  46 isn't that early I don't think. The are others who go thru it more early.
  
  Make sure to take care of your bones! Talk to your md about a good calicum/magnesium combo and a good recommended weightbearing exercise program to keep them healthy and strong.

  i talked to him on the phone.

  i said that i wanted an apology for him molesting me and my brother by sunday or i was going to take it to court on monday.

  he denied what he did to us, but he acknowledged yes on all the identifying questions.

  No. I like the idea of marriage but it just isn't for me. The boy's parents are (not so subtly) dropping hints that's it's about time. He knows better :-) told them that if he did that I would run.
  Good boy.

  I have news!!!

  it is amazing what can be done when there is a support system in place.

  even when that system is almost totally verbal alone.. last night i told my dh that i was not content to just be an apostate but i want to do anything and everything i can to expose them and i have chosen to do this using my real name.

  i followed that up by saying that there might even be some threats against me.

  I don't feel that you have to do this. You're slightly isolated where you are aren't you? If you need to vent and get advice there is always someone here to listen and offer support.

  Do you still pass in front of your kingdom hall?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  since the last few days, i pass right in front, and i noticed the vines growing on the side of the kingdom hall.

  now, the whole side wall is completely covered with vines.. looking at the vines, it reminded me of a face with a goatee or a beard.

  so, if they can have vines on their building, a brother should be allowed to have a goatee....

  As close to never as I can possibly get away with. There's a lot around here though so I do pass by a lot of them.
