  ADD, I have learned the things that 'stove' you up in our age bracket is when you perform a new task and use a set of muscles you don't use in your regular activity. Plus, when you rent a jackhammer or cement mixer, etc. you naturally go at it relentlessly. I used an industrial size, backpack leaf blower that I wore for about 5 hours. I had back spasms for 6 months.

  Let me guess. You are putting your donut shop in a retail space that was not a food place previously and are trenching for plumbing and maybe power. Was there an existing class I exhaust hood or do you have to put one in? Are you working with a restaurant equipment company or just buying used stuff?

  Odd that no one mentions Orson Wells. But he just didn't follow through on his promising beggining with Citizen Kane.

  Mann was/is a great action director in the same class as Peter "Bullitt" Yates.

  Just to mention him once more, Ridley Scott never dissapoints.

  By the way, speaking of action, the just released, "The Driver" with Ryan Gosling is getting great reviews. Newcomer director ?

  You are describing a certain kind of pressure that is not necessarily depression. But it can be emotional torture. In my profession we were frequently under drop dead timelines. In the case of bid submittals, it was literally a a matter of a complex, binding bid, in the six figure range, due by a certain hour and minute. "Friday, the 24 of ------ at 10 am. No exceptions"

  All I can say is when you get to the point of impossibilty, you simply take a deep breath and say, what can I salvage from this experience in a positive way, because I am damn sure not going to have my brain explode.

  You called them "defeating sighs". But there's is nothing wrong with purposeful deep breathing to avoid "breath holding" a warning sign that you have reached critical mass.

  Don't feel bad. We have all been there. The wording of the thread title is crucial. For example, if you had titled the thread:

  "USA Border Canopy falls down like a woman dropping her drawers...." then you probably would not be a firster/laster.

  i just saw this on the morning tv news - and did not get to hear enough of it to make sense:.

  but, they were saying something about a patron sneaking a taser into the sunday game and using it on another fan.. they also said that one of the guys (i assumed the victim) was "a devout jehovah's witness who does not believe in saluting the flag or standing for the national anthem".. anybody know what happened here?.

  When I was a Dub I had enough sense to avoid being in my seat when the Anthem was played at SF Giants and Oakland A's games. It was easy to avoid that. Hang around the concourse or go to the john, etc. There is no rule from Brooklyn that says you have to sit down on the ground if you are walking or standing when it starts.

  Was today's WT study an indictment of us who still attend the KH?

  by compound complex in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  given the interest shown in today's wt study, i got to thinking that the society knows many of us still attend meetings.

  the wording of today's lesson doesn't allude only to outsider's breaking in with their filthy apostate literature and tv interviews but also to satanic insider's working the faithful sheep in the pen.. we've discussed on other threads how jwn and like sites appear to be monitored.

  of course, the society's literature never clues the reader in on what exactly apostates teach nor how we infiltrators do our clandestine work of sabotaging the sheep's faith.. any thoughts?.

  I often think about our old friend Gumby (aka, The Sack Polisher?)

  He was between a rock and a hard place and I respected his position, as I do CoCos. But, like Farkel, I couldn't go underground if I had a gun to my head.
