Dismemebered, I knew I was saying it wrong, I knew someone would correct me....my humble apologies . Yet, I own the movie, and you'd think I would have memorized it by now...I really wanted to post the part about the note to the "gasman", "how'd they know I got gas"....You gonna correct me on this one too?

dumb and dummer, Jim Carey (Loyd) says to Lauren Holly (Mary) "what do you say a girl like me and guy like you getting together"?, Lauren Holly says "one in a million", Jim Carey says "so your saying I have a chance"...lol
dumb and dummer, "you guys been doing a little boozin, you bin tipping back on grampas sauce". (then cop drinks Loyds pee in the beer bottles).

ughh, i had to let my accoutant/book keeper go.
by the why she took it you would have thought we had been b-friend/g-friend.
she called after a half hour to say she wasn't believeing me.
I had to fire a guy (luckily only one so far) last summer. He cried (literally) and begged to work for 2 weeks for free. Inside I felt so bad, he just wasn't working out, he would have been good at something else, just not with what we do.

untitled document <!-- .style1 {font-family: verdana} --> in what ways do you still think or act like one of jehovah's witnesses?
last night, some co-workers invited me to watch monday night football at a .
local area bar.
I do not feel I act like a JW at all now, but in the beginning, 15 years ago, when I was 18, I was very excited about my freedom, but found that when I was put in a situation...for example, I was at a small party with a girlfriend from Highschool, we were the only girls. I felt completely out of place and uncomfortable like "I shouldn't be here in this situation". Not that I didn't love the boys, I was just used to JW boys...Also, when I 1st left, I felt very scared of having sex. I had my 1st serious boyfriend, he was very patient, but I did not have sex with him until 4-1/2 months later, I still had this feeling like I was so immoral...then it went away...lol...
To this day, I still say and do some things that are possibly contributed to being a JW growing up. Certain words I use, or the way I speak, or maybe how happy I am, which is because I appreciate my freedom everyday.

what the heck is wrong with some ppl?
i went to get lunch at my normal place, everyone there is hispanic and they all speak english.
today i walk in and start to order my food in english but the girl that was there to take my order replied in spanish so i just started to speak in spanish.
Sometimes people are just miserable, misery loves company, don't let it get you down. At least you can speak another language, you should be proud!
