okay, so i know it's not pc to be excited about a storm like hurricane frances, but i reckon since i'm stuck with it anyway, i may as well make the most out of it, hey?

we are just now getting the first feeler bands from the storm...the wind is gusting hard, blowing the rain in almost horizontal sheets.

it's so cool!

Batten down the hatches Dana, now you'll see the real strength!

I'm on pins and needles here wondering if I'll make it home (get off @ 8:30 am, 2 hour drive) before the wind is 60 mph when they close the bridges. To get to the beach are where we live is by bridge. East, west and north. Ahhh, the price of paradise. lol!

Please let us know when you can Dana that everything is ok. If you stay home, be sure to have acess to your attic if the water comes up into your house. Hey! there's a lot of water being dumped by Frances.

Hugs to you and the kids and to Outnfree (for worrying about #2, hope she's ok)

Ok, back to work.

I tried to be such a good dubie. I was a true believer through and through.

You don't know what freedom is until you realize you didn't have any.

The National Anthem, and JW related social dorkiness

by Netty in

jw
friends

we went to a college football game tonight.

i thoroughly enjoyed the singing of the national anthem.

stood up, without a 2nd thought that there should ever be a reason why i shouldnt.

Joyzabel

I wonder how many other things out there, are just givens, but we have no idea to do them, thanks to our upbringing

Good question, Netty.

I've noticed it is the little nuances of situations that I need to catch up on. But having a sense of humor and being able to laugh at myself helps. People haven't quite figured out how to respond when I blame it on "just getting out of a cult"! lol But it gives me an oppertunity to explain how JW's are a mind-control group.

The Friends?

by Farkel in

when i was a little dubbie we used the expression "the friends" to describe fellow dubbies.

we would say things like "she's one of the friends," or ask questions like "is he one of the friends?

is this terms still used in that fashion in dubland?

Joyzabel

I liked it best in the movie "Life of Bryan" where someone refers to everyone as siblings.

I did it!!

by Scully in

i finally gave all my meeting clothes the heave-ho!!

i've been on a closet cleaning binge and finally decided it was time to donate all of these old things to a local women's shelter.

i figured some of these ladies may have nothing decent to wear if they need to go job hunting, so my old meeting clothes, shoes, and handbags would at least serve a noble purpose in their recycled lifetimes.. for some reason, i hung on to them for the last several years, knowing full-well that i would never set foot in a kingdom hall ever again.

Joyzabel

Good for you, Scully.

Talk about being able to spot a "fundy" look in clothing now! People who dress like fundamentalist (aka, JW's etc) give me the creeps. Poor things, they look like mind-controlled people. I'm sure you don't want to give that impression at interviews. lol
