.

Vivamus

Mine was taken about two months ago. I was experimenting with the new webcam my dad had given me.

I cut out half, et voila....my profile pict.

if that is the appropriate word for it.

i was walking towards the postal office, and i wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings.

and all of a sudden i stopped dead in my tracks, cause i was in collision course with another human being.

Vivamus

Ozzie, the eyes...well, she looked straight through me. I think she recognized me, before I saw her. So she must have had some moments to pull that icey-look up.

The skies are grey and it is getting colder. Soon, and winter will be here, my favorite time of year.

Lol @ Beck and others that would confroint the JW. I don't think I am capable of that, I have never done anything like that! I have just said "hello". But I was surpised by the encounter, perhaps next time, I will be prepared....goodness, it is just like a return-visit....

Hugs, Viv.

before my dad went into surgery he asked that i contact the people on this board and let them know how much it ment to him much it ment to him over the past month or so to be able to talk with all of you.. this is one of the few things in his life he could still enjoy.dad wanted to especially thank craig (ona ) for accepting him and apologies for anything he said that might have offended you.. my father was in so much pain over the past seven years ,god must have thought it was time,dad passed a few houres after surgery.. dad asked not to have a service and will be cremated than placed in an urn ( as he said "so he can keep an eye on mom" ) we all loved him deeply and he will be missed.

i will leave the company email should anyone want to,i will print them out for mom and the family to read.. again thanks to all, our love is with each and every one of you.. matthew mc cune [email protected]

I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that I can offer, that will make the hurt any less. I wish there were.

Give your mum the support you both need right now. Being with family and loved ones will give you and them strength to get through these days.

Love, Viv.

I just had a break-through!!! If that is the appropriate word for it.

I was walking towards the postal office, and I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings. And all of a sudden I stopped dead in my tracks, cause I was in collision course with another human being. So, I stopped, and altered course, when I recognized this woman.

Yes, your getting the point I'm sure, it was a sister, whom I knew very very well, from my old cong! My heart did NOT jump up, as it did when I was first DFd. I just smiled a brilliant smile, said hello and walked by. I am in admiration of the sisterly qualities by this sister though. Her face would have been the envy of top-poker players. She didn't flinch or anything, just looked straight through me, and kept on walking. Admirable quality for any JW.

Anyway, I only had to laugh about it. I am not hurt, depressed or anything! I am so proud of myself, I am immune to the shunning by surprise.

Hugs to you all,

Viv.

friends

i called today, then emailed my resume and they asked me in for an interview tomorrow - and if i'm accepted - i start on monday for six weeks paid training.

for those who know me, this is huge.

this job would take me off of social assistance just like that.
