I've be out for about 4 years, and I still don't celebrate the holidays. I just can't find the desire in me to do so....they still feel like any other day. Of course, my kid's birthdays are very special to me, but I still can't celebrate them. Maybe it has something do with my kid's father still being a JW, and the kids find themselves in the middle.

EX JW, Longo murder trial, opening statements.
by seven006 intoday the trial opened for christian longo the disfellowshipped jehovah's witness that is accused of murdering his wife and three young children in a small coastal city in oregon.
the prosecution went into detail describing how christian longo had premeditation in his acts and how he planed his steps after and before the murders.
i won't go into the details of how he killed his wife and kids but i would like to bring out a few of the statements he made during an interview with an fbi agent he sat with on the flight back from mexico.. christian longo in a somewhat calm voice told the fbi agent why he did what he did.

It's a sad day in the neighborhood...
by Scully ini just heard that fred rogers (aka mr. rogers) died today of complications related to stomach cancer.. my kids loved watching his show as much as they enjoyed watching mr. dressup.
when ernie coombs (mr. dressup) passed away a week after 9/11, my kids were devastated, it was like one of their best friends had died.
i was devastated too - for my kids and for the part of me that also enjoyed mr. dressup as a child.. give your kids a big hug today when you tell them the news about mr. rogers.

I was so sad to hear Mr. Rogers died......
I grew up with Mr. Rogers, as well as Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo. I feel as though part of my childhood just died with him.

Celia,
I really enjoyed this book too. Except I found myself a little frustrated....why wouldn't she just get out!! She kept going back and forth about the issue. I felt like screaming just like you do!
Enjoy!!

JOE MILLIONAIRE - NOT!!
by Mary in.
okay for those of us that actually watched the final episode last night (and are willing to admit it): what would you have done if you were the girl and he told you he had "chosen" you.......but then you found out that he lied and didn't have any $$$......would you still wanna see him?.
and guys, would you ever consider trying something like this?.

I didn't even watch the show. Programs like these disgust me! I would never go for a guy just because he was loaded. He would definintely have to be responsible and be making a decent living, but not a millionaire. Of course being well established in society would play an important part in my getting envolved with a man, but I would not look at the monetary value. I wouldn't make it a priority.
A man is worth much more for the person that he is in his heart, and not what he has in the bank. How sad that there are women that would do anything just to get a man in their life with some money tied to his name.

And you think Gas is expensive.....
by Lost Diamond injust another thing to think about....
you think a gallon of gas is expensive?
doesn't run on water, scope, or whiteout, or god forbid, pepto bismol or .

Just another thing to think about....
You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive? Makes one think, and puts things in
perspective.
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ......... $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ....... $ 9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ............. $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 ......... $10.00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ........... $33.60 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 ......... $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .......... $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ............... $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 ................. $84.48 per gallon
this is the REAL KICKER......
Evian water 9 oz for $1.49 ........$21.19 per gallon.
$21.19 FOR WATER! ....
But then again EVIAN spelled backwards is naive.
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car
doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid, PEPTO BISMOL or
NYQUIL!!!!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next
trip to the pump...
