The short one in the middle is kind of sexy. The two long beards on the end, YUCK. They kind of remind me of the beards the patriarchs must have had in the Bible. Never been a big fan of the patriarch look. Brings back to many bad memories of bad dramas and watch tower illustrations.

Its Over

by diamondblue1974 in

there are some of you that know this already but for those that dont and that are interested to know i decided a few weeks ago to end what was a relatively short relationship with and marriage to, elaine.

i dont take these decisions lightly and the last few months have silently been hell whilst i try to get a grip on my thoughts and feelings and the decisions ahead; when two people are simply too fundamentally different and do not provide for each other in the way that they should, in my view not a lot can be done and this is the situation i found and find myself in.. i know a few of you might have met elaine and for those that have i dont wish for you to think any ill of her.

i dont apportion any real blame other than on us both for the breakdown; shes still the same person you met and has some fantastic qualities.

Well, call me horny, but I think firemen, policemen, darkish brooding sage types, men who can cook, and free lance writers are all very sexy!

Yes, Katie. I think we could amuse ourselves for quite a while. After I share with you the secrets of successful hairsplitting, we could then turn our attention to perplexing conundrums such as how to get the camel through the eye of the needle! I'm sure we could kill a few years on that one alone.

Dear Katie

See my reply to Purza's post. I'm sure I could help you both out with some hairsplitting techniques. So nice to find another kindred spirit here. I love your sense of humor!

Count ceiling tiles.

Draw a line in the crease of whatever book it was.

See if I could get my foot to fall asleep to the point I couldn't move it.

Try to draw a portrait of a random person in the hall. I'm no artist by any stretch of the imagination but one time it came out perfect.

Lol Monkeyshine: Your post reminded me I used to do all these too but I forgot. I would like to copy and paste them to my previous list.

Question: After you counted the ceiling tiles, did you ever try and count the little holes in the tiles? Now that would truly be an accomplishment! Also, after your foot fell asleep, did you get a little sexual thrill when the blood rushed back into it and you got the pins and needles effect?

I recall doing this as well. CD -- were you ever successfull in getting the hair to split all the way down?

Well, as a matter of fact Purza, I was successful. I believe all my years of training as a JW was instrumental in developing my superior hair splitting skills!

DECLARATION OF TRUTHFULNESS

by tijkmo in

.

i was just at my sis for supper...it came up in conversation that when they (her and hubby) were on the last circuit assembly programme - relating an experience - he had to sign a declaration specifying that the experience was true.. i was completely taken aback by this...the irony etc...they were surprised that i was unaware of this.. funnily enough the reason it came up was that in a different talk an experience had been acted out that is almost certainly untrue..given that it happened to a girl who is seeing a psychiatrist for constant lieing...her father had the assembly part and must surely have also had to sign the declaration... had anyone else had to sign such a declaration or know someone who did.
