sometime after 2:30 this afternoon my door bell rang.
it was a young woman alone who told me she was a volunteer out in my neighborhood.
i saw the new tract in her hand.
No mention of Jehovah at all. I thought that was weird but then this is my first encounter with someone in Tennessee, and it is the Volunteer state, whatever that means. She was probably a pioneer filling up the time on a small development (there are twenty or so houses in our little area) trying to get rid of her stack o tracts. Hope you are doing well Blondie.

Sometime after 2:30 this afternoon my door bell rang. It was a young woman alone who told me she was a volunteer out in my neighborhood. I saw the new tract in her hand. I leaned into the open door and said I know who you are (she scanned my face but didn't find it in her memory bank). Looking at me and saying you know me? Yes, and I am not interested in your work at all. I really do wish I had run to the kitchen for a fun sized candy bar as an offering. Anyone else have this happen?
it has taken half of everything i had........but i still have my wife!..........................oompa
Divorce sucks. Try to work out the problems. The hurt can be f**king unbearable. Something you have to live with everyday for a long time.
Still not so Bubblie, having a bad weekend.

When you think of the economy it is like everything is 30% off right now. Your house is worth less, your stocks if you have any are worth way less, so it is like it is on sale right now and everything is marked down. Divorce is way worse than the economy, especially when your ex moves someone you have partied with at an Apostafest, into your old house. That is so hurtful to your self esteem that you don't care that you may have a house, a car, savings, etc. You simply feel like sh*t most of the time. You can't get it out of your mind. You can take comfort that the economy will change. Once you are divorced that is pretty much a bust to any happiness you used to have with that person. It is way over! Thanks a lot to the one that seemed like so much fun! Thanks to both of them for making my life crap each day. Just hope one of them reads this since she is still on this board, commenting like everything is just fine with life. Why not, she is living in a fabulous house with a wonderful man who is taking care of her. I am tossed aside like yesterday's financial report. Sorry man, just working out my anger here.
Not too Bubblie today
my gal is having some issues.
she's gone to her doctor and he ruled out a bunch of ailments but she still isn't feeling good.
a friend of hers said what needs to be done is a cleansing fast.
Just like a few of the posters on here, I have done fasts. Distilled water only, no teas, no special drinks of lemon or other such stuff, just the water. The longest I have ever done one is I believe 15 days. That was a really long time ago when I was trying to lose weight fast. Yes, you can lose a pound a day but as soon as you start eating again at least 5 of those pounds come back. It is refreshing. However, I haven't fasted for longer than three days, lately. That is a blood cleanser. I know there are a few sites about fasting clinics. My ex does a fast for a week for an unhealthy intestine. He does this every few months. He said it seemed to help. He doesn't post on here anymore but he would have joined in the discussion, since he swears by it. Otherwise, he would be miserable and couldn't eat regular food. Maybe, he is doing better since he doesn't live with me anymore and doesn't have to eat my cooking. I probably made him sick. Wonder how the woman he is living with now is dealing with this. The person that is fasting should not work or do any other activity while undertaking a fast. They should be at rest in a clean bed. Sometimes, just showering is a taxing event. Plenty of fresh air is needed, too. You have to be supportive if you are the one that watches over them. I will not miss the schedule he kept. Let us know if your lady decides to undertake it.

Being German on my Dad's side and woman of sixty I would like to say just being at the kh caused many physical problems, that has a lot of us to therapy for mental problems, now. Sometimes, it is difficult to stay bubblie all the time!
im moving in a few months.
going through stuff.
too much stuff i've been hanging on to with no good reason.
On my last move I threw away two brand new bibles in the plastic never opened. I couldn't throw away my personal bible for some reason. When I got to my new place I tossed it. It is a cleansing to rid yourself of these magic books, huh? Hope you get to that place soon.

he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.
when you long for blessings that you may not name, and when you grieve knowing not the cause, then indeed you are growing with all things that grow, and rising toward your greater self.

Hey Sparks, what are you smoking out there in the dry lands? Pretty heady stuff you shared here. I love his work but haven't read it in years. Thanks for the deep thoughts, I am going to go to bed. Can't sleep anymore since finding out about the woman from the board that my ex took up with. I gave him the fastest divorce his lawyer ever did. I moved out to give him his freedom because I loved him. That is slowly going away. I need some wisdom to take away the hate that is developing. That is not a good place to be. Read anything else to encourage me? Maybe, I will call you later in the week.
Love to a friend, Kit
today, i am 55 years old and all of the'anointed' jw's are at least 50 years old and there are over 9,000 of them.. .
between the 1959 and the 1960 memorial, 600 'anointed' jw's went to heaven and into the presence of god:.
1959 memorial partakers world-wide 14,511. .
I was trying to explain the anointed to my therapist today. She just looked at me confused. Yes, thank you for those numbers. They make your head spin. How can this be? By the way you have a pm.
i am filling out my first voter registration application.
i''ll be fine.
but i feel like i need a drink.
Good for you kiddo! I just changed my voter registration to Tennessee and got my new card in the mail. This will be my first ever time to vote for President. So, we are in the same boat. Exciting isn't it to be a part of what is really going on, not what the Borg wanted you to do and think. You have made a good decision, just get out there to make a difference. I love wearing the I voted sticker. I think I even kept it somewhere. Wish we lived closer so we could have a drink together. I will have one for you tonight.
Love ya, Kit
