Here's a hug from me Noni ((()))
It is so hard to lose a loved one. Your grandfather sounds like a very loving man. What a blessing for you to be able to keep the good memories of him forever.
I wish you peace.
Love, Juni
my grandpa died sunday afternoon.i was there in the room with him.i had to watch as he struggled to take his last breaths.it was horrific to watch.this was the second time i have watched someone in my family die.he died of prostate cancer.it was a long and painful death.i'm glad he's not in pain anymore.. at the moment i'm feeling a little emotional and upset about what i saw and all of the jw bs i had to listen too.i'm also dreading the jw memorial which is next weekend.i am planning on going.i'm da ed so i don't expect anyone to come up and talk to me or express there sorrow to me.the thing is i feel like i should be comferted and people should tell me they are sorry i lost my grandfather.i lost someone who i had alot of respect for all of my life regaurdless of how close we were after i da ed.i think i'm going to be excluded at the dinner after.they are planning a reception type thing for after the service.
i'm glad i did get the chance to see him and talk to him before he got really sick.i had the chance to go to dinner with him and my parents and a couple of my aunts a few months ago.when he was leaveing he asked me pointedly for a hug.he said he was collecting them.i hugged him and said i loved him.that was the last time i saw him till i went to my aunts house where he was staying just before he went into hospice.the next time i saw him was 3 weeks ago when he entered hospice and wasn't expected to live the night out.then i saw him sunday i arrived about 20 to 30 minutes before he took his last breath.he was creamated this week and will be buried with my other family in our family plots soon.. anyway i'm just in need of some kind words of support at the moment.i though that jwd would give that to me even though i don't post here that much.it really sucks to feel alone at times like this..

it seems you have to be of the "popular crowd" on this forum to express feelings and views.
as i am not of this crowd, i have recently recieved alot of not so friendly comments and p.m.s from people who seem to think they need to put me in my place.
it is funny how some people can express their views and opinions and everyone still loves them.
I'm sorry Snarf to see you leave. I don't believe I read the thread about liars if that is what caused the nasty PMs.
One thing to consider is that when we can't talk in person to each other our words may be taken the wrong way because there is no "voice inflection" behind the written words.
As Blondie related and Annie also, I'm sure a lot of us have received nasty PMs. You were called a whore Blondie???? Must've been something you said in your WT review....LOL
Anyway, I'm sorry this happened to you; know that you're not the only one.
Juni
Whew!!! I wanted to get back here before I couldn't Edit any longer.
Okay. Here you had said hon...
I feel the same, don't take things tooo seriously here. It still sucks though when you take time out to chat with someone and find out they are a big fat liar.
I nabbed this from the "liars" thread. Want to know something? I was caught in the "web" of an idiot that everyone here is familiar with. He is what is called a "Troll". One who causes trouble and whatever. Anyway, I greeted him. Kind to him. He PMed me and we chatted back and forth for awhile. I then invited him to a different forum. This went good for a while and then he started nailing me but good. Then he started making evil PMs here at this forum to me. I finally reported him to the mods and he was "found" out and deleted. He's been wafting through here like a smelly fart from time to time using different aliases. I know his style now and report him.
So don't feel alone that you are being singled out. I remember now talking w/you on Gabbly right? And I just went back in your picture posts of last year about the birth of your baby. You are a sweet lady; I hope you don't choose to leave snarf!! Have a fun weekend w/your family!
Hugs, Juni
the hall i was in the last few years was not a bad place.
most of the people were middle class, some had college educations (like the po and his wife); they generally weren't over critical.
of course there were a few elders and publishers that were pains but for the most part the people in that hall were pretty decent.
it was just a year ago today that i went into the hospital for a "quick" thyroid operation at 3:00 pm that i was scheduled to be discharged from early the next morning.
i was looking forward to being out and recovered well enough to go to a big 4th of july bash at my son's home.. i didn't make it to the bash....and i almost didn't "make it" period!
the incision began to bleed in the recovery room, blocked my airway and i stopped breathing.
(((Annie)))
It's amazing how different anniversary dates cause us to reflect more deeply. You are a good person Annie and such an integral member to this forum.
Have a peaceful and enjoyable weekend hon.
Hugs, Juni
this was so good that i just had to pass it along...don't know if it's been posted on here or not, but here it is:.
whether democrat or republican or independent or nothing, i think you'll get a kick out of this!
a little boy goes to his dad and asks, "what is politics?".
That is so funny CoolerKing! Thanks for the laugh. Unfortunately true.......Argh..........

yes that is right Min what you said ^
The BOEs set the pace and personality of the cong. as a whole in my opinion.
I was in an ULTRA CONSERVATIVE camp for most of my 21 years. The last cong. I was only in for 2 years and found them to be more "liberal", BUT they we were not very inclusive. Everyone had their circle of friends and they sort of let you in, but I always felt on guard and an outsider.
That was my last cong. By then I could not handle any more "brotherly" love.

is there any other posters from the northern territory out there?
i haven't noticed any others so far, but i could be wrong...
Hey ninjy! Leave our sweet Brinjy alone!
Jooney LMAO!

Sorry Brinjen.... the closest I came to the Northern territories is by watching the film, "A TOWN CALLED ALICE" on television many years ago.
It was a wonderful love story and the leading male actor was a hunk.

Thanks for the picture. Maybe I'll copy it and hang it on the fridge......

And to top it off, we're cussed if we leave the damned toilet seat down!! (even though only a complete moron sits on a toilet without looking) ;-)
ya guys leave the damn thing UP, UP, UP, UP.
Ah, I feel so much better after that rant......
Seriously John Doe, if you are being serious about your inner thoughts here, I agree that men should not be suppressed from showing their emotions. Truly a lot of women are endeared to guys who DO show emotion.
