  Do you mean the BE book (the maroon one whose title escapes me)? If you need a certain page of that, I can send it to you.

  BSoM -- thank you!! It's just perfect outside, too, to sit back and relax. I work in the lab, so my job involves... poking people with needles. lol I do love it though -- been in it since '91 and really can't think of anything I'd rather do. The hospital that I work at is small, so there really is a team feeling to taking care of our patients.

  Seahart -- yeah, nice word choice. Witness.. *shudder* Take care of yourself today, ok?

  but, it made me think.

  Did you have a Witness approved car?

  by free2beme in

  when i was a witness, i was told that a responsible witness purchased a car that was able to be used in field service.

  as an example, it would have four doors to allow easy entry for a car group of 4 to 6 people.

  it was something that was not to showy, meaning it was not a lexus or something that would make it seem that witnesses were materialistic, especially when working a poor part of the community.

  Um, that would be a big fat no. HELL no, even. I drive a jeep. A two-door (when they're on), topless (the JEEP!) blue piece of heaven that is my therapy. And I got hassled about it endlessly... "Sister, have you thought of getting something more "practical?"" "No, Brother Buick. Practical would be demonstrated when I have to pull your 4-door out of a snow-drift..."

  It still hurts. And it still sucks. And I still have days I want to whine and mope and get mad.

  
  Me too, BSoM... me too. That's when my brother or mom gets an earful on the phone or an eyeful on messenger, or my jeep gets reeeeallly dirty (or clean), or I get a great workout at the gym. It numbs the crap in my head and my heart and chases it a bit further away. It ain't easy, this escape. We can do it. :)

  pouring a glass for you and me (clinking glasses) - let's toast to MENTAL FREEDOM! this side is soooo much better to be on.....

  Adding my glass... Mental freedom is amazing. ~merfi
