i can easily live without my mobile telephone - never use it at the moment and i rarely do.. i couldn't live without my pc because of all the things i can do on it including (when i have internet) jwd .
Thus far my life has shown me I can live without (and with) just about anything...but I would have a very hard time wanting to live without my daughter

while i was in new york i walked by two men and one looked like the comedian jackie mason whom i adore.
i looked at him and said, "i just wanted to say how much i enjoy your shows.
i've seen you perform a number of times".
I envy you inbyathread! I absolutely adored Festus when i was little
I sat at a table next to the one where Bill and Melinda Gates were eating at LeoMelina's in Seattle. Mmmm the food there was good
In between sets at a small college bar, Buck Dharma gave me a little pat as he walked by and said, "I like Ren & Stimpy too." LOL I was wearing a R&S t-shirt.
That's about it for this Idaho girl. I still hope to get tijkmo's autograph some day.

Not sure...something like this?
Kucinich Leads Presidential Hopefuls on Health Care for All
Only Kucinich and former US Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) have offered comprehensive plans, whereas Clinton and Obama haven’t offered more than vague ideas so far, Atlanta Progressive News has learned. APN focuses on Clinton, Edwards, Kucinich, and Obama in this article.
Edwards offers a complete, but complex universal health care proposal, which advocates say doesn’t do enough to cut insurance industry profits out of the equation.
In the 2004 race, by contrast, there were three candidates–Kucinich, Carol Moseley Braun, and Al Sharpton–endorsing single payer plans.
KUCINICH: SINGLE-PAYER UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PLAN
"When people tell me that national health insurance is the right answer but is not politically feasible, I tell them that the opposite is true," Kucinich wrote in a statement on healthcare-now.org. "Passage is inevitable - it is only a matter of time."
Kucinich is also for the second year now a co-sponsor of HR 676 in Congress, a bill sponsored by US Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), to enact single-payer universal health care nationwide. The bill number is the same in the 110th Session as it was in the 109th.
The bill had 79 total cosponsors but failed to get out of Committee in the 109th Session, with new cosponsors joining on each month. Georgia’s US Reps. Sanford Bishop (D-GA) [a centrist], John Lewis (D-GA), and Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) were all co-sponsors.
Here’s how HR 676 works: The bill would expand the existing Medicare program so that every person living in the United States and U.S. territories could receive publicly financed, privately delivered health care. Each person would receive a United States National Health Insurance Card with ID number.
Services include inpatient and outpatient care, emergency care, prescription drugs, durable medical equipment, long-term care, mental health services, dentistry, eye care, chiropractic, and substance abuse treatment.
Under this act, there will be no co-pays or deductibles. Everyone has their choice of physicians, providers, hospitals, clinics, and practices.
To fund the system, the act would repeal the Bush tax cuts for the highest income earners and establish a 5 percent health tax on the top 5 percent of income earners, a 10 percent tax on the top 1 percent of income earners, and a one-third of 1 percent transaction tax.
There would also be an employer and employee payroll tax of 4.75. Federal and state funding rates for existing health programs would remain unchanged.
as many of you know, i've been writing letters to family members telling them how damn stupid i think the gb is; providing proofs of all their comedic gaffs (building mansions for prophets and the like) including some of their most outlandish quotes-which i know all of us can remember verbatim.
spurned on by mary and others in this site, i've decided that i will try a new ploy.
my family reunion is every labor day and i've decided to wear a tee shirt to it with russell, rutherford, and franz's images on it... i will include images of a pyramid, beth sarim, on the front and 607?
...a few ideas from a while back...

anybody remember that stinking comment in a 1950s witchtower, .
"it is difficult for the holy spirit to influence those with a colorful personality".
i guess they really mean it is harder for the babble and trick society to control them.. hb.
"...it is difficult for the holy spirit to influence those with a colorful personality"Could this have been actually an indirect reference to JUDGE RUTHERFORD?
If anyone in the Watchtower had a "colorful personality", it would certainly have been him!
He was definitely under the "influence" and "saturated" with something. Did the later leaders of the org often try to steer members away from Rutherfordian influence in the decade or two after his death? Just curious.
And I wonder if it was just this sort of teaching that made my mother worry so much about my "artistic personality."

In Semitic, the letter Yôdh was probably originally a pictogram for an arm with hand, derived from a similar hieroglyph that had the value of a voiced pharyngeal fricative ( /?/ ) in Egyptian, but was reassigned to /j/ (as in English "yoke") by Semites, because their word for "arm" began with that sound. This letter could also be used for the vowel sound /i/ , mainly in foreign words.
The Greeks adopted a form of this Phoenician yodh as their letter iota (?, ?). It stood for the vowel /i/ , the same as in the Old Italic alphabet. In Latin (as in Modern Greek), it was also used for the consonant sound of /j/ . The modern letter J was originally a variation of this letter, and both were interchangeably used for both the vowel and the consonant, only coming to be differentiated in the 16th century.
