martha's way #l. stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.. my way:.
just suck the ice out of the bottom of the cone, for pete's sake, you are probably lying on the couch with your feet up anyway!.
#2. to keep potatoes from budding place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.. my way:.
Mashed potatoes will now be replacing the antibacterial soap in the handy dispenser next to my sink.
Will you use the Hungry Jack potato mix, or will you use fresh potatoes for hand cleaner. Have you tried the Hungry Jack potato mix for laundry detergent or dishwasher soap? What have been your results in doing so?

i'm very cool about not putting many limits on what my 2yr-old says or does.
if you don't know, then axe somebody.. she was hanging out with me in my bedroom, rummaging thru a box of clothes that's bigger'n she is.
the clothes are either too small or too old-fashioned(?
Awww, what a sweet story. Sound like my house too, sort of. When Jessica and her daughter spend the day here, the house gets messy. Jessica tries to straiten up, but I remind her that she did not make a certain mess. I tell her daughter to pick up Kermet, Mickey, or what ever toys she has dragged out of her soon-to-be room. She is learning to pick up toys all by herself. I remind Jessica that I don't want to have a lazy daughter, and the only way she will get it right is to do it herself.
You are right, yelling is never to be tolerated in the home.

caller id ain't for me .
by barry lewis.
I like having caller ID. I am sick of telemarketers talking to me, so that is no longer a problem. And speaking of which, one just tried to call me.

patriotism isn't only by the flag?.
by robyn blumner.
(c) st. petersburg times, published november 11, 2001. the american flag has truly come into its own in recent weeks, replacing suction-cupped garfield's as the accouterment of choice for our cars.. everywhere you look, the flag is hanging out of car windows-unless there is a football game and the local team flag takes precedence.
The flag should be a symbol of America, land of liberty, pluralism and tolerance. But too often it has been hijacked by commercial interests to hawk goods, by politicians to hide behind and by bullies to justify violence against those who are different.
I agree, the flag represents one of the greatest countries on this Earth. I was sickened by all of the mini flags and bumper stickers that started appearing our of nowhere. Where was this pride before September 11?
Now regarding your position (or at least the position of the article) on Jehovah's Witnesses not saluting the flag, I agree with that as well. It is sad that Jehovah's Witnesses in particular were unjustly attacked by overly patriotic U.S. citizens.
However, this unjust action did not last long. Law changes, sometimes for the worst, sometimes for the better. And the law did change. Jehovah's Witnesses no longer have to salute the flag, if they choose not to. Unless another court case makes it to the Supreme Court, it will never again manditory to salute the flag. That is how the U.S. Law works, or did you not know that?
Let's turn the tables for a minute. How about the Jehovah's Witnesses and their allegiance? No, I am not speaking of their allegiance to the United States, or any other country. Nor am I questioning their belief in Jehovah God. I am talking about their allegiance, if not outright worship of the governing body?
If me as a Jehovah's Witness reject the governing body or the watchtower society, I am guilty of treason against the society. And therefore, subject to removal by disfellowship proceedings. Why can't a Jehovah's Witness just worship his/her god as he/she chooses?
In America we have the freedom to do as we choose, salute the flag or not. In the watchtower society, either acknowledge the govening body as God's Prophet, or loose salvation.
I am reminded of the scripture, remove the rafter from your eye, before you remove the straw from mine. So you can see to remove the straw from my eye.
So Jehovah's Witnesses have no room to complain in my opinion about United States Law or their former laws for that matter. If you want an opinion, vote, and get involved in the government.

i know that people have been in the same boat as i am and have felt the same but i still feel very alone tonight.
and very depressed.
i dont think some people understand even here.
Flower,
It is said that "Depression is anger turned inwards." So what exactly are you angry about? I have read most if not all of your threads, and you seem to be very hurt, but not very specific. I am afraid I don't have any specific advice, because I don't know you. However, just posting on this board is no solution. Get out of the house! Take your son, and leave for a couple of hours each day. It does not take much money, or if any, to go have some fun. Have you ever considered that all you need to do is go for a walk?
Have you ever thought about trying to better your life. I gather you live with your parents. It also does not hurt to look for some finiancial aid and go to school. What do you like to do? Do you like fixing your hair? Go to cosmotology school. There are pell grants to cover the cost of school.
I know you did have a web page when you first started posting here. My step-dad is going back to school to learn how to make computers go. He is taking classes over the internet.
Bottom line is you got to get up off your butt and get busy. You will never get anywhere in the position you are in.
Just feeling sorry for yourself is not going to get you anywhere. Again I say, get up off your butt and find something to do.

my path needs to be revamped.. i do plan to have a serious discussion with elders and attend the kingdom hall.
where that will lead, time will tell.. i am not leaving mitch.
even if i did become a jehovah's witness and celibate again he would love me just the same and i him.. you cannot become ungay.
The path that you have decided to take has been one of hurt and frustration for me. I wish you luck in it. Somehow I don't think you will stay on this path. You said that A Common Bond, (Homosexual Jehovah's Witnesses) was not for you. So what is? How will the elders in whatever congregation you go to accept you saying that you are a celebate gay man. I have never heard of a known gay man being an "approved" Jehovah's Witness. Like I said, I wish you luck.

2. you are an inactive publisher and a member of a congregation.. 3. you are an inactive publisher for over 7 years and the congregation.
any congregation.
(this is a pretty good place to be).. 4. you are an inactive publisher for over 7 years and the congregation.
There might be one way to leave and get away with it. If the elders were to come knocking I plan to use this letter. This was posted by Mad Apostate, and it seems to be solid.
