ahh yes, it's the end of another work / school week once again.
it's time to breathe in some friday night air, kick back, relax, maybe knock a few back... .
the question is, what are my fellow jwd-ers doing tonight??.
TGIF
Tonite I drop the little one off with his buddy at the local Little Gym to have some much deserved "adult" time with some friends. I have no idea what we are doing. We've done bingo and pool so far, I suggested roller skating but they don't seem to want to take me up on that. What can I say? It was something!
Cheers

a family in my congregation, who has recently fallen on some hard times, just had some hard times fall on them.
last saturday, a very large tree fell right square on their house.
no one was harmed, but it definitely hurt their wallets.

THAT'S what it's all about! Good for you. That was awesome.

Congratulations for making a 1000 posts!!! I don't think that I will ever get to a 1000 posts.
Ditto...I'm lucky I have 300...! Pretty darn proud of myself there!
woo hoo..there is a volcano trying really hard to erupt in my state!!
so cool..it's on an island by itself and is currently experiencing indigestion.
just thought i'd share....i don't look forward to the ash fallout or anything, but it's pretty exciting to see mother nature at work!.
Very welcome..I think it's pretty fascinating...from what I hear Homer hasn't got a whole lot yet, but they are nervous!! They are thinking tsunami's at the moment, they'd be affected....let's hope not! Where are you Effervescent?? Will you get any ash fallout?

No, I'm in Anchorage, this is about 355 or so miles southwest of us. This volcano is located on an uninhabited island. The most damage they are predicting is from ash fallout, but it doesn't seem to be alot of that yet, just steam....

well..i have a computer now... my son (42) just received an e amil from one of his and my deceased hubby's old model airplane club's buddies... i pulled it up and just started bawling... hubby got sick so fast he didn't have time to finish building a model airplane for one of the guys in the club.
so one of the guys in the club bought all hubby's equipment and airplanes and trailer to haul them in.
(big planes).
Snoozy
That is so cool that they did that in memory of your husband. Bittersweet eh? I hope you feel better & once you figure out how to post a picture, we'd love to see it!

i recieve many pms, emails, and more recently, many thread replies which ask me a simple question.. why are you disassociating yourself?
why not just fade?.
well, here's why.. my mother, and her mother, are in the "truth".
Richie:
I admire your ability to speak whats on your mind in a mature manner, your knowing what you want out of life, your humor and your thoughtfulness when it comes to your mother. I don't post very often, but I've read most everything you've posted on. Good luck to you. Hopefully your mother will appreciate your honesty and respect you for your own decisions in life. You seem to be a great young man & I see alot for you in your future.

i know that we all felt the witnesses were to over the top on their restriction on sex, but do we want our children to be sexually active the way we wanted to be?
for example, should they have sex in high school with their girl/boy friends?
should they not be committed to anyway, and just have sex with whoever feels good at the moment, or better yet, who ever is willing?
My daughter waited until she was 16 and informed me of her decision. As long as she's been able to understand we've talked about it, the possibilities, and why I thought she should wait until she's older. Of course, that didn't happen, but now that we are over that hump (no pun intended), she is more aware than ever of the responsibility. They are taking precautions and as much as I don't like it, at least they are thinking in the right direction. She knows I'm against it, and she knows she better never bring that into my house, but she knows I'm here for her. She's a smart kid, doesn't drink or do drugs, always in by curfew etc. She's brave as well, and it could be worse... I suppose, but I'm always worried about that one time. I did cry when she first told me, hard to think about that beautiful little girl with the curls trying to handle adult issues, but all I can do is be there for her & educate her as much as I can!
On the other hand, the boys father is allowing them to "get together" at his place which I don't agree with. Why make it easy? Is that the difference between having a boy & a girl? I've told her of my concerns and what I don't agree with, but hey, she's gonna do it anyway. At least she's got a better relationship with me as her mother than I ever did with my mother at that age.
So to answer the question....No I don't want her to be sexually active, but short of locking her in her room & going out with her all the time, not much I can do about it now!
