  Do you go to Kroger/Publix/Wal Mart?

  i usually shop for most things at wal mart but i have learned some things at publix and kroger are cheaper than wal mart.

  if you are conscious shopper, tell me what things do you buy at each store to save some money!

  i am thinking about being a member of bj, if you know of any good deals at bj, let me know too.

  Where we live, Walmart is the only full line grocery store open past 6 pm within 25 miles. I will actually make the 30 mile drive to Krogers occasionally. Just Ron drives 15 miles to go to a little grocery store (closes at 5:30 pm LOL) to get chicken, pork, and whole wheat egg noodles. We buy a lot from the local produce growers, we grow a lot of stuff ourselves, and we buy our beef by the side from a family member. I don't generally buy premade baked goods, other than sandwich bread. I've even made homemade from scratch donuts.

  On my way into work today,,,,,

  i was listening to some southern radio preacher giving his sermon.

  he was talking about the need to sell out to god and not just say that you love god but prove it.

  he then said something that made me laugh - he said " a wife doesn't prove that she loves her husband in the parlor, she proves her love for him in the kitchen".. now i find that hilarious for a couple reasons, what do you ladie's and gents think??

  Heartwarming JW Facebook Comment

  2. friends

  this urban legend/anecdote was on the facebook page of a jw who is a facebook friend of mine.

  it's kind of long but tell us what you think....it was all i could do to stop myself from making a snarky comment.

  a young couple very much wanted to have a family, but his wife could not conceive, so they decided to adopt a baby.

  new july 2013 awake says this on page 3:.

  "there is a 14 percent greater probability that a person over 60 years of age will die on his birthday rather than on other days.".

  wow, they have now proven that birthdays are pagan and not fit for christians!.

  My grandma died on my birthday in 2006, and my aunt died on my birthday in 2007. Neither of them were dubs though.

  I read them both long before I became a dub. Amazing how a person can shut down his thinking ability. I read 1984 again after I left the borg, and it really struck me how well it fit.

  so yesterday afternoon, an elder who lives only 3 blocks away drives up to my house as i was about to enter my car.

  as he gets out of his car, i noticed he had a stack of photocopied paper in his hand and he seemed quite nervous.

  i was genuinely happy to see him nonetheless since he is pretty easygoing and very likeable.
