  George Lopez re-reruns

  George Carlin HBO specials

  Used to love "Mama's Family" - so dysfunctional -- along with the other dysfunctional families in Sopranos and Big Love, makes my family seem almost normal.

  Where do most of the posters live? I am guessing the US, Canada, UK and Australia, in that order.

  Ethnicity?

  Languages spoken other than English? Spanish?

  How about stuff like education, career (professional, self-employed, etc.)

  Anything else anyone wants to define?

  thanks so much for all of you who wrote on the death of my husband.

  i truly appreciated each and every one and it gave me great comfort.

  great comfort coming from people who have the same background as i and have come to a place wherever that may be, where they are now.

Great comfort coming from people who have the same background as I and have come to a place wherever that may be, where they are now. In my heart of hearts I believe that he is gone, knows nothing, is not floating in heaven, is not with his parents, friends and loved ones who went "before", that I will never see him again and that he is not "in a better place" as so many people have told me. If there is any evidence to prove me wrong, I am willing to listen, however, my belief is that death is final.

  my husband's death notice was posted in the paper and the location of the service was included.

  a couple of weeks later i received a forwarded envelope from the church where the service was held.

  it was addressed "to the family of ....." inside was a hand written note of comfort and a tract.

  Is this something new? My husband's death notice was posted in the paper and the location of the service was included. A couple of weeks later I received a forwarded envelope from the church where the service was held. It was addressed "To the family of ....." Inside was a hand written note of comfort and a tract. This seems like a good way of getting in service time. Anyone else had this happen to them?

  Hi,

  I have been AWOL for a while. I lost my husband to cancer after a long couragous battle of 5 years. I honored his wishes with a Catholic mass. My youngest JW (active) sister attended, sat in the back row and cried. My other sister and BIL attended the after reception. I have received a number of sympathy cards from JWs. His "service" was a great tribute to him. Quite unlike the "infomercial" given at the KH.

  Thank you for sharing your photos. You look GREAT! My 45th is next year and I am planning to attend. I live a 4 hour flight away, but try to get back every 5 years for the reunion. Our class was also small - 124 graduates. I have followed your story about the reunion with interest. Pretty much the same core group attends each time. Although an active JW when in high school, I was in concert band, German Club and some other activities.
