  I'm with plmkrzy - I like animals more than people. They're honest. It was my dogs who taught me unconditional love.

  I have Tjiske (pronounced chiska) - a german sheperd/husky cross. Husky bod with the sheperd smarts and coloring. She's my protector and follows me everywhere. She loves making friends with cats. She's 7yrs old.

  There's Diego, my palimino pony i call him. He's part boxer part dane. (looks notta like a boxer) He is my snuggle muffin and often lets me use him for a pillow. He has more expressions than I've ever seen a dog have and he's very vocal. (hilarious when he complains under his breath) Diego is 3 years old.

  My orange tabby Beaster - aptly named. He's been with me for 10 years now. We hold paws at night. He has lukemia but is still kickin! (my bed is a regular love fest at night) He has a bent ear (from an earlier abscess) and crooked whiskers. Quite the character.

  There's Doodles, our black neurotic cat. He's 6 years old. This dude has jewels for eyes and is afraid of his shadow. He does play with the dogs though.

  We've also a silly siamese fighting fish, Princess Suishi, who sleeps in her small castle, either upright or upside down. I've never had a fish with such character before.

  In the past I've had an Old English Sheepdog, Nicholas and a Shar-Pei, Buffykin-Star. Also, a guinea pig, Harry; a hamster, Hamlet, and two love birds, Cheech and Chong (i did not name the birds)

  They all keep me sane. I will NEVER be without a dog again in my life. The floor show here is fabulous.

  I love animals. Absotively Posolutely!!!!

  Theocratic Warfare at my house part 3, the end

  thank you all who responded to my earlier post, i am pleased to say there has been a major development.

  just twenty minutes ago i was sitting at the piano and my wife comes up to me and says, "i talked to the brothers, you were absolutely right, i apologize, he (my minor son) will never go to the meetings again".

  i sat there in stunned shock both happy and sad at the same time.

  After I was Df'd, my husband, who I was divorcing on grounds of abuse (the elders had previously hid me and my girls in a safe house cos of him), would either see or talk to the girls every single day. And every single day, he would quiz them on who is going to live and who is going to die. They had to answer that he was going to live and that I was going to die. My girls at the time were 10 and 8 years old. My youngest came running in the door after one visit screaming "I hate you mommy - I hate you!!". I knew she didn't, and I knew where it was coming from.

  I called the PO and let him know what hubby was saying and doing to my girls. I threatened that if it did not stop - I would file charges of abuse against hubby and THEM for allowing it to continue. This elder was super reasonable and hauled hubby to task several times. I never told hubby he couldn't take the girls, unless they told me they did not want to go. I had several talks with both girls - called 'reality checks' in our home about their father's actions and words. (not to demean him in their eyes - but so they could figure out what was going on in their own little hearts - kids are not dumb)

  Today they hate the borg. Hubby left after being counselled to death - I guess he thought he was on easy street. (after all - he was in contempt of court for non payment of maintenance and quitting a job at Michelin Tires so as not to pay a dime to the kids, yet was handling the mics) I reminded said elder of this too. I played their own game against them for the benifit of my kids. The reality checks work wonders - so long as there is no dirty stuff being hurled. I reminded them that their father loves them as best he can, and then asked if they thought that Jehovah would approve of what he is saying and doing. I also told them that often when moms and dads separate/divorce, mean things will get said and done to hurt the other one.

  Reality checks are great tools with kids of any age. Just taylor it to them. Ask the question and they will get the answer, and above all - remind them that even though mom and dad are arguing, both love them dearly and that it isn't their fault. I said this often. No matter what - that is the thing that has to be said over and over.

  Kids are smart. Be honest and respect their feelings.

  hugs, Mimilly

  awww Animal - I read it all sweety.

  plmkrzy - never let it be said that I am unwilling to try. (btw - we look somewhat alike,except my hair isn't as long) You look great on that bike.

  The reasons I don't care for the HD is the noise. My hearing is always on loud, and I often hear things the people around me cannot (and no - it's not the voices talking to me).

  So the question is: WHO is going to take me for my virgin ride on a Harley?

  lotsa hugs, Mim

  Ever lie on your service reports?

  *laughing just thinking about it*.

  did anybody out there lie on their service reports that they maintained the 'national average' when in reality you got .005 hours of service in any given month?

  i magically always used to always get "10" hours out in service, while nobody ever saw me at the groups, no one ever caught on, or seemed not to -- maybe they just didn't give a shit.. i always lied so i could keep my microphone 'privelidges' -- that being, the privelidge to walk around at the back of the hall giving my deflated ass a break from those awful chairs they had.

  I was of the round-it-up class. And towards the end I was of the put-the-minimal-down-to-keep-the-elders-away class.

  I love this topic - always wondered, although I saw enough of it while out in fs, especially while aux.pioneering. Gotta love those creative ways of stretching the minutes!

  Everytime I see a Harley going by - I want to blast the noisy, high-barred piece of machinary to bits. I find absolutely nothing sexy about a HD. I think it's hype. They're bloody noisy. If you came across a car like that - would you buy it? Would you think it was sexy? Nope. And those high 'handle bars' that the riders have to hold their arms over their heads to hang on to are dangerous. The riders look like apes hangin' from their own vehicle.

  I love motorcycles. I have never been able to tolerate a Hog.

  Bad Day

  i'm posting here because i can't find any other forum to post to about this....plus you all know me and you are a great group of people.. i'm having a really bad day today.

  all of a sudden it seems to have "hit" me that i had cancer.

  i've been all clear for about 3 months, but all the while i've been terrified of it returning.

  Sirona sweetheart - please don't wait that long. I have been up for endless nights with pain, pressure and cracking in my ear. I go to the doctor tomorrow for more antibiotics. I have an appointment on August 7th for a root canal. (why are you having an extraction?)

  I'm relieved to hear that you have decided to get something done about that tooth. But the time frame you are talking about is awhile yet and I guarantee you'll be on several courses of antibiotics. You yourself said that the ones you just finished didn't work. You already need more. (like me)

  Sirona, I am very familiar with cancer. Both my parents had it. Mom survived two breast cancer bouts. (two of her sisters died from the same thing), and my father had skin cancer. I was with Mom when she was going through it and it took all her mental and physical energy. You do NOT need something fixable like this tooth dragging your system down. Repetitive antibiotics are not good/healthy, and yet if you go without, you will end up like me - ear AND sinus infections - big time. (which will lead to no sleep, fevers etc) You do NOT need that right now honey. PLEASE - get the tooth dealt with - soon. I have suffered for a good year because no one knew what was causing the infection and pain.

  Please... please do not wait until after you move. Please. You cannot afford to allow yourself to be worn down like that - especially when it is totally unnecessary.

  Just really concerned about ya love......

  hugs, Mimilly

  if your boyfriend refuses to go to college, what do you do?.

  for his job, he really needs a college degree.

  but he said that there is something about "being at school".

  You could bring up the idea of Distance Education. That way he could take the courses at home, either by computer or correspondence.

  I agree with the others. You will add to his stress by pushing. You'll never find happiness if you allow money to get between you. Respect his issues just as you would like him to respect yours.
