  i can't remember as it's been so long ago.

And what about those ones that qualify, but their spouses are gossipers, backstabbers, or don't do the 10 hr. thing a month? Do they get to go too? What a crock.

  To All Of The Kids Who Survived the .....

  first, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

  they took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.. .

  then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.. .

  Hi Brenda!

  Thanks too for taking us down memory lane. Isn't that the truth? How did we survive? And how did our kids survive? My oldest is 37 and youngest 28. Does anyone else here remember pop beads - girls made necklaces out of them, they came in different light colors, and you could CHEW on them when you were bored?

  Yep. Kids then knew how to play imaginary games. Do kids now play hide and seek at night? Ride bikes to the nearest creek and pick up all kinds of gross creatures?

  We wouldn't need any protection sonnyboy as our flock includes an eagle (LittleToe). We'd be a "congregation" of all kinds of birds who don't have any pecking order like at the Hall. We'd be flying high - us little songbirds though may need to cling on to you bigger guy's backs at times though for a rest. O.K.?

  Hi Legolas! Wolf - cool. Beautiful animal. Is the anamagus related to the fossa? Have to Google unless you want to explain. Thanks.

  i snitched on a sister who used to spend a lot of supposed field service time in a local cafe, but she still counted the time.

  she was spoken to by a couple of elders and was never seen in that cafe again.

  of all the things i did as a "loyal" jw, i feel worst about my snooping on this really nice lady.
