  Hate to say this everyone, but this has been going on a long time. When I was a teenager, that is what we did. And like fatfreek said, do not blame the workers, this is management's fault by not putting in place a dishwasher on the floors and/or full carts of clean glasses from the kitchen that can be used. When you are a chambermaid...you are under time constraints. You have a quota to get as many rooms done in a certain time period. But still, yes it is gross, I will bring my own disposible cup for now on.

  Apology to all

  by wozadummy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is an apology to all for my recent posts, i did'nt mean to upset anyone .

  just coping with leaving the org ,and the past ,and trying to support my wife who, as some know from my prevoius posts has tried to deal with her pedophile elder(past) father for many years now thru the org ,and then being badly treated by them and her large extended family (most are witnesses and are trying to silence her), made me hit rock bottom.

  we are now taking action via the police and court system and she is barely coping ,and me being bi-polar does'nt help matters much and i fell into to an unreal state for a while as we don't have much support of any kind.

  Hey Woz, sounds like you and the wife are under extreme pressure...like the other posters said, just go slow and dont be hard on yourself. This will sort itself out, hopefully sooner than later.

  for you and your wife

  Faders: Would you prefer attention from the elders or not?

  by ringo5 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this question may produce some flaming, but so be it.

  i've noticed many are freaked out, annoyed, worried, or simply felt harrassed when faced with the prospect of a visit from the elders when trying to fade.

  others, or at times the same ones, complain that they recieved no inquiry from them at all or very little.

  I agree Ringo. In the beginning I did not want to see the elders and I am glad they never came to 'encourage me'. At that time, I was so mixed up. I knew in my heart that it was'nt right for me, but could I stand up to the elders? I dont think I could have. I would have felt bad and gave in.

  But now, I would love the chance to talk with an elder. I would love to ask the hard questions. The blood issue, UN issue, lack of love issue, change of light, etc...I know today I could stand up to them and there is no way they could make me feel bad.

  It would be a very interesting conversation, I am sure.

  Hi Juni, another thing you can do to save money is:

  If you take a med that is a tablet and can be cut in half. Ask for double the dose.

  ex: you take lipitor 40mg once a day 90 day supply is $234.97

  ask the pharmacist for lipitor 80 mg and split the pill in half...you will find savings this way.

  soooo lipitor 80mg/split 60 pills is $177.58, which in fact is a 120 day supply. (sorry i could not bring up price for 45 tabs) But at the Minit drugs they would sell you 60 because they do not like to break packages.

  And always always ask for generics. They are the same chemical makeup and they have the same power. Just much cheaper.

  If you have any questions, just pm me!
