  Did you ever want to just 'FOREST GUMP' it out of the Kingdom Hall?

  by GetBusyLiving in

  2. friends

  the last few weeks of meetings for me were pure hell.

  i got a cold sweat sometimes and just sat there fantasizing about running forest gump style out of the kingdom hall.

  i was getting "encouraged" to comment more too and i just physically could not audibly promote that crap in public anymore.

  I used to get so pissed off sitting there listening to the ponderous...F***IN PONDEROUS garbage. I used to have to get up and go outside just to not have an aneurism. I'd go out to the car, recline the seat...roll down the windows (weather permitting) and crank up some good evil satan inspired System of a Down or something just as fitting. Finally, I told my wife I wouldn't go with her anymore...that I'd get pissed off and simply lessen the enjoyment for her. I showed her that I did TRY to attend...but that's not where I am anymore. She's good enough that she understands and doesn't hassle me about it. In fact, I couldn't even tell you the last time SHE was at a KH meeting.

  A Letter To Grocery Store Owners Nationwide.

  dear mr. grocery store owner, .

  in an ongoing effort to maintain a somewhat mutually beneficial relationship, i will agree to return shopping carts to their proper place, on the agreement that you will satisfy two of these requests: .

  1. air condition the parking lot.

  To stop the misplacement of items in the wrong sack, I drive my wife absolutly insane by segregating the items as I place them on the conveyor. It's been a source of lots of teasing from her. But hey, I put the refrigerated items on the belt first...then all other dry food items...then canned goods...next, non-food items (toiletries, laundry goods, etc) ...and finally all crushables like bread, eggs, chips and cookies. She teases me all the time about it....but I still do it. When I get home, everything is segregated and easy to put in its place.

  As far as tipping....I haven't had a kid offer to help me out with my groceries in years...lazy little bastards. If they did...sure i'd tip. (policy or no) So the buggy (that's what they call them here in the south...not a "cart") goes wherever it won't roll accross the parking lot. Screw them guys...that's job security for them. The only exception to this is when I stop at a store while I'm in my tractor/trailer rig. Usually when that's the case, I'm parked nearly as far from the store as is possible...so I do at least give them a shove in the direction of the corral.

  However....I immediately got an interview with another company. Things look good and I will probably have a more stable job as well as better benefits.

  My Commercial driver's license is like an ATM card....it's good at 100,000 locations nation wide.

  The best part is I may get hired there...but I'll probably take at least one....maybe two other drivers with me. What a great F-YOU to my old employer.

  Potty Mouths?

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i got out of the dumbs, i use to cuss non-stop i think as a pathetic tactic to make worldy people think i was a little more worldy.

  i still swear from time to time, and foul language does not offend me at all, but i was talking to my sister the other day, she just turned 21, has discovered alcohol, is currently on public reproof, and i think is really close to being on her way out herself.

  she cursed like a sailor the whole time i was talking to her.

  I guess I always had a tendency to curse. Now, I'm just a trashy truck driver that speaks my mind. Sometimes, it's salted with a few explicatives, but I do have an auto edit feature that seems to work well around ladies ( not necessarily all women qualify as such) my mother, children, and the elderly. ....oh, and clients....at least until I get to know them.

  My wife, still a JW, can get quite salty at times. Usually, she feels guilty and is compelled to go to a couple of Sunday meetings again. I crack up when she curses. She'd remind you of a librarian or someone of an equally "bookish" profession...but then she'll let go with a blue streak that's make a sailor blush.

  I cursed all through High School, quickbuilds, regular pioneering....and my divorce...especially my divorce....and I haven't stopped.

  How do you trust your partner?

  by sonnyboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone really trust their girlfriend/boyfriend around members of the appropriate sex?.

  i thought we had some form of trust, but i dropped my biotch off at the car dealership today and noticed a rather long conversation going on with a "questionable" neighbor (one that we've talked about before in a sexual way).

  so, how do you go about building trust in a relationship?

  I think that part of the appeal of "love" is the idea that you put yourself at risk. It's part of why you get the old feeling of butterflies in the stomach when love is new. Sure it's a risk, but what better risk to take?

  My wife and I have a life where trust is crucial. I drive a truck for a living, gone from home for 3 to 4 days at a time. If I wanted to play around, as long as I didn't catch anything or run my mouth when drunk, who would know? My wife also is alone those 3 or 4 days, and she also travels for work from time to time...same opportunities for her if she so chose. We both have come to trust one another. Jealous love is a love held prisoner. Living with a jealous partner is no way to live life. We are with one another because we want to be. Should that ever change, I gues one of us will find somewhere else to live.

  Had a beard for about 5 years after bailing. I had to shave mine about 2 years ago, though. My job requires it because I have to be able to have a respiratior fit and seal. I do still have my mustache though.

  Mates that trash the other parnter in front of the children

  how do you feel about it when a formally together couple split up and one of them talks really bad about the other to the children just to get the kids on thier side and to turn them against the other in revenge to sooth hurt feeling?

  I take great pains to avoid this with my daughter. Her mom the "good Christian" seems to have no problem telling our daughter in round about terms how I'm not fit to be around and that her step dad is more the "spiritual" dad than I am. I've spent tons in attorney's fees and probably just as much in therapy bills...yet her mom can't see that this is bound to produce a seriously f*cked up child.

  Yes, actually, I heard that there is a row about copyright infringement with this service. Several large publishing houses look ready to file suit against Google. We'll see how it plays out. I hope it is allowed to go forward. There's also "The Gutenburg Project" that's getting books in print online, but I don't think it has a seacrch feature like this google site will.

  The first time, because I was horny, and my prospective wife was somewhat of a hottie and for a chubby guy like me, i thought she was as good as it was going to get. That one lasted 8 years. I neglected to find out that she was a psycho bitch from hell, we just call her "Satan" now.

  The second time, it was for love. We both were living independently but enjoyed one another's company...so we got hitched. If one of us ever gets dissatisfied, well...we can both make it fine on our own. We are together because we like it and we want to be, not because of any perceived dependence on the other.

  We're still fine 6 1/2 years later.

  I got in trouble for:

  Driving too fast

  Music too loud

  Music of the wrong type

  sharing some beer with some underaged buddies

  Hanging out with the "wrong" witnesses

  Working too much

  and I was bad association to one of my good friends, according to his elder dad. That's okay, I snuck out of his house and carved obscenities into the window of his car late one night. Too bad, they never caught who did it...the sanctimonious prick.
