I always say " Love is a verb not a noun" . You don't need to feel anything to give it. It's not an idea to put on a podium or create mood.The Bible describes it very well. What reniaa quoted.

Hi Password,

I hope you & your son had a good time ! May GOD's grace fill you to respond to this in a Christian manner. I really liked Brocephus's comments.

Has anyone got anything positive from the WT organisation?

everyone seems to just hate the wt.. i am very upset with the way ive been treated but i dont hate them.. they have given me huge self confidence after helping me out of depression, although i have a fab counsellor, so they cant get all the credit.

they have made me independent as well, (i think my ex-study conductor regrets that!

) i suddenly have a mind of my own and am not afraid to use it.. i owe them quite a lot they have really helped me through some bad times but they have created some bad times for me too.

The fall after I moved here the teachers had a strike over their benefits. When I heard what they wanted I was appalled. They were grieved over the school district wanting them to have their family members make a 3$ co-pay for Dr. visits & prescriptions. Their health bennies were completely paid by the district(tax payers) and all family covered at no cost.Their argument was they were professionals & only asking what they were due. I have never met a professional with such a generous benefit package. The people around here are mostly blue collar & without insurance. Teachers got what they wanted and no one seemed upset when I would ask them what they thought of it.

We have investigations going on over bribes made for teachers jobs. Applicants were allegedly making 10-20K payments to get hired. So things may be changing here.

I have heard enrollment going down in California because of the co-ed showers & bathrooms & sex ed classes.

I'm sorry I'm late commenting. I was out laying in a supply of scrapple & souse for the weekend.

I like the souse made with cured meat we get here in the north more than the plain.

Beks , was it you that said you would eat posole but not menudo? Did you know posole is made with pigs feet? Here in the north we make something similar to menudo called pepper pot soup.My grandmother used to make it , she washed it out in the laundry sink.

My mother is a fan of tongue, I would eat it as a kid if I hadn't watched her skinning it!I am from the heart of scrapple making country and have always requested it at super markets when we moved.

My mom cracked us all up after a trip to Louisianna , she brought back a jar of pickled pigs lips. I didn't try them.

My mother -in -law also loved to go visit friends at their ranch during castrating season. I don't remember what time of year that was.

One last comment , I have a Jewish cookbook , they are the kings of eating offal, the page on roasted bull penis is too much!

Employment for teachers is changing here.There are charter schools, private schools , cyber schools, tutoring businesses, and homeschool evaluators being employed by the private sector. I do not know if it has created lay-offs or if the growth in the public schools is just slowed down.Our schools have not had their budgets cut or needed to trim staff yet.
