i know a lot of people were upset when mash ended.

i never was a big fan of the show, probably because it was on a meeting night, but it was a very popular show.. i loved hill street blues, taxi, all in the family, the rifleman, even superman!

i wished those shows never stopped!.

I had to put up with :

The Dean Martin Show

The Porter Wagner Show

Gun Smoke

Mule Train

Ponderosa

Red Skelton

The Honeymooners

Just to name a few ... thank goodness they weren't into "Mr. Welk".

DEADWOOD!!!! God, I loved the f*****g show!!!

Ohhh, me too... the promise of a 2 hour movie to wrap things up never materialized, such a let down.

I also miss, "Designing Women" and "King of Queens".

Can't stand the thought of "Dexter" going off the air, I hear next season is the last.

YOU SHALL REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

If I have reaped what I've sown then I will take more please....

I've met a wonderful man, we've been married for 10 years now. I have two great daughters that I couldn't be more proud of and two beautiful grandchildren that constantly amaze me.

Sure, there's been ups and downs since I faded, but not any more than the average person has.

I reaped happier kids, a clear conscience, freedom of thought, and tuesday and thursday nights and sunday mornings,

I couldn't agree more

I've also gained my "Freedom" ... priceless !!!

A beautful executive desk chair that I've had my eye on for awhile !! Several snowman figurines that I love to collect, candies, office supplies, DVD's and clothes.

Best of all, spending time with our children and grandchildren, followed by a huge family dinner that included our extended family, hosted at our home.

I have much to be thankful for.

Does anyone find it too painful to read the WTS publications?

by dissed in

been out 13 years and even for research purposes, i find it way too painful to read this wt stuff.. and why?.

all the painful memories it brings back.

don't misread me, it has nothing to do with a guilty conscience.. it has to do with the real pain, the anger of being ripped off and lied too by the wts, the anger of seing how they have protected child molesters, sacrificed its followers by refusing blood transfusions, the treacherous way we and others were treated by the 'unloving brothers'.

Casper

I don't have access to read them, not that I would, but I find that if I read posted articles from scanned copies, here on the forum, that it seems to put me in a "Zone" of some sorts.

I can almost feel the hypnotic effect take over....

So, no... I don't find them too painful, nor do they make me angry... I personally can't handle the feeling they cause to come over my mind.

I know... weird !

Share Your Favorite Aphorisms

i'm a great fan of aphorisms.

zen has some of the classic ones.

the moral consequences of doing whatever you do is that you will be the sort of person who did that.. "it's best to ride the horse in the direction it's going.".
