My son is there! Lucky Kid!!!!! Along with nearly 500,000 others! What a party!
I used to live very close to what now is called the Downsview Park... it used to be a military base and was decommissioned... it is the same place the pope's big events were held when he came to Toronto... both times... huge land parcel, and accessible... but the traffic is gonna be a nightmare!
I hope the parking thing works out for the kids... they reserved a parking space at my old school.... lol... they reserve them by liscence plate number... it will be interesting to see if that worked out...
I will be watching by simulcast... but I wish I could be there... I love the Stones! One of my Faves... too bad I hadda work... oh well...

Do you ever get them at the door?
by MrsQ inok, i have been 'out' for about 9 years, now.
in all that time i have lived in 4 different states.
i have only had two visits from jw's during that time and both times they were from spanish congregations...the first time because my boyfriend at the time was mexican-american and someone told them we spoke spanish...the second time because my next door neighbors spoke spanish and they came to my place accidentally.. at any rate, both times as soon as they found out we spoke english, they scurried away and apologized for bothering us.

Oh no.... no..no...no... they don't come to my door.. ever.... lol
They're afraid they might catch satanitis here... hahahahahah
It's been 6 years and counting! Wahoo! I wish just once one of them would.. but... I think they know what they'd be in for if they ever did... lol
both barrels man! heheheheh... I honestly think that they know they can't refute my arguments... and I'm pretty good at putting them on the spot.. I was at the KH and I've had 6 years practice out of it... (I wish we had an emoticon that raises and lowers it's eyebrows... like groucho marx.... lol)

I remember his movies, especially the ones with Bing Crosby... My sister and I would always watch Saturday Night at the Movies with Elwy Yost and have a big bowl of popcorn and big bottle of juice or pop... Bob Hope was definately a favourite.. he had such a way with his humour... I've loved him since I was a little girl.
Well, everyone has their time, and Bob had a great time...
Sad he's gone though...
Bye Bob..

Bob Hope dead at 100 Last Updated Mon, 28 Jul 2003 15:36:20
LOS ANGELES - Legendary comic Bob Hope died Sunday night at the age of 100. His family was at his bedside when he died of pneumonia at his home in Toluca Lake, California.
- FEATURE: Bob Hope: Thanks for the memory
Bob Hope entertaining the troopsHe turned 100 two months ago.
His daughter, Linda, described her father's death as "beautiful, serene and peaceful." She was at his bedside with other members of the family. "He gave us each a kiss, and that was it."
Hope was a friend of presidents and generals and a lifelong golf fanatic. He entertained troops around the world in many wars, performing at army bases and on the decks of fighting ships.
Linda HopeA typical Hope joke: "I stopped off in Paris on my way here. They had quite a few artists there, sketching the girls in a show I saw. I thought I'd try it but they threw me out – they said no fair tracing."
His latest war effort was in the first Gulf War in the early 1990s.
"Today America lost a great citizen," said U.S. President George W. Bush. "Bob Hope made us laugh. He lifted our spirits. Bob Hope served our nation. We will mourn the loss of a good man."
- JOIN THE DISCUSSION: Share your thoughts on this story
Early on, he starred in a string of "Road" movies, with other stars such as the late Bing Crosby, a longtime friend.
It was in 1938, on a Paramount radio show, that Hope introduced his trademark theme song Thanks for the Memory.

so i'll drive up there this next coming sunday, stressed to the eyeballs with all the traffic, making wrong turns, panicking when the traffic gets too heavy in central london, wondering if i'm following the right turns, stopping and looking at my a-z, wishing my family we're still with me.

