i go by if it makes me smile.

that is not a great barometer.... maybe it is...).

advice for throwing a first-ever birthday party

by 2pink in

jw
friends

we are having a first ever birthday party for my daughter in a few weeks.

i have never been to a b-day party, as i grew up jw.. my daughter is turning 5.. any advice or party tips?

how many kids should i invite?

DJK

Does your daughter have cousins her age and are not JWs?

If it's not a surprise party, ask her who she would like invited.

If your having the party at home, there will be lots of sugar and sweets involved, have some cages ready.

Edited to add,,, put all breakables up high.

Security is a pain...

...in the ass.

i like the fact that i have a debit card company that is up on keeping my money safe.

but have any of you had the experience of buying lunch...or should i say trying to.. .

DJK

I got home one day and there was a message on my answering machine from my credit card company stating my account was frozen because of suspicious activity.

I call them back and they tell me about a purchase that was made for 900$ worth of tires. I asked if they paid for the tires and they said yes; proper ID was accepted at that time of purchase. Well, you freeze my account for suspicious activity, what sense does that make? I made the purchase the day before. Glad I didn't try to use my card before the problem was resolved.

BTW, if you got 3 hundred dollars the night before, why didn't you have enough cash to buy a soda and a sandwich?

I haven't had a problem using my debit card. I only use it at the bank, the grocery store and the drug store.

Ladies: How do I get her to stop flirting without being mean?

by Elsewhere in

there is this girl at work who has been making it painfully obvious that she's interested, however i'm not interested in her.

so far i'm just acting as though i'm not seeing any of the "making of eyes", "any excuse to talk" or other general flirting.

ladies, how do i make her stop without being mean?

DJK

Invite everyone in the office out for a drink except for her.

wife took it pretty well i guess...it's over...

by oompa in

i guess it only took three years, but they were hell in so many ways for both of us...she was not happy and lived in denial as much as possible...i was not happy and lived in a bottle as much as possible and glad that is over for me....but it was one of the saddest things i have ever experienced in my life....as was the visit to my parents before i told her....but yes...she said she kind of expected it...was thinking something was going to happen soon as she noticed i had more and more trouble saying i love you back to her when she said it on the phone at the end of goodbyes...and when i was leaving the house...i had noticed it for over a year and it was killing me..... i told her how sorry i was for changing so much again....and that she still walks on water...and is a great person and so pretty....and that she will be ok because she was happy single before me for many years and had all she needs for that again...her closeness to jehovah and her freinds in the congregation...she is very close to both and will be ok i hope...it was very surreal....very calm...very sad.

my bitterness and disdain for wt rules came through when talking to my parents and i was very open about how i feel as to their upcoming shunning of me, and how it feels to my son since he was just 17....and how the fear of losing them had kept me trying in my marriage for the past few years...dad was firm in his position of future action....mom said they will still always love me...and will still talk to me until i get dfd.....oh how this hurts.....dad said there is a name for people who only live for themselves and deny god but could not think of what it was....i told him i was not living just for myself...that i am a good person and there are values from him and the bible i hope i always have....i cry so hard as i type this and tell you just so you can know how painful this is....i told him i so loved the rule of treating others how you want to be treated and have always done that...even allowing myself to be wronged on so many occasions to keep peace....... he said that was a good rule....i agreed and said it was a big one too....and that while i could do it...treat him the way i would like to be treated...he would not be able to!.......left as i became emotional...big hug from mom, but i just barely put an arm on dad............oompa.

Been in your shoes twice before, athough there were no JW issues involved. It's difficult to deal with never the less.

Time will heal and better love awaits.

A gun was pulled on my mum.

by LouBelle in

jw
friends

11 am in the morning, a very busy road, a very busy banks' parking lot.

my mother walked down the stairs to her car and saw a masked man run around her car and come up to her.

he pointed a gun at her chest.

DJK

I'm into the self defense thing. I would have taken the gun and shot him in his ass. Nothing more embarrassing than being shot in the ass with your own gun.

Cooks and their ingredients. Questions.

by compound complex in

hey there, cooks or chefs [outlaw]:.

i love to cook!

though alone, i decided long ago that i would not go the fast or packaged food route.

DJK

Cooking is creativity and when you create something good you share it. That's called a recipe. Don't stop with a main course. Create with vegetables too. Melt 2 onces of butter and then add a 2 tablespoon combo of fresh tarragon, chive and parsley finely chopped. Let set while steaming small "New Potatoes". When the potatoes are done, roll them in the mixture and serve.

Accidentally I boiled two cups of beef broth, with some crushed red pepper, down to one cup and wallah, I created a tasty dipping sauce for beef and veal. Maybe seafood too.

If your cooking healthy, olive oil is fine. Butter adds to flavor and a mix of both for sauteing can keep the butter from burning too quickly.

Man to be jailed for writing child porn stories

man to be jailed for writing child porn storiesby megan gillis, courts bureau.

a man got the minimum sentence of 14 days in jail thursday for possessing child pornography stories about sex involving teen girls and incest he wrote himself and never tried to publish or share.. judge hugh fraser called the facts in the case of michael jay thomas rather unique because it dealt only with written material.. thomas, 43, pleaded guilty to one count of possessing child pornography.

DJK

Now this guys life is ruined, he'll never own a home or have a good job again.

I'm curious. Why will he never own a home? Or have a good job?

He'll never own a home without a good job. It's becoming commonplace to do background checks on employment applicants even for jobs that aren't that good.

My daughter recently try to volunteer at a local food pantry for the homeless. First they wanted 400$ and then they said they would do a background check. It's good that they don't want to provide a haven for the criminal element, but 400$ to volunteer?

A man got the minimum sentence of 14 days in jail

This man has a very sick mind IMO and he just got a slap on the wrist. I wouldn't send him to jail, I'd institutionalise him for a year.

I asked him to take me to church with him, he said no, people would think we were engaged

This guy is transparent. If he cared about YOU, he wouldn't care what other people think. There's probably some JW chicky there that makes him want to appear totally single.

The only question you need to concern yourself with is this. Will you eventually marry this man who is in my opinion a JW already? NO!
