its the middle of summer, i am trying to keep 3... 6 footers fed and can only serve steak or hamburgers so many nights.. its too hot to heat up the oven and i am running out of ideas.. any grill miesters out there willing to share your favorite recipe would be appreciated, including marinades, veggie side dishes etc.. many thanks in advance.
(yes i know this isn't a cooking forum, but we all have to eat and thought it would be fun for everyone!).
Mixing soy sauce with garlic powder and marinating steak is really good.
I make quesadilla's on my grill with whatever is left over from the previous nights BBQ...but my favorite quesadilla is a veggie one.
Sun dried tomatoes from my garden, feta cheese, spinach and basil on a corn tortilla...its yummy.
I have nights when I cook everything on the grill including my sons chicken nuggets and french fries!
Good luck!

i have noticed that, in general, there is a "core" of regular posters on jwd that have been members for several years.. however, it seems the vast majority of "newbies" disappear after a couple posts, days or perhaps a week.
how many "welcome" or "introduction" .
threads have we had here where the new member disappears within a day or so, never to post again?
I read here almost everyday, and post every once in a while. Feast or famine...
Sometimes, you don't know who may personally attack your opinion and there is also a bit of an old "boys" network of close hard core friends that don't seem eager to let new people "in."
Also, when you post how your feeling, need help, support...whatever....and it's basically ignored except for one or 2 people its extremely discouraging.
Just my opinion. Sometimes this is a lonely place.

just what the hell do i have to do to get my wife to understand that i do not welcome these type of visits?
one elder made several calls to her asking when would be a good time to come by for a visit, yet, when they (plural) get to my home, it's me their primarily interested in talking to.
hell....i didn't ask for a visit and have told them on more than one occasion that i'm entirely satisfied with my life as it is and that if or when i need any assistance from them that i will call them?
When they arrive, just say honey...the friends are here and leave your house.
If you need an excuse say you have diarrhea /nausea/ upset stomach and need to go get some medication....
I would then go to a movie and eat popcorn until my eyes burst out of my head...
Don't answer the cellphone, etc. Be out of touch.
Doing this a few times should send the message to them and your wife that you don't want to play their games.
I say ...why waste any energy on the drones. Go about your life and be happy.

the thread above "help, my jw-mom is pioneering at the age of 76..." made me think of this:.
my grandma on dads side was a very devout jw.
unfortunately, she couldn`t walk very well, partly because of obesity.
My husband and I have both gotten personal letters and little tracts in the mail from local JW's.
I even got one at my PO box that said : To the household of PO Box ____.
It was very wierd and made me pretty angry to be violated at my mailbox....but hey at least it wasn't a bill.

here i am 25, going on 26(birthday is on july 12th) and i am thinking about getting botox.
i have been using anti-wrinkle lotions since i was 16. i take care of my skin daily, kind of a freak when it comes to my skin.
anyway, i have found my answer.
Girl you so crazy....you look great!
Just make sure to use sunscreen. I didn't for lots of my teen years and had to have some skin cancer burned off. Not fun and you live in the land of hideous ugly until it heals!
Bleck!

the witness- in -laws are coming for a visit .
my hubby has slowly been getting use to the idea of never stepping into the hall ever again , he no longer feels guilty about missing meetings, and made no plans to attend summer convention .
he has not asked me to tell him any of the research i have done (i think he really fears to know the real truth ).
Whenever they attempt to bring up your lack of meeting attendance...I would say.
My reasons for not attending are personal and I do not want to stumble you, but do not doubt that I still love Jehovah. Now may we please change the subject?
Since they are staying with you I would keep it pleasant and non-confrontational.
The best anti-witness is to be calm and loving....
Best Regards,

.
reading about the elder with a porn problem.. anyone know of any elders with other problems?
My husbands father had a stroke this weekend on the way to the Assembly. When my husband called one of the elders for info on his father and to which hospital he was taken ....The elder used it as an opportunity to hold an inquisition about my husbands feelings for Jehovah and his loving org.
No info was given on hubby's father and he had to call another JW.
So I believe a lack of manners and feelings could be a problem with some JW elders.
I personally knew one elder who had claimed bankruptcy 2 times and defrauded a bunch of people. He's still in good standing even though he's obviously dishonest.

just to let you all know why i won't be able to post for some time...i am finally getting in to the hospital for a much-needed operation that kept being postponed.
i have been back and forth to three different hospitals and various doctor's offices for tests, x-rays, consults and then more pre-op tests and x-rays.
(i have never heard of "nuclear testing before now...i wondered if they were going to send me to nasa!
Thoughts, prayers and gentle hugs coming your way.
Will someone know how to reach you so we can know you are okay?
Best Regards,

my mum was just telling me today how 'good' my cousin is as she got to the assembly with her four kids, even though one of them is poorly with chicken pox!.
wouldn't you call that just being plain stupid?!.
me, i'm reduced to just smiling politely and remembering when i would have been that stupid!
I think that was absolutely thoughtless of your relative.
My son was vaccinated against chicken pox and he still got chicken pox! Our youngest was vacinated as soon as his brother came down with chicken pox and didn't get it.....perhaps he will someday too.
I would be pissed if someone brought their sick kid around my healthy family purposely. What a jerk!
