  Hey Cruzan! I didn't know you were half Greek! Guess we didn't get to talk much at the Dallas thingy... A Greek PRIEST? Thats the worst! When my folks went back to the old country, to the village, after my Mother had become a Witness, she told the priest there that she was a Witness and he immediately spit in the dirt and told her she was going to hell. I saw the videos. I think she went to hell on a donkey. <grin> Hehhehe.. Didn't mince words, that one! My Father never became a Witness and we were raised in a very Greek household, despite the Witness stuff goin on with my Mom (she is Swedish). If you want a REALLY good recipe for Baklava, hit up ole Trauma Hound. He's got the best recipe for it in town. I tried it over the holidays... kinda complicated but worth it! I, too, love the Greek culture and people.. but they do have their drawbacks. (See My Big Fat Greek Wedding for reference). Heheheh.

  Anyway... hope to see you again!

  Yasou!

  Anti-Apostacy Apostacy In Minnesota?

  just a reminder to the minnesota flock.

  just because i am not there to oversee the festivities does not mean i don't remember what happened the last time i visited greater north.

  i would hate to think that there are divisions among the flock that would not allow for partaking of spiritual food.

  Windchaser:

  I can sympathize with your memory. I found a black lab pup on the road in a subdivision that was being built. He was about 3 months or so. We named him "Black Dog." Incredibly creative, I know! <grin> It was interesting, though, because he was docked, and it wasn't a straight dock.. it was crooked. So he just wagged his crooked stump when he floundered out onto the road in front of my truck. I fell in love with the little guy. My husband, who really isn't a dog person, much less a pet person (the only reason he lets me keep all these animals is because he's afraid I might run off with a zookeeper ::::love a man in uniform:::.. heheheh) said "You can keep him if you put up signs saying you found him and no one claims him." I dutifully put up the signs in the most obscure places.. <grin>. Needless to say, no one claimed him. The first thing he did was eat all the wires out of my brand new truck, you know.. for the lights that hook up the horse trailer. Baaad dog! Then he ate the cell phone that someone left on the porch swing. He then proceeded to eat the remotes. I thought it was funny.. Crabby Pants didn't. But my crying kept him from going to the pound!

  He would run around the haystacks and throw himself with joyful abandon into the lake. He fortunately gave up his chewing habits after about 3 months, and we began to teach him how to fetch, sit, speak, etc. He was the greatest dog. Then someone took him. My Grandmother died, and I had to go up to the Midwest for her funeral. I left the dog here at the house with husband. He fed him every day and on the day before we got home he called and said he had disappeared. I think someone took him cuz the guys down the road said someone had come by asking if they knew if the people at the house on the corner would consider selling their dog and asking questions about the dog. <sigh>

  I loved that dog.

  Your macaw is just GORGEOUS! Does he talk at all? How old is he? What a cutie! And your puppy and kitty are so cute, too! I would like to include picz of my pets, but dont know how! <sigh> All of ya'lls pets are so gorgeous... aren't we so lucky to have our fine feathered, scaled, prickly, furry, slimy and even naked friends in our lives? My life is truly enriched by my pets. I would be a very bored person without them. Mr. Crabby Pants doesn't care for the pets much, but then he likes reading computer books. <heheeh> Thanks for posting all your great stories and pics of your pets. I've really enjoyed this thread!

  I come from a very large Greek family... and most parts of it are celebrating Christmas today. I always thought it was a good idea, too, however when yer a JW you don't have any choice about *any* Christmas! Kalimera, Marcos! And to all the Hellenics out there, Merry Christmas! <sparkle sparkle>

  Did you ever get put on the spot?

  by that i mean from the platform at the kingdumb hall?

  i remember some study conductors who had the habit of calling on people in the audience that seemed distracted or unprepared--on purpose so as to embarass them.

  some were so out of it when the mic was handed to them they had to ask what was the question, why did you call on me i didnt have my hand up, etc.

  LOL, Simon! You look (in your profile pic) like just the kinda guy that would giggle like that. I got a big kick outta reading that because, I kid you *not*, you look just like the kid that always sat in the same row with our family at the Hall. I would attempt to ignore him for the first twenty minutes of the meeting, but you know how kids just *have* to stare at other kids? I usually had my Mother and he had his between us, so I would lean forward and catch his eye. He would start snickering, then I would start snickering, and then before you knew it we had busted out in those loud, raucous uncontrollable, belly-achin kid laughs. I got taken out and spanked, and his Mom just pinched him underneath the arm. But not before we had the Overseer's angry gaze on us. Heh.

  Sheesh! Some SOB digs a ditch around my house, he's gonna get an ass-full of rock salt. <grin> So this guy just dug a ditch around his neighbor's house, and no one thought to call the police? The owner just *let him* dig a ditch around his house? Hell, if the neighbor dug a ditch around the *whole house* and the brother didn't call the police, or try in some way to stop him... well, then he deserves it. Gaw...

  And the chick that got all depressed and prayed for umpteen years cuz her Bible study moved back to the Middle East? Now.. honestly, peeps... how dumb is that? Sounds like she had low-level chronic depression ANYWAY...

  Oh oh OH! The lady that lost all her mentally-regulated well-oiled robototrons for Jehovah? I bet they're all hangin out here. Hi fives to all!

  P.S. Edited for "the guy that dug the ditch didn't deserve to die... the JW fellow deserved to have the ditch dug around his house cuz he didn't call the bobbies or try to stop the ditcher digger." I am not an evil opposer hater, I swear.

  Elsewhere:

  That's my favorite painting of Edvard Munch's ... I got his Complete Works for a Christmas present. Another guy that has a similar style, if you like that type of disturbing art is Frances Bacon. Now he's got some really strange stuff.. hehehe.
