  what dessert should i serve with lasagne?

  making beef lasagne, green salad and garlic bread.

  stuck at the dessert, don't want something too rich and heavy.

  I'd go with something prepared with puff pastry. The simplicity will contrast with the complex flavors of the lasagna.

  but then again, I'm just a fat kid.

  my oldest daughter is a handful.

  she has a mouth that just doesn't seem to stop and today we got into it .....again.. well, after a bunch of crap coming out of her mouth, i smacked her on the arm and told her to quit the talking to me that way.. then, it got worse when she kicked me.

  geez, how would you have dealt with this kind of thing.. i told her i'm going to send her to a camp this summer where they put her on a giant kite (parasailing) and make her fly off a cliff.

  I never raised my hand or my voice to my mother despite the fact that she never restrained herself from doing such things.

  I never had the right to hit my mother, but I think I could have yelled at her a few times... but I never did.

  And thats a JW mom with mental issues.

  I don't know what drives kids to disrespect their parents, but I don't think an adventure camp would help. To tell the truth, I'd let her spend some quality time in a county facility- even if only for a few hours, that'll show her who's tough and who's not.

  ok, take a couple seconds and go check out www.circuitleasing.com .

  notice that on every page, the buick logo appears.. .

  the buick logo, however, is not accompanied by any trademarks or reserved rights, and the site itself doesn't mention anywhere that they have permission to use the logo for their own purposes.. .

  Also, on the "Inventory" I saw tons of cars that weren't Buicks. Chevrolets, Hondas, and a Mercury.

  So Circuit Leasing is using the Buick Logo to represent themselves as they sell other makes of cars.

  This is at the least extremely fishy, and may need investigation further from someone who knows what they are talking about more than myself...

  anyone?

  This also reminds me of two more.........

  In high school, me and a buddy used to grab peoples bookbags during class, and take everything out of the bag, then turn it inside out, and shove all the books back in it, and zip it. Pretty much this left people with a big pillow thing with no straps to hold on to. For maximum effect, we would do it right at the end of class, so when the bell rang, and they looked down, it would be way too late. We did it SOOOO much in fact, that no one sitting near us trusted us anymore, so they would attempt to sit with their legs through the straps and things so we couldn't get them away. We always found a way though...

  Sometimes too, we would ziptie the bookbags to the desks, so kids would end up picking up the desk, with their bookbag.

  number 2 is a teacher who never taught us anything. her idea of teaching was to sit at her computer and surf the web during the whole class. This naturally irritated us, so we started going in the class before her, and disconnecting the LAN connection.

  We did it everyday for two weeks... and she blamed it on kids in the class before us!!

  I used to work at Target ( a big retail store) and all the employees were given walkietalkies for communication throughout the store.

  The Walkies had multiple channels on them, so when all the bosses went into a meeting, they would all switch their walkies to a dead channel, so that way they could be reached in case of an emergency. Of course they would announce what channel they were going to.

  Well, its a huge store, and everyone has a walkie, so we would really have some fun... switch to their channel and start moaning, making real sexual noises, or find some kids keychain that played catchphrases from nacho libre or Spongebob, and play them over the walkie.

  AA, I know the keytones number for Jingle Bells, and when I would make the closing announcement for the store overhead, I would always play the song first during the holidays...

  If someone told you they would give you $10 M,,,,,, if you,,,,,,

  just closed your eyes, threw a dart at the world map, and would have to take the 10 million, get on a plane within the hour, move to that location, and never look back, contact your friends or relatives again.

  no rule changes.

  you can take your mate and/or minor children, but can tell no one else.

  Ocean means a rethrow, and uninhabited areas too.

  I'd do it in a heart beat (and actually aim for some crappy country where 10 million would carry me veryyyy far.)

  I'm a greedy bastard. I'll be honest.

  To everyone who has commented on the beauty of my godson... Thank you.

  He's surely a little thing, and hopefully, he'll turn out to be as charismatic as his parents, and his favorite Uncle Richie.

  Ritchie, that makes me want to have another child! So precious!

  Who wants to be a daddy?!

  I'm not really in the market for having my own kids... but I'm always game for a practice round...

  July KM - warning against active apostates - summary

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the question box in july deals with the internet - mainly concerned with children on myspace & similar sites -mentioning that your child could be talking to paedophiles , dfd ones or even "active apostates" .

  the main article deals with the - "exciting" and "thrilling" news of the new wt arrangement (maybe some people should get out more).

  nothing new in the article , which has as the sole justification the need no longer to explain "theocratic" terms like "pioneer" , but it does seem that the awake will be tailored more to non-christian people.

  JGNAT,

  facebook is a closed website which you can only only join if you are attending university or work in a related company.

  There is a large group for JWs, and myself, theinfamousone, and Lola28 all tagteam on there to back each other up and raise a lot of valid points.

  Usually, what happens is, someone pops up, goes a couple of rounds with one of us, then they disappear.

  Then someone chimes in that we, the XJWs, are correct, and then the process repeats itself.

  The process is rather slow, but I get several messages a day from people who are interested in knowing the truth.

  as a good witness i only swore once (aloud) in my 30 year theocratic career (at work).

  have any members here started $&^%ing since leaving the borg?.

  a fairly new publisher once said in a talk "when a householder tells you to f%$ off".

  I curse when I feel like it. Which is pretty nice. Some days I'm a sailor, some days I'm a saint.
