  If you have Windows 10 . . .

  by compound complex in

  my roommate bought a new dell laptop, operated by windows 10. in the three weeks he's had it, it's online then goes offline (and this repeatedly): when he goes from one e-mail to another, when he engages in a financial transaction, when he opens a new webpage, etc.

  he does the basic rebooting, as prescribed in the article whose link is attached.

  his pc and my older dell and apple powerbook are all on wifi.

  Nic, what's the secret for keeping your old relic running so perfectly, I have an HP a year older thn yours running Vista. Now when I turn it on just to see if it still works which it does, I now have to set the date and time, always has a 2007 date on it, other than that not many complaints I've poured so much money into it, should've gotten it's replacement much sooner than I did with all the repairs money I put into it

  Witnessing Just After Sunrise

  about everytime i go to the grocery store just after sunrise, i can see the witnesses sitting and waiting inside their cars to distribute literature.

  it is not against the law for them to do that.

  i was wondering do they allow parking lot witnessing in your area?.

  Sunrise witnessing in NYC is nothing new, but then it's been a while since I've been around the ones that do that, but they used to meet at 6 or 7 and head straight to the subway stations are on the streets where the stations are located. Everybody in a rush to catch the train and they know that, so I'm sure if they actually spoke to one person in a month that would be something.

  last thursday i bunch of us working decided we were going to head down to the state fair and badge our way in to get a fletcher's corny dog for lunch.

  we had to go to a specific gate to park and show our credentials to get in.

  this meant driving halfway around the perimeter of the entire fairgrounds.

  I was hoping the thread title would be a clue
  I was hoping it was the State Fair of Texas

  I was wondering more if it was taken at a KH or assembly hall because of all the folks with the carts. as mentioned in my post

  darspilver - do you know where that picture was taken of all of them with the carts? You know it can't be after the FS meeting at the Hall because the turnout wouldn't be that big, unless of course that pic was taken at the KH during the week the CO was visiting. I also notice the school buses, I guess they're for them since all the carts and can't fit in someone's car.

  Kleenex Head Covering

  growing up a woman in the cult was pretty bleak.

  most of the adult women i knew were either depressed sad women or an embarrassment to me.

  i was typical kid in that regard.

  I remember one sister who put a diaper on top of her head to conduct the meeting for field service. A regular diaper....not a cloth one
  That is really and truly awful.

  Well, that's even worse than the slipper, but let's just hope it wasn't a used one, like since the sisters are always in subjection and she just changed her baby's wet diaper and a brother was in the room or whatever and all she had to grab was the wet diaper, I don't even want to think about the only thing left to cover the head with would be a muddy diaper

  I have to laugh at that slipper thing, it is funny. Your unbelieving mate walks into the room and you put a slipper on your head for a covering to show subjection to men, that your not as worthy as men are. Just wondering, was it one of those fuzzy slippers?

  i have a memory of some rock artist of the 60s placing a pic of herself and some guy in bed and her reading an awake magazine on the back cover.

  it could have been "is time running out for mankind" or something like that.

  anyone remember?

  Yeah, it's the day before my birthday, other than that I've heard nothing about money disappearing from the U.S. or whatever

  nicolas king frequently sings with the watchtower chorus and had a supporting role in the dvd released at the 2014 convention.

  (he's on the bottom row, second from the right.).

  but he also is a jazz singer, traveling constantly performing at concerts, casinos, charity events, even a brief appearance on the tonight show.

  Angelo Catanzaro?

  I remember him somewhere between late 60's early 70's, had a professional voice, could've done voice over work in my opinion. Well, since I was a kid then and I'll be sixty this year wouldn't he and his wife be pushing their nineties if still alive? And speaking of alive, wasn't there a rumor that he committed suicide?
