some of you may know that my parents were expected for "dinner" on thanksgiving day.

well i really don't think its going to happen now.

i called my dad last night becuase my mother, now visiting my kids in south texas and bringing them here to see me, said they had "stuff to do on thursday".

andyman stated in another thread:this got me thinking about the change in the 1914 generation.

i remember how this was a very important point when i was studying back in the late 80's.

it was explained to me over and over that this system would defenitly end before the generation of 1914 passed away.

Kudos to Tony Blair, UK PM
by Amazing in

... not because he supports action regarding iraq, for that is a debatable issue.

rather, it is because tony blair has proven to be a stand-up statesman who has been able to work well with two very different us administrations, clinton then bush ... while keeping his own moral clarity and vision.

if tony blair represents the majority of british sentiments, then the usa can thank its lucky stars as having such a close friend and ally ... and americans need to better appreciate our british brethern.

here's a concern... i've been shunned by my family for going on 3 months... and so what?

is it wrong that i don't seem to miss them?

i know that this can be painful for many and i wonder why it doesn't seem to bother me?

to mark this weekend's district convention in sydney, australia, we are asked to cast our minds back in time and remember those district convention days with a certain nostalgia.

so, are you ready to begin that walk down memory lane?

settle back with a cuppa with me and reflect awhile.

i was just curious if any of you growing up in the truth were overly scared of armageddon?.

when my mom came into the org.

in the 70's,the only so called kids book was the paradise lost book.the pictures in that book scared the pants off me!at night when i was lying in bed,if i would hear a loud plane go over head,or there was a thunder storm,i was sure it was the start of armageddon and i would be sooooo scared.i was wondering if i was the only one overly scared,or if their were others.. also,was anyone out there extremely frightened of the demons?i would hear all these crazy experiences of people having problems with demons,and i was sooo frightened they would come bother me.maybe i was just a big old scaredycat,but if any one else has any experiences,please post them!
