Jgnat. Exactly. I like the thought of keeping the older ones in the dark. I can't imagine what my mom would do if she suddenly realized, oh, it's really not real??? All she gave up, all she put up with, all she sacrificed, and still does, it would be awful. Talk about a mid-llife crisis. But then again, I"m sure some on the board stopped when they were in their 50's and are healed up by now. But it would be hard.

ACtually, I just talked to mom on the phone and told her that I would drop her off at the KH since she insists, but that she is not to give out my address to the elders. Then I got scared, and added, "you know, Mr. Goodgirl doesn't like our address being given out." Like duh. I know she knows where I stand, but you sort of have to give her an out. Otherwise her conscience will get the best of her, and she'll cancel the whole vacation.

Staying up all night finishing paper. Cleaning home frantically tomorrow. Plus repairing damage from gas lines. They poked a hole in the gas line to our home yesterday when some guys were digging. So firetrucks wailing, street blocked off yesterday, all just for my home! (Well, me and a few others). So they now have to poke a hole (a big one) in the basement (which is the wall of a beautiful bedroom). So we'll be repairing that. (Painting, they say, is not something they do.) There were literally 2 jackhammers going at the same time this morning. See why I can't study???

Mom/sis/bro-law come tomorrow night. Show them the town. Sunday maybe drop mom off at the KH if she promises not to give out my address. Sunday night show mom the town again, then a week in the northwoods of Wisconsin.

Status Report!!!!!!!

ok this is where i tell whats going on in my exciting life and all of you give me advice.

1)is a seashell necklace wrapped around a cowboy hat cool or what?

2)what stuff should i bring to the dorm?

Sounds like your parents live in the same town as your college. You have to take a stand at some point. Just say class schedule keeps conflicting. Go to a few sunday meetings, then less and less until you only show up to the memorial. when people try to encourage you, just say, "I know, I know, I'll try."

I like that hat, so cute.

MOney: Are your parents paying for college? How about donating plasma. In my college town it was $20 first time, $40 second time, and $25 each time thereafter. YOu can sit there and study for the hour or two that it takes. Quick cash for just a quick owie in the arm.

About screwing girls. Don't worry too much, the time will come very shortly. If you rush it, you'll end up in a long-term relationship that you really didnt' want. YOu'll get invited to go out or go to some awesome parties, and a girl will be flirting with you, and if you say do you want to come over and she says yes, it means she wants to have sex. But don't ask too soon after meeting her. Wait a few hours, at least. And drink, but don't drink more than 2 or tops 3 drink per hour, or you'll get alcohol poisoning and die. (Just an estimate, but you're at that vulnerable age.) NO DRINKING AND DRIVING!!!!!!

Join everything at school, that's the way to make friends and learn new stuff too. You'll be way cooler than just what the hat does for you. There is something for everyone. Volunteer things where you go away on spring break and do a volunteer trip for the week. I think it was paid for, can't remember. And a good excuse not to go home and preach and go to meetings. But so much fun, the best memories of mine.

Buy the 2002 Honda. Why spend 10,000 that you don't have?

i just worked with a bunch of chicken-cooking retards for 8 hours.. then i come home and get no love from my jwd compadres?.

what is this world coming too?.

and btw, i am thoroughly pissed off that one my adorable self was not mentioned once on 4 pages of jwd love talk.

Thegoodgirl

I love you, Rich. You're my official married woman's crush. Oh, wait, but if that's the case, me and my husband can't adopt you, right?...

Don't worry, this chicken phase of your life will be over soon, you'll be in college, even if it is a little delayed. (By the way what are your plans?) I had this awful time between 18 and 20 where I just sat in my small town while everyone else was off to a bigger city. But now I'm 26, my whole life has changed, and I can hardly remember those dumpy years.

Now I sit at my computer in a big city and procrastinate finishing my next phase of master's thesis which is due TODAY!!! (well, I have a bit of a grace period)

And no one ever PMs me either.

Quick: How do I JW-proof the house?

hey guys, i'm looking for tips.

i have 48 hours, so how do you jw-proof your house?

mom and sister and brother-in-law are coming this weekend.

Thegoodgirl

Why do I put up with it? Well, the way I see it, when you have crazy parents, you take what you can get. In other words, you hang out with them in their sane moments, and avoid them in their crazy ones. Yeah, maybe--probably-- mom will stop talking to me at some point. But I'd rather keep what's left of our relationship for as long as possible. I rarely lie to her (except about the birth control pills in college), and she obviously knows I married an unbeleiver. When she brings up the JW "truth" talk, I tell her,

1. "I don't want to discuss it." Or "Well, anyway, Mom, let's change the subject."

2. "But mom, why do you say the truth will make my life so much better when if I look at so-and-so in the congregation, they're in just as bad if not worse of a situation..."

3. " I will be honest, I really don't think I will be attending the memorial this year, I don't like it that DF'd people are shunned, it makes me mad that people won't talk to my little sister, so I don't want to see those people."

So, see it's not like a total hiding of my life and thoughts. And of course she knows I don't go to meetings, etc. I just don't want to throw a christmas tree in her face, forcing the inevitible shunning to start RIGHT NOW. Ya know?

Ha ha, Jared. (I left out my birth control pills in college; actually they were in a little flowered box, and mom thought it was so pretty she had to open it. I told her they were vitamins....)

Okay Buddist book is away. Too many r-rated movies to count. Now that's a task.

Ah, yes, the history. And books: I do have a buddist book out there, thanks! No bongs, right now, but I'll keep that idea in mind...
