mainly cause i've nothing much else to do, and cause i love it so much that i fell asleep to it on repeat last night, that i wanted so share the lyrics of my fave s&g tunesimon and garfunkel lyrics: flowers never bend with the rainfall .
through the corridors of sleep .
past the shadows dark and deep .
My mother took me to see Simon and Garfunkel when I was very young and I saw them again later in life....my mom was a wanna be hippie wild child. She also took me to see Kiss, Peter Paul and Mary, The Rolling Stones and Neil Diamond....
And no she is not, nor never was a JW...
I remember my mother after my parents got divorced driving in our old plymouth with the 8 track blaring singing....I am a rock I am an Island.....it was her theme song.

this question comes to mind right now because i seem to be surrounded by pregnant women.
3 of the mom's in my sons' kindergarten class of 12 - are pregnant and in the other classes i notice a similar trend.
it's not a large school - maybe 60 kids max between the preschool and kindergarten.
And from the hall...
Sister Creation ...yes that was her real last name!

Okay...some more odd names I've encountered.
My husband's doctor - Dr. Marshall Toxin - he's passed on now. I had a Dr. named Dr. Power.
I went to school with a Sandhu Sandeep, and 3 brothers - Harminder, Rupinder, and Jasminder.
There was a teacher at my school named Lil Poteet.
I had a client who was named Jack Bustaman and his daughter was Jackie Bustaman.
quite often we maintain a polite silence about others when we'd really like to tell them to shut the hell up, that they're pompous, or ignorant, or simply a pain in the ass.
"god, i can't stand reading any of his posts.
or, perhaps we really would like to say something really nice about someone, perhaps even a bit personal.
You can bite...as long as you've had all your shots!

i was chatting with my wife on my way home from work, and she mentioned a news story she heard about a mother who drowned her 5 children...we were talking about how that is so inconceivable.
she told how she was talking about it with her mother (another devout jw) and stating how that was just unbelievable, how could a mother do this.
her mom answered, "well you know those that dont fear jehovah, act under the influence of the devil".
What about Christian Longo?
What about Utopian Reformists ex wife who burnt her children!!
They are no better than regular people....What about all the pedophiles who steal innocence from little children and change them forever?
I know, I know...Jehovah will fix everything...
But what about now? People have to live with the consequences of these people actions!

I like your posts and value what you have to say.....I think you are very well written!
But your avatar is scary!!!!! What the heck is that!! A vampire crossbred with a cheetah?
Please don't yell at me!!!

My mom is one of 9 children. 5 girls/4 boys. All the girls have the same middle name...Lee
I was blessed with the same middle name....bleck!
Anyone else have any of these wacky family traditions? If I ever have a daughter she is definately not getting Lee as a middle name!

i still have 3 plastic bags full.
and i had to hide it in my closet!
We didn't have a single trick or treater as usual...my house is an old church and I think the kids are afraid to go knock on the door.
Either that or I am the scary lady in the neighborhood.....oh no!
My boys both got overfilled buckets of candy from Trick or treating at the mall....I've helped check it thoroughly to make sure it's safe for their consumption....LOL!
So we only have 1/2 a bucket left...filled with the yucky stuff!

would you have an elderly parent live with you.
my inlaws drive me mad, we had my fil stay for 6 days a couple of weeks back and gee was i glad when he went back home!.
the problem is my mil is going in a home shes very ill and he is all alone, hes quite fit at the moment but he is 87 years and we live a couple of thousand miles away, id love to offer if the time came but i know in reality id hate it, especially as id be home with him all day while my husband was at work.
It reminds me of the bumper sticker I see all over the place...
Be nice to your children - they pick out your nursing home.
WG
finally-free wrote this comment on the "united in worship topic..." i thought it would make a great bumper sticker.
the watchtower is a bit like microsoft in this respect.
you're always having to upgrade, but very little new useful functionality is included in upgrades.
How about a variation of an old favorite...
We have a sticker that says.....Give Blood - Play Hockey
It could be changed to ...Give Blood - Play Hockey unless you're a Jehovahs Witness.
Sorry..I know it's bad!
