I turned 60 a week or so ago.. I had a really hard time with 40... but 60... No, i dont want to be 60..sounds too old!! A good friend of ours who has been fighting. kidney cancer, heart disease.. got a kidney with a virus in it, now on dialysis three times a week gave me some wise words.. He said "you have to live what you got". ... so whatever time I have left I am going to live it and live it well.. no more fear of what might or might now come in my time.. I dont ever mind riding on the back of my husband's Harley going 120 miles an hour... I am living....what I got!!

I have a few female friends that would love to me you. I know a lot of people that bought land and have immigrated to Canada. Most of them are retired. I think if you have someone to sponsor you it would be much easier.. PM Me if we can help.. My husband and I live in Florida for the winter and love it for the weather but I am always happy to get home to Canada.. and I live in the East where the maply syrup flows.. What is your field of work?? We even have land we can sell you..The pace is pretty slow where we live so it would take some adjusting.. it is a pretty sweet place to settle down.

Help - my husband wants to buy scratch off tickets!
by doublelife inbut, i don't see that as a bad thing.
he asked me over lunch if i think it's wrong and i told him no.
we discussed why the society says it's wrong and i told him why i don't agree with it and he agreed.

I dont see the difference between buying a lottery ticket and buying stocks in the stock market.. Taking a gamble on both.. The WBTS have invested millions in the stock markets and lost and gained money. If he is going to speak to the elders.. get him to mention this to them...

We had a few women who wore masks to all the meetings and spent tons of money on a holistic treatment to release allergies.. this was provided by a JW who specilized in this and other forms of treatment. I think the name for it was NATE. Some people sat in the library to keep themselves out of the air of the congregation. The hall had a serious problem with mold in the basement. The sold it a few years ago to people who run a day care center there now.. Poor kids..

I opened my secret santa gift today.. My husband and daughter got it the other day at the post office and hid it for Christmas morning as I kept going to the post office looking for it!!! So it really was a big surprise. I love the beautiful gift and want to thank my Secret Santa all the way from California..

Secret Santa Wish List 2009
by Lady Lee infor those of you who signed up for the secret santa 2009 list here is where you give your secret santa an idea of things you might like.
it's hard enough to give gifts to people you know nevermind people you have never met.. so bearing in mind the $15 limit give us an idea what your favorite interests, colors are, or what things you might like.. in the past people have suggested something for their new christmas tree, a book, a cd of their favorite music, something from where their secret santa lives (something with the city's or country's name on it or an widely known item.. once people get their name they will be able to check back here to get an idea of what your interest is before they go shopping.. if you say "anything" or don't post then expect a surprise..
