i was a regular taxi for alot of people.. we (wife & family) pick up one sister and her 2 children for many years ...he husband had walked out on her and we did'nt mind.. however when we were asked by the cobe wife to pick up and elderly and infermed bro a 3 day assembly (we had 3 young children) i said no.. we pased her and her daughter traviling alone to the assembly.. .
As a guilt-ridden, recently reproved, 20-something single guy trying to really "make the truth my own", I was assigned by the elders to pick up an elderly brother from a urine-reeking nursing home every other meeting. He had no family. He was always very appreciative.
It was a very good experience for both of us. Seriously.

i'm rooting for three riders this year.
2 have a very realistic chance.
Just got home and haven't had a chance to watch any of the last 3 stages.
Was the "most difficult" stage of the Tour a good view, 3 days (?) ago?

Thanks josie. If we ever decide to leave the dark side of the Force (PCs) I'll keep that in mind.
rather be in hades: Thanks for your specifics. I've read one comment somewhere that Skype is really good at linking up various computers regardless of make or configuation (provided they're not TOO old and slow).

ending a sentence in a proposition can get a guy slapped a who bunch of times.. conjugating stuff should only be done in a proper marriage.. a split infinity leads to babies.. gerunds are little animals certain movie stars put in places where the sun don't shine.. transitive refers to people who live under bridges.. intransitive refers to people who live in houses.. double life imprisonment is a compound sentence for really bad guys.. a compound/complex sentence is almost the same thing, but the judge was on drugs and didn't have a clue when he issued it.. parsing a sentence should only be performed by people who don't have a clue what they are doing.. an example of a propositional phrase is "hey babe!
your place or mine?".
alliteration is what happens when a whole bunch of people toss garbage out of their car windows on the highway.. punctuation is what every 14 year old boy wants to do to every 14 year old girl and every other female on the planet for that matter.. using a semi-colon in a sentence is the same thing as using a period, except it isn't.. using a colon is something best done in private.. most people, use commas, way too much, and this, should be, avoided, however.. exclamation marks should be used sparingly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Apologies to JeffT for repeating the Winston Churchill quote.

last saturday i was home with my wife,having a leisurely brekky pottering around in the kitchen ,then i noticed her standing still pondering ,what`s up i asked , wife :i thought i heard someone knocking ,i looked out the window to see two middle aged guys exciting my front drive.why didn`t you tell me they were their,i didn`t hear them.
i would have engaged them in conversation , but my wife doesn`t think i ought to,just let it go ,is her motto.. but my point is : i`m not deaf , and i didn`t hear them at the door , we were both in the front room ,my wife only thought she heard someone at the door only to be proved right observing them leaving i was in my pj`s and dressing gown so was not going to pursue them.
we have been living here nearly 5 years now and i can honestly say they have never been on our doorstep more than 4 times if that , i personally have only encountered them 3 times at the most.
I was talking to a still-in JW who was assigned to give a recent SM part on "Making the Best Use of Your Time in the Ministry" (or something like that).
This guy CAN'T STAND Field Service and has been fairly vocal about it over the years. So vocal, in fact, that I can't believe he's (1) still a servant and (2) irony of ironies, was actually assigned to handle this part.
Well, he swallowed the pill and did the part, but he said he soft-pedaled it big time. (Hee hee). In fact, towards the end of the part he threw in his own $.02 and said something like: "Now, brothers and sisters, as we think about these various SUGGESTIONS on how we might use our time more wisely, we should only be looking at ourselves. We should NOT try to impose any of these ideas on our fellow brothers and sisters."
From how he describes his "ministry", he starts his time when he leaves his own house for the meeting for FS and stops it when he gets back home. 3 hours counted, maybe 3 doors actually knocked on.
