being that i like the looks of the christmas lights and that i have had 20 years of not being able to set them up, i have already taken the step of setting up the christmas tree.
on it are huge amounts of lights--12 sets of c6 led bulbs (they come 60 to a set) plus a set of 70 miniature leds for the top region.
i ran out of c6 bulbs about halfway up the tree (not to worry, i have the other 6 sets on order and they should be arriving today).. there are some things to think about when setting up a holiday tree out of "season".
Mine is sitting ready in its box in the basement. I put it up mid-November last year but will probably wait til T'giving weekend this year. Or maybe not wait, depends.
Halloween first though!! Thinking of what to suggest the kids wear for Trick or Treating, checking out the decorations in the Hallmark store...
so, simply put, i am in love... and love makes a man do some really stupid things.... love makes a pretty damn intelligent man feel pretty damn stupid quite often as well... so here's my story... i have been dating this girl for almost a year now... she is beautiful, sweet, and really just everything i imagined in a life mate... she lives with me... she doesnt work, while i do full time, and also go to school... i make very good money, so that does not bother me... but heres where it all begins... a few months ago, she went to cuba with her sisters, and imoved her into my place while she was gone, her idea, not mine.. now we keep our condoms in a certain place.... anyways, her box of condoms was gone, with her... when she comes back, our little box of condoms is empty.... instead of asking her about it, i explained it to myself as she must have given them to her sister.... .
while i am gone at work, i usually give her a call on my breaks... i notice that she never answers the phone between 6-8 pm.. home or cell... her explanation is that she is always in the shower... the problem with that is that she is always coming out of the shower when i get home.... i get home at around nine... so either she is taking a 3 hour shower or she is taking two showers a night..... she disappears off the face of the earth everytime she goes home to visit her family... like shes not home, shes not answering her phone and only ever calls me when she is in her car....her explanation is that she is at a cousins house.. conveniently, one that i do not know..... last night she went to a wedding... it was over at 11, i know this because she had told me, nd a friend of mine tht was there said that it ended then,,, it was a dry wedding, no dancing... very religious people... i was supposed to meet her at 130 today, i got to the train station that she was coming to, 15 minutes early and waited over an hour there... finally as i decied to walk back home, she gives me a call... i will be home at 5, meet me at the train.... of course, i have been calling her since last night at 11 to tell her i would meet her at 130 as she had planned... i made brunch for her, which is now in the garbage... i was scared shitless she had been hit by a car or dead since her phone has been off since last night.... i asked her why she is so late, i was helping move things until 3am last night... bull shit.. all the gifts were given prior to the weding and the bride and groom had already moved into their new place.... i know because she has told me in the past.....her phone was dead according to her... but all of the sudden, she is able to use it.... no charger, but she can use it..... i did confront her once, and she exploded on me!!!!
like screamed and screamed and said she was insulted i even asked... textbook defensive behaviour right????.
Oh honey.... From the first paragraph of this I had cold chills on the back of my neck. All her actions fit such a pattern and a profile that it screams. I know you have the love glasses on, so you're not (or not WANTING to) see it as clearly as the rest of us probably do. I've gone through some of the same things, and know where it led. Follow your gut on this one... Follow it at least to the point of confirming what I think you suspect. Like someone else said -- come home early. During that 6-8pm "shower". Have a friend stop by your place to borrow a wrench or something to see who else is there. Install a key-logger (how I busted my ex). Check the cellphone records online and *67 the numbers you don't recognize or if you can get ahold of her phone, just re-scroll thru the calls list. Put a piece of lint in the bed and see if it's gone that night. (Ok, I'm bordering on psycho now, so I'll quit. lol)
I feel for you... Find your answers, as painful as it might be.
I think I'm being confusing or naturally blonde or something.... here's the deal. lol *I* am making a copy of *my* original from behind the literature counter WT CD 2005 for someone in the UK. Can I just copy/paste and burn the files to a blank CD and voila! Pirated version of WT CD? Or is there a 'language barrier' of some digital sort that I need a add-in file for him to use it?
(b) Download an illicit .iso file and simply burn it to a blank CD
Do I need to add this to the copy I'm making for it to work in the UK then?? Cuz what I'm doing is simply copying all the files from the WT CD to a blank, then burning, which has always worked when I pirate other stuff.
i had only one experience of being counseled by the elders, and it was in a tribunal thingy many years ago when i was 18 living at home with my 'presiding overseer' father.
my dad was overly upset imagining i was smoking pot!???
I was 32 years old when I consented to a JC. I took a tranquillizer and went. I was baffled and taken aback. The effect was that I walked away with the full understanding that I had been duped, that God was not in any of this nonsense, and the elders were a bunch of Society-men hypocrites.
Yeah, this pretty much sums up my experience. Only I was 37, had nothing on board (I wish I'd have thought of it though) and have not gone back at all... My JC was a foregone conclusion, but they mentally and emotionally tortured me for four hours. I was sent out twice, during which I was able to eavesdrop enough to realize that there was no way this was going to go well. But in actuality, it DID go well as it was the smack upside the head that I needed to realize this religion is a farce, run by power-tripping men and basically stoopid. And I was outta there, never going back.... Wrote my DA letter that night and was announced a week later. Sweet freedom.
So yes, my JC was totally life-changing. It got me out.
