from me send me a address on my pm .
mother/granny/mouthy always send cards to her loved ones seems no one has started a christmas exchange gift this year & i am not going to start it either
I stll have my list - some are already on it from last year, and I have added a few this year who PM'd me.
If anyone wants to be added, please PM me with your address and I will make sure it gets on the list. I will be sending the list out next week.. And I'd love it if anyone wanted to send me their lists as well. Maybe we can consolidate it into one big list.
today i went to my daughter's school and they sang "america the beautiful" and i videoed her.
i do have a question though!!
how do most people explain to their children about why grandma and grandpa never come to their birthday party or any holiday function?
That is a tought place. I'm fortunate that my parents respect my position, even if they don't agree with it.
When my son was younger, I told them that I had terrible memories of staring in horrified fascination at those bloody gory pictures and that it was not ok to read it to him. I provided other books that I approved of and made it clear that he was NOT being raised as a witness.
With my parents, I never had to draw any more line than letting them know that I am the parent and it is up to me to decide what my children look at. I know that is rare.
I hope you find a workable solution and I understand your statement about wanting your Mom back. I feel a hole every holiday season because I know that prior to my mom becoming a witness, she loved christmas and I would love to see her share that experience with her grandchildren.
karma: the force generated by a persons actions held in hinduism and buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and its ethical consequences to determine his destiny in his next existence..
????.
(i do believe in karma but i tend to believe that what you do in this life affects you in this life... not your next existence) ..
I use the same definition as you...paybacks or rewards come in this life. I know a few people that I am waiting for it to come back and bite them!!
hello all, missed you all lots.. thought id pop on and update you, well bubs has missed both of her due dates, im as big as a whale and looking forward to having it all over.

Hang in there!
If they give you the pitocin, please don't be like me - let them give you the epidural before you suffer through it for 7 hours first.
Cali, who is still kicking herself for the unnecessary agony.The epidural was fantastic!
so, how many of you are going to hit up the bowling alleys with your apostate literature after you finish trick or treating?
We never got to go bowling/ We just turned out the porch light. After a couple of years in the neighborhood, everyone knew we didn't celebrate so there was only the occasional knock from new people or the ones who came from another neighborhood and didn't know us.
Since it's meeting night, most have a built in reason for not being home tonight anyways.
As for me, I will be outside at our neighborhood pizza party and living vicariously through my children's enjoyment of all that I never got to participate in!
are things sooooo different now??
?
Well, I am the same person I always was. Or, depending on who you ask!
I don't see that internally I am any different, but I believe that my personal core values came from my parents, not from the cult. The only difference is that I no longer have to project that I am somethng that I am not.
a co-worker says she's been having panic attacks lately and is quite concerned about them.. she was given a prescription for atarax to use 'as needed' but it didn't help any.. i wonder if anyone here has had - or knows someone who has had - these sort of attacks.. what sort of symptoms were experienced?
what treatment worked??
what didn't work???.
I have had them on and off for years. They started when I was a teenager and have returned in cycles ever since. I'm currently going through a rough patch with them.
In the more mild forms, it feels like intense pressure on my upper left chest, my arm tingles, heart pounding. At it's worst, I sweat profusely, and feel like I can't breathe, plis all the "heart attack" symptoms.. I have been to the ER a couple of times thinking for sure I am having a heart attack. The bad ones tend to happen when I am away from home and go away on their own once I am home. I take Xanax as needed ( a very mild dose) and it does seem to work. Most of the time, just knowing that I have them to take if the feeling gets too much is enough to help calm me down.

ok, fluffy time!.
mrs ozzie and i are just back home and so there's plenty of laundry to do - that's my job, and i quite enjoy it, but there's one thing that spoils it for me and that's the clothes hangars!.
you know how it goes, some hangars for pants, some for skirts, some for shirts, and then some are plastic, some are steel and some are those confounded wire hangars you get from the dry cleaners.. they're always getting tangled up; it doesn't matter how well i stack them (i've got a basket for them), when i get out in the yard to hang out the clothes, there's always one, it only takes one!
Organize.com, and use plastic hangers.
