what did you miss in order to attend meetings?

by jack2 in

for me, it was the nfc championship game three years ago in order to attend the meeting, then, on top of that, the elders had *scheduled* a meeting for that day as well, to discuss the co visit.

then there was a "supplemental" elder's school held a few years back that took me away from the afc title game.

oh, i taped the stuff, but time-shift recording of sports just doesn't cut it.

Secrect of your Marriage

by Crystal in

who here has been married...10 years or more?is it a great marriage and what is the secret of keeping it together?

bigfloppydog

Been married 31 years this year.

Secret to Marriage, well compassion for each other, trusting one another,spending time alone togeather, communication, common respect for each other, having humour,being able to laugh and cry togeather, sticking togeather through the rough times and the good. Believe me there are some rough times, but you try to work through it togeather. Allowing each to have there own space and friends. Play togeather. We have really been togeather almost 35 years counting our dating time. I believe our marriage will last a very long, long time. Just don't try to change each other, let each other be who you are.

Everyone has arguements, we have had ours to, but now we just look at each other and start laughing. Things always seem to get worked out. My hubby is a real sweet man, and I really can't see myself being without him.

To spank or not to spank?

by Nowhere in

i had a conversation with an active witness from the usa lately.

and when talking about child upbringing he stated that some children need a spank sometimes.

of course i was upset because of that, and i didn't thought witnesses was that stupid.

bigfloppydog

I'm reading this post, what Larc has said, and realize that some people here have totally misunderstood his point he was making, his child was a toddler, not old enough to understand a verbal discussion on not putting his hand in the outlet. Maybe if the child was older he would understand, but he was a toddler. I do not believe in spanking children either, but I think he handled the situation in the proper way that he saw fit to. If my child went to put his/her hand in an outlet, I would have done the same thing. this is only my opinion. It was far better then the child being harmed by what he was about to do. Some have made it sound like he beat his child, I really don't think that was the case here.

WHAT TYPE OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?

by minimus in

jw
friends

what type of personality do you really have?

do you have the same personality in person that you do on-line?

some of us here seem to be rather private and others appear to be very good at communication.

bigfloppydog

For the most part, I am very shy.

I do have a sense of Humour though.I love to joke around. But really only feel comfortable around people I know. Once I get to know someone, I tend to open up more.

I tend to have difficulty trusting people, I guess I have been hurt to much by some people.

How Do You Unwind?

by Scully in

jw
friends

lately, i've found listening to my "simpsons" cds while i'm driving home from work to be very helpful in de-stressing.

they always make me laugh, and it's far less depressing than listening to the news on the radio while i'm driving.. i've also been known to have bubble baths by candle light with a good relaxing cd playing (i have one that's of thunderstorms which is one of my favorites).

glass of wine optional.

bigfloppydog

Unwind, what's that?

Most of the time, my mind is always racing.

I used to go visit my brother, he is 3 hours away, we have similar personalities, we get along great, and sometime during the visit, we end up laughing, laughing, laughing, just like a couple of kids.

I love my time alone, so when everyone is gone, I usually listen to very loud music, my kind.

Once in awhile a long soak in the tub.

My best bud OFC just gave me the tapasteries CD, it is beautiful music, now if I could just relax that would be great.
