  Imagine listening to music, watching videos, sending and receiving email, locating friends and family, playing interactive games and much more, all from your mobile phone.

  I'm sorry, but to "imagine" these apps and actually having them is two different things. Some of us may have lived in an area and had the opportunity to actually live the above scenario. The technology? Ricochet. Its average download speed was in the 175kbps range, and sometimes surpassing 300kbps with the Sierra Wireless Aircard 400. And btw, those mentioned speeds were not the "theoretical burst data rate" that cellular companies tout, but rather the seen user data rate. Go to http://www.aerienetworks.com to see the Ricochet redeployment progress.

  Besides, who wants to surf the web on a 1 1/2" screen?? Give me my HP Jornada 720 anyday for handheld portability and wireless internet access. Too bad it is not being used much these days since Metricom went bankrupt. I guess I have to wait for Aerie to bring Ricochet back.

  I just about got my ass kicked over the weekend after making a snide remark to my "April Aux. Pioneer" wife. For starters, I was not in a very good mood to begin with. Then the issue of "who is going to mail in the taxes" came up. Seeing as I work full time and frequently travel outside of the city in which we live on a moments notice, I told her that she would need to mail the taxes off. "What? I've already got plans to go out in service all day Monday! I don't have the time to wait in line at the P.O.! Can't you do it during your lunch?" As it is, she does not work. Sooooo, needless to say that pretty much pissed me off even further. I snapped(I really do have good self-control, not sure what happened here), and told her "if you didn't have to get that damn almighty quota in, maybe you could make the time to do it!!" Oh my God, what did I just say? Her response to that was, "Whaaaat? Oh, so you don't think that my going in service means anything? Is that what you think? Well, it means a lot to me!(tears starting to form at this point) I just turned my head away and kept driving. I didn't say a single word later on that day. But it sure did feel good after I said that. I think I was in shock myself for saying it.

  Amazing how upset jw's can get when you attack their "funtime." Hopefully, that "quota" remark will stick with her and she will think more about it in the future.

  Jourles, still feeling the effects....

  What the heck. I just hope there are no super-detectives on this board that I know. Let me see, how can I describe where I went without giving TOO MUCH information away?

  "East County," CA
  "High Country," CO

  And a couple others that I should not disclose; maybe in a year or two from now.

  Jourles, still waiting to see if someone here went to a hall that I did.

  just when you think your immune to the pain from family members shunning you get a surprise.

  my sister hasn't talked or communicated with us for nearly 2 years.

  in november my mom bought her granddaughter ashley a beautiful doll.

  Sorry to hear about that. I can only imagine your sister looks upon that doll as a Smurf. She probably thinks that the doll will come to life and turn into Chucky and kill her entire family since it came from a wretchedly wicked apostate(we know better). I know that is how my mother would view it. She panics whenever something goes wrong in the house. She immediately goes on a search for anything she has bought recently and throws it out as it could have been handed down from a "demon possessed" person.

  Whacked if you ask me.

  Hey, if you read the young girl's shirt, it says Rand Cam - the WTS's "in-the-closet" military company. Not really, it says Band Camp, but in almost every shot it looks exactly like Rand Cam.

  Thanks for the responses folks. I never thought of myself as being a "vivid" illustrator in writing - I am not sure where this post came from! I guess I should take more time in writing my posts from now on! With this last memorial, the scenes were still fresh in my mind and away I wrote. I will try to provide a report from the two-day assembly this weekend if there is anything new(there probably will not be).

  I would like to contribute more, but with my time, I could really only give fredhall one-liner responses, and that is not me. Again, thanks for the nice comments and I will try to provide some info on the CA this weekend. I will try and remember to bring my digital audio recorder just in case something is said that is worth rementioning.

  Haven't you read about the Tacoma parking lot scandal? Venice may be able to provide a bit more information about this. But in a nutshell, the WTS KEPT THE MONEY from collecting contributions for parking that was supposed to go to the city. I believe that they were to not even collect money for parking, but don't hold me to that statement.

  here is the scenario: god is bored one day and says to himself " lets give all the poor saps down below something to think about.lets give everyone on earth the opportunity to have one question answered truthfully" so that is my question,if you had the chance to have one question answered that you always wanted to know what would it be ?

  any response counts and if you want to get goofy go nuts!

  i would like to know if there really is life in outer space...

  Jourles: Hey God, could you please post your response to my question in the New York Times?

  GOD: Um, sure. Why not. Shoot.

  Jourles: I think I already know the answer to my question but, is the WTBTS really your earthly organization? Explain.

  GOD: Are you sure you want to waste your question on something as stupid as this? I mean, the answer is already glaring you in the face.

  Jourles: I know, but I figure there are several other billion people out there that must have another question that I was thinking about asking, and I did not want to be redundant in asking twice. Besides, I am only thinking of the 6 million little people that won't listen to anyone here on the earth anyways.

  GOD: Well ok, if you insist on wasting your question....
