Hey waiting - where did the 'old' come from?
I merely meant it seems you have experienced a lot in life and have accumulated some understanding and wisdom along with it. I didn't mean to insult you in anyway.

Dear Solid Sender, I am sorry that you are hurting so much!
There are many here who would genuinely like to hear your story and help you find a way to heal.
Why don't you find someone here you feel comfortable with (like maybe waiting, she seems very wise) and share your bad experiences. It seems to me your current method of lashing out with empty useless words and name-calling is accomplishing nothing more than relieving your frustrations and alienating you from everyone here.
There is always a certain amount of anger felt when a person feels betrayed, this is natural, but then they move on from there. While no-one has the right to tell you when it is time to 'move-on' just be aware that when you are ready there are plenty of people here at this board that care enough to be there for you (including myself) if you should ever want.
In the mean-time please don't 'flail' out so hard at us all. We're people too! -

7 sorry for the unnecessary question, I completely missed Red's post about Don B. (Did I tell you I was cross-eyed as well as ignorant?) I have never seen any of his work but I enjoy the 'Far Side' type of humour.
I love seascapes. Is there any way we can ever prevail upon you for a sample of your work you talented lady? -

Waiting I'm sure we have a cute name for them here too, but I'm not game to ask anyone
Sorry about the spelling mistake. Over the next few days I will 'discreetly?' ask around to see what the aussie peculiarities are for these types of delicacies. We use 'sweetbreads' for cooked brains (also the pancreas), here too, I think it is an English name isn't it? I wonder if that is why my parents called me 'sweety' when I was younger?
One of my Mum's favourite dishes is tripe with onions and white sauce. Uggh! I don't have a taste for any of the internal organs used in gastronomic delicacies. I don't even like the 'kidney' in the common 'ole steak and kidney pie!See Red not only 'minimal gustatory experience' but 'taste' too! The 'hoagie' I know and I believe I will have a coffee cabinet after all thanks. Hey I would have known exactly what you were looking for if you had asked me for the 'bubbler'. We have them in most of the school yards here as well as parks and some public buildings etc. So we're not that backward after all?

Hi Zep. I got the sarcastic bit thanks.
I was just curious about the KH's. I had no idea there were so many halls in the US that were built without windows. I wonder why that is? Is it a security precaution or a costing factor?
We have some nice halls here in Australia and most that I have been to have lots of big windows. Only the ones in the city where they are surrounded by other big buildings have smaller windows. Have you seen the new assembly hall they built in Sydney Zep? It has quite pleasant surroundings don't you think?

Hey Zep. Some interesting definitions here.
I don't think I've ever been to any KH's without windows here in Australia though. Thought it was only in big cities like New York. Do we have any in Australia that don't have windows?

Boy! I wish I knew what or who y'all were talking about!
Red supposin' I decided I was brave enough to have a 'stuffie' what would the 'chorico' or 'linguica' be? And a 'coffee cabinet'? The mind boggles.
Dubby I've heard of 'chitterlings' before but I don't know what they are either. (btw thanks for the kind words about my family the other day)
7 Do you mind me asking who this 'hysterical' Don B. is?
Yeh I know we Aussies are an ignorant lot aren't we!
Frenchy your other post similar to this subject was under '..a letter to Dr Laura' by Jokemyster on 5/31. Both equally as good I think.

What Do You Eat For Brakfast?
by Carmel inno attempt her at subtrafuge, just thought i'd kick off a subject with an anology.

how much of what i injest for the start of my day is controlled by the culture i live in and the habits i have come to consider "normal"?

Hey waiting, thanks for the welcome. G'day Frenchy and others.
Your description of 'grits' doesn't make them sound very appetising. Do you eat them as a 'porridge' or a 'cake'? I had some corn-bread on a visit to the west coast of US that I quite liked. However, I didn't like buckwheat porridge as a kid because of the 'grittiness' (texture u know ).
Well now that I have taken this off topic again - and revived a post that was probably dead - I just wanted to say that I grew up as a JW and I don't think I experienced the constraint you did Carmel, about what one should read and what one shouldn't.
My parents (also brought up as JW's) had a wide variety of interests and even tho' they served full time on and off throughout my childhood we were encouraged to read widely also.
Within cultures there are always constraints as to what literature is recommended and taught to one as they are growing, obviously most societies encourage their own cultural reading ahead of others for their young.
There were definitely time constraints as a JW that didn't allow for as much reading as one wanted but I read a lot about different religions, cultures and history and I don't think I have had any great surprises in the things I am reading currently. I would say that if you were an active JW today the time would be the main issue?
I am always greatly shocked when I read about atrocities we commit against each other and I am greatly disappointed that they continue to this day. I would like to think they could all be relegated to a distant past when mankind was backward and uneducated and uncivilised. Yet history does seem to repeat itself and we don't seem to learn from our mistakes very well. I have this 'childish'? desire that we could 'grow ' as human beings. Maybe that comes from the 'JW mindset' SolidS? -
