  warning: don't read this if you are easily depressed!.

  its pants, sh*t, black, doom, gloom and don't spare the melancholy (pronounced mel-ankley if you are me).. what's brought this on?

  (((Crumpy)))

  I've read through your entire thread and there's really nothing I could add that hasn't been suggested. Sorry....

  The one thing that stood out to me that was good to hear about you is this: YOU ARE MOTIVATED. That's a good sign....

  We all have our down times....... not clinical depression, but the normal "blues". It will pass. Take time for yourself and treat yourself. Is there something you could volunteer doing that would fulfil your need to "give of yourself"?

  I wish you peace of mind.

  Love, Juni

  Welcome to the forum emptywords!

  answers up well, out witnessing regularily gives and volunteers for talks,

  Three very good reasons you mentioned that make her "special" to the elders. My experience was this - a lot of brothers or sisters who did all they were told to do also including elders' wives were some of the worst gossipers - and I mean malicious gossip.

  I got fed up w/it to the point that I would go in my own car to the territory because I got so tired of the backbiting.... When working w/those who were backbiters I found myself continually changing the subject. Eventually they got the idea, but it didn't make for a pleasant time.

  I even included it once in my comment at a WT study - quoting scripture where it said that this backbiting can lead to a person's being consumed and downtrodded. Not one word from anyone.

  I understand what you are experiencing. I hope you have success by talking w/the elders. Hopefully you won't be labeled a "complainer". When that happens it's a real smack in the face.

  Sincerely, Juni

  The new funkey keyboard layout they are trying to sell

  by Elsewhere in

  2. friends

  anyone try the new funky keyboard layout that most keyboard manufacturers are selling now?

  the one where the delete key is tall, the home and end keys are moved next to each other and and the arrow keys are moved to the left under the shift key.. .

  i recently bought the logitech 510 (the one shown on the bottom) and i absolutely hate it.. years ago i learned how to touch-type, which means i type without actually looking at the keyboard.

  I have a Logitech and it looks pretty similar, but not exactly. Actually it does look like the first one. LOL Sorry...................

  All I know is that the painted letters are scraping off. Good thing I know where the keys are.

  Where there is a garage sale sign, so shall there be a Witness...

  by pmouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is that written somewhere in the nwt?

  or is it "have a garage sale and they will come" the hollywood horror movie?

  i don't recall seeing it, but sure enough, hang a garage sale sign out and you will get them, all dressed up carrying book bags with a casually rolled up watchtower trying to place it to distract you while the other one tries to throw you off by offering 10 cents instead of 25 cents for your junk.

  So true pmouse!

  But, you know what? I used to be one of those rummagers like you described, but I wasn't cheap about paying full price. I can't believe I had the gall to do that....... I guess anything to keep the clock ticking.....

  as most of you know my two dobes got into a horrible fight in the street while walking them.

  they are quite subdued at this point and ashamed of themselves.

  (they have been together for over 5 years) with only 2 minor fights.. i have been treating wounds all week, shaving hair, applying antibiotic creams at least 4 times a day, to legs, necks, etc.

  Wow r!

  Our vet bill wouldn't be a quarter of that! Perhaps it's because he comes to your home?

  I'm glad you got the problem fixed w/the vet. I think I would definitely take them separately on walks from now on.

  My Dad

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've never really mentioned my real dad or our relationship but since we've just passed fathers day i thought i would.. the man mum lives with now is my stepdad who i've never seen eye to eye with until these recent months and despite the pain he caused me in the past i feel that i should look out for him now (he's quite a bit older than my mum, in his mid 50's now...not necessarily old but he had a stroke and his mental state isnt what i would describe as normal).

  with him i've been on an emotional journey because i can finally move on from the problems he caused and even use my experiences for the better.

  megan has played her part in this of course in more ways than one, her stepdad died recently and she didnt have the chance to forgive the things he did properly and it hurts her, i dont want that.

  Hello Ian!

  I also read that book.

  For Karl ~~

  I highly recommend it for helping you to understand WHAT your father did to you and how its AFFECT can be put in its rightful place so that you can move on.

  Very informative book Karl. But it sounds like you have found a place for the past. That is great. If you ever need any input though in understanding toxic parenting and what it is, that particular book is a great source.
