mrs. flipper here.
what is up with all these hostilities lately?
did the watchtower sneak subliminal art onto this site to "divide and conquer" us?.
I miss them all too.
I know what happened and it was something that just got out of control.
I guess this will all give them some time out and readres them selves and come back fresh
(((((((((((((((((to all of you )))))))))))))))))))))))

has someone started a christmas card exchange list yet for this year?
we did this in the past and it was such fun to get all the great cards.. .
Over this last week i have recieved many cards.
My daughter has been very entruiged(sp?) from where they have all come from.
So we have gone to goole earth and looked up adressess and she is amazed that they have come from all over.
Thank you BEM for your hard work in organising this list.

i'd buy you a green dress, but not a real green dress, that's cruel.
i'm paying bills...is it my imagination or do they seem to grow right before the holidays?
santa should visit parents, first, in early november, with a check!.
I don't think a million would make much difference.
yeah it would be great but i think you would have more people having their hand out more so if you won it.
You would appreciate it more if you worked hard for it.
Ah money you can't live with out it.

this year we have a themed christmas party.. gangster/mafia...... what to wear.. was going to wear a flapper dress but hey who has a body to wear one of those...lol...... so its going to be a gangster moll outfit.
hubby he is wearing a black suit with a black shirt and white tie.. will post pics of the night (16/12).. i have rumours that they give out 'trophies' for things that have happened throughout the year or if you have a 'quality' ( i know one girl who is very chatty and i think they are going to give her a set of those chatty teeth that you wind up).
so what are you doing for your works christmas party???????.
Everyone one has different styles of christmas parties.
One of the places that i worked a few years ago had a great one for the family there were endless activites for the kids unlimited food and soft drinks, it was a great day.
I too am self employed (as well as being employed) last year we were invited to a business who was our clients christmas party it was great, so generous of them. I think the wife felt sorry for us being in a new town and not knowing anyone.

I was even thinking of starting a secret santa where i now work.
But i may have left it too late.
Will ask about it when i go back to work on the w/e.
I am looking forward to it i find it gives you the chance to talk to fellow work mates out of their work enviroment. As we are not allowed talking well limited any way heck we can't even have staff drinks at the end of the night.

well it happened.
my son got a response back from his paranoid witness mother.
as nice as he was , she couldn't help but try to make him feel guilty !
Mr Flipper thank you for sharing this with us.
the ex-wife says
Would it make you happy if I just stopped ( being a witness) ? I wonder, would I have the same morals ? Was my life all in vain ? Tell me then, why didn't I stop ? I had so many chances, my mom was very sick, sad to say and took her own life . I had a very unhappy childhood. I would never go back to that . I had a very unhappy marriage for 19 years . But I did recieve 3 very valuable jewels ( the children ). And I tried, but if it never worked out , I never looked back .
You know IMO just not being a JW doesn't mean that you have to be a bad person ( as in morals, lifestyle). There are lots of people in this world who have come from bad backgrounds and they are good people. Its history and how you deal with it and get on with your life than to dwell on it that is your own fault. Deal with it.
Again you have a truely remarkable son!
Take care
Regards

so, my 22 year old son called me this morning and said his witness mom, my ex, sent him this website link- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313683,00.html .
it is an artcicle about a 14 year old witness boy with leukemia who died because of refusing a blood transfusion.
doctors said he would have had a 70 % chance of surviving to live a normal life if he had accepted blood.
Mr Flipper you have one great son.
You should be proud of him.
Heck even i shed a tear.
Cheers

so, hello folks.
i have wanted to start this thread for sometime because i was curious if it has happened to any of you often.
in the last 10 years or so it seemed that deer were attracted to my trucks like magnets .
Over the years of driving i have hit a few animals.
its horrible especially if it could be a family pet.
I now live in a VERY rural area.
When i go to and from work there is so much wildlife around.
I have nearly hit a few Kangaroos, tortise, wallabies, rabbitss and native birds.
All along the side of the roads there are many dead kangaroos and many birds and rabbits on the road.
Its horrible.

i just recived an e-mail from an active jw friend of mine, he was replying to the utube e-mail i sent him on the molestation cover ups.
he knows the jw are shite, but he's conflicted becasue all his family is still in.
it made me sad, he's young and knows its shite but doen't know what to do.
You have so much courage.
It only takes one seed of doubt and it could be yours that puts it there.
Your doing such a great job
Helen
