Rarely check this site anymore but was wondering why JW's parked across the street and only came to my house. Haven't been to a meeting in around 15 years. Didn't answer the door. Will have to warn hubby to watch out for the rest of the week. Good to know that this will not go on indefinitely. Thanks guys! Knew someone here would know what was going on. Isn't the internet great?

Saw TSO last night. It was absolutely incredible! Hubby and I both agreed that it was the best concert we have ever attended. We will definitely attend every year from now on. Three hours of nonstop energy. The sound was the best I have ever heard. Why can't other bands have sound systems like this? TSO is a must see for anyone who loves rock. Truly one of the best evenings of my life.

"haughtingly beautiful" Those are the exact words that I used to describe this song on another message board. Sure hope I get to see them next week.

Sylvia, I think the song you are refering to in you first post is called "Christmas Canon Rock". It is on "The Lost Christmas Eve" CD in case you want to purchase it. I had quite a time figuring out what the name of this song was. It is my favorite Christmas song.

NO! NEVER! Jeff, I am more of a lurker than poster and have followed some of your posts. I really understand what you are going through and just wanted to say that I think it is wonderful that you have taken on the responsibility of raising your grandkids. I am sure it is difficult yet very rewarding.
Hubby and I are both 56 and are helping raise our two granddaughters ages 3 and 5. Our daughter is a single mom. We are fortunate that she has grown to be responsible and holds a decent full time job. We babysit while she works, has appointments or occasionally goes our for the evening. The kids spend most of their waking hours with us as she works a lot of evenings. At times it is difficult but I always say that I get paid with multitudes of hugs, kisses and 'I love you's'.
Of course we have lost all of our so called 'friends'. This is harder for hubby as he is much more social than I am. I have always been more of a loner. We have each other, our two adult kids and our grandkids. We have gotten to know neighbors that we chat with when we take the grandkids for walks but really have very little social life. To tell you the truth, I am so tired when the grandkids go home that I really don't much care. Hubby does have some buddies that he plays poker with and I am glad for that. I often wonder what life will be like when the grandkids are grown and have their own lives. It is sometimes a very scary thought.
Sorry for rambling. I am not usually one to post more than a few words but this just struck a cord with me. I have also been meaning to say 'hello' to you for ages. I wish you and your wife all the best.

personal beliefs re: life after death...none since leaving JW.... You?
by oompa ini do not have a clue anymore.
having just accepted my own mortality, what the hey does happen at death?
i never thought about it before, because i did not have to.

My logical brain says that death is the opposite of life. Life=existence so death =nonexistence. My heart hopes that I will be reunited with my loved ones.
