  Well, the year is nearly through and with Christmas nearly upon us it will soon be time to be thinking about those New Years Resolutions...
  anybody got any thoughts on this yet? Any vices to shed? Any habits to get rid of? Any dreams to fulfill? Aims to achieve?

  I think my list will go as follows...

  1. Do my assignments as soon as get them, not waiting till the night before and then doing them in a panic...

  2. Pack myself off with a healthy lunchbox everyday instead of chocolate spread sandwiches, chocolate cake, chocolate biscuits, chocolate milk... you get the general idea....

  3. Get my kids to eat more fruit, even if I have to bribe them...

  4. Mend the broken light fitting in the bathroom so I dont have to bath in the dark (only been broken for about 6 months.. lol , the romantic appeal of bathing by candlelight does wear off eventually!

  5. Dust off the old sewing machine that was once new... and work out how to use the damn thing at last!

  6. Have more fun more often!!!!!!!

  Anyone else got any plans for 2002?

  On the subject of colds and flu ..... anyone got any good remedies for them? Colds in particular? I've got a sore throat tonight and an awful feeling I have one on the way, just got over one two weeks ago too . Got lots of shifts to do next week and need a good remedy to get me through it. Nothing alcoholic though. Don't want to be drunk in control of a bedpan....

  What I enjoy doing is watching the JW family from across the road going off to their meeting looking oh-so-happy (heavy sarcasm there by the way) with kids in tow who would rather be out playing or watching tv (or even tidying their rooms for that matter...) and then I enjoy my Sunday morning pottering around and relaxing, plenty of coffee and choccie biccies, Sunday newspapers and colour supplements, coming here. And then I see them traipsing back from the hall and field service looking even happier (more sarcasm of course) and the kids looking very fed up. Boy, do I appreciate my Sundays now. And Tuesday evenings, and Thursday evenings, and every morning of the week when I would drag my heels on the ministry.... Never again.

  And I've just realised that Xmas Day is on a Monday this year - there will be a lot of very pleased JWs this year then, they can have their roast dinner with all their trimmings (just because turkey is cheap this time of year and theres no work today... blah, blah, all the usual excuses for having a pseudo Xmas dinner!) and they can even have their 'present day', without having the day interrupted with a meeting!

  Another Christmas confession.

  by Mulan in

  2. experiences

  last week, i told about how i watched the christmas eve sky, for santa claus, after my parents became witnesses, thinking he just didn't come to our house anymore.. here is another thing i did.

  all through school (my parents became dubs before i went to kindergarten) i participated in decorating the room for christmas.

  i sang all the carols, and ate the goodies that were brought my the moms.

  A sad observation made last week whilst waiting to collect children from school - all the JW parents were absent from the school gates on a number of occasions when Xmas activities were going on, carol service rehearsals, nativity rehearsals, decoration making, cake baking etc, a real shame that these poor kids miss out on so much fun. And all because their parents are mislead, my heart goes out to those kids. And to think you are only young once....

  My Grandfather-hours from death; what 's next?

  by ashitaka in

  2. friends

  my mother called me and asked me to pick up my sister because my grandfather is going to pass away in a few hours.

  i don't know why this is moving me so much, but it is.

  it's like my history is passing away.

  ashitaka - my thoughts are with you, I lost a grandfather just three weeks ago so I can understand and sympathise completely with the situation you are facing.

  It is so strange when you lose someone, suddenly there is a gap in the family which can be so hard to come to terms with, I just try to console myself with the fact that I spent time with him just the day before he died and he always knew that he was loved, even though we never really told each other!

  As for what happens next, I have no ideas. And for now I am happy to not know, maybe that will change when I am faced with my own end. For now I am content to just wait and see.

  I hope all your memories of him will be happy ones and remember that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

  Just to add my best wishes also, and a big welcome. I da'd just over a year ago and I have never been happier, it was tough in the first few weeks, months even, but it is certainly worth the effort. Life is good - enjoy it!

  in a previous post, some of you talked about your current age and number of years married.

  subtract and voila, many of you married young, by which i mean before 20 years of age.

  congrats to all of you couples, married long and short!

  When I first met 'individual' I was only 4 days past my 13th birthday, we got married when I was 18, he was 25, 3 kids by the time I was 23..... and still very happily married 12 and a half years later. Love at first sight is real and it can last! Despite the JW influence!!
