No, Lois, they were very serious. Fortunately I was eating my spring rolls and didn't have to say much.
Well, 3rdgen, I think I have the weirdest neighbors possible, at least in the woowoo world. At least they are not as crazy as the religious right.

Rode over to the farmer's market with a couple of neighbors, nice women, seem sensible. The driver stopped in the middle of a block and stared at the coca-cola truck that was parked there. She said, "do you see the round tower? They're all over Europe but I've only ever seen two in the U.S. One in the south and one in Arizona." Then she drove on. Well, I didn't see anything except the coke truck, so I asked her about it. She said the gypsies build them, they use them to escape when someone is chasing them. They step through the door of the tower and enter another dimension. Then no one can find them. She has never tried it, she likes this dimension well enough, thank you. She'd like to be sure of where she was going to come out before going through the door. Oh, by the way, the governments in Europe have banded together to destroy these towers wherever they find them, to prevent gypsies from escaping justice.
I just said, "how interesting." It's a reminder that our little town is full of sensible-looking people who believe in Telos and Lemurians and spirit guides and chemtrails, and now -- gypsy towers that are gateways to another dimension.
I'm surrounded! Today I said I wished we had an atheist group in town. Unfortunately, you can't herd atheists into a group. It's like herding cats. They are too diverse. So those of us who are, why we just look at each other during conversations like this and raise an eyebrow.
I got some tomatillos and butternut squash at the farmer's market, in case you were wondering. I ate some Vietnamese spring rolls, and bought some local starflower honey.

Getting Stuck on the Idea of Closure
by OnTheWayOut ini may be suffering twice for having left the jehovah's witnesses and watching my jw wife and other family members stay in.
once for the changed situation (or loss) and another time for expecting to make progress in getting over it.. the 1969 book on death and dying by elisabeth kubler-ross introduced us to the kubler-ross model , commonly referred to as the " five stages of grief.
" they are very helpful, but the original idea of the book and the hypothesis was that when a person is faced with the reality of impending death , he or she will experience a series of emotional stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.. it isn't always the case, but those stages are often felt by terminally ill patients.

I don't think you can really get closure when you're still living in the situation -- wife a JW and you not a JW. I guess you learn to cope with it but that's not the same as closure.

Life can be awful, shit happens. Once you realize that this life is finite, you start to find out how you can make the most of it. It isn't the grand things that make life good, it's enjoying small things. I'm never going to be rich and travel around the world, but there are a lot of good things right here to enjoy. Look around, find something you really enjoy.

Do you make your own soup?
by compound complex ingreetings, soup lovers:.
i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.
i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.

Glad to see this thread again. I recently accidently made some awesome tomato soup. I was making tomato sauce to can, and it was too bland. So I added 1 tablespoon each of salt and sugar to 8 cups of tomato puree. Then I poured in a pint of salsa I had made recently, kind of chunky. I tasted it, and it was so good I ate a bowlful. Canned it as tomato soup instead of tomato sauce. I've made more since then - 8 cups of pureed tomatoes, plus 4 cups of peeled-seeded-diced tomato pieces, 1 tablespoon each salt and sugar, 1/4 cup minced jalapeno, 1/4 cup minced onion, some cilantro, lime juice, a pinch of dried oregano and 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar. Yum.
