  Bethelites....a real catch ?

  by av8orntexas in

  2. relationships

  ok everyone i'm pretty new here and here's my two cents... one thing i could not figure out was...what was the craze with bethelites ?

  as a reg pioneer supposedly i was a lock for local sis..but from my point of view sisters practically fell over themselves trying to get a piece of these guys.. myself i was never one to let anyone go unoticed.. i was equal opprotunity..especially for the spanish sis's in the spanish cong..speaking of which have any of you guys ever been to one of the spanish conventions ?

  i had to pick my tongue off the ground several times..hehehe.

  Favorite Elvis Song

  elvis is the king baby!

  it is hard to believe that 25 years have passed since elvis' death.

  most his songs are "dated" imho, however, his "style" truly lives on.

  Ugg it's not that sad! Haha! This is not a sympathy seeking thread, it really was minor, and I do chalk it up to two pissy people talking to each other on a Friday morning

  I have confronted her before...not pretty...and it was over stuff far more serious than this...which makes me think double is right and I should just let it go. However, she has said stuff like this, about me being selfish, and un-thankful to my face before. So it's not like she responded to me this morning. She honestly feels I want to do nothing but piss her off.

  ...ahh sweet family life...hahaha!

  I have been in a situation similar to this.

  Frankly, the one you have known longer is unavailable, you said so yourself. You are wishing for something that at the moment can't happen. However it's only natural you have feelings for someone who is in your physical proximity. Does this lessen your attachment to the other one...not at all. However, since a relationship on any physical level is out of the question you are just causing yourself guilt and un-needed confusion. My advice, let the distance serve as a reminder. Don't stop caring for this person, but start dealing with reality and the fact that someone near you (a feesible option for romance) cares about you.

  I would persue that on a deeper level, and allow the long distance relationship to pass into deep devotion, instead of romantic twinges.

  DO U BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even though we were all raised with the firm doctrine that absolutely nothing happens to you after death, (except for those baptized before 1935 of course), does anyone here think that maybe something does happen after we die?

  i've seen some programs about people that have reported having near death experiences.

  while this doesn't offer proof, i find it very strange that one individual, during her nde, repeated a conversation she heard on an entirely different floor in the hospital while she was clinically dead.

  On the phone is my mother. Anyone who pays attention to what I post here, knows we have a strained relationship at best. She and my father are taking a day trip. They will be gone over night, and she wants me to check on the two cats. Not a problem, however--I say, "well, why do they need to be checked on?" Not trying to be sarcastic or bitchy, just asking because if you leave a bowl of food and a large water dish in the garage they will be fine and happy for three days coming and going as they please. She gets pissy and says "they need to be looked in on!" And I said "ok fine, whatever" and she gets pissy and says "So are you going to do it or is it too much work for you?" I say "yes!" and she doesn't say anthing, no goodbye, just clunks the phone down. Ahh, but apparantly did not hang it all the way up. I then hear her ranting to my father about how spoiled I am, and how I never do anything for her, but bend over backwards for anyone else but her, and how smart I think I am, and goes on and on for a solid 3 minute rant about what an awful person I am. When she appeared done, I hung up the phone on my end and went back to work.

  It's always a bit shocking to find out what people really think of you. But I am pissed! My tone probably was grumpy, I will own up to that, but I really don't think what I did deserved that kind of a soap box moment.

  So I am off to go check on the cats, who have been alone a whole 5 hours, god I hope they are ok!! (dripping with sarcasm) and I am pondering leaving a note to the effect of: "Cats fine and dandy. Got your mail. Oh and a bit of advice, the next time you want to talk behind someones back, make sure you hang up the phone first." Nothing bitter, nothing scathing, just a little note, to let her know, I heard everything she said.

  Or should I not even bother? Blow it off? It won't accomplish anything anyway?

  And what the hell? Am I that much of a selfish bitch? Cripes, this disturbs me, I always thought I was nice...

  Describe your emotions with respect to Dolphins???

  by Celtic in

  2. friends

  dolphins, beautiful creatures, have you ever seen one, swam with them or tried communicating with them?

  what relationship do you have or ideally would like to have with dolphins?

  plus if dolphins could communicate with us quite freely, what do you think they might have to say?

  Dolphins are cool. We murder them daily, and yet you don't hear about dolphins attacking people, even though they could easily kill a person if they wanted to.

  SYN did you see that Simpsons episode? The Dolphins come on land and beat the crap out of everyone and take the earth over, forcing humans to return to the sea.

  I am honestly not that impressed by dolphins. I used to be quite taken with them, but now I find them tremendously over rated. I'm all about Tigers now...

  When I was in third grade my dance teacher moved to another small town. My mom told me she could take me if I really really wanted to go, and then told me about how hard it would be, how much gas it would waste, how much it would interfere with everyone elses schedules, and how expensive the lessons and recitle costumes were, so I had better really love it if I wanted to continue.

  I did really love it, ballet was my life, I was convinced I was gonna be a ballarina when I grew up...(being I am only 5-4, probably wouldn't have happened anyway-hahaha!), I had ballarina barbie, toe shoes painted on my walls, I came home and practiced all the damn time even when I didn't have a routine to do, just to be dancing, I only wanted to watch Ballet related movies, cartoons, shows, etc. However, after her totally negative attitude, I decided I would be too much of an inconvience on everyone and with a non-chalant attitude said "nah, I don't need to do it-it's not that big a deal"

  Am I blaming my mom. Kind of. I mean it was my choice, and I wasn't totally honest with her about my feelings, I could have said, "hell yeah ma, you're gonna take me to dance class and you'll like it!" But as an 8 year old, I didn't have that courage, nor the experience to spot my mom's B.S.

  Oh well--that is the one major regret in my life; that I never danced again.
