  My hardcore JW-preteen relatives asked me to take them shopping on Black Friday, go figure.

  Serenity, i think you could find some steals in the stores you listed. Macy's is having a monster sale and cardholders get an additional 20% off. Nordies will be great for shoes and bags, their clothing is meh even at the outlet. I've gotten nice bags from Loehmans in the past but my local stores are messy. I went to TJMaxx and Marshalls last night, was mostly in the houseware section. Nice stuff, no sales tho. Happy hunting!

  Doubtfully Yours, I'm not Blondie but I will comment anyway.

  Blondie's weekly WT reviews are open for ALL to comment on. Why don't you highlight her out of context comments and post a rebuttal on her threads? As long as you stay on topic, I'm sure she will not mind. I'm looking forward to reading what you write this week.

  I can't really seek professional help. Any self-help suggestions for depression?

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really don't have the time or the finances for a professional psychiatrist.

  i know i am depressed and i know why.

  the problem, as i have said before in one or two other threads, is that the solution won't really change my depression and may, in fact, make it worse.. so i am resigned to being depressed but would like to know if there are some coping techniques or other suggestions.

  Sorry that you are dealing with this. Anyone suffering from depression or any mental illness should seek professional help from a PCP, LSW or Therapist. Barring that, there are some things that you could incorperate into your lifestyle that will make you feel better.

  Journaling allows you to get your feelings out in the open, often times you already know the solution to an issue. Writing it out helps you to see it clearly.

  Reading some of the books suggested on this thread.

  Aerobic exercise releases endorphins, you will feel and look better. Yoga and pilates are good for the mind.

  Supplements like EFA, St John's Wort, SAMe can have a mild chemical affect, not endorsed by the FDA tho.

  Eliminating excessive caffein and sugar from your diet will help your mood.

  HTH!

  Is it fashionable to wear animal print clothing? JWN ladies, do you wear that kind of stuff?

  by miseryloveselders in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend of mine made the statement that only old women wear animal print clothing.

  she said this some weeks ago, and ever since i have been noticing that it is the more mature of the mature population still wearing leopard print, and zebra print fashions.

  granted occasionally i see younger gals wearing that stuff too, but its usually as an accessory such as a shawl.

  I like animal print in small doses to punch up an outfit, I limit it to one item in the look. My wardrobe includes leopard print ballet flats, leopard print stilletto, leopard print skinny belt, zebra print pencil skirt and leopard print scarf.

  T-shirts with animal illustrations, faux fur outerwear and faux leather clothing...not feeling these at all.

  at the circuit assembly this weekend i noticed two guys reinstated within the last year were both serving as attendants.

  i thought brothers had to be "exemplary" to do that kind of work.

  have the requirements changed?

  I wonder if sisters in the cleaning departments, or lost and found, use excuses like we do so they can get up for a little while and hang out too?

  Hellz yeah! I volunteered for everything (cleaning, food service, contribution boxes) just get out of listening to that drivel and to socialize. The contribution boxes were the most fun, my friends and I have contest to see who would get the most phone numbers. Good times..

  I've seen this as well. They are using boys in the sound booth at the KH, newly baptised and reinstated men and the 'weird' brothers. Desperate indeed.
