been here awhile now, mostly as a lurker, but while reading alot of posts, i feel justified in formulating an opinion on who the coolest person on this board is.
so my vote goes to ....drum roll.... .
valis .
You guys...
I didnt even check this thread since I was positive my name wouldnt be listed and I usually dont post to these because I always forget to list someones name and end up feeling really low.
Honestly, "Cool" to me is a caring, genuine, sincere, but strong person whos not afraid to speak up for what is right but also not too big headed to admit if they were wrong.
I think you all know who you are, as many of you are posting on this very thread.
Animal,
Who loves ya baby?
just a note to say happy saturday !!!
and isn't today the day we get to see you with a packers jersey on?
and don't try any fast stuff lb- i don't want to see any morphed pictures of someone else wearing the jersey with your head on it- the jersey has to be on your body!!
Well,
Nothing was more humilatingthan my putting on that 49ers jersey and I only did it cuz I felt bad & just love LB to pieces.
I wouldnt worry folks. LB is a man of his word and Im sure he will appear any moment wearing his new Green Bay attire.
this was inspired by the story freedom96 posted earlier.
i was in foster care and was placed there right before halloween.
i celebrated my first halloween, and thanksgiving.
Andee,
That is so sweet, adding that little extra touch.Im sure the kids loved it!
You know, some of the elderly really dont want or need much. If they can still write, keeping in touch with their distant family is so much more enjoyable if they have pretty stationary and stamps to get them through the year. Many of them do not have extra money since they have spent down their income on their health care. They cannot afford to buy the luxuries that we can.

Jesika,
Im sorry I didnt seen this thread when you posted it.
It takes a special person who has been through such a hard life and turn it into such a meaningful one.
It is so important to give. We can make such a difference in someones life just as you are making a huge difference here by sharing your thoughts and experiences.
Thanks Jes'
i once posted about my son, and his being given a ticket for public intoxication.
well, he came home a while ago drunk.
i flew off the handle and we had a few words.
Shari,
Im so sorry you are going through this right now.
Alcoholism also runs in my family. My entire JW family seems to abuse some type of substance, be it alchohol, prescribed drugs, you name it. Maybe to get past the guilt, who knows. My grandfather drank and had to cut it out all together in order to get a handle on it. My uncle was recently in the hospital because he was bleeding out. His liver is only partially functioning and his blood count was down to six. The Dr.s were amazed he was still living. He refused a blood transfusion, of course but accepted some expanders etc. He continues to drink and slowly kill himself.
Most alcoholics cant have just one drink. Once they start drinking, they cant stop so its best to cut it out all together.
Programs with therapy exist for this type of abuse. Unfortionatly, the alcoholic doesnt usually participate until they have been caught numerous times by the authorities and they are given the choice of either that or jailtime. Sometimes their employer will give the alcoholic a push and even pay for the program if they cooperate.
Hes so young Shari. I can only imagine how hard to have this problem and survive as a teen in this day and age.
Maybe you could give him the link to this thread just to let him know how worried you are.
I really wish I could be of some help. So many things are so big and scary for us to take on. Sometimes maybe they should be handled by professionals.
Take Care Shari, You are such a sweetheart.
I wish only the best for you and your son.
but three guys, lyineyes...........?
and in just two hours?????

one beautiful morning an atheist was walking through the forest, admiring natures surroundings... .
he looked up and saw the trees swaying in the wind high above him and smiled... .
he saw the river glisten in the sun twinkle like a new born star and it made him warm inside... .
