  after tons of research and finding a killer deal (the real reason), i decided i'm going to the mayan riviera and i'm staying at the grand palladium.

  it's rated 4 stars on expedia and 5 golden apples by apple vacations.

  looks really nice.

  I was there a few years ago for my 'Happy-End-of-Chemo' celebration.

  We had a great time (although I was still too tired to do much actual partying)

  Xcaret was Fantastic. If you go, plan to stay for the evening. Xcaret at Night! is an entirely different place...

  LaHabichuela is a nice romantic restaurant downtown. Little difficult to find but well worth the adventure. If you go, be sure to order the Mayan Coffee.

  What ever you do, I know you will have a great time. Haven't heard anyone come home disappointed.

  PS Save some money for Apostafest in Vegas in October... Right? :-)

  Cindy-

  So sorry for the troubles you are facing. So very sorry that people who should know better, refuse to behave like decent, loving human beings.

  I do not recall any prohibition of cremation. I always understood it to be matter of choice.

  Hugs,

  Revenge? or Disclosure?

  by Odrade in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  chuckky's series of threads about the death of his father-in-law prompt this.

  when is the right time to send letters to the editor, or contact the newspaper about the cruelty and vindictiveness from the local boe?

  there are hundreds, if not thousands of stories on this board that are so clearly not just a case of congregational discipline.

  Are some people REALLY better off in high-control groups?

  by seattleniceguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in holly's good-bye thread, quotes mentioned that he felt that some people were better off in high-control groups.

  i've heard othes say similar things.. but i have a difficult time with this.

  is it not true that high-control groups stiffle a person's emotional and intellectual development?

  If it's Tuesday, it must be TMS/Service meeting.

  AACCCK!!! NOOOOO!!!

  If it's Tuesday it must be BOOKSTUDY. BOOKSTUDY is on Tuesday.

  TMS/Service Meeting is on Thursday.

  Now that I got that straight, going back to my happy place.... Breathe in; Exhale Again.

  Sitting or Standing?

  a recent thread brought this to mind:.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/86271/1.ashx.

  i had a male friend, when i was a jw, who was taught by his mother to always sit when he pee'd.

  I hate going into public restrooms and slamming my butt down in pee if I dont look or having to wipe it and wait for it to dry because some other lady thinks its not sanitary to sit on the toilet. Well, HELL NO! not after you just peed all over the damn thing its not. Oh and by the way ladies, backsplash from peeing 2 inches off the seat isnt that sanitary either. If you feel you have to squat, do the next lady a favor and at least wipe the seat. We gripe at men for not doing it, and alot of us have no right to complain.

  ANYone (male or female) who isn't going to SIT on the seat, should LIFT said seat.

  My biggest pet pee-ve: when pee-ple pee on the seat.

  Grab a piece of tissue and lift it up. Oh yes, please flush.

  Da Nerve of some pee-ple!!
