i miss mike on here.
he is one of my favorites on this board.. ken p.
Hello Mike, I am glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. My Dad had the same thing (Don't know if it was called the same ) 24 years ago,he was in Frenchay Hospital, later he had the colostomy reversed, and has been right as rain in that department ever since, he was about 60 at the time and went back to work until he retired.He is 84 now and has a healthy appetite! I know you must be feeling pretty rough right now, but chin up old chap, remember you're an Englishman!!!
Lots of love from Shirley, (Meat Pie )
the correct expression is i couldn't care less.. the idea is that you are trying to inpart total disinterest in what your opponent is trying to say.
so, you are so disinterested that you say i couldn't care less!
it's impossible for me to care any less because i'm already at maximum non caring.
' Totally decimated '
AAAAAAAAAAArgh!
It makes me want to scratch off the wallpaper!

we, as witnesses were taught to believe that our giving the "truth" to people was the most important gift we could give!
forget about giving money to charities or helping any other group out----we needed to give them the "real life".
do you find yourself giving back to the community or to others now that you're out?
I knit by hand and machine as much as I can for a charity that distributes the items to homeless people's charities etc.Its called Queen Mary's Clothing Guild.The idea is to make something for someone, which is new and made for them, not bought, to give them a sense of worth and being valued.I love it, and I feel a little guilty that I may get more out of it than the recipients do.
Also, the last time I had a visit from an elder and m.s.the E started on about the command to preach, I said that's just what I was doing to him, by letting him know what a crooked org the WTBTS is! False Religion. He looked dumb-founded.

hello all, here in the uk at the moment, we have the coca cola ad that has the woman walking down some steps singing 'i wish i could...' and handing out opened bottles of coke to passersby.
well during the ad there are 2 separate ,bright double flashes of light.
at normal speed they appear to be coming from her earings, but when recorded and played slowly with the pause button they are actually coming from under/behind a parked car in the near background.i doubt if they are there by accident.. they are a bit disturbing.. has anyone else seen this, and what do you make of it, or have i just been reading too many conspiracy books?.
Thanks for your replies so far.
Simple sally, I have no idea what the meaning might be, or if its sinister, but I found it a bit disturbing.I am sure not one single pixel ends up in a Coke ad that isn't meant to be there.
Confused... Excellent work!
Any more ideas?

(taken from a question overheard on hollywood squares)
ok non brits, what is your guess????
i shall enquire the answer from a brit shortly.
Well, when I was a little girl, we used to go to Bristol Zoo and you could buy bags of Monkey Nuts to feed the monkeys, of course we used to eat them too.You aren't allowed to do that now, feed the monkeys I mean.

i have one or two little spiders that i noticed living in my home... but i don't get rid of them hoping that they will keep the other bugs out.. does anyone else do this?.
If you wish to live and thrive,
let a spider run alive !
My husband is scared of them, which is always good for a laugh.
Meat Pie, who has LOTS of spiders !
ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.
all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.
not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .
Hello, the winged disc symbol which is on studies in the scriptures books etc is also common to Zoroastrianism.
My FIL is a Freemason, showed me the contents of his briefcase once, I wanted to swap his apron for a frilly pinny and his soppy white gloves for a pair of pink Marigolds. That'd get him noticed He-he! As for conspiracy theories, I love 'em.Don't think it matters whether CTR was a Freemason or not, Mormons are closely linked to all that stuff, but then so are a lot of things, my two ha'p'orth is, there was a lot of interest in Egyptology around that time, and CTR may well have been linked to F'masons or knew some of their stuff.There are well-known Masonic symbols/New world Order stuff on US dollar bills etc, does that mean anything, maybe......
The British Royal Family are all reptiles.

i know, i know this is kind of a morbid subject but the subject actually came up between my husband and i the other night.
we have two completely different backgrounds and we have discovered that we want diff.
things to be done to us when we die.
Hello, I'd like to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in the out-going tide at a beach we often go to. No memorial stone/plaque/tree/park bench etc, so, if the kids ever move away they won't have to feel bad about leaving it behind, and I will be 'around' in a homeopathic watery kind of way.
And... if there's any kind of funeral service/ back at the house thingy.(Their choice) The only music I'd request is..'See ya later alligator' (wishful thinking) Anyone, including JWs, who knew me would see the funny side.
My sister had 'Oh, Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz'... Strange, too late.Oh well.
Meaty
Shirley.
