  it's really great to be back on here, i've missed you all so much.

  i'm home for the weekend, and feeling a lot better than i was earlier in the week.

  i picked up an infection and felt really awful for a day or two, but it's ok now.

  my mom passed away yesterday.

  she was a die-hard jw.

  i tried to explain why i couldn't accept certain teachings but rather than rationally consider what i had to say she chose to believe i was just "confused".

  Manchester UK to Oxford (Assistance Please)

  if you have knowledge about travel in the uk, i'd appreciate your assistance.. i need to get from the manchester airport to oxford.

  when i look at the train website (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/index.html) i see there are trains that run frequently and seem to be inexpensive enough.. is that the best way to travel?

  i don't want to rent a car.

  Hi i don't know how soon you need the tickets for, but i just rang hubby as he works on the trains. He says you can ask for the Virgin Value tickets, as early as you can as the earlier you book them the cheaper it is, as they only have a limited number at the cheaper prices. You can do this through Virgin or the national rail enquiries he believes. The only thing is that you have to stick to the specified trains, you can't use them on another train say, if you missed the first one .Hope that is of some use. www.virgintrains.com

  Welcome Whimsy!!

  i was df'd a few years ago and reinstated within 6 months (i was apparently very 'fortunate' aka lucky), but i've been fading ever since really.

  i think i really only got reinstated because i missed my family and friends... it's hard when you were raised in the truth and don't know a soul in the world.

  i keep moving, so it's pretty easy to remain anonymous at the hall.

  hey there, im kinda looking for some guidance here, i had a very close friend, she was actually one of my bridesmaids at my wedding, she's a little messed up but never the less we had a good friendship until i told her i was pregnant....!

  it was no secret i was trying we had told everyone that we wanted to start trying after our wedding, but anyway when i told her her response was " oh, ok congratulations" and that was it, for the 9 months i was pregnant i reckon she asked me twice if i was ok and how it was going, all her text msg were about her and what was happening in her life.

  she has come no where near us since i have had kaia, she hasnt seen her once and kaia is coming up to 6 months old.

  yes they gave me the courage to leave thank you ! I was very angry at first because i have to see them everyday in the classroom and they are all there in their little group and it used to eat me up and make me mad and intimidated,and very upset but i've recently come to calm down and try not to get upset and look at what i have got, so much more than they have, and at least when i'm 80 i won't look back on life and still be wondering when armageddons coming!

  Hi Es

  My friend has a cousin who she is very close to, however she has a phobia about pregnant women and babies!So as soon as my friend told her she was pregnant she didn't see her until after the birth. It definitely seems that there's something deeper here though, and perhaps she hasn't mentioned you being involved in the wedding again because she's guilty over the way she's been acting and can't face telling you? Sometimes even our best friendships can die away as we get older and follow different paths, but it sounds like you've done all you can do without actually phoning her up for an explanation, which she may not give you anyway. I would feel awkward going to the wedding as well, just do whatever you think would make you feel better about the situation, if you can't face going then don't put yourself through it. You've got a great family and lots of other mates i'm sure., so you could just leave it for now and wait and see if/when she contacts you. Hugs to you Es, you've got such a lovely smile on all your photos you post i don't like thinking of you being sad! Debbiex
