As kids we used to go round the streets after bonfire night and collect spent fireworks - not all of the contents would have burned. We'd tip all the unburnt powder into a pile and set light to it to make what we called 'genies'
Great fun at the time, but with hindsight very very dangerous!

published: 7:05pm bst 14 jun 2009. film claims chemicals make chickens grow to maturity twice as quickly as they would naturallyphoto: epabut when the much-anticipated documentary food, inc. opens this week, many may find themselves unable to finish their snacks as the film exposes some unsavoury realities about how food reaches the dinner table.. "there are no seasons in the american supermarket", a voice intones in the opening scene as a camera swept past supermarket shelves groaning with plump-breasted chickens, perfect cuts of meat and bountiful fruit, vegetables and grains.. major food producers would not agree to be interviewed for the movie and they tried to ban the filmmakers from their stock yards, pig farms and chicken barns.but the producers fought off law suits, grabbing headlines and impressive reviews as they aim to do for the food industry what former vice president al gore's controversial documentary an inconvenient truth did for debate about climate change.. the documentary was produced by the same company that made an inconvenient truth, which was widely criticised by global warming sceptics for its apocalyptic approach.
The industry doesn't want you to know the truth about what you're eating because if you knew, you might not want to eat it.

Looking at the info and sponsorship pages, it appears not to be directly connected with JWs. There are quite a lot of other folks concerned about blood transfusions/treatments these days because of all the foul-ups and scares.
spelling and grammar need to be improved and perhaps it should be toned down a little.
Yup, if this is for real, what Black Sheep wrote is correct.
The Charities Commission will just send you a standard reply.
They aren't interested in emotion, just hard facts - backed up with hard evidence.
dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
Ooohhh I forgot this thread in the manicness of life!
Nothing much to report really. Both cats have been ill so much of the last 2 months have consisted of work and twice-weekly trips to the vets.
Yorkie has had a very malignant tumour removed, now we have to hope it doesn't return - he's doing well so far I've just about got him back to 'full speed' and now the other one is suffering with suspected pneumonia hopefully we've started treatment before its really got a hold, should have a better idea by next week.
We've had really good weather here for the last couple of weeks, broken by a thunderstorm and torrential rain today, its a bit cooler now but everything has freshened up with the rain. I have a sore shoulder where the sun caught me unawares on saturday, it is just getting to the 'itchy' stage - but I can't even touch it because its too painful, ouch! That'll learn me, as we say here LOL!
"inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.".
is this seriously one of the forum's rules to follow?
how can that be so when this whole forum is based on inciting hatred towards one religion.....jehovah's witnesses.......wow this is funny!
Welcome to the bunfight, scrap LOL!
You've probably gathered by now that we're a pretty mixed (-up!) bunch.
I hope you come back and post some more, but if you prefer to lurk for a while that's ok too, just keep that open mind of yours active
our cat carmel has been sick for over a month.
she started puking every morning and about a week later, on barbara's birthday, she puked five time before 8:00 am.
we canceled our plans and took her to the vet, he ran a bunch of tests and sold us some medicine for the puking.
Awww Barbie, I do hope Snicker will be ok. Sounds like he's been given too much/too potent.
I am rapidly becoming anti-vaccination unless they are absolutely necessary.
i learned how to do this in 4th grade, but got rusty over the years.. a refresher course helped me to see that it really works!.
also, if you want to know if a number with 2 or more digits is divisible by 3, add the digits - which sum will be smaller - to see if the sum is divisible by 3.. sylvia.
All clear now?
It took me 15 minutes to work it out but yes, I got it in the end!
