has anyone noticed christmas music being played 'early' on radio and some shopping malls?

I work in retail and all our Christmas stock starts coming into store at the end of September, Christmas decs have been up for ages in John Lewis where I work.
And for the record, the Christmas shoppers are out in force and we are taking thousands of pounds every day on the Clarins counter that I work on.
As for Christmas music, I haven't heard any yet.
i am due my baby in 2 days time (friday 9th nov).. i have no idea what its going to be, and i dont have any inklings, so the field is wide open.
heres some detail to help you, and remember no babies will be hurt in the making of these bets!
last baby was a girl 10 years ago, but i had a really strong feeling it was going to be a girl.
OMG I had wondered where you had got to and what you were doing since the apostacurry.
Little did I know that you had been doing the wild thang and getting yourself with child. A million congrats.
Hope the baby comes before you're induced, I'm guessing the 18th at 4pm, definitely a girl weighing 8lb 6oz.
Also hope your labour is quick and pain free, and that the baby has 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head, 10 fingers, 10 toes and everything in it's rightfull place.
Good luck. XXXX
i can say that i don't thinki ever really looked forward to going to a 2 hour meeting or a 2 hour ride around in the "ministry.
I only enjoyed the meetings if we had a really good speaker, and let's face it they are very few and far between in the org.
this brings up a mystery.
there is a long-standing myth about blondes being so dumb.
then, why don't more of them become jehovah's witlesses?
I never really thought about it before but you are right.
All the blondes I knew were all raised in the truth, and all the converts were brunettes.
Blondes not as dumb as the stereotype goes then!
newboy started a wonderful topic about jw fathers, but thinking back my mother had more power.
her entire family was jw's and had amazng influence through the years, including over my elder father.. her own mother was a convert during rutherford's early years out of the 7th day adventist religion.
my mom and her brothers and sisters were some of the ones that wore the plackards that religion was a snare and a racket.
Very powerful. She kept me in the borg for 35 years. I wanted to get out from about the age of 15, so that's 20 years of my life spent against my will as a JW, mainly because of my 'o so strong in the truth' mother.
funny how life can be.. you chase your dreams, mean well, do your best to live large, and twist life bu the nipples; but there's only so many hours in a day, only so many days in a week, and only 365.25 days in a year.. i realize i'm swamped.
i find myself rolling around like a big fat chicken on wheels that has been separated from his head quite suddenly.. i think i have become the victim of my own success.. the more you have, the more maintenance and upkeep you have to procrastinate.. i'm only a man, i can only avoid so much work!.
barely got the boat winterized before the cold, evil fingers of minnesnowta's dominant season could work their frigid havoc, boy, i am starting to wonder if i am really 'boat people.
I have a loft full of crap that might 'come in handy one day'.
I'll join you in the clear out.
In the Spring I'll hire a skip and chuck it out.

the dude used to crack me up in high school.
Very humourous.

Does slide guitar only exist in the USA?
I've never heard of any of these people.
are you my bowes rd buddy?.

Yeah I got dunked there in 1985. I was baptised with my cousin and a close friend. Of the 3 of us, 2 are now disfellowshipped. My cousin is a regular pioneer in Cyprus, married to an elder. My close friend and I are both happily divorced and disfellowshipped.
The picture of Bowes Road brings back memories. Do you remember the good old days of the hot lunches? And you could only go in to the restaurant when it was your 'sitting'.
i go into the blood mobil today as i usually do every 8 weeks.
they ask me a gezillion questions like have i had sex with a prostitute and etc.
i answer no as usual.
I have given blood twice now, we have to wait 16 weeks between donations in the UK.
The first time the needle hurt a little going in, but the second time was fine. However, when you give blood for the first time they make you stay lying down for about 5-10 mins after donating. On my second go I was allowed to get up straight away. I had weird pins and needles in the arm and hand that they had taken the blood from, so I told the nurse and she told me to keep wiggling my fingers for a bit. The pins and needles stopped but then I came over really light headed and thought I was going to pass out. I told the nurse and she called for help and about 5 nurses came running over, it was so embarrassing. They layed me down and put a cold flannel on my head and I was ok in about 5 mins. The nurse told me that she could tell I was going to faint because all my colour had gone from my face. I had wondered why she kept hovering near me and asking me if I was ok.
Anyway, I'm still allowed to donate but I have to tell them next time about what happened and they will let me lie down for a bit so it doesn't recur.
I am such a drama queen, eh!
