Q: What happens when you block my driveway?

by Elsewhere in

a: i block your car.. today i was out and about enjoying a rare day off work.

all was well and i was feeling good and having a good time... then i came home and found this grey honda parked in my driveway blocking me from parking in my garage (the one i pay $70 a month for).

ok, if asshole wants to block me, i'll block asshole.

I've lived in places where you can get shot for doing stuf like that, and slashing tires. Obviously neither of you have faced an asshole down and he pulls out a gun. It cures sophomoric machismo REAL quick.

Be careful with that kinda attitude . . .

2 Milestones for Me This Week.

between yesterday and today i've hit two milestones in my life.. #1. i finally registered to vote!!

i just kept putting it off.

then yesterday a friend was talking to me on the phone and while we were talking, his 18-year-old son was filling out a voter registration form that was mailed to him.

Locutus of Borg

Very Inspiring!

Voting was a big thing for me also.

I had a very severe health crisis myself at about the same point in life as you did. It was the beginning of my own awakening which led to my exit from the borg and grabbing life by the short hairs.

Peace be with you.

Congratulations!!!

I got my engineering degree at 49 so I know how hard you worked. It's time to celebrate by doing something selfish for yourself!! When I graduated I bought myself a new Stratocaster.

Whats your degree??

What will today bring?

for some of you, seems like you have your routines, family, jobs, etc....and you can plan you day and enjoy it.. for others of us, everyday is a struggle to make a good day happen.

if i don't work on it, i won't have one.

today will be a good day!

Locutus of Borg

I can empathize with your sentiment.

It's a struggle for me because I lost my entire immediate family to the Kult, (including my two children), with the exception of my youngest brother, who never bought into it. If I do no not sieze the day, and make a good one happen, it really sucks.

Sometimes it's pretty tough, and I have a great job and a spouse who loves and supports me in everything I do. I can't imagine how hard it can be for those who do not have some measure of those two blessings.

Sending good mojo your way.

Dreams yet to be realized.....

this topic was inspired by oompa and his sail boat.

on the other hand i am stuck in this room with my mother, and have a long night ahead of me and need some entertainment.

for you younger posters, i would love to hear from you because you have time to make your dreams real.. for the older ones, i would like to know how you reconciled dreams lost, dreams still out there, and what you are left with.. wings (of the middle aged posters).

Locutus of Borg

I'm now in grad school and also working full time.

Awesome!!!, dp

God bless you, you have more energy than me. I would love to do my Masters, but my job can be be very demanding at times, requiring weeks away from home and thus not conducive to further studies;. Plus I will be 55 this year, a Masters will do way more for my ego than for my career . . .

Keep on keeping on, man.

ahh, to be young and out of the Kult . .

A man found an eagle's egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air. Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings. The old eagle looked up in awe. "Who is that?" he whispered in wonder. "That's the eagle, the king of the birds" said his neighbor chicken. "He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth--we're chickens". So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that's what he thought he was. . .

pretty much sums up my life till I got out of the Kult My dream not realised due to the mind f**king . . . become a good enough guitar player to make a living at it. I was pretty much marked in the Kult my whole life because of my love of music and my playing the guitar. My future dream to realize . . . . A couple of years to visit and spend considerable time at all the places of mystical/spiritual power on this planet: Uluru (Ayer's Rock) the Pyramids, Karnak Temple, Angkor Wat, Stonehenge, the Nazca plateau, Easter Island, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza (Mexico), Teotihuacan, Istukushima Shrine, Mecca, The Great Wall, Chartres Cathedral, St Peters Basilica, Old Jerusalem, the Parthenon, Ajanta and Ellora Caves, Bagan Temples, Gateway to the Sun (Bolivia), St Georges Church (Ethiopia), etc. . . you get the idea. I still struggle with depression sessions of monumental proportions. It's really sad because I do have many things to be thankful for, an awesome job, a spouse who loves and supports me in everything I do, but the root of my sadness is that my family has been torn asunder by these spiritual thugs. I have no relationship with my brothers, my adult children, or my parents.

Hmmmm . .

What comes to mind is the case of the Stratford, Ontario Pioneer sister who disappears in '69 or '70 (it was a long time ago, forgive me) Found dead and raped in a field at a later date.

Seems it was another pioneer . . a brother . . from a neighboring congregation . . . gasp! he was even a ministerial servant (oh my!)

I know. . . . . .Her younger brother was my best friend at the time.

those f**kers are really good at covering stuff up.

God DAMN the Watchtower Society . . . .
