Well it certainly makes a statement Richie.........enjoy being who you are today but remember yesterday sometimes comes back to bite ya in the short curlies.
Eh kids.
so its no surprise to most of the people here, but i stretch my earlobes.. and i just reached sort of a big milestone, for me i guess.. i made it to an inch.. that's 25 mm, for you crazy not americans stuck on the metric system.. and considering the original hole was exactly 1 mm in diameter, i just think its cool i increased the size by 25 times.. now if only i could stretch my bank account.. .

from reading people's stories and life experiences i thought i'd poll the members here for some advice.
my inlaws are extremely toxic.
i know, every person says that about their inlaws, but the way they treat their family is absolutely horrible.
bikerwoman is right ya know...
LOL, yeah I know been there done that and I have the crumby T-shirt to prove it!

It seems you and your wife have tried everything aside from some therapy so your wife can understand it's okay to let go in fact it's very important for her mental health to let go of such hurtful people even if they are called parents.
It reminds me of the analogy of the patient telling the Doctor; "Doc when I do this _____ it hurts". Doc takes a look makes sure nothing is wrong and tell patient; "Stop doing that!"
If it hurts stop doing it!
Cut off all contact, change your phone number refuse mail from them and block them from your email addresses take whatever step you need to do to keep them away. Even an animal in the wild protects their family from intruders and harm. Aren't we a step above the animals? Yet we get sucked into the emotional aspects of wanting to please them when we know instinctively there is no pleasing them. There is nothing wrong with your wife, nothing wrong with you, your children, you are not the problem, they are.
The phrase TOXIC means poison, think of them as poison and just don't interact with them, period. I know it's easier said then done but you have each other to lean on which is a good thing. Be creative in ways of thinking of them as toxic, like calling them the toxic parents. It also helps to put a picture of them up with a big red circle and a line drawn through it or at least to think of them mentally that way if the picture is a bit over the top for you. Use your imagination......but help each other through it and think of all the good reasons you are doing it. Make a Mission statement and a list of positive statements to remind you of your mission.
This didn't happen over night and it won't go away over night, it takes work and diligence and the amount of work put into it depends directly on just how important it is for you to have them gone from your life.
Hope this helps and good luck!
my ex fiance who is a hard-core dub.
who would never ever let me touch her in the "naughty spot" because she was so hardcore.
she used and abused me and when she was done after 2 years and after listening to the slander the elders told her about me (about how i would just hump and dump her, im not spiritual, etc.
but I do have to thank her. She was the last straw that made me leave the whoreganization! Yup, that relationship really opened my eyes to the truth about the truth!
Kids....
I'm glad you have gratitude for finally seeing the light and getting out while you are still young enough to actually do something with your life. Now as you've probably heard the best revenge (or answer) is to live a good life.
Happy trails!
Crazy weather!
It wasn't supposed to rain here today but it is!
karl marx had it right when he said religion is opium (drug) for the people.
think about it, when a person is on drugs they feel wonderful, they would appear happy if you asked them how they feel they would say on top of the world very happy..but the reality is they may have lost their home, bank accounts, family and have nothing tangible to show for there lives.
does this sound familiar?.
One might as well believe in the tooth fairy, magic wands and Santa Clause.
Hey everyone needs something to believe in as long as it causes no harm.....can't say that about the WTS.
So, how do you fell when dubbies hurl the word 'Bitter' at you? Does it still annoy you or does it amuse you as a mark of the strength of mind control on your former friends and family? Did you used to accuse apostates of being 'bitter'?
I know at one time when I was a JW I used to think of apostates as being bitter and disillusioned. By the time I had worked out my own disillusionment the bitterness had left and I would have to say it is rather amusing when ever I hear a JW use that term. I do understand why having been there done that. I guess I could only offer one reply to any JW.......never say never.
so i laid 1500 sf of sod thursday (approx 2,000 #), and unloaded 1500 # of sand yesterday, and did a whole lot of roto-tilling and raking and dog-turd scooping, not to mention the idiot "helpers" at home depot.. anyway, my poor old body (54 years old) foolishly listened to my 18-year old brain and said (like that little devil on the shoulder): "sure, you can do it, you can do it!!!".
lol.
pain is life, and life is pain.
LOL

I really couldn't believe the determination in ona to get this done! Sod delivered at 8 am....by 9 he had almost one pallet laid out.....I was leaving for work at 10 and he said when I get home the whole back yard will be done. Ha! I had my doubts and really didn't want him to push himself, man that is a lot of sod! We have a huge back yard!
Well I'm be darned if I didn't have a back yard good enough to go putting in (I'm seriously thinking of taking up golf) when I got home 5 hours later! Ona was so proud of himself! So was I, that and impressed! Wow what instant green does for a backyard is awesome!
So one happy wife, one happy puppy and one very tired, cranky, and achy husband......such is life!
And now it's raining all over my bags of sand...1500# turns into 2,000# in an instant.
......yeah there will be no pavers going in anytime soon.......looks like we're in for a few days of the wet stuff....if I didn't know better I would think he prayed for rain!
Well I'll post up some before and after pics soon as I can figure out my digital camera.....now I've got to get to the painting project we started a couple of weeks ago, sigh.
Yeah work, women and bitching........hey did I mention how tired my finger is from waving it at ona? LOL
