Winning the lottery, would it really change your life?

imagine that you won a couple of million $, would this have a huge bearing on you or would you just make slight ajustments to your life?.

i'd be the same person, but with more resources, that's all !!!!.

i'd be more "me" and wouldn't change into someone else because i became rich.. how about you?

MsMcDucket

JH, come on now? Do you really have to ask? I have my own family, I have 12 brothers and sisters, my mom is still alive, and I can't tell you how many nieces and nephews (and that's just on my side of the family) that I have. I'd, probably, be broke the next day. So, I guess you could say that I would still be the same person. I'd still have to work to make ends meet.

when you were a j.w why were you taught to not celebarte christmas?

also is there fact behind there teachings?.

did you ever feel left out at this festive season and what did you think of others that celebrated?

MsMcDucket

The dubs told me it was wrong. Said it was pagan. Hell, I didn't know what pagan meant, but it was bad. So, I stopped celebrating Christmas. Now, I think pagan schmagan (whatever); I'm going to celebrate it. I am not a dub. The dub's feel that all of christendom are pagan, so you can't win.

I don't think I'm worshipping a tree. I think it's a decoration, and if you've got the time and the energy to put one up. Do it!

my husband called me at work to tell me that he was in extreme pain (he is handicapped.).

i was the charge nurse at a medical facility and the only rn on duty, so i couldn't leave.

i was unable to reach my oldest daughter, so i called the twins (the ones that are shunning me).

My husband called me at work to tell me that he was in extreme pain (He is handicapped.). I was the charge nurse at a medical facility and the only RN on duty, so I couldn't leave. I was unable to reach my oldest daughter, so I called the twins (the ones that are shunning me). No one was returning my calls. I do work the night shift and it was about 3 a.m. I was getting desperate. I called my husband to see how he was doing, and he said the twins had called! I tried reaching them again. They didn't answer their phones. So, I called my oldest daughter again, and she finally answered the phone. I told her what was happening, and she said she'd get right over to the house. I called home, again, and my daughter answered the phone (I thought it was the youngest.). I said, Heather, have your sisters made it over there, yet? My daughter said "Mom this is Lauren" (One of the twins). I couldn't believe it! They didn't have the courtesy to call me and tell me that they were going to check on their father.

Don't you think that this is down right disrespectful? And I can't even think of all of the other terms that come into play! I was just incredulous? You would think that they would call me to tell me that they were going to check on their dad!

It ended up being that a medication that he had taken caused him to have a sickle cell-like crisis. He doesn't have sickle cell; he has the trait. Anyone, that has sickle cell knows how painful that this can be.

This shunning stuff is a *&^%!

MsMcDucket

Thanks Ozzie and Legolas! I've got to work tonight, so I want be on the board tonight. I need to work to keep my mind busy. (I need the money, too.) It keeps me from thinking about the twins so much.

See you all in the morning. I have to work tomorrow night, too. I should have a chance to peruse the board before I hit the sack. (those 12 hours shifts are a killer)

I don't know how to enlarge the picture. I'm the one standing by the car. The girl in the gold dress is my oldest daughter getting ready to go to a prom. You can see the twins and my baby girl on the truck. Of course, everyone is a lot older now.

Edited: I guess if you click on the picture it will enlarge.
