I'm Happy Today

by Why Georgia in

.

well today is my wonderful husbands' birthday.. when we were first together he didn't want presents, cake, no celebration at all.. last night he was so excited about his gifts he opened one in the middle of the night.

he wants pizza for his birthday dinner and to go out for ice cream instead of a birthday cake.. i just feel happy that he's come so far and doesn't see birthdays as some evil happening.. wg

Thanks to everyone on behalf of my husband.

He was really happy to have his celebration the way he wanted it...Pizza and ice cream.

It's funny but he is the one who has pushed buying holiday decorations for our home and getting the Xmas tree up this year.

I've been doing it my whole life and its a bit of a hassle with 2 little ones underfoot. But he's in his element so why not! Plus its good for the kids to have these normal things.

I'm just happy that he allows these celebrations now. Our first couple of years together were really hard and extremely depressing...

Especially since I come from a family that celebrates every occasion that Hallmark makes a card for!

i received an sms last night from ozzie himself saying on saturday he collapsed and had to be taken by ambulance to hospital.. he is being operated on again this morning (wednesday 29/6/05 australia time).

as usual with the particular operation he is having there are serious risks.

i ask his friends to send anything positive his way today.

she did this when her parents were going to be able to support her, but then her dad lost his job etc.

and shes out on her ass.

so here's our convo... and this was mid way in, the first part is irrelevant... .

Hey Richie,

I think you did a great job planting seeds. I just hope this won't backfire on you. So many of the little witnessettes are big tattle tales.

Any Lefties?

my oldest son is left handed.

everytime he does anything different from the rest of us.....my husband relates this to being left handed.. he is very artistic, detailed, and extremely particular about how he wants things in his little world to be.. this may be because he's 5 - who knows.. are there any traits of left handed people that you lefties may want to share so i can be prepared in the future?.

thanks in advance,.

Why Georgia

Thank you for all the responses so far. I am definately going to get the book that you mentioned Zen. I hope it will give me some insight into my wonderful son. He is an amazing little boy.

So smart and he has already been tested and is considered gifted in Math and Science.

If you give him a big puzzle he knows how to put it together so quickly. And he is only 5!

He's always thinking and very specific about everything...I know you said no about this Mommy but what about this....

He is going to keep me on my toes!

I have never met another kid like him....! Not that I am biased but I think he is brilliant.

Writing is a challenge for him...his penmanship is all backwards and I have realized from all your posts that he is trying to write like me and his daddy. This explains a lot of things.

Thank you all and if anyone has anymore thoughts I would love to hear them!

Why Georgia

My mother in law and 2 of my sister in laws have that crazy bulgy eyed rabbit stare that I equate with mental illness.

My oldest son is Left Handed. Everytime he does anything different from the rest of us.....my husband relates this to being left handed.

We have 2 sons 5 and 10 months...When we are talking about them in front of them we call them #1 and #2...

My older son calls himself the King of the World.

I also call him Mr. Picky Pants because he is so darn anal retentive.

Thank you Brooke, Purza and Love2beworldly,

It's these little things that really help keep me going. I had been pretty depressed lately because I feel like the WTS is this big invisible elephant that lives in our house...but to see him happy about a birthday makes me just feel like maybe he isn't buying into all their BS anymore.

Getting out of the WT

by helios in

can anyone tell me if there has ever been a case of jw relatives kidnapping another relative who wished to leave the cult.

even if the restraint only lasted a few hours.

i have an account of a rather stunned female jw who was put under what she described as " house arrest" until the judicial committee threw her out officially.

Why Georgia

My sister in law was kept at home until the jc could disfellowship her. She was 15 at the time and they told my mother and father in law to kick her out of the house. They gave her one week and kicked her out on the street with nothing and no one to take care of her.

Her offense was kissing a boy in the backyard and smoking a joint in the 60's.
