a search for the best laundry soap turned up that it was tide.
tide is very expensive, though.
baking soda.
WoW,
Sounds like a good money saving recipe Satanus.
I'm tired of spending alot on gentle detergents and double rincing everything. I have over sensetive skin and strong scents give me a headache.
Like the suggestion on the fabric softener too. I can have some fun with my essentail oil collection using this method.
Thanks for posting this.

i am not particularly interested in the wtbts and their current doings.
or doctrine, or debates about god/evolution.
i am more interested in people, especially ex-jws like me.
Dear happy@last,
I hope everything goes well for you today. I admire your courage and strength to stand up for yourself , even if it has been many years. I hope you find the desired closer.
How you wrote of the snow falling gave me a sense of calm. Maybe this is your touchstone for inner peace during this time.
My thoughts are with you today.
Let us know how it went .
Hugs

Hi there Hortensia,
Funny, I was thinking about you today, wondering how you were doing.
Sounds like you had a mixed bag on your trip. The birds sound beautiful . I'm happy to hear all went well with your family.
Double curses to the sick dude on the plane.
fun times.. a year and a month have passed since i moved in to the house where my cousin deb and her husband bobby live.. i had a small but comfortable room, tv, etc.. a nice cozy family situation, you might say....right?.
i pay $600 a month to defray expenses.. hunky dory.. sure.
until the first few eruptions!.
just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.
one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.
when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.
I picked my name from a favorite book
[hey there unstopableravens, you may have to change your name to unstopabletears. Or I may be changing mine to eva luna-tic. either way one of us will be crying ]

I think it's 87.6% are made up
this is obviously a question for parents.
i have made my decision, but i am interested in your views and feelings.
if you are a young person, i would be interested in your thoughts and feelings too.
I agree with Tater. A big fat NO!
I say this from raising children and being one too.
If you are worried about some dangerous behavior, take them to a therapist. They have to report it.
Most important, you need to establish trust. They should feel comfortable talking to parents. If they find out you have read private writings, you ruin all that and may never get it back. It also can set up a life long feeling of distrust, from my view.
As a parent, we may not realize things have changed , our children are growing up. We need to learn new ways of parenting.
All the best to you Data

so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.
doorbell rings.
now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.
I had a pop-in by 2 elders . I saw them from an upstairs window, so I didnt answer.
A week later I got a call about having a Christmas tree in my living room.
I laughed , saying it was a ficus with lights.
They had to look into my windows to see my houseplant.
Nerds!
Ok Rip, who needs to fly out to Amsterdam when you live in California. Just dont dare me..........;-)
several years ago, whenever i got a talk slip i would get really nervous but accept it and work on it almost immediately.
of course that was way back when i still believed it all.. now they gave me a #3 talk out of the blue about a month ago and i had forgotten all about it till the meeting night.
i really thought about not showing up at all but at the last minute, i decided to go.. so when i got there the meeting had already started and so i just stayed in the back looked at the info, found 2 scriptures and then without any notes i went up and gave the stupid talk!.
I dont ever remember writing one. LOL
My mom always did them. I joined the Ministery School at 6 years old. She contiuned to do them until I moved out. She could write them out in an hour.
Later, changing congregations so often, I always asked/begged to just be a house holder. I hated everything about talks. Just getting that slip kept me up for nights.
I would imagine all the things I would rather do instead of a talk, like going to the dentist and haveing work done with out a pain shot.
Sometimes when I see 4x5 cards I still get the heebee jeebees
I see alot of kids started at 6
