  Poverty in Poland

  im watching the bbc now, and theres a report about ex coal miners in poland.

  they have no jobs, and so instead they attack coal trains, hang onto the side and pull the wagon doors open while the train in moving.

  then people move in and collect the spilled coal from the side of the tracks.

  GF,

  Do not waste time worrying about world hunger or other huge problems – unless you intend to act.; Either figure out how to help, or dismiss it from your mind. Guilt-tripping yourself will not feed anybody.&

  She actually does a lot by encouraging commerce and tourism....

  I could get a flight, book into a nice hotel with towels, hire a car and look around like everything was OK, eat the local food in the resataurants, and maybe sit in a room with a nice coal fire burning.

  There is so much history and gorgeous architecture in Warsaw, Krakow, etc. If people were as interested in visiting eastern european cities as they are western, they could have quite a lucrative industry going on here.

  Dear Sir,

  Why, thank you for extenidng me the pleasure.

  First, I understand you no longer wish to use the words, "war on terror", instead replacing the term to describe your one-man plight with the term, "global struggle against violent extremism." Did you think this re-jumbling of words would somehow make you look like less of an oil-hording, war mongrel, and more of just your average ole martyr on a friendly bomb-dropping, democratic-rule placing spree?

  Secondly, what do you make of certain European Union members pulling their soldiers out of Iraq? I understand you may have been trying to pretend such countries no longer exist, as they have been deliberately sabotaging your cause, right? That's ok. out of sight, out of mind. But didnt the lack of continued support from the rest of the free world clue you in that something may be off here? Just a thought.

  Regards,

  Xina.

  I Haven't Forgotten...

  ...anyway i got into it with my mom and most of the family being present and sided with her that their was no way i could remember that i had seen a particular snake when i was about 2 years old.

  so fortunitly, i was able to recall a certain incident where i was at the end of our driveway about 75 yards from the house this being in a rual setting with alot of trees and, a car pulls up, i am on the passenger side and that door opens and a man says he is the postman and told me to get in because he was going to take me to the store to get some candy.

  sounded good to me, i remember i wanted to get in but couldn't try then heard the sound of my mom's voice very sternly saying my name and to come here...--end of story--

  you look...simply gorgeous, dah-ling!!

  I know about bff cousins:(

  My cousin and I were same age, grew up next door to each other, bf's as well. I flew home for her bethelite wedding. That was four years ago. She and I have not spoken since.

  If that perfect red dress does not make you feel better for your lame bff cousin going back on her word... nothing may.

  Embarrassing moments at work

  i think we need a fun fluffy thread today, so this is my attempt at starting one.

  at work we have a big bathtub with air jets.

  clients come in for a hydrobath, (hopefully remember their swimsuit 'cause i've seen so many naked people by now it's getting boring), leave and then, oh joy!, i get to clean the tub.

  Last year I walked in on my boss using the restroom... he was sitting down and reading the newspaper! ... it was mortifiying!

  I could not stand the guy and I am fairly tolerant. Some background...he was loud, arrogant, cocky, and just plain annoying. oh and he was a pig...married and always making obscene gestures at coworkers, flirting with younger girls, basically all the makings of a boss from hell going on here. Oh and he wore sweater vests. enough said already?

  So I walk in on him sitting there and he looks over from his paper and smiles and says "hi" in a very oddly non-shocked manner. I say "omg...pat i am so sorry!" and i cannot find the handle to the door to close it again so the moment truly seems to last forever.

  Because of his notorious reputation I have the best time reciting the story to everyone at work whom I'd ever even made eye contact with once. hehe. I was leaving a few weeks later, I had nothing to lose.

  Who Made Up The Words "THE TRUTH"

  by horrible life in

  who made up the words "the truth" .

  if this was an invention, they would be millionaires.

  being called the truth really sets the statement apart from lets say.....the lies.

  PITTSBURG, PA.

  ah, the genius that was "taz"... forgot the "h" in pittsburgh. lol.. i couldnt help but point that out as a fellow native.

  I always saw it as a conditioning tactic. anyone that is confident they have and speak truths does not need to go around calling themselves truth bearers and programming their members into saying they are in the truth, they speak about the truth, and so on and so on. It is so compulsive and repetitive it starts sounding suspicious.

  Pretty much the times I got embarrassed about my religion exclusively revolved around "worldly" people overhearing us speak about the word in this sense and gave that ya know, a crazy-confused look....

  liquid, I know it takes courage... and cash. But don't let that be the thing to stop you! Have you checked into financial aid?

  I always thought there should be cult survivor scholarships. hm, maybe there are?
