  How old were you when you left?

  by somebodylovesme in

  2. friends

  i only know a handful of witnesses, but i do know several ex-witnesses.

  all of them left in their late teens, which (as i've read here) is pretty common.

  i know there are a lot of people here who left later in life.

  Born in, doubts at 12, pressure to baptise at 14, never did, out at 16.

  (For any young lurkers, I do not recomend this. It was tough, and I'd do it differently in retrospect.)

  Another Awake! Caption Thread

  here's an awake!

  cover that tries to give the impression that the demand for bloodless surgery comes from other than the dubs (strange that they should try to find support for such a "scriptural" doctrine by saying "everybody else is doing it!

  here is the "blank":.

  copsec,

  So tonight, he asks me to drive him over to pick up his friend and take them and drop them off at the bar (hecannot drive due to some issues right now).

  I cannot even say I am here for sex cause he hasn't been interested in that for quite awhile for some reason. I don't know if he is having an affair, having sexual problems or what.

  Is it time to ask him if he could try drinking less?

  Blow me off if I'm out of line, but not being allowed to drive on the pavement and unable to drive between the sheets are classic middle-age male alcohol abuse indicators.

  I hope I'm wrong and he has something like a technical problem with his vehicle insurance company and is masturbating to too much internet porn.

  THE CURE

  Friday I'm In Love
  
  I don't care if Monday's blue
  Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
  Thursday I don't care about you
  It's Friday I'm in love
  
  Monday you can fall apart
  Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
  Thursday doesn't even start
  It's Friday I'm in love
  
  Saturday wait
  And Sunday always comes too late
  But Friday never hesitate...
  
  I don't care if Mondays black
  Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
  Thursday never looking back
  It's Friday I'm in love
  
  Monday you can hold your head
  Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
  Or Thursday watch the walls instead
  It's Friday I'm in love
  
  Saturday wait
  And Sunday always comes too late
  But Friday never hesitate...
  
  Dressed up to the eyes
  It's a wonderful surprise
  To see your shoes and your spirits rise
  Throwing out your frown
  And just smiling at the sound
  And as sleek as a shriek
  Spinning round and round
  Always take a big bite
  It's such a gorgeous sight
  To see you eat in the middle of the night
  You can never get enough
  Enough of this stuff
  It's Friday
  I'm in love

  Prices of 8-Tracks on the rise!

  by Nosferatu in

  2. friends

  last night, i stopped in at a thrift store called "value village" just to see if they had anything to waste my hard-earned money on.

  i came to the 8-track rack and found a copy of fleetwood mac's first album.

  of course i grabbed it and walked up to pay for my item.. i nearly shit myself when i was charged $1.06 (including tax)!

  Nosferatu,

  Since every time you play an 8-track through, it stretches a little bit, the music on that tape now lasts longer than ever. More listening enjoyment = higher prices!

  Music You Grew Up With

  by Nosferatu in

  2. friends

  whenever people look at my cd collection, they'll come across blue oyster cult, black sabbath, iron maiden, led zeppelin, etc.

  but then they'll come across something unusual.. right now i'm listening to "kenny rogers - ten years of gold".

  my parents had this album, and i loved it.

  Solve this problem you dumdums :)

  2. friends

  my nephew sent me this problem that his teacher gave him.

  you have to go through each line only once and come back to the starting point.

  start wherever you want but you have to come back to that starting point without missing one line.

  OK, at the risk of making this all pointless, grins to you La Capra, here is the thirty-six year old solution!

  The line travels down the last vertical segment, without ever crossing it!!! WOO-HOO! Even when I was eight years old it was bogus.

  JH,

  I know this puzzle from thirty plus years ago, so I won't spoil it for everyone. Also, I HATE the "solution", it's Bogus!
