so, during all of the 80s, i raised 2 kids (my ex-wife's; i've never had any biological offspring), worked on fixing up her ww2 house; made money (the economy took a turn for the better); muddled along in the congregration.. (i love those kids, to this day.
in a recent conversation wife my ex, i asked her to convey my feelings and concerns to them.
i seriously doubt that those feelings on my part were ever relayed.

its wednesday evening, i'm alone and in need of distraction and am curious about my new and old fellow posters.
so i was wondering if you would reveal what makes you different from the next person in terms of your hobbies.
what are little known facts about you?
mmm. Crazy. I love most all of it. Perhaps this is the adventure/danger/thrill seeking self-destructive part of my personality that cannot resist the challenge of a crazed, intelligent woman. haha. I amuse myself.

I am adding you to the top of my JWD crush list Sparkplug
okay here is the deal, my aunt called last night and asked us over for thanksgiving dinner, my mom agreed to go and everything was fine until my aunt mentioned that my other aunt whom i will call evil witch would also be there.
my mom had already said yes and she would like to be there to see my aunt but i don't want to go if evil witch is going to be there.. a few years ago we went over for thanksgiving dinner ( my mom did not go b/c she and evil witch do not get along, but i wanted to go to see my cousin) it was awful, evil witch said horrible things about my mom, if that wasn't bad enough she said all of these things in front of my sisters who were only nine.. needless to say i was angry, i was so mad that i got my sisters and told them it was time to go home, we didn't even have dinner.
a few days later i called her and told her that what she had done was wrong and that she should know better than to say certain things in front of my sisters, she proceded to scream at me, and i told her to go to hell and to stay away from us ( can you feel the love?).
its not a case of changing oneself. its more that we may well regret holding a grudge against someone that we did not intend to for the rest of their lives. we may have meant our displeasure to be felt over a year or shorter - but if they are about to leave the planet forever - we may have to hurry our pride, conscisnces and personal feelings along if we are ever to express them any relevancy.
Agreed. The deal though is that if people are going to be f*cks there is nothing that can be done about that. If you extend kindess and it is met with unnecessary tom foolery then you have no alternative but to just keep living. Grudges are like drinking poision and expecting the other person to die. After the cool of period when the prevailing thoughts of the day don't center on a disagreement, bury it, squash it. Life is toooo short to hurt from unnecessary pain. The responsibility falls to you personally to stop drinking your own poison.

Query. Why do people feel the need to change themselves after someone falls ill? To me that is like going to the funeral of a horrible person and saying nice things. Does her cancer change what she did? Does it change her character? If it does, kew! Go with it. As far as putting yourself out there to be hurt by someone who demonstrates a disregard for yours and your immediate family's feelings, um she can go f herself. Don't miss out on being with good people because of this Nimrod. Just be you. Protect yourself as it seems you do and don't let her dictate your moves.
i love women.
tall, short, thick, skinny, brown, yellow, red and all shades in between.
i even love the green women on the original star trek.
Canadians aren't as uptight as Americans. You guys are even cool with the mota

what would prevent us from using the same information that quotes currently uses to open up our own site?
the watchtower would come after us and we may possibly have to close it down, then someone else could open another one up.
we could have a field day !!
It would threaten free speech
Thats the stupid thing. The quotes website has no commentary. There is no speech to protect. The Watchtower Society is just paranoid that people will actually stop taking their word for history and actually discover the past on their own... then VOMIT like I did
when i was growing up i never watched cartoons.
i didn't play with other kids who were not of the same faith.
i didn't curse.
cuz sometimes in the mire of what everyone thinks we are, or wants us to be, we lose sight of what we really are... we have to dig and dig through all the masks the J0 DUBS made us put up, our parents made us put up, society makes us put up...
Its funny. I sleep so bad. After I read this and after I posted, I slept like a rock. It was like something was firing on the right cylinder and I felt just a little more whole. So thanks for all of the support. Thanks for the good sleep

I've got to bttt this. This is by far some of the best writing I have ever seen anywhere. I am awed, impressed, saddened, happy, angry. I think I've got them all. Truly wonderful. Where the hell is the rest of it Sparkplug?!?!

i sometimes feel as if my life is lived in a self induced fog (or hamster bubble .
the lastest head smacking moment was me thinking that the reason these moments are scattered might be because the whole thing all at once might be too much to handle mentally.
maybe it's better to realize how scarred you are in little bits at a time instead of all at once.
mmm. freaky. after the rum and coke maybe you'll make me do other things that I wouldn't ordinarily. LOL. I am throughly amused.
