Today is my bad luck day and for each bad there had been a good.
It all started Monday at 4 AM. My friend who had cancer, Bettie Carrell of St. James Missouri died. I actually felt relief because she had been absolutely miserable and wanted to die. She has hung on 6 months from when she should have been gone in two weeks. So you can imagine her condition. She was down to half of a lung. Blood pressure was 60/40 and heart was 180. She slipped into a coma like state over the last few days. I thought she would be leaving us last week, so I cashed in a weeks vacation and took some much needed rest and organization time. I still have too many things to do but it helped some. So the day after the last day I have off, she dies. strange.
So I go in to work and seeing I was told they were having a mid week funeral, I take the next week off. part of it without pay. For her funeral is a days drive away from here. This is unheard of for my company to allow, but they did it. I was granted the time even though she is not a blood relative. I thought I would get on the road today, but I woke up with a urinary tract infection and things went worse from there. I asked my regular doc to call in a prescription but seeing he was out, they said he would call. I got no call. So I called my other family practitioner and the nurse said he would not do that, and he would call. No call.
So I went to an after hours medical place up the road. Seeing I cant hardly get out of the bathroom, everytime I went to the ladies room they called a person after me. So way later, I get in, and then everyone takes lunch hour, so I end up waiting close to 3 hours to get a prescription so that I can feel better and leave tonight.
My brother goes to fill the prescription and both other doctors have called a prescription in. They did not tell me. So here I sit with 4 prescriptions, when I only need one. Usually no doctor will just call in a prescription anymore. So I am stocked for "who knows what."
I am afraid I would not get to the funeral by time, but when I called to check they changed the funeral to Friday. So I have time to lay around tonight. Drive tomorrow, pack her house on Thursday, Attend Memorial and funeral Friday and visit all the friends, then Drive home Saturday and have a day to spare to try to finish the messes I started.
I guess that is life, Good things Bad things. I am just not used to so many good following the bad, and so many good at once.
As I type this a friend just called who has a relative who is a doctor that I had tried also. He just called and asked if I need a prescription. Is that not funny?
Thats all just wanted to share. I thought it was odd. I may post a bit on Bettie, we call her Gammie, in a moment.

List of things banned to JWs
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inmy wife is involved with jws, and i want to find out what they believe, things they do or will not do, that i can present to her in the hope that it will convince her that the jw lifestyle is not for her.
i found out a few things already, like blood and yoga which i told her about, but she was unphased.
("i've never needed a transfusion before anyway, and besides, they told me that doctors have blood substitute now".

being a baby dub in the 70's
by katiekitten inim from a small backward industrial town in the north of england.
in the 70's when i was a kid no-one had a car.
we used to meet for field service on the street corner and have a pep rally right there, then stand in a circle and say a prayer.

Oh my Goodness!!!
Kattiekitten. I laughed so very hard That is about the best post ever and I am afraid It will ruin my day if I read another. I had the same ordeal as a child. I was the kid who got beat the most. I just could not sit still. Then I was too curious. Not a loud curious, but curious none the less. I was such a back room abused JW kid. My mom just looked at me and I knew I was getting the snod beat out of me.
LT, I loved absolutely loved Benny Hill. Still do. I got in so much trouble when did have a tv for a bit for sneaking downstairs and watching it. Oh and Daisy Duke was a brunette. I also was kissed once by (gack) Boss Hog. He was at a car show my friends dad entered and while the men got to meet the playboy bunnies, us gals got that gross pig, Boss Hog. See?

it takes time...
by googlemagoogle intoday i visited a (ex)jw christian forum, the first one i registered to when i needed to talk about my doubts and thoughts.
i read my posts from 1 year ago, when i was really deep into research about the bible and the canon in particular.
now it will soon be one year ago that i finally accepted that there is no jehovah.

You know, I am not sure how I got out mentally. It was a separating from the whole mess. I had to be without its influence for many years then and onlly then did I stop defending the JW thing. I also had a friend that liked to debate and I think even though I swore he was always wrong, that some did sink in.
The physical part took 15 minutes the first and third time. The second time I did not even know I was disfellowshipped. Heard about it from my mom. I thought they had to talk to you first.
My JW brother thinks that it is better to be in and have at least some people that have a set of morals. I think he is scared. He is blinding himself if he thinks there are no good people outside of da troof. He is turning a cold cheek that there are some really bad people that are in the JW org. I think he sees the innocents like a lot of people here were and feels that that is all there is in the org. Non intentional hurtful people. I really think that he cannot face that if he admits they are nothing new or different from any other cult, that he will have wasted 40 some years.
Strange huh?

Well,
I think I am in the middle of a change. I get really nervous and have to reorganise everything. I do a lot of things well but not patiently. I need lots of laughter and it tends to get me in pickles at my job. Which is sitting in a cubicle and making up crap to do seeing I have no clue what I currently do in my new position amongst the telecom giants.
A good example of my silliness is last week a coworker called over the new guy and had me sing and dance out the stupid song that has been raging thru my head for a few days. "Short people got no body..They got lil hands and lil feet and lil cars that go beep beep BEEP...Dont want no short people round...""""
Well as the very short man proceeded to almost lie on the floor laughing, I discovered he is my new bosses , new boss.
GREAT Job Decki... (Slowly slink my way under my desk while I rock myself into a numb state.)
I want to do something more amusing with my time. (That at least is the mood of the day)
