  My mother, a state registered nurse, worked at Jah-Jirah back in the 90's. Even back then she said the management was inadequate, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

  What did you think was going to happen?!?

  by Simon in

  2. humour

  so my wife has to make some home-made cookies for a work x-mas cookie exchange (i've told her to grab a handful of the receptionists 'cause hers were nice last year).. anyway.

  being a supportive husband i volunteer to help and my definition of "help" is anything to do with chocolate - specifically melting it to dip the cookies in.. "ok", she says, "thanks!".

  i can't believe my luck.

  I still ask to lick the lick the spoon and scrape bowl out when Jane has made up a cake mix. If she gives it to one of the kids I get very sulky!

  YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

  by compound complex in

  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  I'm afraid after 40 odd years of having the bible rammed down my throat I have no desire to read another book full of BS.

  I am a Sceptical Rationalist, and an Atheist, yet I have Faith !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i lead an evidence based life, in that, if i have to make a decision over buying something, or a certain course of action, i will look at the evidence.. if someone tells me something is true, i examine the evidence, using critical thinking skills.. and yet i have faith, not faith as some have, believing that something is true without satisfactory evidence, but i have faith that all humans are of equal value, that the right way to live is doing the most good and the least harm, that love is better than hate, that peace is better than war.. so, i am a sceptical, rational,humanist, atheistic person of faith..

  I thought your faith was centred on the ability of mankind to continue making decent beer.

  Perry I love the picture of all those species of parrot. Do you really believe 2 of each species were carried on the ark or that there was a process of super evolution subsequent to the flood that resulted in the enormous variety we see today?

  I hope the surgery went well Perry. I am surprised that prayer alone didn't work!