Hey Scoob...
Your posts in this topic got me reminiscing..(sp?) To say when I was young that I was naive is saying the least. I had a fixed expectation in my mind of what I thought my life was supposed to be like as opposed to what I was living. I remember the expectations....I remember having the impression that it was supposed to be like following a map... Hindsight is 20/20.... and I was never very good with directions.... Having no real reference points to get there and just trying to get through it all left me feeling quite lost.... It's like living in a no man's land and you feel like your in limbo... but really your not... your making decisions... they make your feet move and all of a sudden, life blooms!
My father was quite an intelligent man, and my mom, well, she had problems... besides Star Trek and the news... we didn't watch much on TV... hey, it was the '60's... trust me.. I didn't miss much....We read alot in our family.... and I grew to admire people like Ghandi, Churchill, and the character Spock.... you know, those brilliant, wise sage kinda people... and I wanted to emulate that.... Then, when I was a little older... about 23... I attended this stupid three day seminar... it was about goal orientation... time management... you know, expensive crappy company sh*te.... and I learned about "Integrity". I know, I know.... I heard the word... looked it up in the dictionary, thought I saw it applied in people around me, and long story short.... I had a goal! Can you say sucker? I was young and stupid, what can I say? (Is it drafty in here?.... I feel like I'm walkin around in me undies )....*shakes head and sighs*...I was so attracted to the "altruism" and "purity" of it all... Well, I gotta tell ya... Integrity is quite the task master.... and man, did I put myself through it! (That's part of the reason I was attracted to JWs... I thought they had integrity too) I was naive as a puppy still wet behind the ears and just as fragile..... But, I learned the hard way... like most people on that particular journey do.... and now I'm not so wet behind the ears .... lol....(Have you heard the expression, be careful what you wish for?)
I learned a lot from my experience and found out that being that sort of individual, wasn't what I thought it was going to be in the first place ... Quite frankly most people who "sell" that idea... are cons ..... could I have been more mistaken? I think not.... ... I also learned that I wasn't too far from the kind of person I wanted to be all along ....certainly not a Ghandi, Churchill or Spock... but not lacking in some of the qualities that attracted me to them in the first place. I learned it's not about appearances or even expectations or that wonderful picture of who you think you should be... it's really just about accepting the path... and that's about accepting yourself.... you... the guy you see in the mirror every single day....
It's hard to hold two completely opposing ideals in your hands and try to live your life between them. That perfect picture in your mind of who you ought to be is completely at odds with who you are... I suggest you go with who you are... move from that point. No one knows you like you do, and the other is just a projection... explore a bit.. see what makes you happy...
Good luck with it all... okay... I'm pullin me pants up now....

Hi Jayson....
I checked what I could on it, and it appears to have nothing to do with scientology... whew... I'm also quite careful when dealing with cults now.. especially after leaving the WT.... They are quite insidious...
Thanks for explaining your experience... I appreciate that you took the time to do so... Apparently there was someone on the board who may have been a scientologist and was accused of baiting people into discussions... I was just making sure. Hope you don't mind...
As for the questionnaire... it's interesting... but a bit probing for answers in such a public domain... but it's certainly worth private consideration... Thanks for providing it... researching the links was interesting too...

Need some computer security help please
by Bendrr ini've recently switched from dsl to cable internet access.
monday evening i went to sign on to yahoo messenger and got the message that my account had been locked "for security reasons".. yesterday i finally found a phone number and called yahoo about it.
the guy verified all my info and told me that someone had tried to use my yahoo screenname and had entered an incorrect password 10 times in a row, thus triggering the security lock on my yahoo id.

Hey Bendrr...
Wow... sound like a handful and a half... if you have xp you should be able to set up different users and you should be able to password them... you should have a firewall... to protect your puter from hackers... get a good one... they run pretty easily and you can get used to them fast...
Also, change all your passwords, set up a new hotmail account. If it's from the outside, your puter and your stuff has already been violated... sorry, but they can have access to it all...
Another suggestion I have about miss I am right is that you can tell her that you are worried about another intrusion and that you have passworded your puter so she can't have access and also since your personal info is on the puter... you've changed your locks to make sure your secure... just tell her the whole thing gave you the willies and your determined to feel safe... If she argues with you, just tell her, hey, I pay the rent here... it's my business and if you don't like it, tough... If she continues... just tell her end of subject... every time... If she's snooping around in your computer stuff... then it's still snooping... she can't justify it, but she can play little miss innocent... let her know there's a consequence... and if it wasn't her, you'll be protecting yourself from someone unknown... better safe than sorry...
Hope this helps

Hi Jayson...
I was wondering the website you got this article from... could you post a link?
I'm not sure exactly what the term irreligious means.. you can be irreligious and be a scientologist... or participate in many other groups... I hope you don't mind... I'm just curious... but the link would be greatly appreciated...

How to Think
by Nathan Natas inthis is not intended as a "shot" at anyone.
during our time with the watchtower bible & tract society, we were never instructed in this critical life skill.
those of us who did not persue "higher education" because it was discouraged or forbidden may also never had had an opportunity to consider this information.
