  No Sports Cars Please!

  by snugglebunny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.

  the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.

  was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

  I have had many, even some with 4 doors. I was once an avid racer (legal and illegal).

  whenever I had two door cars I still always had one with 4 also ("service car"). That was the wife's.

  Still even though I had a "service car" I still was looked down on for owning a car with two doors. that was out west where people (witnesses) have nothing better to worry over except dumb little things. In New York city, no one gave a rats ass the car had two doors, most people didn't even have cars so it was considered nice to have a car period.

  where losch was the speaker).

  at the end of his talk, here's what he said: .

  So I failed. I didn't go. In the end I just didn't want to go to a meeting. I've been so good at avoiding the midweek meeting for months now it just felt so much better to stay home.

  Side note though. Wife didn't stay for the whole thing. She came home. All she said to me was they were having tons of technical problems and the AV stuff not working. #fail.

  Sounds like big J's chariot has some bugs.

  What is your relationship with ALCOHOL?

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. physical

  here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".

  another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".

  already people are making cries of "nanny state!

  I've found as I've gotten older that even the occasional "getting hammered" is just no fun - it just takes longer and longer to recover and the blergh doesn't make up for the "fun" (what fun?!).

  Ain't that the truth.

  South Florida at the moment lol

  Let's do it man!

  Some one was talking about stress and drinking. I eat when I'm stressed, Comfort food. I drink when I'm happy. It's the cherry on top. And I love to drink so I do it when I feel good or need to be creative.

  We split a bottle almost every evening (Which is too much according to the guidelines...) but I don't see us stopping....

  I think that is just right
