  Favorite Ice Cream

  by poppers in

  2. friends

  i'm just wondering what everyone's favorite brand and type of ice cream is.

  i recently have been able to eat dairy products after having my gall bladder removed.

  i always thought i was lactose intolerant, but all along it was my g.b.

  I don't eat ice cream that often, but when I do, it's Baskin Robins Peanut Butter and Chocolate.

  Immigration

  loubelle has started a couple of threads about the really bad situation we are living in here in sa.

  they are no exaggeration - things really are not great and people around us all seem to be talking about whether to leave or not.

  and for the first time, we are amongst those talking about leaving - debating whether or not we would be able to give up life here and start over somewhere else.

  First I want to say I haven't read all the posts, but I deal on an almost daily basis with people from several regions in Africa that have fled their homelands to come to Canada.

  Some of the stories I hear are heartbreaking, and at times it takes everything I have not to shed some tears in their presence. It's not even safe for them to go back and they have left everything and in some cases everyone they have.

  I have met a young boy of 14 that escaped rebels with several of his friends and had to walk weeks across the desert to reach a refugee camp, several of his friends didn't make it. He came to Canada as a 14 year old boy with nobody but the "brothers" he had escaped with. He found his mother and some siblings with the help of the Red Cross here and went back to the Sudan and ended up in a prison there for a short time and almost didn't make it back to Canada. He's almost 18 now and planning on attending Law School next fall.

  This is but one story I have heard and they are all heartbreaking. I'm happy they have been able to make it here to Canada and are able to make a new life for themselves.

  I cannot comment on the situation in SA or many of the other countries. The people I have met all love their homeland and would love to go back if it was safe for them to do so.

  the "why can't jws say good luck" thread made me remember something from my childhood.. i was a child in the 80s.

  mr. t was huge back then.

  he used to say "i pity the fool that ______" (insert anything here).

  Yeah and I remember when the word "awesome" first started to be used, like, um, yeah, every other word (lol)

  My mother would constantly get after my brother for saying that - Jehovah is the only thing that should be described using that word

  i understand that the zone overseer is scheduled to give a talk in canada.

  many assembly halls and being booked to receive the telephone hook-ups.

  do you think that he's coming because he found out that some of our youth are attending university, and he's coming to kick our canadian butts?

  Anyways, I will record the whole damned thing and put it up on the web if it has any worth points. If it is just another boring blah blah blah, then I will get some shuteye.

  You can do both - record it and sleep! lol After all, you've got it recorded and can listen to it anytime, just don't do it while driving, we don't want you falling asleep behind the wheel!

  Sorry you have to attend, but thank you for keeping us all informed.

  But the fact that I was thinking about it so much made me realize I couldn't continue on like that.

  Once again, thanks to everyone for your interest in my story. It is the first time I've told it to anyone. I know many of you can relate. I hope it may help some who are going through this right now.

  Alot of us here have thought about suicide, and sharing these things does help, it lets others know that they are not alone, and others here know how you are/were feeling and that it does get better.

  Thanks for sharing.

  just got back from a ball hockey game with a bunch of friends from high school.

  most of them i haven't really spent any time with in about 12 years.

  two things i immediately noticed, i'm out of shape and it's easy to pick things up where you left off years earlier.
