  why do kids love wellies so much?.

  we went to buy liam some new school shoes and clothes yesterday and both lads wanted to buy some wellies - liam got green tweenie ones and dylan got red thomas the tank engine ones.. they wore them when we got home and didn't take them off till bedtime.

  this morning they are both walking round in their pyjamas and ... wellies.

  this was the first house i ever knew...when mom came home from the hospital...this was it.

  i waited all those months to get into this world and come and live here...a peaceful home.

  i had some toys and spent my days learning to ride my tricycle and then progressed onto learning to ride my beautiful blue bicycle which dad had brought home as an end-of-year gift for me.

  Time out ....................................

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  take a break.... close your eyes.....and go back in time.... before the internet and dvd's.

  before semi-automatic machine guns, joyriders and crack .... before sega, ps2 or super nintendo...way back..... i'm talking about hide and seek in the park.

  the corner shop, hopscotch, butterscotch, skipping, handstands, football with an old can, bulldog, beano, twinkle and roly poly, hula hoops, jumping in enormous puddles and building dams... when astro wars, 'computer' tennis, pac-man and donkey-kong ruled.... the smell of the sun and fresh cut grass.

  I'm a useless Apostate :(

  by NewbieGirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking here for a while now, posted a handful of times, but this board has had a profound effect on me.. i have just finished reading coc which i would never have even heard of if it wasn't for this board.. anyway, in light of everything i have learned here, i have been waiting expectantly for the next unsuspecting jw's to knock on my door, just so i can er, 'enlighten' them.. about 15 minutes ago, just that happened.

  i answered a knock on my door to be confronted by two jw's.

  one of them i remembered vaguely from a neighboring cong, and the other was someone i knew pretty well from my old cong.. so what did i do?

  Finding Old Friends

  by individuals wife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just found a brilliant website for us brits - i think you have an equivalent in the us though.. .

  http://www.friendsreunited.com.

  once you register, which is free and very easy, you enter the name of your old school, primary, secondary or both and it gives you details of kids you went to school with, what they did after they left, what job they are doing now, whether they got married and had kids, etc.

  Favourite Live Performer:

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen loads of live acts, back when i was a "young person asking" i watched the crystals, heinz, johnny kid and the pirates, brenda lee, joe brown and others all on one show.

  so very innocent!.

  come my eventual departure from dubdom, i resolved to see all these bad people playing their music live.

  now, i have a hypothesis i want to gather correlational data on.

  disclaimer: it's only for fun, nathan natas, larc, alanf--all you logical thinkers out there!

  thoughts about miscarriage

  by silentlambs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember the date, may 15, 1991, it was the date my wife miscarried and a young life was lost.

  there was no funeral, few remarks of support.

  i will never forget the remark of my mother, well it never was really a baby after all.
