  ok, this is a totally self serving thread, please excuse the me me me attitude this will have, but i have to vent, and this is the place i do it best.. i just got done starting research on eryn/eclispegate and realized i have been away for a bit.

  it's insane the scandals that go through this place.

  i can assure you i am real, and i hope those who know me would say i am as real in person as here.

  ((((((((((WLG)))))))))), I'm sorry. I've had my heart broken a couple of times. It really sucks, but with time it always heals and grows back bigger than before. Don't give up on yourself or other people. I'll miss you in the werewolf game.

  Welcome to the board! I was the only one in my family that was a JW. When I DAd myself 11 years ago all my JW friends stopped talking to me, so "No".

  my daughter shannon is 20 weeks pregnant.

  the placenta is pulling loose and she has some bleeding.

  the doc seems confidant that both she and the baby will be fine.she found out this week that it is a boy.

  A+W, so sorry. I hope everything goes well. I think Bobbi is right, that at 20 weeks the baby is fully formed. There's so much they can do now to keep a pregnancy and take care of preemies if she has it early. Keeping you and your daughter in my thoughts and prayers.

  Cute e-mail I received....

  i'm going to try to implement these..... dear employees:.

  it has been brought to management's attention that some individuals throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their co-workers.. .

  due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.. .

  Debunking the Reagan Myth

  debunking the reagan mythby paul krugmanpublished: january 21, 2008historical narratives matter.

  thats why conservatives are still writing books denouncing f.d.r.

  and the new deal; they understand that the way americans perceive bygone eras, even eras from the seemingly distant past, affects politics today.. and its also why the furor over barack obamas praise for ronald reagan is not, as some think, overblown.

  tomorrow is my first day at my new job.

  i'm looking forward to it but i'm a little nervous as well.

  other than my own computers and a couple of friend's computers, i haven't done a whole lot of this kind of work since 2004. of course before that, i did it exclusively for eleven years.

  I am sorry for all of you who have to experience this. It is so sad. I was the only JW in my family, and I guess I wasn't a very good one because I never stopped associating with them.

  If the kids ask, I think you should tell them the truth in the kindest way possible, and in a way that is appropriate to their level of understanding. Like telling little ones the grandparents are mad at you and not them. Para, I like your idea about keeping a record of the invitations extended and not accepted, too.

  I really hate football, but I live with the Pats biggest fan. I keep telling him he can't possibly expect them to win every single game, and it's only a matter of time before they lose one. He looks at me like I just plunged a knife into his heart and makes me feel like I just gave my country over to the Russians. I'll be so glad when it's over. Can't wait til spring and the Red Sox are on.
