Have you or would you relocate 4 love ?

by oldflame in

friends

you know, i never thought that i could meet someone so much like me.

but i did and right here at jwd, we only live a couple thousand miles from each other but i feel driven to relocate.

not tomarrow or anything sudden but the thought of someone who you know deep inside is you're perfect match is so far away, what else is there to do ?.

fairchild

No, I would not. Been there, done that. However, a couple thousand miles isn't the other end of the world. To me it meant moving to a different continent. Different customs, different culture, different everything. I guess 2,000 miles would keep you on the same continent and you'd still feel at home.

i just noticed today was my start date a year ago on this forum.

doesn't seem like that long ago but then again i've learned a lot since i found this forum... last year when i googled jehovahs witness i was in a bad place so i'm glad this was one of the hits.

Happy JWD birthday, under 74.

Last night I was out for someone's birthday and me and another guy were banned from talking about computers by an annoyed woman.
We decided to use the word "kitten" every time we wanted to use the word computer in conversation.
This worked great for a while until I started telling my mate about me having my floppy stuck in the kitten.

ballistic, that is hilarious. Thanks for the moment.

What's Worse, Being Sued -- or Haunted?

sorry if this has been posted before, but it's just too wierd to pass up!

first they shun eating at the table of the disfellowshipped living, now they won't share their groceries with the dead!

this judge is in for an interesting court case.

I've mentioned this a couple times before on JWD. I worked at a "haunted" restaurant for several years. Before my employment there, I never believed in that stuff, but over the years, I saw and experienced so many things out of the ordinary that I could write a book about it.

The major problem this restaurant had was to hold on to the workers. It seems that the ghost or whatever it was, aimed its pranks at the workers, not at the customers. I do believe that the owners of the restaurant lost lots of money over the years by constantly having to train new people. I saw many of the employees run out of the building after they had been "messed" with, and they never came back. Not as a worker and not as a customer. They just never set foot in the building again.

In a way, I'd venture to say that being sued is less dramatic than being haunted.

Breast Cancer

lumpectomy or mastectomy???.

outnfree and i chose differently.

i know the doctors gave me the survival rates................the same.

fairchild

I wish you all the best. You are doing the right thing by informing yourself on the subject of breast cancer. Decisions are sometimes easier to make when one has a wealth of information available.

hugs, Chris

When you all left the truth.........

did you leave your sense of humors behind as well?

fairchild

defd, why do I have a feeling that this topic resulted from the "hibbie and I are married" thread? I can see where such a thread might not be taken as a joke on JWD, although it was meant to be funny.

In or out of the truth, I've always had a great sense of humor and laugh a lot.
