  Intro's quote-o-rama

  by Introspection in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i guess i've been inspired by stephen's quote threads, so i'm going to start one myself.. not one particular author here, just whatever i can find:.

  q: why do you think that people are so protective of their egos?

  why is it so hard to let go of one's ego?.

  "'Tis better to be a witty fool, than a foolish wit."

  Some clown in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (Or was it Midsummer Night's Dream???)

  "Just stop asking questions and do it! I cannot see beyond what I just told you to do!"

  Me, talking to my 10 year old son after telling him to empty the dishwasher for the 4th time in ten minutes.

  "I've got a straw! Want a demonstration???"

  The Tick to some guy in a coffee shop that was questing whether he was a real tick, because ticks suck blood. (A great comic book and cartoon!)

  "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out!"

  Every parent, to every child, at least once.

  i'd be wearing a fake beard just to get them revoked.

  As a teenager, if others your age were publically reproved, or had privillages revoked, than the parents usually discouraged their kids from hanging out with them, and that can be very devastating when the teen JW is not allowed to make friends outside the hall.

  Also, when you have been in for so long that all your friends are JWs, it is awfully lonely when they think you are bad associations, even if you have not been Dfd.

  My father served in Korea in the Navy. He died ten years ago, and I still have no idea what he did exactly. The only thing he would ever mention was eating lots of spam, and learning to work on engines.

  My ankles and feet are swollen...but the left is bigger than the right. I am thinking of joining the fair when it comes to town as a freak act and cashing in on it.

  Sometimes I think I am 15 months pregnant...I swear to god! I feel your pain LDH...especially if it involves charlie horses. I am due in October, but have only gained 3.5 pounds because I was so severly sick in the first and part if the second trimester. maybe I will look at this as a good thing when I try to lose weight after the fetus is jettisoned from my body.

  When a woman that has not been pregnant, or a guy asks me what it is like, the first thing I ask them is,"Have you seen the movie Alien?"

  This is my third kid...and by far my bitchiest pregnancy. Even my ten year old son politely told me that I am much more of a witch this time than when I was pregnant with his little sister. (Of course, knowing me well, he started the sentence off with "I don't to be mean but...")

  The only thing that gets me through many days is knowing that it will end soon and my husband and I will have yet another tax deduction.

  yesterday, my brother had his jeep towed in to my shop for repair.

  about the time he arrived i was ready to eat so i took him with me to fuddruckers and we sat at the table and drank beer for lunch.

  that was the first time i have ever drank with my brother, and honestly i can't remember the last time we just talked one on one.

  i am due in the middle of october and my husband and i cannot come up with a name.

  i almost had him sold on venus, until he asked people at work what they thought and he got wierd looks.
