i love peeling a fresh orange and eating it.
.
i hate getting a phone call from someone i don't want to talk to, even if i don't answer, maybe especially if i don't answer.
I love chocolate donuts
I hate the way they look on my hips

sorry for the rant but hubby isn't home and i am irritated.. my 12 year old makes videos on you tube.
she is into japanese anime.
so sometimes she acts out made up skits with herself playing one the anime characters.. well at her birthday party saturday she told her 10 year old cousin (amber) what her account name was on you tube.
I wasn't aware that pissed and freakin were cuss words
as i read posts throughout this site, i became amazed at some of the criticism people have actually spent time creating, reading (as i did), and responding to.
dont get me wrong, some of what i read are good issues that seem worthy (to me) of discussion, but to be honest, i find that 90% of the posts are based on ridiculous petty topics that are obviously tied to a sense of deep hatred of the wtbts.
i can appreciate that some of the people who leave such post, and have this hatred, are taking their time to discuss such things as part of a therapeutic process to combat the fact they spent a large portion of their life dedicated to an organization they feel abandoned them at some point.
The beliefs many of you held as sacred, and worthy of spending countless hours spreading to other people, are now the focus of your malcontent. Now, you spend a lot of time working against the very thing you once promoted.
Never held any beliefs sacred, didn't spend countless hours spreading anything to anyone. I had this religion shoved down my throat from birth to age 18 against my will. I do hate the JW's but I've always hated it! So why are you here?

sorry in advance to all of the ones on this forum now, who partook while jw.
i have to say that in my experience, having known personally several who were "of the annointed", most were absolutely dingy.
the only exception was the little ancient gal who had attended the early convention where all attendees were "annointed" en masse!
There was one in the first hall I can remember. She was old as dirt had a teenage son and was married. I was always scared of her she looked crazy and she tried to sing those damned kingdom song like an opera singer She had a horrible voice, always sang to loudest, always wore her glasses perched on the tip of her nose and was about 6'2" tall.
She really looked scary!

i guess people think "photoshop" when they think of me.
yep, i love that.. oh, they also must think i have a screw loose .

i've been wondering whether god should be seen as an artist or an engineer.
the hebrew verb commonly translated as 'created' in genesis 1:1 bears the meaning of 'to cut out', hinting at god being a sculptor.
in its endeavour to imitate scientific language, the intelligent design movement, on the other hand, wants us to believe that god is an engineer who consciously designed the entire universe.
so, we aren't going to stay young and never die.
how do you feel about aging, especially those of you that are over 35?
aging poses some concerns for me, especially since i am 49 and pretty much single.
Other than the aches and pains I'm enjoying it.
My children are grown, my husband and I can do whatever we want without thinking about the kids. We are stable in our jobs/career, have a little money put aside and are pretty healthy, you know no diabetes, HTN, high cholesterol, etc.......
I would not want to go back to my 20's or 30's I'm happy were I am and looking forward to 50's

so my girlfriend and i are getting very serious, and i've bought her engagement ring, should be done being built sometime in may.
then at some point later, i'm going to ask her to marry me.
she was with me and picked out her ring, so she knows its coming.
My parents didn't come to my wedding either, I really didn't care. If they didn't support me I'd rather they not be there anyway.
I'm sorry you have to go through this, but don't let that spoil your day. The people that do attend, those are the people (family or friends) that will be there to support you through your marraige, good times and bad. Send the invitations and if they respond that they won't be there, forget about it and move on. Be thankfull to the flying spaghetti monster for those who love you enough to be there for you.

"life is too short", "carpe diem", "eat, drink, and be merry...", "never put off till tomorrow..." we have all heard these phrases, taken them to heart, and burned ourselves out on the stress from them.
i say...screw that shite!
the only thing keeping me from jumping out the window of my 6th story apt or driving my car into the back of one of the metro buses on the beltway is knowing that, if one of those actions do take place, i won't be able to nap that afternoon.
I usually close my office door during lunch time, put a sheet on the table and take a nice little snooze. It refreshes me and I'm all happy when I wake up. I can really get grumpy when I don't have a nap, I wonder if I was like that when I was a kid?
