  Anyone here ever been homeless?

  by maybesbabies in

  i am curious, our family was homeless on and off for several years.

  i am trying to communicate to my little brother that growing up this way does not preclude one from a normal life.

  is anyone willing to share a story that i can pass on to him??

  I was briefly a couple of times, MB. Sleeping in my car for a while; luckily it was a full-size 78 Dodge sedan and not a compact but even so....

  The other time I was "kinda" homeless. Working a crappy convenience store night shift job with only an old motorcycle for transportation (yes it was wintertime and yes it rained a lot) and a friend of mine let me crash at his apartment. Thing is, the only space available was in his utility room so I slept on the floor in there next to the water heater.

  Being without a place to live, not being sure when you'll get your next meal, being truly poor, that can be a good experience if you learn from it. It can make you more determined to succeed and never go back there.

  one of the photos you won't see from nasa's latest mars mission is this one i acquired from one of my sources there at nasa.

  they have indeed found evidence of life on mars but have classified the photo as above top secret due to its implications.

  Nice catch, Irongland. That's where I snatched the pic of the trailer and that awesome Camaro.

  Now I will say this though. I have lived in trailers myself and may yet again. I grew up in a single-wide. Nothin' to be ashamed of.

  Gopher, it's different pronunciations. Mobile, Alabama is pronounced "Moe-BILL". But yes, first thing you see when you cross the Alabama state line is usually a trailer with the rebel flag hung as a curtain in one of the windows.

  just curious if there's any major metal heads here?

  i'm a huge opeth fan, and death metal for that matter.

  All the 80's metal definitely! This new stuff is just noise to me. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
  

  I heard one song by Skrewdriver and thought they were cool.....then I heard the rest and said "forget that". But I still have my mp3 of "Sweet Home Alabama" by Skrewdriver, just play it for laughs now. It's so bad it's good.

  Hidden Images; last time.

  thanks again to all those who responded with an open mind to my postings regarding hidden images in the wt publications, but wow, i have heard from some pretty forceful personalities who are apparently still pissed off about getting duped by the wtbts.

  so many flames, so many flamers .

  calm down, get some pot, get some beer, get some therapy, but please get over it and yourselves.

  Could it maybe be simply the artist adding a hidden signature to the illustration in question? Something that would slip past the old geezers and 99.9% of the r&f but that he or she could point out discreetly to another dub and let dub-lore take its course? Or maybe they just thought it would be fun to slip something in here and there that may or may not be something, but that would catch the eye of that one percent out there and get a little attention?

  Hey! What about the picture on the last page of the JW songbook? All the guys (priests?) singing? Isn't there an extra foot or pair of feet in that picture? I seem to remember that being pretty widely noticed. Hmmm!

  Gee whiz! Some people see a global conspiracy hiding behind (or within the features of) every tree for cryin' out loud!

  Dave, you're somethin' else man! I'd drink a beer with you any day.

  p.s. Dave, speaking of airbrushing.....I may want to hit you with some questions about airbrushing sometime.....

  my jw girlfriend was here for coffee this morning, and gave me the assembly report.

  her husband told her not to tell me one thing because it would give me "ammunition", but of course she told me.

  there were no baptismal candidates.

  ...people are spending too much time (and money) planning big fancy anniversary parties, and weddings that are too elaborate.

  Translation: They aren't spending enough time in field service selling the Organization's publications and the money spent on the parties and weddings should be going to the Organization instead. Duh!

  Sounds like she'll figure that out soon enough Mulan.

  Bttt.

  A very Merry Christmas to all of y'all, a very happy and safe and FREE one.

  And to all our armed forces: Know that this and every Christmas you spend on foreign soil that you are in our thoughts and hearts. May your armor be strong and your assaults lethal. Carry freedom abroad as you defend it here.
