  there is no road in the desert, yet you chance upon my friendless camp.. was it stars that led you to me or two yearning hearts become conjoined?.

  i envision a most lovely you, but you're just a dream of what i once knew.. remote i remain in my desert abode while stars and your spirit sail on by..

  I appreciate your comments, humbled!

  Likewise, my surprise. Nicole Kidman did a remarkable job of portraying the extraordinary woman, Gertrude Bell, who was subject to no one. Unique she was in having garnered respect and affection from the Bedouins and other denizens of the desert.

  Her feats are legend, which include foreseeing both Faisal and Abdullah as monarchs.

  Despite mixed reviews, the film, Queen of the Desert, is a feast for the eyes and ears (an unbelievably rich and sonorous soundtrack).

  i really do have to get to work, but i needed to tell you that i had an early-morning appointment, which i was late for.

  i woke up past my due time.

  without really thinking through my dire straits, i hired eddie murphy to drive me there.

  Thanks, humbled!

  You're correct. I'm reading a biography on John Steinbeck. His life was turned upside down when he got read (after many, many rejection slips from pubs).

  Dunno if he was blue or just bewildered. He was said to run from fans.

  Find Family Happiness ... NOT!

  the other day my wife and i were in sonoma.

  we were just walking around enjoying the pleasant afternoon in the quaint, old downtown area when i saw two jw women standing by their “witnessing cart.” .

  normally, i just ignore them whenever i see jws standing by a cart, but i gotta admit it: this time it really bugged me because of the title on the cart: find family happiness.

  This has been happening with some frequency for several of us. I had multiple posts on clouds.

  Greetings:

  I really do have to get to work, but I needed to tell you that I had an early-morning appointment, which I was late for. I woke up past my due time. Without really thinking through my dire straits, I hired Eddie Murphy to drive me there. My DELL had caught on fire, so I was unable to message my client. My driver got us lost in some roadless tract of farmland. A women zoomed by in a Red Ryder and tipped it. I wished her well and took the wagon. My left knee lay inside; then, with my right foot, I pushed off and shredded, shredded the pavement (or was it tilled earth?) . . .

  I finally woke up from my dream and looked at the clock. I had plenty of time to get ready for my appointment. I sent a message to my client on my fully functioning DELL.

  Not all dreams are JW-related. Someday, I'll meet Eddie Murphy and ask him to get GPS. He really had me stressed out.

  Thanks, sparrowdown, for your reply!

  We are led. with or without our consent.

  I haven't read the book, but in the movie Ms. Bell grieves over a lost love, then, subsequently, yearns for the physical presence of the absent new man in her life.

  Sadly, she lost them both.

  there are many terms used at bethel that might sound foreign to normal people.

  there are many words or terms used at bethel that are unique only to their organization.

  here are just a few of them.. “a jack” this is someone who is a slacker or just lazy.. “a pot licker” this term has been used for many years but its connotation is unclear.

  Yes, Morpheus:

  I recall Dan had been in writing, and then I saw him sweating away in the bindery. The talk was he had been shafted.

  I knew Marina before they married.

  I remember Dan Sydlik and Ed Dunlap got shafted. Saw Dan working in the bindery. Read about Ed years later.
