I named MY first cat "Wellington" after the boot. It was original in America...since they're not really called Wellies over here! All my friends thought it was a cool name. He was totally a cool cat.

I had a gerbil given to me waaaay back when that was named "Darth Vadar" (the movie just came out) it wasn't long before I had to change his name to "Princess Leia" and it became apparent why the gerbil was given to me!

Worst experiences with ex spouses

by greendawn in

jw
friends

what were some of the worst experiences you had with ex spouses or ex boyfriends/girlfriends?

one of my ex girlfriends just left me suddenly without ever saying anything in advance and i never saw her again for a long time and that happened by coincidence.

her disappearence was totally unexpected.

Seeking Knowledge

Yikes..I was all ready to throw in my "fun with the ex" story until I read these. Jgnat...you are such a strong person to endure that and come out on top. good for you and your children

Honesty..how sad for you about your dog.

I think the worse thing I experienced with my ex was listening to him blatently lie to me about a girl, not once but twice and then find out a month later that he married her. This was right after professing his everlasting love for me and telling me he wanted to come back but "needed to be alone for awhile" A month....and he never told me about it...nor did he have our son a part of it. Another life based on a lie.

I'm glad it's not me this time.

Signs of Spring

by poppers in

this morning i saw my first robin of spring - always a nice sight here in northern wisconsin.

there were also lots of newly arrived redwing blackbirds singing happily - after their winter absence the sounds of their calls was so refreshing to hear.

one of my favorite signs of spring, believe it or not, is a faint scent of skunk smell in the air.

Seeking Knowledge

Spring?? What's that??

Ok..not so bad, the snow is melting so there is still hope. I look forward to seeing my tulips poking thru the snow. With the amount that melted yesterday & warmer temps coming, that should be very soon!

When I was preggo with my son I took water aerobics. Somehow I managed, according the doctor, to slip the tendon on my big toe of my right foot. I was in massive pain until I finally went to the doc, and he put me in a "boot" which stablized my foot and made me look like Frankenstein...well a pregnant Frankenstein anyway. And it reinforced my belief that exercise will kill you eventually

SO!! I sympathize with your pain!! Ain't no fun!

Hope you feel better.

Advice on Separating & Divorce

by damselfly in

we have a few posters on here that are going through a divorce or a separation.

in order to respect their privacy i will not be naming them in this thread.

do you have advice to give them?

Seeking Knowledge

None of it is easy....give yourself some time & don't do anything in the heat of the moment. Walk away, take stock of the situation & then decide how to react. It's not easy.

Divorce is the end of something....give yourself time to grieve. Do something productive, get a hobby, join a club anything to introduce yourself to new things. (easier said than done sometimes) but don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself....or try not to anyway...

DO allow yourself time to grieve. If this means locking yourself in your room & bawling your eyes out, so be it. DO IT. Don't hide the pain from yourself. DO try to keep your children (if any) away from this part tho. It's not easy on them in the first place. Write a letter to your ex and let it all out. Don't mail it....you'd be surprised how theraputic writing can be.

It sucks, to be sure, but TIME will heal you. Get out & date when you are ready, don't rush it and don't marry someone else thinking that will make the pain go away as it won't.

If your ex is a jerk...remember the opposite of love isn't hate..it's apathy....don't react!

hey, just thought i'd do a quick intro, share some song lyrics that have spoken to me, and then have a look around.

my name's erin/froggi, and i've been disfellowshipped for 4 years, since i was 19 years old.

i was raised a jw, and my homelife was actually quite idyllic, typical 50s sitcom stuff, like the cleavers.

Welcome Froggi!

Glad to have you here, welcome welcome!
