  being curious about why people do or act the way they.

  do led me to this discussion.

  Yes, Lily, they travelled a lot...all over the world. The last I heard, they had an import business and were very successful. I haven't seen either of them in many years...

  80% of Near Death Experiencers Can't Wear Watches...

  by FMZ in

  i have had about 5 digital watches since my nde when i was young.

  every single one of them reset itself regularly.

  2 of them i gave away because of the problems i had, and their new owners (my father and brother) never had a problem with the watches since..

  I've never had a near death experience...but watches don't work on me.... They either run very fast or stop completely. With the exception of about a year...when I decided to try to wear one because I thought it looked professional. Seemed ok...and I bought a few nice watches...for variety.. About a year later they started doing the same crazy stuff, so I quit trying. It doesn't matter if it's digital, or the kind that you have to wind. I still have them tucked away in a drawer. I wind them and replace batteries just in case I want to try again. They run fine as long as I'm not wearing them.

  I never tried to figure it out...it's not really important to my life...but it is pretty weird.

  Insensitive talk assignments

  by Steve Lowry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i once was assigned a talk on masturbation when i was about fifteen or so.

  the theme of the talk was to discourage masturbating (actually to forbid the practice), as it was considered by the society a no no.

  looking back on it, it offends me to this day that they would give a kid such a sensitive and embarrassing talk assignment like that.

  I was assigned a talk on circumcision 2 weeks before my wedding. I was 18...and I didn't know what it was. I declined the assignment...told 'em I was too busy with wedding stuff.

  You deserve better than this. You can't change him but you can change your life by making yourself a real priority in your own life. You need to have some fun...a change of scenery does wonders to improve your outlook!
