  i have lunch monthly with my only friend left in the borg.

  today was the day, so i have been reading the threads on planting seeds and asking questions in preparation.

  we talked for about two hours.

  congratulations for being authentic and honest. Your friend will have to deal with it one way or another, but she knows where you stand.

  as a born in jw my outlet was always music.

  my parents let me do piano lessons (from another sister) and when i was 14 i lobbied hard enough for a guitar.

  i formed a decent punk/emo type in high school behind my parents back.

  I think the idea of building up your business so you can sell it is a good one. Make it a goal. At the same time, buy that guitar and start playing. Find some folks to play music with, let your hair down and have fun after work and on weekends. Then when you sell your business, you will have some money to live on for a while, and you can throw yourself into your music wholeheartedly.

  did you ever have one of those days?

  a day when you just have to have a taco?

  and you have to go home and make it yourself because there is no taco like a home-made taco?

  i'm running low on salsa, too, so i went to the market and stocked up on tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, cilantro.

  It's late. I have a pot of salsa cooking on the stove. Damn, it smells good. Will make about 8 pints when I can it tomorrow. Tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapenos, Mexican oregano, vinegar, salt. Hands a little raw from peeling all those tomatoes and jalapenos. It's worth it.

  not for the first time, notched up 11 donations so far.

  would have been far more but i've been declined quite a few times for various reasons such as having a cold, dental work and trips abroad.

  they check for hiv, hepatitis b & c as well as some other diseases each time i give here in the uk.

  New magazine cover from the religion that calls former believers "mentally diseased"....

  by cedars in

  apparently "prejudice" applies only to racial equality and has nothing to do with diverse sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

  it's news to me, but that's the only way i can explain this latest cover from the society.. http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/86/wp_e_20130601.pdf.

  cedars.

  I don't know. I grew up in a multi-racial congregation. No problems that I ever saw. Everyone was friends, only one white elder that I remember; the rest were black or Hispanic. I think it was good for me to grow up in a multicultural congregation.
