For Expatrit: Ample means a lot, plenty, more than enough, etc.
In other words, BIG.

80Funny story about VeniceIT
by Mulan inby popular demand, i am yielding to pressure, to tell a story about our very own veniceit.. in march, venice and her parents were visiting us here in washington state, and we all had dinner at our daughter's home one evening.
(my daughter posts here as princess) princess's son, 4 years old, was quite taken with venice and was showing her around the house.
he was going up the stairs ahead of her, and turned around, face first at her rather, ummm, er, ample?

Is it anywhere on her book? I read her book a few years ago, before I had email, so maybe not, huh? Try internet search for her.

Reminds me of my cousin's husband. They used to sit behind us at the KH, and when he, my husband and myself were trying to be good, and not be too disgusted with all the FDS worship (my cousin was still a loyal dub), he would often emit a loud sigh, and get up and walk out. He would come back to pick her up. We didn't know for a long time that he actually left. We thought he was at the back somewhere.
By the way, for those who don't know our story, we stayed for nearly two years trying to fade away.........and we did. My cousin? She saw the light finally, and is disfellowshipped. How's that for irony?

Hi, to another "second generation apostate". Welcome to the board.
My daughter (Princess) started posting a couple of days ago, too.
Someone called her that, and I thought it was pretty clever. -

I would love to read your memories of him. He is my stepfather, and is dying of cancer now. He is 85 and also has Alzheimer's disease. Very sad end for a very sweet, kind, loving man. (still a dub, and an elder, although his mind is nearly gone)
He used to tell us about pioneering on horseback, where his only possession was a typewriter, and change of clothes.

TRIBUTE to a CIRCUIT OVERSEER
by Amazing inover the years, circuit servants and then circuit overseers came and went.
i can only recall a handfull because the rest were unimpressive or i was not real active during the visit of some.
most cos that i recall were humdrum with perhaps some single interesting feature or personality quirk.

I remember Harry. Was his wife's name Hilda? It was 30 years ago at least. I remember them too. I made lunch for them once, and they ate it all, with great relish. At that time, we took the lunch to the KH, and everyone who wanted to could bring theirs and eat with him too. It took away the exclusivity of being invited to lunch with the CO.
Thanks for this. We weren't in the inner circle in those days, but I remember him being really kind, and sweet.

This is so great! Lots of newbies this week. Welcome to the board.
And yes, UncleBruce, you can just 'walk away'. Lots of us here have done just that.

Who are you?
by Kent inmany people do post on this board, and many of the participants do spend a lot of hours every day/week helping others by answering to private mails.
many do get lots of private phone calls, and spend a lot of time talking to people on phone as well.. others are here to discuss, find friends, socialize with others and generally have a good time.
the nice thing about the net is the possibilities of finding new friends.
