We are right where his dad was. Leaving the witnesses after both being raised that way. It's nice to know that the bonds can be broken in that one generation and the kids can dream and find their faith also. Thanks for the link.

This is my first picture post. I see it doesn't enlarge when clicked on. If you want to see this larger, go to google images and type in "babies porcupine". It is an amazing picture.

That poor dog! I sat here with my mouth covered in horror! I had just seen this picture of the baby porcupines yesterday and what better thread to share it on? Please, don't anyone think I don't feel for this poor animal! Of course, these babies wouldn't stand a chance against him either!

the last mimsy was a little film, running just about an hour and a half.
it is truly a kids movie, but held my interest visually.
i think i would have been satisfied with viewing it on dvd.
We took the kids to it. I didn't really care for it, other than seeing how the guy from "The Office" did playing a different role. I was a little worried the kids would freak out about the stuffed animal "talking'. They have pretty good imaginations as it is, and they are really into their stuffed animals right now (ages 5 and 8), and I was hoping they wouldn't go home and be a little creeped out by it.
Of course they were fine. Mom is the one who is so protective. But mom is also the one who gets up with them in the middle of night if the need arrises (sp?). I was wondering if they will remember it as their version of E.T. that I recall from childhood. We'll see. Kids today get to see movies so much more in a year than we did our whole childhood! I wonder if they'll even remember it.
Hope you enjoyed a big bucket of popcorn like we did!

It says I am "Brainy".
However, I think "Sneezy" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fits better---My allergies are killing me right now! Ah-Choo!

well, since i da'd my parents have shunned me.
they have however replied to my emails inquiring as to their health and such.
every few months i send them an email telling them how i am and asking them how they are.
((((unique))))
I can understand. My mom just "officially" started shunning me on her own. She has known where I stand for a year, though not disassociated or disfellowshipped. (We moved). All of a sudden this January they come for a visit and she drops the bomb. Refuses to set foot in our house again or talk to us. She actually stayed in their motorhome for 2 days before my dad (non-jw) was ready to leave. That was horrible. I couldn't even go home to get away from it. SHE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!!!
She calls 2 months later, right after a car accident, not serious, but wrecked the back of vehicle. I pick up the phone and she acts like everything is normal. She says "Hi Hon. Dad and I were just in an accident. " She talks to me then and the next day to complain of her health. She is a chronic complainer and hypochondriac. She even talks of coming to our house on their way home to rest and recouperate. OK. I tell them they are always welcome.
Less than a week later, they are headed home and completely bypass us. I heard through the nonjw family they were headed straight home. I call dad's cell phone to see when to expect them. Mom answers. "Hello?" I say "Hi!" and she says "Oh. Here." and passes it to my dad (Non jw). WHAT? She completely snubs me and doesn't care anymore now that she doesn't need me. We never were close, but my goodness! I didn't even get a civil hello or anything.
I am sorry your health is affected. Mine is too. I am on anti-depressants. I hope the next time they take your BP you are in a peaceful state of mind and find everything is fine. This is such a rotten road to travel. If you want to chat, pm me, there are so many here in our situation and way worse. I hope the support you get here helps you.
I am glad you posted this. It helps hearing the stories of others and knowing I'm not alone.
I am going to try to send you a pm, I've never tried before.

and you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like ... .
1. a king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq.
ft. house 4 inches deep.. .
LOL! I was about to eat some popcorn as I started scrolling down. Thank goodness! I would have choked to death on it, I started laughing so hard at the pic of the 3 boys "watering" the plants!
SPARKPLUG: I figured you meant ANY of the stunts! I can see my little guy still trying some of these as he gets older. "Watering" the plants seems to be something most never outgrow!
Thanks for the cute thread purps! With a little guy in the house, it is even funnier! Because I know how true it is!!!!!

i received a call last night that my grandmother had a stroke.
my first thought was "finally".
i know how awful that sounds, but her health has been deteriorating for years.
(((((Para))))))
I am so sorry. I know how you feel. Relief and guilt all together.
When my grandpa was on his deathbed, there was no hope of recovery, it was just a waiting game. It was very hard on everyone involved and was torture just waiting for death to come. My first thought when my dad came in and said he was gone was relief. Happy for the relief of his pain and guilt that it was a relief to me to have the wait over. But I think I would not want to linger, and linger and linger. I would want to escape and have the pain and misery gone. He couldn't speak or anything at the end, just drugged up for pain and you know that didn't take care of it all. You are not alone in your feelings. The hardest thing to forgive is ourself. I hope you find comfort during this trial.
