  Do you meditate?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i don't have any particular method or system but i'm often happy in my own company.

  i value periods of solitude when i can just drift off and follow my own thoughts.. maybe it's not much more than daydreaming but a glass of scotch and some tunes can sometimes light up a memory or bring a hazy idea into focus.

  peace and quiet are my luxuries, what about you guys?.

  I practice mediation and mindfulness. In fact I'm headed to my yoga class and we always do a meditation and receive Reiki afterwards.

  Parrots Turn Carnivores.....Media Article ..Sure to get J.W.`s all excited .

  the first part was a heading in the herald sun newspaper tues.sep.15 ,2015 melbourne victoria .. , lorikeets and other parrots are becoming meat eaters---and researchers want to know why.. griffith university professor darryl jones has heard the herbivorous bird was eating mince left out by bird feeders in brisbane (australia ) "in two weeks i had about 500 emails from across the country all saying lorikeets were eating meat" he said.. that will surely get the faithful thinking the big "a" is almost upon us.. in the 1960`s i was told that buzzards and other carnivorous birds were laying twice as many eggs than was normal proving the big "a' was almost here.. here we go again.

  We had a Nanday Conure that would eat anything. Shrimp, turkey, lamb, number 2 pencils. She also drank beer and vodka with orange juice.

  someone suggested i post an introductory thread.

  i am a married, rather young grandma of four precious rugrats, ages 2-9. i guess our only child son and his only child wife didn't want their own kids to be "onlies".

  my other half and i married rather young (18 &22) and will be celebrating 31 years together this summer.. i am sort of add, keep thinking i am still 28, love my husband now more than ever, and am so glad i woke up and left the crazy cult.. my husband and i began studying months after marrying and then decided to take the dunk.

  i wanted to know what problems you have learned about dating in the "truth" acording to there policy.

  i feel like you dont really know someone until you live with them.

  also some put on a false personality until they get what they want i.e.

  I remember 2 folks that got married after a short wts approved courtship, went on their honeymoon and came back each having gained about 20 pounds. My guess is that once they got the sex over with, they discovered that they really didn't like each other or, at least had nothing in common, except food.
