Mimilly??!!!!

mimilly, i am so wondering how your first day at training went?

was it fun, nice colleagues, etc.... .

inquiring and caring minds want to know.

Sorry for the delay in posting - yesterday I was running on empty (absolutely NO sleep the night before) and I crashed when I got home, after a little birthday party for Beth, who turned 20. Slept like a rock and woke just before my alarm this morning at 5.

I really enjoy it. So far the training has been great - informative AND fun. The people are excellent. It's extremely humid today so asthma and a migraine took over towards the end of the day, but I was offered a drive home, which spared me the two buses in the humidity.

I love it. But for four weeks, I'm on this 8am - 3:30 schedule and won't be posting a lot. After that I'm on nights. Yet - for four weeks, I'll have each weekend off.

Yep - I love it. There IS someone watching out for me

Thanks for thinking of me - and I'm still not sure what's going on with my phone and internet service - so if I drop out of site, it's because I'm not hooked up.

hugs,

i can't say for certain that the two women who called at our door yesterday were jws but i would be incredibly surprised if they weren't.

you know the witness walk, the bag, the clothes.

the makeup ... everything about them screamed "witnesses".. so what did they want?.

Mimilly

I haven't heard of it - but I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

Man Attempts Suicide; kills J.W. elder instead

by Kenneson in

.

the article entitled "bizarre accident thought to be suicide attempt" comes from the springfield news (oregon).. http://www.springfieldnews.com be sure to scroll down.

This is sad, and we'll never know if they knew each other.

GoldenGirl - That's the first thing I thought of - why drive into a restaurant? Yet when one is suicidal, it goes without saying that they are not thinking properly. There were many times I just wanted to push my van (when I had it) to high speed and hit a phone pole. The last time I was suicidal though, I learned that I was not actually wanting to die - but too tired to carry on. There's a difference. I wanted to live - I just didn't know how to deal with my issues anymore.

Perhaps this guy was in a similiar way. Only now, he has to live with the fact that he took someone else's life. It is truly sad.

Blair, Bush& Iraq.

by Englishman in

jw

this article appeared in today's sunday times, it gives an interesting perspective as to blair and bush's attitudes.. andrew sullivan: america: tony and george, the odd but effective couple.

at the heart of every successful relationship theres a mystery.

but few, surely, hold such mystery as the lonely coupling of george bush and tony blair.

Mimilly

It's rather ironic, don't you think, that the USofA was born of a war with the motherland, and now needs her again on many levels. It's not unlike a rebellious child fighting to gain independence only to realize that it does need it's mother. No nation can exist as an island anymore.

The relationship between Britain and the States has certainly matured. And I agree fully that without Blair onside, Bush would seem every bit the police turned bully. This isn't an insult to the Americans. Jane and John Doe Citizens of the world don't look deeply into a political situations either due to disinterest or lack of access to facts and this feeds a base of people who allow their local newspaper or rumors to make their opinions for them. (the Arab world for a blatent example)

The Americans have been in a damed-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don't position. If they act - then they're being bullies, BUT, if they do nothing, and Saddam does something - then there'll be mass critisizing of the inaction.

So, since Saddam is never going to let inspectors into Iraq without exception - I'm glad the Americans won't be in the postion of going it alone. What better ally to have than one's motherland?

while i've had an incredible day - one that has changed my life for the better, taken me off welfare, made me self-sufficient (whew!

all in one day) - i want you to know that my heart and thoughts more than frequently go towards you all.

(and not just those mentioned here) .

Mimilly

Larc - honey, poopies-kins, love of my life and what-not -

I don't compare. You cannot compare human sufferings. They are individual. The only reason I listed what I did was to show a certain other person that I was not being self-serving in making this thread and that I did in fact, have experience to draw from.

I never meant it as a grocery list. Maybe your list IS shorter, but I probably wouldn't be strong enough to handle what you've had to. That's just the way it works. So - no comparisons.

hugs to you and Jan,

Mimilly/ Salem
