  My parents have them all over the house when I visit. I'm sure they are much smaller in size than when I was a teenager. Maybe it's an Oz thing.

  As a JW, did you ever stand for the national anthem ...

  my conscience wouldn't allow me to do otherwise.

  after all, this is the country that schooled me and fed me.

  i use all the infrastructure here, and am entitled to all rights and benefits that any other citizen was entitled to.

  There seems to be a range of variable in situations such as this. My parents (elder dad), told us that it was disrespectful to stay sitting, and that we should stand if the anthem was played, but not to sing. It wasn't so much of an issue in where we lived, the anthem wasn't played much at school, not like the US where you had to salute the flag etc. We just had it play sometimes at sporting events and the movies, but we always stood.

  unclebruce once posted pictures of his cottage, and i bookmarked it.

  i've just booked us into it for our anniversary weekend... .

  i haven't seen him around lately, and his wife didn't seem to know about any discussion board called jwd (she asked, "how did you find out about us", the effective marketing question).

  Hi Sas

  He's been busy with lots of things away from the boards, doing a tafe course etc. I think that He was looking after the place that you mentioned but doesn't live there full time.

  Hope you have a great anniversary break.........btw I'm at the snow next week with the family, and again 2nd week Aug........are you getting some time there? Have you heard from Mrs P? We still haven't done the Cannyfest :(

  Best wishes

  so, when i was little, there was this guy i used to hang around with.

  he was like an older brother to me.

  in fact, 8 years my senior, he might as well have been.. his mom and my mom were best friends.

  That's really nice for you RR, hold on to those good feelings..............even if they make you a little sad.

  I went to the beach this weekend and got burnt as a mother, and further, I have a hybrid bird flu / SARS thing happening from some late night clothing optional ocean swimming- so I took a couple of extra days off

  hope you're feeling better soon
