Hello all!
Wonderful Sunny weather is in the forecast for this weekend.
And Spring Break officially begins today here in north Texas (for anyone taking college classes or who has school-age kids.)
Are you planning anything special? An outing? A movie?
I'm still figuring out what I"ll do
Would love to hear from all of you.

remember when you were a kid and you saw the funny bits in shows about how someone hates their job and just goes to work to pay the bills.
i think i've reached that point in my life.. i hate my job.. i used to love the work i do... but the way a corporation crushes your soul and leaves you as an empty husk of your former self has finally taken its toll on me.. i used to look forward to the challenges of work... now i wake up, go to work, do what i have to do to get through the day and then go home.. .
it's totally absurd but i find myself literally fantasizing about winning the lottery so i can get my soul back..
Hi ELse!
Haven't been around here much lately. Sorry to hear that your job is not very fulfilling.
I feel like that sometimes -- like my job is just to pay the bills. The difference for me is I do work with a nice, friendly bunch and
they make it more tolerable. Maybe you can be transferred to another department where you will feel the job description will be more rewarding.
could be just a whim, but highdoses feet are feeling itchy today.
i'm young, unattached was thinking about upping sticks again maybe.. .
can i get any recomendations from anyone?.
Vancouver sounds really nice, Thanks for that video :)
dont you just love reading cocos posts.. i see him as a poster of exquisite refinement and learning.. he composes too you know.
but i will not ask him to send me some of his music anymore.. ah - serenity reigns supreme.. i am actually very happy , coco that your almost suicidally depressive sounding post on the " scottish play" was not a real indication of your mental state.. hb.
When I read COco's writings I feel like I'm taking a leisurely stroll down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
PS. Coco is a "he?" For some reason I thought Coco was a "she" but it's all good.

ever have one of those days..when you go outside,and part of your dogs throat has been ripped out?...
that was the begining of my day... i have no idea what attacked him..whatever it was,was f*cking vicious!
!..there was a 2 inch hole of missing fur and skin on his neck.....and a severed artery......also a 2 inch hole of missing fur and skin on his leg.....and..another severed artery.....there was blood everywhere... the nearest vet is 1 1/2 hours away..i phoned in and told the doctor to be ready for me... i tied the dogs wounds up with tee-shirts to try to minimilize the bleeding..then put a 100 lb bleeding dog,in the back of the truck..........poor dog tried to stand up in the truck..his neck started to gush with blood..i got him to lie down..the bleeding slowed.....i jumped in the truck and drove..that was one long hour and a half... the doctor came out..looked at the dog,ran back in and brought out a stretcher..it took three of us to bring him in so he would`nt move around..that dog has spunk!..lol!!.
scientists create human sperm from stem cellsby alice parktuesday, jul.
07, 2009a colony of human embryonic stem cells is seen on a computer monitor at the university wisconsin-madisondarren hauck / getty.
researchers at newcastle university in england report they have coaxed the first human sperm cells from embryonic stem cells, in a remarkable demonstration of how quickly the field of stem cell science is moving.. .
Dear Big Tex.... that story is kinda strange--but this is an entirely different issue:
There is no way that even scientists can produce "daddy cells" when none exist unless they have very specific stem cells to begin with from which to produce spermatozoa as the scientific report states.
So.... casual contact with another person will not permit anyone to somehow produce reproductive cells, try as they may. Cheek cells or hair cells contain DNA but they are not the same as embryonic stem cells.
If you have only casual contact with someone they can't ever somehow make reproductive cells.
there have been a number of developments over the past few months and they paint an interesting picture.. witnesses can keep dragging themselves to meetings ad infinitum however, the future of the watchtower itself is another story.
the evidence of continuing cash flow problems is now overwhelming.
if you talk to well placed witnesses, most won't deny it but simply blame it on the publishers financial problems.. they have cut off loans to congregations many of whom genuinely need new kingdom halls.
I've been wondering about the Watchtower and where they are getting their cash...loans to KH? or some investments they only know about ?
Whenever I gave away watchtowers I kept forgetting to ask house holders for money for the WWWork.
It seemed to me that if people felt the mags were worth something they would volunteer a cash contribution.

No need to worry about paternity suits:
The cells which are required to produce spermatozoa are "embryonic stem cells."
So, if anyone can be sued it would have to be a tiny embryo in a test tube that hasn't been born yet.

When the self-appointed GB changed their 1914 doctrine without as much as an apology to anybody...
That really did it for me: I was outta there.
When they took out the 1914 thing from their magazine, all I could think about was, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..."

putting on a three piece suit to spend a 90 degree summer day knocking on doors and trespassing!dragging an entire family, including babies and young children to three or four day meetings in an outdoor stadium, living in a seedy motel room for the week.getting home from work and spending the next six hours cramming for a 'theocratic review', getting the entire family ready to go, gulping down dinner, and speeding off to the hall, and then finally getting home around 11 pm, hurrying off to bed so that everyone could get up for work and school in the morning!going to school to explain to the teachers why little johnny can't color pictures of santa, salute the flag of his country, eat birthday cake with all the other 5 year olds, bow his head when prayer is offered, or exchange valentines with all the cute 5 year old girls in class.
and then explaining with grace why he is not immersed in a cult!well, on and on!
these things were typical of my witness life - now i cannot imagine ever doing such silly things, and especially thinking that somehow they would bring pleasure to my god!.
<<<<Getting home from work and spending the next six hours cramming for a 'theocratic review'>>>
That's one thing I never did, during the 15 or so years I was an active dub.
I also rarely "underlined" the WT magazines. The repetitiveness seemed like overkill. After all, the stuff they print is what, third-grade level?
I mean, how difficult is it to just repeat into a microphone some lame answer from a page, verbatim?
