  Who Are You?

  i have made repeated attempts to move on with my life despite your decision to plague my every thought and move.

  i cannot move forward.

  a change of venue, that of diet, even new clothes have afforded me a frivolous and temporary elevation of spirits.

  Thanks, Tara!

  Some people need a poke!

  Edited to add:

  Now I get it! I asked a question, viz., "WHO ARE YOU?", and you both replied. Takes so little to throw me off track!

  Thanks, punk and Tara.

  I appreciate your pithy posts; would you kindly explain. Your meaning is probably obvious, but I just awoke and the cobwebs have yet to clear.

  IT'S A STRANGE TWIST, somewhat for the better, but not a totally satisfying state of affairs.

  More and more of my family's younger members, raised as Witnesses, have left the organization (some very recently). On the one hand, I am grateful once again to be in contact with them. On the other hand, however, I feel bad for their still-in family who must grieve for their "lost" children.

  We all lose, somehow or another . . .

  Greetings, Pet Owners and Lovers:

  While I have no pets of my own, I do care for dogs and cats and have cared for bunnies and guinea pigs in the past. I'm working on an essay with an 11-year-old student, and the subject is symbiotic relationships and how humans learn from their close interaction with animals.

  Here is a portion of the reference material under study:

  "Pets teach us more about love than any person or thing. We understand
  

  the true nature of unconditional love without expectations. The true
  

  nature of forgiveness is forgetting and letting go of grudges. We
  

  learn uninhibited, unreserved affection by giving our full attention.
  

  Understanding love is a feeling and doesn’t require words. Love is
  

  felt in the heart by making eye connection, being in someone’s
  

  presence and through physical touch."

  dear mouthy and other denounced ones,.

  you may find this double standard $%^@#@*&!

  "in 1975, knorr made a remarkable and candid statement to the governing body, which confirmed his growing disillusionment until his death two years later: ["]'"there are some things i know --- i know that jehovah is god, that christ jesus is his son, that he gave his life as a ransom for us, that there is a resurrection.

  Hey, CoCo, l hear Errol Flynn aged suddenly with all that wild high life. Watch out! -- humbled

  You're right, humbled. I saw an image of him at 50 years old, just before he died, dissipated and worn out. I wondered how "I" got into that photo!

  greetings, fellow lexophiles:.

  last night, i watched a cool road movie, the trip, with steve coogan and rob brydon.

  they were counseled by steve's dad to take an "anticlockwise" route home, rather than the clockwise one steve had proposed.

  Here's a word I like: butterfly. It sounds quite nice as it is but if you switch the initial sounds you get 'flutter-by'. -- LUHE

  How about the French equivalent for butterfly: papillon

  Mouthy was disfellowshipped over the 1914 issue; please read the following comment from Grace and see link from 11 years ago:
  

  Raises my hand!!!!I am here!!!!
  

  Well the bunch of creeps...I never knew that COCo....I wonder if that is why they came a few years ago to see if I wanted to be reinstated???
  

  How could they sleep nights after throwing me out & many others because we said we just couldnt accept that. ????? Oh what a way to start the NEW YEAR!!!!! To know they have my daughter &-Grand-child in bondage & shunning me -because they didnt want all to know they had goofed AGAIN.

  Off with their heads.....
