we just finished our anniversary dinner(it was wednesday but we waited till week end...) and i have to say--i outdid myself this year!.

now last year we had our church wedding for our 5th anniversary and we had cajun fried turkey and jambalaya and a wonderful catawba/peach manischevitz wine punch(with gingerale) with peaches and melon floating in the bowl....(very pretty coral colored punch).

we had a red-velvet/almond flavored wedding cake and the groom's cake was deep chocolate with mocha icing... followed at midnight by a shot of henry mckenna or irish mist..... fantastic!

WHAT IS YOUR PET PEVE?

what is it that really irritates you ,i mean the most annoying ,thing that when you see it or hear it you just clench your teeth,we all have them so let's hear yours.mine is religious boasting.there is this home builder that advertises on tv and says his crap then says we are a christien company.oh yes , because he said that i would trust him more then anyone else,he must have higher standards.

(ya right).or those people who advertise with bumper stickers of their religion,and yes the freaking door bell ringers trying to push their crap on me.isn't it what you feel inside?why advertise to everyone?does it make you feel more important or more religious?because of the attempt to show me that you have faith does not make me feel i could trust you.

this is just one of my irritants and hope not do offend,everyone has the right.

after reading the thread about posing in the nude, i was suprised to see how many people on here had done that....made me start to wonder what other interesting tidbits (hence the title of this thread) i didn't know about my fellow posters.

so what interesting or unusual thing have you done or been or seen in your life?

posed in the nude?

Outaservice

Well, lets see......

1. Had dinner with President Bush (Sr.) at the Whitehouse. Also, my picture with him.

2. Had Vanna White (Wheel Of Fortune) feature one of my manufactured products on TV several times.

3. Shook hands with Glen Campbell, The Pointer Sisters, Andy Kaufman, and many others in Las Vegas.

4. Rode on an elevator with James Brown (I feel Good!)

5. Had dinner with the Governor of Michigan and his wife and received a Christmas Card from him yearly.

6. And finally, Pioneered one month and never called on a door!

What did you do to keep yourself amused at the KH?

by be wise in

when i was very young about 12 or 13 my brother [he's mad, not much older] sometimes used to do a cheeky magic trick during the watchtower[god, this was the most boring of them all, i think].

he used to put his hands by his side and miraculously the books on his lap would rise all by themselves [yeah, you guessed it ...morning glory], well it made me laugh my head off.

i bet people could see my shoulders bouncing up and down from the back row.

Some things I did are as follows:

1. Write down all the cliche's I heard that evening, such as 'Thinking Christians', etc.

2. Read the Bible or other magazines such as TIME etc.

3. Counted how many times the words, Organization, Apostate, Governing Body, Pioneering, etc. were mentioned.

4. Carried a small 'flask' in my coat pocket and sat at the back so I could dip into it every once in awhile.

5. Made faces at the kids in the hall and tried to get them to laugh.

yesterday i was in the dollar tree shopping for goodies for and easter egg hunt next week.. (for those of you not from the us, the dollar tree is a chain of stores where everything is......just one dollar!!!).

there, in front of my beady little bargain-hunting eyes, were copies of the holy bible.. i immediately wondered the following:how much profit is dollar tree making on these rather nice bibles?how much did i used to sell bibles for in the mid-80s?

)how much did it cost to make bibles with volunteer labor in the mid-80s?how much profit did/does the wbts make from the sale of their bibles?.
