  this is a fascinating, beautiful story.

  "separated from his older brother at a train station, five-year-old saroo munshi khan found himself lost in the slums of calcutta.

  nearly 20 years later, living in australia, he began a painstaking search for his birth home, using ingenuity, hazy memories, and google earth.. .

  Awkward, but kinda funny encounter with JWs today

  i live in a majority-minority neighborhood, so i get the double witness whammy of my street being worked by both spanish- and english-speaking congregations.

  jws come to my door about four times a year, but i stopped answering years ago.

  what's interesting is that about two years ago, they stopped knocking on my door or ringing the doorbell.

  Prince wrote a Kingdom Melody for the Minnesota Vikings

  on local sports radio this morning, they played "purple and gold", a song prince was inspired to write after the vikings embarrassed the cowboys last sunday.

  it sounds like a kingdom melody to me.

  some of the lyrics refer to eyes being raised as a veil lifts in the sky, heavenly thrones, swords in hand, war, truth will be told.

  JWs just came to my door and didn't even knock

  i was working in the back room of my house, transcribing an interview with lara logan (she's fascinating), when my dogs started barking at the front door.

  i ignored it for 30 seconds, because that's just what they do.

  figured it was a cat or the mailman.

  The Things You Forgive (vent/eulogy of sorts)

  by hemp lover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you forgive her for never not once setting foot in your house.. you forgive her for yelling at you almost every day, because if she hadnt yelled at you, if she had been one of those calm-voiced, even-tempered kind of moms, the kind who wasnt enraged by a child who bumped the vacuum into the furniture or one who didnt always scrub out the sink with zud after washing the dishes, then you wouldnt, years later, have been able to recognize the shock and pain in your own daughters eyes when you lose your temper and lash out stupidly, momentarily, always apologetically (after the fact), but never, it seems, for the last time (unfortunately) and without the memory of a childhood filled with longing for an inch of approval from the one person who refused to give it, then you might not have recognized that same desire and need for acknowledgement in your own child and you might not give it to her at every opportunity (as you do, as she deserves).. you forgive her for waiting five days to take you to the doctor when you broke your wrist, because those five days of pain, during which you were encouraged to just stop babying it, will lead to the first of only two apologies she will ever extend to you.

  she just couldnt imagine how anyone could break a bone the way you described it happening.

  you seek a small measure of revenge by waiting 20 years to tell her how you really broke it.. you forgive her for slapping you when you laughed at her during one of her screaming fits.

  Afterbirth Blotched his Cardigan or the ABC Game

  by hemp lover in

  so i was sitting on the front porch drinking my vodka and cranberry grape juice with no ice (nine ice trays in the freezer and, thanks to my daughter, all of them empty) and i remembered an assignment my high school composition teacher once gave to write a poem where the first letter of each successive word begins with the next letter of the alphabet.

  i'm not feeling very poetic tonight, so howzabout a paragraph instead.... afterbirth blotched his cardigan.

  the doctor emitted a furious growl.
