Damage caused by your pets?
by greendawn in

after my dog chewed the internet cable and left me off line for 24 hours, i got inspired to post this topic.

have your pets caused damage in your house or even beyond?

my dog also chewed and ruined a couple of shoes and a ten pound note (around $18) that fell to the floor without me realising this.
Calliope

this is not necessarily about damage, but about my lil' puppy who is very well-trained and who got criticized by the neighbour that lives downstairs.
i just moved in last week, and my lil pup (who will be 1 year in april) has been having a hard time adjusting to life without his dad (my ex). he never used to sleep on the bed and now, he sleeps in a tight lil' ball against my belly. and, he has started this cry/whimper trait this week, when i'm not in sight...
anyway, so this morning, i was doing a load of laundry (it's a shared laundry with the person who lives below) and my neighbour walks in to get something. i apologize for the boxes i've placed outside to keep my dog from running into his yard. he agreed that was okay. then, i asked if my dog makes too much noise? which i know he doesn't when i'm home with him cause he is SOOOOO good-natured. but then again, he is a puppy so sometimes he just bounces around playing his prey/predator game. well, my neighbour proceeds to go on this rant of all this really insignificant things... in the end, my reply was, he is really well-trained but the move has been a little hard on him, so just give him a bit of time...
in the end, i was really annoyed...

it's late.

it's been a rough few weeks for me.

moving away from my old jw life and world was the only way i could deal with this journey.
Calliope

my everyday is a search for clarity, and now more than ever, for resolve.
i can appreciate what a lot of you write (your individual journeys). and you freedomlover offer a very passionate perspective. so here's to you.

Do you still believe?

2. beliefs
i have found a lot of people no longer believe in god or jesus since leaving the organization.. im very shocked at this.

if you dont believe, can you tell me what brought to that conclusion?.

i was told to look at the thread that one of the members in this forum has created, they are very interesting, but i wanted to get a some feed back from different individuals.. thanks!
Calliope

i feel pubescent in this world of beliefs and non-beliefs.
i profess i am agnostic. there is no proof either way.
i generally always believed in evolution while a wit. i just thought jehovah had put it all into motion. now that i can't bring myself to believe in jehovah, i can't bring myself to believe in any god.
sometimes though, i stare in awe at the night sky and i wish so bad there were something more.

Bad stuff you did in school

what kind of bad stuff did you do in school?

here's a small list of what i did:.

- white out things in textbooks and put something dirty in its place.
Calliope

i stole money. (i.e.buying lunch and when the cash register would open, say "what's that over there?" and then i'd have money to purchase my epicurean delightful high school cafeteria food).
i was a also pathological liar. (i.e. to the male teacher "i have my period and my cramps are really really bad, can i go lie down in the nurse's office?", and i got hang outside and smoke instead)

but then again, i was an honour student, so hey.

Facial Hair or no.

so what do you like ladies and gentalmen, .

on men that is.

facail hair on women doesn't really do it for me.
Calliope

i was a little distracted by the "wife-beater" as well...
goatee... okay.
beard... good times, but depends on how high it goes up the cheek (not a fan if it's too high).
clean-shaven... mostly a good time.
five o'clock shadow... always a good time.
stache... not much of a fan.

Calliope

is it not totally narcissistic of me to have 3 posts so far?

okay, so because i'm just a tad of the short attention span class,
i am currently reading as follows:

Who wrote the Bible, richard friedman

Narnia (perhaps as i subsitute for the bible...)

Crisis of Conscience

A Million Little Pieces

A Moveable Feast (again).
