My first indoor Concert was at the Oakland Coleseum. Saw the Isley Brothers. An upcoming group called Graham Central Station was the opening act that night.

I believe that's Larry Graham's group. Famous witness that studied with Prince and others....

Best show? Paul McCartney 4 years ago in Sacramento. It was as you described it...magical.

lsu, california state,, eastern and western illinois among others offer fantastic classes.

harvard even offers a doctorate degree on line, although you will have to attend for a short time on campus.

several members of my family are finishing up degrees or advancing them through clep tests or on line classes through these sites, with testing done at local colleges or homework sent through the mail at minimal cost compared even to your local jr. college.

For mother's out there...cleaning a son's bedroom!

my son is twenty years old, a good kid, is doing great in college so i usually keep the door closed to his bedroom so i don't have to look.

today he took out a huge batch of laundry for me to do and the odor from that bedroom had me reeling.. here is my humorous but deadly serious post on the matter:!!!!!.

after vacuuming, enough dust to fill the entire dust bin in the vacuum.. enough change on the floor to keep him in fast food for a week.....(don't ask me for money).

I used to give my kid a bad time about how he had so much junk on the floor of his bedroom that I couldn't see the carpet. This was not exageration. About a foot deep.

Then one morning I went in to wake him up and found that when he got undressed for bed the night before, he had litterally dropped his drawers right where he stood so that they were perfectly placed so that he could just step into the foot holes and pull his pants on the when he got up. Wow, I was impressed with his efficiency!!

Amazing!!

i noticed another thread on this site relaying a stupid e mail making the rounds of dubdom.. well i just got this one and i thought i would share.... powerful illustration.

after the prayer, the local elder slowly stood up, walked up to the.

platform and, before he gave his public talk, he briefly introduced a guest.

Fleaman, uncalled for..

Well now I'm just angry

i just read blondies wt review and it made me angry.

how can the society continue to place more importance on pioneering than getting an education or getting a good job?

why do these men insist on making young ones (and even older members) feel bad for wanting to have a secure future, what the hell is wrong with not wanting to live in a tent?

Meanwhile the elders who pushed me to do more had great jobs, fancy new trucks, every toy they wanted and could never go out in service because they were too tired.

They're always looking for humble hard working employees, ya know...

I appreciate the posts where active JWs come on and attack JWD and or opposers, and then "stays in there" as the responses roll back at them. Love a great impassioned debate.
