Thinking of you.... I have also been there...done that... she is now 22..almost 23 and is starting to grow a brain.. It was very difficult. Put us through hell... They do not listen at that age.... we have nothing that will change them or put them on the right path.. dont give up on her...she will see what crap is out there and probably go through some of it herself.. but I know she will be back.... Just hang in there girl.. don't you dare guilt yourself about it.. my daughter had it made.. living her..but keep going off the deep end..making our lives miserable for two years........finally she is back to "normal" whatever that means... but she is a responsible human being, getting an education,, working a good summer job.. paying her own way.. so just be good to yourself..cause stress will kill ya... I could write a book but I just want to say things will be ok......give the other little one lots of attention and affection while you are waiting for the other one to grow up!! x0x0

For those that believe in the power of prayer/positive thoughts/reiki....
by LouBelle ina friend of a friend has been in a horrific car-crash.
he has an extremely slim chance of survival as his body has stopped reproducing blood.
if he does survive, he is expected to be a "vegitable".

Mom is gone
by Katheryn ini'm not much of a poster here, but the passing of my mom on friday is as good a reason as any.. she was in deep, no doubt will be refered to as "faithful to the end" by those who eulogize her.
this new chapter in my life of course has me is a reflecive mood.
i'm sure when she was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago that her hope was that the "new system" would come before she succumbed.

My deepest sympathy to you. I lost my mom too. I miss her everyday. She was not a JW but she put up with me getting into it and respected my decisions. I only wish she were here not to see my OUT!! I have not doubt you will see her again in a better place. And you will see a part of her in your new grandchild! x0

Hey, fellow Canadian...I don't post all that often but I have shared my story privately with some on the board. Some I have met in person. This is the only place that I know that I can come to where people understand exactly what I go through in my life and just where my thoughts are. I DA myself three years ago. Just take a step and give a little of yourself away. There are so many great people on this board. They have all been where we have been! Take care..x0

Funny things you thought growing up -
by cognac in1. a "shower" as in "baby shower" or "wedding shower" was when a bunch of people got together to take a shower together.
which didn't go over well with me when my mom wanted to go to a shower without my dad.. 2. when my father said to my mom that he was going to marry somebody, as in do there vows or something, i thought he was going to marry somebody else and start another family.
i almost fainted when he told me that he was leaving to go do that.

This thread is sooooooooo funny.. I am laughing crying... Thanks.. When my son was little and the seat belt law was just coming into effect here I would tell him,"Put your belt on or you will go flying out the window... He told me years later that he thought he would actually "fly" out the window. One time I was getting him ready to go out and I said to him," you are a wreck" and he said, "you mean like a rectangle??? I never forgot that. When I was a teenager, the signs on cars in a car lot would read 5600. and I thought the car was only fifty six dollars..Brain dead or what???? I once thought my sister's freckle removing creme would remove more of my freckles if I put more on my face so I lathered it on...after a few days of this areas on my face just dried up and flaked off and I had big patches of white on my face...
