this is one of the sadest days in my life, my beloved husband marco passed away this morning at 5:15 am.. it has been a dreadful day.

but my dear friend was with most of the day while we went togerther to make funeral arrangements.. that was really hard on me.

i have done nothing but cry and cry all day, i finally fell asleep a few hours ago while my friend diane was here and she let me sleep.

which celebrity death....?

just heard about the death of joel siegel, the entertainment critic for abc, and found myself, surprisingly, in tears.

maybe it was because he had such a young son and made plans to let him know how much he was loved, long before he died.

maybe because i have watched him for so many years.

is being in love with your spouse a decision or an emotion? when to divorc

by sosad in

i would like some advice from any of you that have been there - a good friend of mine had an affair years ago, ended up working with the same guy and is now in love with her boyfriend instead of her husband ( several kids involved) the affair is now not a physical one but there is no doubt they are dating.

i wish i was unaware but i am - she says she has picked her family over the boyfriend but he is like a bumble bee around her- walking her dog past her house etc the boyfriend is older, married and has always been a tomcat - now he is truly in love and will wait.

i have told her it is going to blow up - and i know it is her deal to figure out - but i am from the happily married class and am at a loss.

Egypt Outlaws all Female Circumcision

by Rabbit in

egypt has somewhat joined civilization.

with all the misogynistic practises in the middle east already, taking away a woman's right to actually enjoy sexual relations, is barbaric and pitiful.

their 'lot' in life in one (1) more country just got a little better.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaa!!! It's about time!

Another news story today on abuse settlements...

by flipper in

a friend of mr f heard a story on kfbk sacramento radio news a little after 8 this am...3 people in woodland ca received their settlement money, and 7,000 others have come forward with accusations.

i can't find it anywhere - does anyone know about this?

danny?

With the gag order, though, how much of a story can they make of it?

The gag order pertains to these specific settled cases only. They can pull in claims of other individuals still. My personal preference would be to see them expand the focus to tie in sexual abuse toward JW wives as well, pointing up how pervasive the problem of sexual abuse among JW's really is.

Just finished seeing Michael Moore's SiCKO

by Jourles in

i just got home from bellaire, mi where the first us premiere screeing of sicko took place.

mm has shown the film to a few private groups, but he specifically said that we were the first "paying group" to see it.

there were two showings - i got to see the first showing at 1:00.. first let me say that this film is not political in any way.

Jourles------------ Very well stated...thank you for writing this!

Purps, I thought the above [segment from the site] was funny, too, but found a number of the shorter joke items on the site even funnier. The first few may be old hat, but some others on the list really get my funny bone!

I'm curious...who is morrisamb, and how come I can't see any info about his number of postings, etc.? Everybody's else's posts show that [and whether they're "Jedi," "Newbie," etc.].
