I always loved fashion and could not express myself with it while a JW, even at 35, out 17 years, I still dress rebelious! It is a constant need.

i was going through some old photos today, i found one of myself when i was a devout jw.
it was really shocking!
i'm so thin, my cheeks are hollow, i'm as white as the wall behind me, i'm standing hunched over, and in my eyes you can see real misery.

i don't normally give a rat's arse what happens on dancing with the stars, don't see it every week even, but i did watch the finale.
having seen the last couple of episodes, i thought for sure mya would win...should win.. but donny osmond??.
maybe the end is near....
I m with you, I am so mad about it, that I am ready to stop watching...but can't say never cause I am such a sucker for it!!!
Mya scored the highest, but there is a large public following of Donny. He was alright, but Mya deserved to win technically I think.

I ve been drunk many times in my life, but I am 35 now so its not something I look forward to anymore. I hate hangovers! Yet, when I was younger, I could party like a rock star. I got my hair done last night, had 1 glass of cheap wine, and felt loopey quick, need to build up my tolerance!

alot of members don't have a flag or country name beside their user name, and well frequently one doesn't know where that particular person is from, tell us your country, state, county or what ever you feel like giving out.
if you are going to post please at least devulge your country.. me, i'm originally from taranaki, new zealand via auckland.
for the most of this decade i have been living & working in brisbane, queensland, australia.. .
Chicago, IL, da bears, da cubs, da bulls...

I am way too hyper, sometimes I forget to relax and listen. I talk too much too. Trying to follow the motto, loose lips sink ships...hard for me cause I got so much to say sometimes....working on that.

first off lmao, i was just joking by my title guys.
im only 24yrs old and i like to have fun!
anyway, this is my very first post on this wonderful site.
Welcome dub r!!!
You know, Nova was on last night, program called being human I think, was really interested in watching it more, but my 2 year old wanted to watch something else, so we shut it off BUT I have been thinking about this alot since:
They have found bones of people much older than the biblical people mentioned in the bible, how come if the bible is true, we have not found anyone person (bones) living at that time but we have found numerous human like/ape like species older than people referenced in the bible? Am I right about this? If I am wrong about this point, please educate me, perhaps I missed discoveries over the years...I know about the dead sea scrolls in such, but perhaps the bible was written because it was fashionable to believe in Gods.
The program yesterday (based on findings) showed those bones/people older than the bible had their rituals too, they did things for their Gods etc...but in that period they had so much less, less influences because of less people, only lived to be 30 on average.
Those people mentioned in the bible lived far longer, have their been discoveries of anyone biblical that showed they lived over 200+ years??
Perhaps I should have started a topic on this, meant to welcome dub r, but I am also agnostic, and this show got me thinking...

six-
I wish I brought my camera to be able to take picture, perhaps another day, although I would be flaunting my tat, I am too humble for that, NOT.
I agree with keeping it discreet for me, I too work with the public so they cannot be seen. I so want a little diamond stud in my nose but cannot do it because of my job.
You know, when I got my tramp stamp, it was about 9 years ago, I was 26, I was thinking how cute it would be there, did they call it tramp stamps then? Oh, my mistake that was my 1st one on the belly, got the tramp stamp in 2002, did they call it tramp stamp then?
Getting it done on my stomach was far more painful than on my back, although both tats gave me the shakes afterwards cause of holding onto something for so long to tackle the feeling of the needle. Anyone else get the shakes?
I am going to get another one on my back for xmas from hubby, it will be a pair of cheetah pattern high heels, I thought it would be cute, on back, left top back of shoulder area, who cares when Iam 90 and my tats are sagging? Everything else will, right.

Got one! Ha Ha V!!! Its a cute little butterfly with fire...a man named Sage did it in Meza, AZ (oh, and I one around my belly button too, a black sun, hurt like hell if there is a fiery place of torment, not as bad a child birth though).
How bout u?

my sister called me tonight, and reminded me of this, i had forgotten.
- there was an engagement party and the whole cong was invited.
- the fourth of six kids, and it was in a function room with no bar.. everyone was allowed one glass of wine and no one was allowed to bring any.
It was our own goodbye party for mom, dad, & me. Reason why we were moving was because I was 17 years old at the time, and a 32 yr old MS approached my parents and asked if he could put in an apartment when I turned 18, then evenually marry. That day when he asked my mom and dad (I was at a JW volley ball party) about it, my dad put the house up for sale.
Everyone knew at the goodbye party "why" we were moving, I did not do anything wrong, never kissed him, never slept with him, etc...but many people did not treat us the same, or me for that matter.
It was horrible, and scandelous actually, ha ha to it now thinking about it!

there is this girl at work who has been making it painfully obvious that she's interested, however i'm not interested in her.
so far i'm just acting as though i'm not seeing any of the "making of eyes", "any excuse to talk" or other general flirting.
ladies, how do i make her stop without being mean?
You could tell her "loose lips sink ships"
I would just tell her like it is, I am a women, no it does not make you "feel" good, but geez if shes secure enough, she will get over it. If she does not, then she will just keep making a fool of herself, its really all on her.
