  George Bush working on Autobiography

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  apparently the current president has started work on his autobiography which he hopes to have ready for release when he leaves office.. he's run into a few issues though ... apparently his coloring-in went over the lines in quite a few places and he had trouble cutting out the popup shapes with the plastic safety scissors he was allowed to use..

  I did my part, I voted for the other guys, even though I didn't like them either.
  
  The last eight years has been miserable here, can't blame all of it on Bush, but if nothing else the guy is bad luck.

  Last year a guy shot up a downtown Jewish center, killing one worker and injuring many others. His trial ended in a hung jury. I guess pretty much anything goes in Seattle.

  and they caught me at home a couple of times.. a couple of months ago, two nice, very young men (teens) came to the door.. my dog was barking, my older one was walking around without clothes and all i could think of was "i'm soooooooooooo not up for this today.".

  so, i said "yeah, uhm, i'm an apostate.

  " the big grins dissapeared and they walked away.. the other day, my bathroom plumbing is getting rerigged and there's a ton of stuff going on, i'm dripping wet from the pool and two woman come up my drive..

  If the JWs come to my door I am polite and tell them I'm not interested and have them leave as quickly as possible. I could argue with them but they took years from my life, why even give them a few more minutes of my time? Actually, if it's witnesses or someone else I don't want to talk to, I don't even bother answering the door. Eventually they go away.
  
  I have a younger cousin (never a witness) who used to play Black Sabbath music and act crazy when the JWs came to his door. It was funny, but yes, just reinforces the JWs belief structure.

  Wolf, I am new to this board also.
  
  I was a teenager in the '70s, (yikes, all before your time) and remember the conventions well. No chaperoned dates here, it was all wild and loose. Every night was drinking and sexual hijinks. I posted on another thread that it always amazed me how conventions make people go crazy for some some reason, I don't care if it's witnesses or hardware salesmen.
  
  I still recall one time at a convention in St Paul MN, we, white guys from the 'burbs, were standing around and this black guy walks up and says "ya'll looking for some white beef, I can set you up with some white beef." We laughed, and said we were OK, but thanks anyway. I assume he was a brother, never can tell, but just one of the many wacky experiences at the conventions.
  
  As I got older and the fun was over, I just dreaded the conventions, sitting there for hours on end, the smelly bathrooms, the bad food, waiting in lines......just torture.

  BBQ Advice

  by Peppermint in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for many years i have held bbq's in derision.

  i am not one for social norms and have a general fear of succumbing to pleasant suburban society.

  maybe i harbour this dislike because a jw once told me that he imagines the new system as a never ending bbq.
