We will be working on our house. Putting in a garbage disposal, 2 windows, repainting #1 son's bedroom, sheetrocking, plastering and giving a lot of money to Lowes.
And amidst all that we will BBQ.

Any Lefties?
by Why Georgia inmy 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,.

Perhaps I am just noticing it more - but I am noticing my 10 month old son often grabs for things with his left hand and eats things with his left hand. So maybe we will have 2 lefties....I'm guessing it's still to early to tell.
At my son's first preschool they really tried to make him write right handed. The teachers felt it would be easier for him if he was right handed and always took the pencil out of his left hand and put it in his right. When I found out I got so angry because who are they to tell him how he should be? I took him out of that school because I thought if they are trying to change him because he is left handed what else are they going to try to change about him?
That may sound silly to some....

Well I guess I am lucky we are in the age of the computer. He's been using one since he was 2 and has his own. He's playing on it right now in the other room...LOL!
He types pretty well for a little guy!
Very quick at the Hunt and Peck Method...LOL

Have your children made any new friends? When my son made a new friend a few years ago at age 3 he started talking about vampires, demons and shadows coming alive.
We could not figure it out at all.
It turned out his new friend watches scooby doo and a lot of other shows we dont' allow our son to watch and he was using his imagination and telling our son stories.
It may be something supernatural. I had some odd things happen to me as a child that I still cannot explain now as an adult....I would look for the simplest explaination first.

At the last Congo we attended...one was good, 2 were indifferent and one was really horrendously evil bad.
Now since we left....all of them that have come to our house have been pompous jerks.

Does the WTS disfellowship mentally challenged people?
by Elsewhere in.
has anyone ever seen a situation where the wts disfellowhiped someone who is autistic, retarded or otherwise mentally challenged?.
i wonder if the elders give them more leeway knowing that they are not always capable of making decisions as well as a normal person.. .

I know our nephew who is pretty smart considering his disability thinks that he is bad or evil because they won't let him be dunked.
Not that I want him to be a JW like the rest of the family but sheesh! It just seems a little cruel. They keep telling him he is not ready and he is now 19 and has studied his whole life.

I hate cleaning the catboxes. We have 3.
And vacuuming. I have to do that 2 times each day. One time in the morning and one time at night.
We have 2 big dogs and 6 cats so, if I don't vacuum it looks like furry tumbleweeds rolling through our house.

Our nephew is developmentally disabled with Asperbers (sp) Syndrome. He has studied his whole life with the brothers but has never been baptised. He really wants this but for some reason it hasn't happened.
Now I wonder if it hasn't happened because they won't let it happen.
I also wonder if these same brothers count their hours when studying with him and if they do...then why can't he be dunked.
