  Would you do this to your kids? Is this cold or am I crazy?

  my mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.

  she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.

  she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

  You can buy a 10 X 20 tent in various colors, (too bad the pink is out of stock), for a little more than $90. We bought the 10 X 30 last year. It really is nice quality, and my husband put it up by himself, although the directions say it takes about six people to do so. Here is the link:

  Good luck with the Princess Party! The pink tent would be just perfect, but the white one will do for that and any other event. Also be sure to give your in-laws an estimate on how much they'll have to pay for their anniversary party. Just think how much money they'll save by using their dusty old tent, LOL!

  both reopened mind and i are now in our early 60's and it seems our conversations lately have been on putting everything up for sale and buying a rv and travel until we can't anymore.

  it has been a dream of ours for along time to see all the site's in the u.s. and canada.

  we feel we could make money as we go by selling and teaching using herbs and gardening.

  I'm doing okay, TotallyADD; thanks for asking. You could still do what I've advised, except you could rent or sell the Florida house.

  Are you able to live in the Florida house now? If so, I'd say start your gardening and herbal business in PA now and go to FL in the winter and start one there. You may be able to get someone to run it in FL whle you're traveling back and forth between the two states and hopefully making stops to sell on the way. Also, have you considered buying/renting a camper van? They are less expensive to buy or rent and will use less gas. Or if you have a pick up truck, you could always get one of those campers that either attach or can be towed. Then once you're old enough to draw Social Security, you can decide if/what to sell.

  Your wife has been considerate of you, so return the favor to her. Practice some kind of blanket response she can give to people who ask about you. Help her get ready for the meetings, and take care of chores and odd jobs while you stay home. Have a nice surprise such as a dessert, glass of wine, etc. ready for her when she gets home. Then start proposing fun things to do as a couple (or family if you have kids) during meeting times.

  A Warning for anyone with Fibromyalgia or CFS

  by LisaRose in

  2. friends

  i had been hearing about a food supplement that has shown to be a promising therapy for fibromyalgia or chronic fatique syndrome, a food supplement called d ribose.

  i tried it and was impressed with the results, so i have been taking it for the last three months.

  unfortunately during this time i have also had intestinal issues, which have gotten progressively worse, to the point it was debilitating, also nausea, dizziness and a mild headache.

  The Normal Heart (movie)

  finally got the guts to watch it last night.

  it was so heartbreaking.. i was a partially brainwashed teenager when the story depicted in the movie happened, a few hundred miles away.

  i remember the advocates' angry outbursts on tv and the dying men in hospital beds, holding hands.. being a sheltered jw, i had no exposure to homosexuality and only the twisted teachings of the wts to taint my views.

  I watched that movie when it first premiered on HBO, and you're right, it is heartbreaking. As a jw I watched the news about hospital and funeral workers refusing to be around AIDS patients. Although I believed homosexuality to be a sin at the time, I couldn't believe that there wasn't some other way to handle working around these dying people. How sad we are as a society!

  Does No Solicitation equal Put on "Do not Call List"?

  by ABibleStudent in

  i live in a townhome complex.

  a few days ago i asked the property manager to ask the local kingdom hall to no longer place wtbts literature (propaganda) at the complex because the area is posted as no solicitation and because the literature is sometimes blown away from doors becoming litter.. today i received a response that the kingdom hall agreed to no longer place literature at the complex and to let him know if wtbts literature is placed at the complex.

  i was shocked how easy it was for the kh representative to agree to no longer place literature at the complex.
