  what food places would you reccomend?

  if im in a new town, i like going to eat at places that locals go to that most like likely are not in all the tourists guides, if possible.

  if you were to come to my town, i'd probably take you to eat at dick's drive in (best burgers imo) and if you were in the mood for something fancy, maybe el gauchos (best steakhouse imo) and terrific atmosphere... how bout you?

  Scariest part about that movie? A lot of the EVP wasn't made for the movie. It was actual EVP recorded by paranormal investigators at the AA-EVP.

  uh-huh, i had heard that too...

  So?? Anyone have a review yet?? My 15 year old wants to see it tonite. She LOVES these kinds of movies..I can't watch them! I too scared......

  i'm gonna go see it tonight. but the newspaper reviewer only gave it one star. i bet she loved "The Ring". that was an excellent film! i've seen in four times.

  Anyway, what have you told your friends about being an ex-JW? Do you tell them from the beginning?

  if it ever comes up in conversation, otherwise no. not out of shame but just 'cause it doesn't seem important. they'll usually say oh they are weird and ask questions like why don't they celebrate birthdays, etc. but for the most part no one's keenly interested.

  hmm.. in 2004 alone, discoveries and advances (each of them phenomenal whether or not you agree with them) included the following (from BBC News):

  Water on Mars, : Nasa's Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity discovered compelling evidence for the prolonged existence of salty, acidic water on the surface of the Red Planet.

  Indonesian "hobbit". A team of archaeologists made the mind-blowing discovery of a new species of human that stood only one metre tall and lived on the Indonesian island of Flores. <--i wonder how the JW's explain this, btw?

  Human cloning. South Korean researchers made headlines across the world after announcing they had cloned human embryos, the first published and "peer reviewed" evidence this technique could work with human cells.

  Understanding condensates. In 2004, scientists made giant leaps in understanding ultra-cold gases called condensates, shedding light on some key problems in physics.

  Hidden DNA treasures. Stretches of "junk DNA" proved to be far more important than previously thought. They turned out to be essential for helping genes turn on at the right time and in the right place.

  Pulsar pair. Astrophysicists discovered the first known pair of pulsars, spinning neutron stars that shoot out jets of radiation.

  Declining plant and animal diversity. There was disturbing news this year about the decline of species diversity from large studies that surveyed amphibians, butterflies, plants and birds.

  Water on tap. New results on the structure and chemical behaviour of water could reshape fields from chemistry to atmospheric science.
  Medicines for the World's Poor. "Public-private partnerships" emerged as a force in 2004, according to Science magazine, affecting the way medicines are developed and delivered to emerging nations.

  Genes in a Drop of Water. This year, researchers hit on a new way to identify lifeforms too small and too remote to see. They collected water from diverse environments and sequenced the genes floating in it.

  tonight i'm voting in the official "word of the year" election held at the annual american dialect society conference.

  what words do you think should merit being considered the best word of 2004?

  as defined by the ads, the word of the year is the word that "most colored the nation's lexicon, or otherwise dominated the national discourse.

  cool. i like "flash mob" and "Pac-Manhattan", just for the imagery they conjure up. here's some more...

  togethering pp. Vacationing with one's extended family or friends. ?n. Among a hundred other statistics, the peppy marketing group, led by the irrepressible Cami Mattson, reported that, in the last five years, eight out of 10 travelers took at least one vacation with extended family or friends. More and more, Americans are vacationing in a loving gang, it seems. This trend toward mob bonding is called "togethering," a novel word to my ear. ?Logan Jenkins, "North County the spot for `togethering'," The San Diego Union-Tribune, April 29, 2004

  Google bombing (GOO.gul bawm.ing) n. Setting up a large number of Web pages with links that point to a specific Web site so that the site will appear near the top of a Google search when users enter the link text.
  ==

  undecorating (un.DEK.uh.ray.ting) pp. Redecorating a home or room to give it a simpler, less cluttered look. ?undecorate v. As in: "This room needs editing. " Editing also is known as "paring down," or, as the new issue of Better Homes and Gardens calls it, "undecorating. " Undecorating is when you take a good, hard look at all of the decorating you've done during the last 10 years and ... well, undo it.

  furkid n. A pet treated as though it were one's child. Also: fur-kid, fur kid. Example Citation: My name is Brenda Mejia and I'm owned by two Australian cattle dogs. I don't have kids, so I call my dogs my 'furkids.' They keep me as busy as a soccer mom. ?Brenda Mejia, "Pet stories," The Desert Sun (Palm Springs, CA), April 30, 2004

  crackberry n. A BlackBerry handheld computer, particularly one used obsessively; a person who uses such a computer obsessively. Also: CrackBerry.
  Example Citations: In Washington and elsewhere, the devices are referred to as "CrackBerries" because of their addictive quality. Philippe Reines, a 34-year-old Democrat who works on Capitol Hill (and who coined the term "blirting," for BlackBerry flirting), said he went through severe withdrawal after finding that Martha's Vineyard lacked BlackBerry reception. Mr. Reines wandered around the Vineyard for days looking for spots of coverage before begging an airline employee to take his BlackBerry on a round trip to the mainland, where it could send and receive messages. He got 129 new messages, many of them social. ?Jennifer 8. Lee, "A BlackBerry Throbs, And a Wonk Has a Date," The New York Times, May 30, 2004

  I've more often been gobsmacked at how stunning some people, who are merely attractive in life, become when viewed thru a lens.

  well, you totally captured her beauty...those are excellent photographs. any one could be on the cover of a national magazine. you and jwbot are fabulous photographers.

  My votes are Hugh Jackman and Ed Harris, both actors.

  here is Hugh in "Kate and Leopold"

  

  and in a nice white t-shirt (the sexiest thing any man can wear)

  (Ed Harris?) lol jk....

  first, i'm not telling you what to do. only you know what to do. but you asked people to tell you what they think, so here's what i think...

  if he is divorcing his wife who is no longer a JW, and he still says he wants to "come straight with everyone and make things right", that tells me he hs no intention of leaving his 'religion' anytime soon. you said: I really love this guy and know beyond 100% that he does love me, but why the hesitation? He says it bothers him that he knows he is doing wrong, and he needs to fix it but at the same time he just keeps waiting on his ex to make a wrong move." ...what does he mean when he says he's waiting for her to make a wrong move?

  he says he wants to "marry you not because it is what he believes god wants but because he really truly does love you".. if that were the case, there would be no hesitation on his part, and i think you know that. you said " I don't know what to make of this situation and I have already told him that I am ready to go stay at my Dad's until he does take care of his part of the problems .

  excuse me??? you live with him and you are carrying his baby and you would remove yourself from your home and go live with your father until he gets his head on straight? what about your problems? you're in love with a man who can't step up to the plate, be a man and take care of his responsibilities (you and his unborn baby) and stop living a lie, and all you seem to worry about is what he needs. if it were me i'd tell him to !@#$ off and change my number and all the locks and move on and find a man who isn't afraid to be real.

  i'm sorry to sound harsh but that's just wrong. anyway that's one of many opinions. good luck.

  because i have a sense of humor about the many failed prophecies of the jw's, i've always wanted some ex-jw merchandise with some class and humor to go with it.

  i've considered marketing a few of my ideas.....coffee mugs, shirts, etc.

  there are so many areas to go (no blood, no military service, college = devil's propaganda, etc.
