i am still watching this documentary .
the phelps family are described as "the most hated family in america" .. why does so much of what they say sound so horribly familiar?
that is scary ... why does what they say in public sound very much like what dubs say among themselves in private.
slightly related, Crumples? Wrong forum honey...
It was very interesting, if only to reinforce the knwledge that the majority of people will continue to believe into adulthod whatever nonsense they've been indoctrinated with as a kid. That was the scary bit.

i got to wondering how you feel things have improved or not on a personal basis for you compared to last year.
have you got further in any goals you have set for yourself?
are you happier/less happier etc?
So, come on then Crumples,
Let's have your answers then!

Here we go Crumples,
Mentally: Span of attention is slowly increasing again. Beginning to look outwards again. - 7
Financially: Just about holding my head above water following huge re-mortgage to make a settlement to my wife - 5
Emotionally: A lot better than I was at the beginning of the year (or indeed even a few weeks ago) - 7
Sexually: Hah! - 0 (but a lot of online flirting going on these days)
Friendships: Not only only online, but actually mixing with real people too! - 8
Family relationships: Same. Suffering from mild DMS (Disparaging Mother Syndrome), but have a cool brother. - 8
Work/Occupation/Education: Much better! New job, new responsibilities, new interests. - 9

so i have been tooling about dallas doing some work on the weekend.
here are a few things our apostafest friends have to look forward to (perhaps) when in town.
this is some of the local fun and flowers happening and i hope you enjoy.
Love the last one particularly!
Those enfolding black/white trees really focus one's attention on the couple. Very nice indeed!
Without checking, I think The Kiss was staged and shot in New York but I could well be wrong......

i have been inactive for about 3-4 years they want to meet with me(sure took them a long time) i'm not to sure what angle to go with.
i definitively do not believe in the borg.
any more but not too sure about the bible( still searching ).
Don't go.
They'll have you on their playing field if you do, and anything you do will only re-inforce their preconceptions.

well where do i start as of the 21st of april 2007 i will have a step mum 2 step sisters and a step brother, and i think even a few step neices and nephews.. i will only ever see them officially on this wonderful happy one day that my dad gets married.
oh great joy !
other than this time i will never have anything to do with them.. now when i got the phone call to say that this wonderful event was happening it came to me that after the words that my dad had spoken to me only last week stating that he had been told by the elders that his is to limit his contact with his df children or he will be facing df himself.. when i go to this wedding i will be saying congrats to my dad and i will be sitting in the front row and will have lots to do with him as i'd say this will be last time i will ever have contact with him.
Helen,
I'm so sorry that all this nonsense is happening to you.
Stay close to your Dad on the day, hold his hand and tell him that you love him every chance you get. Act with dignity and don't make a scene.
Tell him simply that you'll always be there for him if he needs you, but that he'll have to accept you for who you are - his daughter.
tim (slighly related)
so i've been officially single for just over a week now.
mr c laughed fondly when i asked him in barcelona if he missed me yet and wanted me back.
so how soon is too soon to get back into the dating scene?
Crumples,
Only you can know when the the time is right, sweetheart.
Some seem to be able to springboard from one partner to another, whilst others need time to regroup in between.
It's up to you.
tim x.
Crumples,
I'm a bloke. I'm a nice person.
The two aren't mutually exclusive BTW.

a child died in the past week of a tooth that got infected.
on his school bus coming home from school.
another child died from an infection that started from a tooth.......the mother needed $80 to get the tooth pulled.
Purps,
No consolation maybe, but it's the same this side of the Atlantic.
Although everyone is entitled to free health and dental care here, our health service is dead on its feet. Those who haven't got company-sponsored private health plans are really going to suffer in the years to come.
Dentists are leaving the NHS in droves as funding gets lower and lower, and it's the kids on welfare who will pay the price eventually.
