  i am 48 female married 30 yrs to same man, very moral, no drugs no alcohol no smokes..just common plain jane here..since i dont believe does this make me bad association..if it does i laugh in your face...now having said that and getting past this, sounds like so many here are disgruntled..if so why do you stay?

  C.O. is in town, the harassment begins...

  i haven't been to meetings in a long time (trying to fade).

  ever so often i do run into a witness or 2 who are friendly, but reserved (after all i am considered in active).

  anyway, my hubby & i are currently working on a letter to send to the society that will more then likely get us df'd or disassociated (same thing i guess).

  It seems like it's time for a nice little drive... outta town... far outta town, this weekend. That way you're doing things on your terms and not theirs. Keep truckin'; you're on the right path.

  Three Stooges. They still come on the weekends but only for an hour of Sat and Sunday. I'd love to have every episode. I would watch them with my kids. They used to be the first thing on. My brother and I would watch the Test Pattern or Indian Head until they came on.

  An old man once told me, though gruesome, if taken metaphorically it works for me.
  
  A friend is someone that will help you move; A good friend is someone that will help you move... a body. Sounds about right.

  Before the kid in my avatar? My wife and I both worked 60-80. Now, thanks to all that work in Corporate America, I work... uh... I'd say, Zero! I get to hang out with my kid all day and we watch Sponge Bob, or play or eat or sleep. It's awesome! Her little brother's due date is Saturday. I'll tell you if it's still awesome in about 6 months.

  I read this whole Awake and in particular the articles/propaganda of which you write while in my Doctor's office today. I was utterly disgusted.
  
  I really like how the last few pages are spent lauding the knowledge of degreed "scientists", yet the young Jehobees of today are taught to not consider this same educational path.

  Liar by Rollins Band I think that it tells the story of the JDubs quite well.

  You think youre going to live your life alone
  In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
  Youve been out there and tried to mix with those animals
  And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
  So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
  But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
  And now youre desperate and in need of human contact
  And then you meet me and yur whole world changes
  Because everything I say is everything youve ever wanted to hear
  So you drop all you defenses, Im perfect in every way
  cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
  You feel so lucky
  But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
  Wonder why things are going so well
  You want to know why?
  
  cause Im a liar, yeah, Im a liar
  Ill tear (rip) your mind up, Ill burn your soul
  Ill turn you into me, Ill turn you into me
  cause Im a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...
  
  Ill hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
  And Ill tell you things that you already know so you can say:
  I really identify with you, so much
  And all the time that youre needing me is just the time
  That Im bleeding you, dont you get it yet?
  Ill come to you like an affliction then Ill leave you like an addiction
  Youll never forget me... wou wanna know why?
  
  I dont know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
  Maybe its something inside, maybe its something I cant explain
  cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
  Im a liar, ooh, Im a liar
  But if youll give me another chance I swear Ill never lie to you again
  cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
  Theyre stronger than truth
  I cat believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
  Please, just give me more chance, Ill never lie to you again, no,
  I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!
  
  I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
  I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
  I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
  Im a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
  I like it again and Ill keep lying, Ill promise

  I hope they catch them before they kill some dude's family. I'd hate to see the poor dude go to jail for killing the drunk driver with his bare hands.
