this is one of the sadest days in my life, my beloved husband marco passed away this morning at 5:15 am.. it has been a dreadful day.

but my dear friend was with most of the day while we went togerther to make funeral arrangements.. that was really hard on me.

i have done nothing but cry and cry all day, i finally fell asleep a few hours ago while my friend diane was here and she let me sleep.

Otherwise Engaged...

by LittleToe in

just a little breaking news:.

after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

Most sincere CONGRADULATIONS!

Love and hugs to you Both!

What's the most stupid comment a JW told you?

i remember when i was new in the "troof", i was walking in a mall and a jw window washer saw me, and asked, "what are you doing here"?.

yeah, he had a good reason to be at the mall, cause he was washing windows, but i had no business there.... i guess he thought that i was being seduced by material stuff.... and i was stupid enough, not to tell him, mind your own business fu**er....

Confronting an elder in Salvation Army Thriftstore, who tried to witness to me, I brought up the 1975 debacle. His statement to me was, "We apologised for that."

C is doing a good job keeping his distance and relying on others with judgement calls.

Mouthy, if you're still having problems, let me know and I'll look into it further. So far your account looks just fine. Could be some cyber gremlin keeping you from having fun!

Y'all come express yerselves, ya'hear?

we seldom get snow in this part of the country until january or february.. but, it is snowing today and the forecasters say we will have it like this for a few days too.

also odd for here.

usually it will snow and the next day, it rains and it's all gone again.. so pretty!!!

We're expecting snow and freezing temps in the 20's tomorrow through Wednesday in Portland, Oregon.

I said no and all hell has broke out

johns mom called again today 8 times to be exact and she is insisting that if her precious gets out of prison while jake is in california it is my responsibility to go pick him up.

also i am supposed to go buy him a belt to hold his pants up since he has gained weight so he can wear his designer clothes home from prison.

i told her in a nice way i can't do that and he can use his bus ticket to get home.

BrendaCloutier

(((( Hambeak )))) "No" is the most difficult word I had to not only learn to pronounce propertly, but to use wisely, effectively, and learn not to back down. That and allowing the answering machine to screen my calls. Hugs friend.
