i remember several times in the past knocking on doors in the ministry and some bodacious babe would answer the door naked, semi-naked, or extremly suggestively dressed.
how many of you guys/gals has this happened to?.
i think i'm going to answer the door naked the next time some witness sisters show up at my front door....lol i can't wait.

after eighteen years of marriage, my husband passed away last year of a terminal liver disease.
today is the aniversary of his death.
he died on april 22, 2001 and he was the love of my life.
I tip my hat in honor of you, your husband, and your love. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us.

last week i know you all thought i said "something big" was going to happen this weekend.. but let us look at this.
could something big have happen, and we just didn't know it?.
or maybe we should look at the greek word for big.

a lot of you might think this is a question strictly for the pagans out there, but christians have had totem animals as well.
merriam-websters defines a totem as:main entry: totem .
pronunciation: 'to-t&m.
Something for those with an eagle totem:
Rushing War Eagle
The Good Omen

Hey, Plum,
I am going to paint that on my living room wall.
Cool! Which one?
Your totem animal is the WOLF.
In that case, you'll probably like another Bev Doolittle painting, "The Sentinel":
Wolves of the Crow:

someone replied to a post i entered and got me thinking what others perceive about us due to the nicks or id we have chosen.
some of the nicks i am sure are just self explanatory , others are cute, or simple.
although i suspect that very many in this room,took time to think of theirs and definitly the nick holds some little secret as to who they are as a person.
COMF stands for "Captain of my Fate". It is based on the last two lines of Tallyman's favorite poem: http://home.rochester.rr.com/jlungu/poem.htm

thank you, thank you, thank you for making me see that i'm wasting my time being in a world of bitter, twisted, self-absorbed people and helping me to wake up to the benefits of being a jehovah's witness!
if any of you come back with the ol - the jw's are full of bitter, twisted, people (in the most stupid arse voice of course!
), i'll reply, yeah, but not as rampant as the rest of the world.....call me crazy if you like, i don't care, because it's my salvation i'm worried about not yours....you've thrown it away because you can't see the bigger picture....trials and tribulation will always abound in this day and age...it is proving like job that we are not discouraged by the trials that gains us the most happiness because we know the trials won't go on much longer and jah will repay us 100 fold for our pain....that's a damn good reward to me!
By golly, you've pegged it, animal! Shame on me for missing this one, especially in the face of statements like, "I appreciate the nicer things in the human psyche...like, immaturity". Here I was trying to blame it on PMS. Silly me!

had a backlash of negative shit to deal with
Ah-ah-ah... witnesses don't use cusswords. "Let not a rotten saying come out of your mouth." "Let your utterance be always seasoned with salt."
it is weighed down with bitterness, closemindedness, hatred and sorrow and that's something I can't fix...
Did anybody say you were supposed to fix it?
I don't need the added burden of people here too...
How did they come to be your burden?
I appreciate the nicer things in the human psyche...like, immaturity
Yes, hon, we can see that.
there will always be ones who want everyone to be as miserable as they are...
Oh god, the irony is killing me.

beautifulgarbage's post about the rocks and beck's post about living life over again reminded me of something that i have on my refrigerator that i try to live by.
i am thankful...... for the teenager who is not doing dishes and watching tv, because that means he is at home, not on the streets.. for the taxes that i pay, because it means that i am employed.. for the mess to clean after a party, because it means that i have been surrounded by friends.. for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means i have enough to eat.. for my shadow that watches me work, because it means i am out in the sunshine.. for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means i have a home.. for all the complaining i hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.. for the parking spot i find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means i am capable of walking and that i have been blessed with transportation.. for my huge heating bill, because it means i am warm.. for the lady behind me in church that sings off key, because it means i can hear.. for the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means i have clothes to wash. .
for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means i have been capable of working hard.. for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it mean that i am alive.. and what's the use in living if you spend your whole life complaining, so always try to look at the bright side.. shimmer
Freedom's just another word for
Nothing left to lose
