employees of best buys have been warned they'll be fired if they say "merry christmas' to customers according to bill o'reily,but the chain denies this.

anyone have more info?

I think "happy holidays" is encouraged in most retail outlets and this isn't anything new. It's to include the people who celebrate Chanukah and Kwanza.

DOES ANYONE STILL NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS???

just wondering if anyone still does not celebrate xmas since leaving jws.....or like me do you think"to hell with it", and join in the festivities.

if you do celebrate it, do you still have pangs of guilt for celebrating this "pagan" festival???.

chukky.

I think it makes a big difference if you have small children. We celebrate because we love seeing the the excitement on our kids faces. If we didn't have kids, we probably wouldn't celebrate it.

Don't Quite Know What To Make of This

i had my kids last weekend, and they seemed hapy, and content.

i called a couple of times earlier this week as usual, to see how they are doing, and got the answering machine.

no mystery there.

i followed the recipe.

mine did not melt in anyones mouth.

Also: Don't freeze it. A frozen and then thawed brisket is never as tennder as one that has never been frozen. Good luck!!!

i find myself just going off way to easy recently, and i find that i'm going into my shell a lot.

i was just wondering how you guys have dealt with it if you have ?

You are not a psychopath my friend your are having temporary mental distress
Best regards~Danny

Bingo! You may need something like Wellbutron to get you over the hump. I know that we are an overmedicated society, but leaving the borg is such a stressful life-changing event, you may need a little help. Good luck to you. Swam

"happy families" - NOT!!!

hi all.. this is my first post, although i have been an avid reader for quite some time now.

please bear with me if i seem long winded.

(i have no one else to talk to, and my husband says i talk to him too much!

Swamboozled

Welcome! We make a new family when we marry and have children and they are most important. It sounds to me like you have your head screwed on straight, a great husband, and five wonderful children. I would enjoy them and forget the rest. I know it's hard, but they sound destructive and you wouldn't want their disfunction rubbing off on your kids.

Glad to have you!

obviously that's not always the case.

i'm curious about whose pic is really them.
