  what's your definition?

  how would you define the word... the person you'd refer to by that word?

  what *is* a friend?

  you know who your best friend is, when you think about who you would want to go through your things when you die.

  I love this thread. What Mulan said made me tear up. My best friend and I have a pact like this. It's not so much sorting through all the things in our respective homes as it is spiriting away the naughty and/or too revealing bits that are hidden in the box on the top shelf of the closet.

  Her birthday was this week and I made her a mix CD as a gift. It was a very emotional experience to go through ten years worth of songs, each one with its own story - our own story, and to have to narrow it down to 15.

  Knowing her has made me a better person. She listened to me, really listened, and in so doing, taught me how to listen as well. We've fought hard, we've loved harder, we've betrayed each other, we've apologized again and again and again. We've been through birth, death, sex, marriage, divorce, sickness, depression, euphoria, apathy . . . and we're still together. That's a friend.

  the details of who to send a gift to will be getting pm'd to you all either friday afternoon or saturday morning!

  according to the information i've found online the last posting day for standard parcels is dec 11th for usa and december 15th for the uk/europe, so you should all have plenty of time to select and send a gift, although sending sooner rather than later is prefered.

  can everyone taking part post on this thread what things they like, what their interests are etc so that the person who is buying a gift for you has some idea what to get you.

  I want a lump of coal. But if that's too much to ask, then just surprise me. I'll pretend to be easily pleased.

  Oh, and I don't mind mailing something overseas. i think it would be fun to mix our continents.

  you're scanning the board... looking for something good to read.

  topics come fast and pages quickly turn.

  by the time we get home from work, there's 3 or 4 new pages of threads.

  When I read the title of this thread, I thought, "Hmm, that's boring, moving on" but then I saw that teejay had posted it, so I clicked on it, because I had to get my teejay fix. So I guess the answer is I look at the title and poster. And if I like the poster, then the title doesn't matter, unless it's technical. Technical = blah.

  Nancy can't watch scary movies.

  last night, i got up for work (third shift) everyone in the house is asleep.

  after watching the movie "the ring" earlier that day with my neice and nephews, i started scaring myself with my thoughts.

  my son's tv has a weird short and sometimes it comes on by itself...(one time i woke up around 5 am and saved by the bell was blaring in his room)...(now that's scary).

  Nancy, that walkie-talkie thing would have scared the shite out of me.

  My daughter and I like to torture each other after we see a scary movie. I'll never start it, but if she does something that scares me, all bets are off. For example, after we watched "The Others," I can't remember what FOSHLL did to me, but my retaliation was combing all my hair over my face and saying in a high-pitched voice, "But I AM your mother..." That one gets her every time. He-he.

  Thanks for the tips. Maybe we'll take the shuttle bus, so we can at least see something of London.

  Well, I'm about to get my first passport stamp. My daughter and I are going to Prague for Christmas. We've bought the travel guides and are trying to learn the basics of the Czech language. Unfortunately, I put FOSHLL in charge of teaching me some key phrases, so all I've learned to say so far is "Excuse me, where are the danger toilets?" and "I'd like to meet a youth with a knife."

  We plan to see the main attractions, of course, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, etc. My question to those who've been to Prague is this: do you have a favorite off the beaten track place to visit in the city? A favorite pub, museum, restaurant? What I'd really like to do is just choose a different direction each day and walk till we're lost.

  We also have a seven-hour layover in London coming and going, during which time we'll have to change airports from Gatwick to Heathrow. Any ideas about what to do in that time span without missing our plane or even how long it takes to get from one airport to the other? I've tried googling London maps, but I'm having a hard time figuring the distance between the airports. Guess I need to buy a book on London too.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  LOL @ Princess. Man, that sounds like fun. I haven't had a good food fight since FOSHLL and I filled the bathtub with spaghetti.

  My first job, at 14, was monitoring alarms for some JWs who had their own company. I got paid $1.95/hr. to lay on the couch all day watching dirty movies (read: rated R) on cable TV. Windy days sucked, because alarms would be going off all over town and I'd actually have to talk to customers.

  Guilt?
  

  JW wife pressure?

  Latest WT talks focusing on ex-JWs?

  Betcha it was all three. I'm so glad he called you again, Megadude, but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back and forth on you, depending on the outside pressures. Flip-flopper... Do you think he snuck out without the wife knowing when he met you for a beer?
