I smoke a big ol' fat greenie and have a couple of beers............and I do the same thing when I have a good day, soooooooooooo...................Gumby
I wouldn't mind one of those beers, if you could spare one. Actually 2 or 10 would be nice.
ColdRedRain, I used to kickbox. It is a good stress release..and gave me a six pack at one time! (its gone now)
I'm a pain in the @$$ to everyone

I go to the pet store and play with the animals. For some reason I get off on the idea that I've brought joy to a kindred life form;
I like to go to the pet stores, too, and hold puppies and ferrets. I wish it was daytime I would go. I totally need something to cheer me up.

i have a question, call it a brain fart or what...but i have learned that a former jw friend of mine died recently and the cause of death was acute methadone intoxication...what is methadone exactly used for?
My mom, who has chronic pain used to have methadone prescribed.
so my sister sent me an email, saying something along the lines of "no matter what stupid things i do...know that i love you".
and at first i am thinking, she is suicidal, but i am now thinking that she is going to leave her husband.
i think its getting close to that time.
Stress...good and bad. Only you guys understand how weird our families can get...sometimes I think I am the only one with a dysfunctional family. It is good to have this board.
My family is dysfunctional and none of them are even JW's
It's good that your sister has you to be there for her. I had a similar phone call from a JW friend a few days ago. She was very emotional and "Just wanted to let me know not to ever think she doesn't love me."
Great about the job

i got an email from a girl i know who is either teaching or helping teach kindergarten.
she had questions about a 5 year old boy who is going to homeschool next year, and is a jw.
she remembered that i am an ex-jw so emailed me to ask for any information that would help her get in the mind of this boy (who seemed to want to celebrate xmas).
Aww come on guys. No ideas for her?

Jwbot,
I don't really know much on the subject because although I was homeschooled, I was not raised a JW. I know how isolating homeschooling can be (or homeNOTschooling, as was my case) It must be really really lonely for the JW kids who are not only in a cult, but are kept away from having normal friendships by not even going to school with non-JW kids. That's double bad.
Your email you wrote to the teacher was really good. I'm sure it helped her to understand better what's going on with the little JW boy. Poor kid.

*edited because for some reason my font doesn't want to show up right..that's why it's highlighted..makes it all show up. hmmmm
it seems to me that a recurring theme for exiting witnesses is not their questions of faith (most have researched mightily before coming here, or had their own crisis of conscience), but the lack of fellowship that will happen if they leave.
it feels good to be part of a group, to feel wanted and needed.
the problem arises when that fellowship is not based on you as a person, but by what image you present, or how much you "produce".
That is a good idea
I actually thought about working at a place like that...until I thought about the time I used to volunteer at one. I liked it alot, but those areas of the buildings where the very sick ones stay, just can't walk through there without crying for some reason. Maybe when I get my car I'll think about doing that again. It's a really great idea you have
