i was just reading one of those "who's popular on jwd" threads and thought...i know what i am without this.
and who needs to name a few others that i think are good when i got myself?
why am i so freakin' great?
ok tijkmo...go ahead and say burotto. Maybe it's better this way. You're promoting the food in big font...so it's good. Just don't ever say you're too good for a buritto....because I'll know you're lying.
mulan- 43 years...3 kids and grandkids? OK, you are awesome. PLUS you are in Washington which gets an extra awesomeness point.
I'm going to post something about Washington State and it's greatness soon.

im so awesome i dont have to eat burritos
uhhh, this can't be.....burritos are more awesome than people except maybe the people in mexico that thought of it. I'm sorry, but you can't be more awesome than this food....you just can't. Who can deny a burrito? There have been judges along the southern US border who've been swayed buy a rightious buritto. They are too awesome to go up against. Tijkmo...it's a lost cause to try and say you're better than a burrito---a real one not a convention one. You'll never win. BUT this doesn't mean you're not awesome. You can be awesome just don't say you don't need burritos...in fact, maybe you shouldn't say burritos at all.

im so awesome i dont need to say it myself
Well I say it to myself every so often because of the overwhelming abundance of awesome comments about my awesomeness. I tend to think of myself as regular and average but I know I'm more awsome.
I'm glad you're awesome too tijkmo. I hope you can eat as many burritos as I can.

Who the hell would eat convention burritos?? I asure you on the other items I could beat you only I haven't been to a convention since I was thirteen...BUT if I had I bet I could do all that stuff without batting an eye. I have a strong stomach....cept when cheap liquor is involved.

That's awesome gumby!
I can eat 3 burritos back to back stuffed with bonny scotch peppers and other--hot peppers......while drunk. And keep it all down.
Can you top that? I kick ass sooooo much I can't even tell you.

I was just reading one of those "who's popular on JWD" threads and thought...I know what I AM without this. And who needs to name a few others that I think are good when I got myself? Why am I so freakin' great? Just because--but I'll name some reasons for you here...
In no particular order-
1. My awesome debating skills. Those of you who know me from JWD know that when a thread comes up about Bush or Iraq or present-moment America or Ayn Rand I'm usually all over it. Sure sometimes I play the "tell me more" or "I'm going to sound level headed" (it's a bait and switch....or I haven't drank enough liquor) BUT most of the time I just head for "F**CK BUSH" or "screw Rand." See, I'm awesome because a lot of people would actually try to hear the other person out...but I'm realistic. I know I hate Bush and Ayn Rand. So I just go with it. I'm up front and to the point.
2. I know everything about the 80's and even some of the 70s when it comes to music. Go ahead, ask me anything. I'm so full of useless knowledge none of you will ever know. I know who was in Earth, Wind and Fire and I know Skid Row's first hit, I know what Alexander O'Neil sang and the name of any song from Michael McDonald . Try me if you want to...you won't stump me.
3. I stopped believing in the WTS when I was 13. Nuff said, isn't it?
4. I can hold my liquor. Maybe some of you aren't drinkers...and that's cool but you'll never know how to appreciate a person whom has built up their tolerance to booze so well that they can drink for 4 hours straight and still not need to throw up.
5. I taught myself how to read. I was home schooled by a working single mom. I totally kick ass.
6. I've eaten menudo more than once without gagging. I'm not saying it won't happen in the future....hopefully I won't be caught off guard in the future... but so far....when I've been presented with it, I've chowed down like it was the best most un-repulsive food in the world.
7. I can tell you what happens in most sitcoms that aired in the 80's, or aired as re-runs from the 70s. Ask me about Different Strokes, Gimme A Break, or anything and I can tell you about this useless crap. I was homeschooled and that left a lot of time in front of the tv. I'm serious though, if you don't know how an episode of Facts of Life, Little House on The Prairie, or MacGyver ended just ask me. I know.
This is just the tip of the iceburg but I'm going to end this initial post now...but maybe continue with my awesomeness later.
For all of you wondering what others here think of you...take a step back, stop caring, take a stiff drink and start listing how f*cking great you are here. We're all awesome (even if I'm the most awesomist--see I just made a word...it will be in Webster's Dictionary soon.)
crap, i had a rather lengthy im conversation today with my coworker who was raised jw, and among other things i brought up the pedo issue.
she hadn't heard anything about it but was very interested in learning more, so i referred her to silentlambs.
but apparently that site isn't up anymore.. anybody know of other websites that i might refer her too?
danny has a lot of links on his site that might be helpful until SL get back up
http://www.dannyhaszard.com/ ---look at "links"
Also you might want to look at http://www.exjws.net/sexabuse/index.htm I found it on www.freeminds.org
anyone have any good natural cures or "remedies" for insomnia?
bethel.
reading watchtowers doesn't count
Under74 Method 1-
1. Bourbon...I prefer Wild Turkey.
2. Sleep Aid from walgreens (it's a knock off of a more expensive brand.)
3. Stop thinking of clowns.
4. More bourbon.
5. If it's still not working after 3 hours take a benadryl for the final punch.
What? I'm not saying to get drunk off the bourbon and then take sleeping pills....just a little buzz.
Under74 Method 2-
Take a muscel relaxer (if available....if not then there's no reason to try method 2)
Wait 45 minutes ....and don't think of clowns.
Take a dose of Wild Turkey or other bourbon/ whiskey but shoot for a high proof.
Wait a while....if nothing happens and you feel like you can get up and walk around take a benadryl.
