  >>but like I said, zero motivation.

  When I've experienced that but HAD to accomplish something, I set a timer. I would work for 5 minutes, then I got an M&M, or 5 minutes to play a Flash game, or anything. Then reset the timer and go again.

  It works for me because I can do ANYTHING for 5 minutes, but sometimes I can't bring myself to work continuously for 10 minutes. Over the course of three hours, I'll have done 1-2 hours of work. Which is considerably better than the zero hours I'd've put in otherwise.

  Just a thought.

  It's an excellent book, a good one to lose yourself in while waiting for night to fall.

  it noah took 120 years to build the ark,.

  how soon after the first logs were cut up would the first death watch beetles, woodworm, ichneumon flies, fungal rots start to eat at the gopher wood?

  I'm more interested in knowing, than winning, so let me contribute what I have so far:

  TLWIMW could be "The Lord Works In Mysterious Ways"

  If so, then what is HWTP?

  Had an interesting dream the other night

  a friend and i were trying to get somewhere fast, and i knew that it would be quicker if we ran through this church.

  so we went through a secret entrance and found ourselves in the church.

  she said, "wow, i've never broken into a church before.".

  This is a relatively new friend, so no recruiting. But that's an interesting angle. I'll give it some thought.

  >>where were you trying to get to in a hurry?

  I don't recall, and I'm not even sure if it was ever explained. The "get there in a hurry" feeling may have just been an excuse to need a shortcut.

  Don't get a Nun cross.

  two nuns, sister catherine and sister helen, are traveling through europe in their car.

  they get to transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light.

  suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny little dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses through the windshield.

  And I replied, "That's nothing. The hard part is when you try to break out!"

  In the dream, I thought I was being serious, that it would be difficult to physically get out. And it was. There were many, many doors to get through, it was dark, I was concerned we'd get caught.

  But when I woke up and was reviewing the dream, I couldn't help but think it was actually a reference to how hard it is to break out of the JW cult.

  I don't have many JW dreams, so this was kind of fun. Thought I'd share it.

  What prompted you, if I may ask, to disassociate?

  I should probably mention that I'm at work and can't get to mySpace. (Blocked by our firewall) You've probably already answered my questions there. RTFM, eh? I'd happily R if I could get to the M!

  Hi Brooke,

  Welcome! What prompted you, if I may ask, to disassociate? And where do you stand now, belief-wise?

  Just curious.

  If I order now do I get a free set of steak knives?

  Yes, but you won't see them. You can be assured though that they will be "invisibly present"! Dave
