List your fav drinks and how to make them...
by AK - Jeff inwifey and i were basically non-drinkers whilst in the dubland fantasy.
now we drink an occasional glass of wine or pina colada.. we're not very imaginative with it.
i know some understand the fruit of the vine well [like our buddy in oz, ozzie] and others enjoy mixed drinks.. which ones - and how do you make 'em?.

VERY IMPORTANT BBQ QUESTION
by vitty into all you experts (men of course) .
we have a gas bbq fitted with a lid, now i think the food should be cooked with the lid open cos i think with it shut , it just steams the food.
my hubby insists it should be kept closed when cooking cos it loses the heat.

And from a woman.... lid ON. Kevan does most of the grilling, on our little webber gas grill. Lid on. I'm more skilled with charcoal... again, lid on. There are some times when it's lid-off, but that is when you only want to sear the surface closest to the grill keeping the rest of the meat cool.

Thanks for holding the door.... *** SMACK ***
by Elsewhere inyesterday something happened that really pissed me off.
i was walking out of a store that has two doors you have to walk through... the inner door and the outer door.
basically a small foyer.. as i'm going through the inner door i notice a woman is behind be so i go on through and hold the door for her... she went right on through without a word and then went through the outer door, pushed it open and then let it fly back into my face.

What EllieJ said! I will hold the door for anyone, and thank any one who holds the door for me. It's simply common courtesy. Sadly, something that is lacking in many people.

"Saying that atheism is a religion is like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby."
But I'm a non-stamp collector... you saying I ain't got a hobby? <grin>

Religion? I have no passions for any organized school of thought. And inspite of the minor controversy, Athiesm can be considered a religion, especially when the athiest is passionate and into proving their point. Even Alcoholics Annonomous can be considered a religion.
Spirituality is a different matter.
Even though I believe in The Christ, I consider myself a pagan/panthiest by label who belives in the ultimate "Oneness" of everything.
It has taken me the last 30 years' journey being OUT of the bOrg to come up with my own understanding. Since coming to JWD a couple years ago, I've been challenged to my beliefs, torn them apart, tossed out the stuff that no longer fits, and put them back together again. Something I think is important to do every now and again.

I Am Here Only To Experience
by FMZ inrecently, i was sat here at my computer, feeling completely hopeless.
life was getting me down, and a few recent bombshells dropped on me were taking me further into the ground.
i asked myself how i could possibly let this happen to my life, how i could find myself in this position..

BrendaCloutier
That is really powerful, (((FMZ))). That's a great daily affirmation/mantra.
Like Satanus (Hi!<waves hand>) I disagree with this:
My life is not my own.
This feels better
My life is my own.

Ooooo way kewl mask! I suppose they won't let you keep the cat scanner, eh? That's ok. We have 4 cats that do a good job of it here.
Hugs and blessings.
