  Life Is Short

  in honour of the fact that life is shortwear your white shirts.

  get them pressed.. use your good dishes everyday.. shave on weekends.. do not wait for special occasions.. do not tuck your best away in the drawers, in the back of the closet, in your heart.. dont wait for holidays or invitations.. declare that your today is the special occasion.. call instead of emailing.

  (it feels so good to connect.).

  Funny you should mention the above Mrs. J. I've been thinking lately of what the late columnist Erma Bombeck wrote a column about, similar to what you wrote above. In her column she asked herself who was she saving the good China for and so forth, in other words, be good to yourself while you still have the time to.

  That's why I recently treated myself to the Vitamix, which is quite pricey and I always wanted a bottle of Tattinger's Champagne, which was very good I must say! Hey ya' can't take it with you !!

  Are Your Morals The Same As When You Were A Witness?

  even if you consider yourself a moral person, would you say that you are as honest, faithful, or any different than you were as a jw?.

  Regarding morals in religion, besides the JDubs, I've noticed folks that are always saying and preaching Jesus, Jesus, Jesus every other minute are the biggest sinners in the world. Which is why they try to present themselves as Uber Christians.

  Changed my Last Will and Testament

  by time2keepmoving in

  1. jw

  i had to change my will and insurance policy and remove my relative who is still a witnesses as a beneficiary of my life insurance policy and exclude them from receiving any of my assets.

  i hated to do it but i did not want them giving any of my money to the wts if i pass away.

  i know if i left them anything they would look at it as a 'blessing from jehovah' and would definitely take any monies i left them and put some of it in the contribution box.

  Thank goodness my parents died without a will needless to say, they were waiting for the BIg A and Paradise to come.

  I know my mother would've definitely left some money to those old A** holes in Brooklyn if she did draw up a will.

  A close friend of mine when I was still attending told me that "someone told her" that in a scene from a porn film, in the background "someone" noticed one of the publications, hhmmm, very interesting. But then again not really, I'm sure quite a few "someones" in the Borg are quite familiar with porn.

  Scully I must be older than you, when I think of him I don't even think about New Years, my mind goes back to when I was growing up in the 60's to Saturday mornings watching American Bandstand, that is the Saturday mornings my mother decided not to go out knocking on those doors.

  Been a fan since he first started at WNBC thirty years ago, however, I refuse to pay for radio, so now I just rely on the daily synopsis somebody writes and posts on the internet daily, plus some of his interviews are posted on YouTrube.

  US Politics - please read

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  we're already being innundated with the drivel that is the us political process.. propaganda, right and left.

  no one wants to discuss or debate, they just want to shout in each others faces.. so, here's the rules:.

  you can discuss politics as long as you are discussing things.if you just post copy-and-paste propaganda it will be deleted.if you post it in anywhere but the politics area it will be deleted.if it's the inane "obama can't prove he was born" or "romney is an alien" crap then it will be deleted.if you repeatedly violate the above, including trying to get threads shut-down, then you will be deleted.this has been a public service announcement on behalf of the "i dont' give a shit, the government always gets elected" party.. .
