  Let's lighten things up a little

  since many of us in the us are watching the clock before a holiday i thought i would resurrect a topic that has been dealt with in the forums in the past but not for a couple years.

  pranks.. i spend a large amount of time thinking up pranks for revenge or just for the heck of it to amuse myself.

  i will post the ones i remember to hopefully make everyone's day brighter.. first off, one of the concrete bases anchoring a fence in my back yard started crumbling and the fence post started to lean.

  in an effort to get some help and hopefully help others, i'd like to start this thread about psychology, specifically starting with the subject of anger management.. .

  personally, i don't have much of a temper.

  what i do have, i've learned to control.

  I'd be thrilled to no end if one of my kids weeded the garden for me! You are a good son, Billy

  just ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the rbc brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall.

  now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file.

  so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?.

  I suspect the RBC is just as disorganized and bad at paperwork now as they were 10 years ago when Just ROn first volunteered to help on the builds. Or it could be a set up, I wouldn't put it past them

  ignoring them is what we do best LOL. we both let any unknown number roll to voicemail rather than answering. Especially calls from outside our home area, because there is virtually no chance that it's anyone we want to talk to.

  Breastfeeding in Bathrooms...

  by cognac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the natick, ma assemble hall used to have it's own room for breastfeeding mothers.

  they changed this room to the accounting room or something like that and now have seats available for breastfeeding inside the bathroom.. there is one other small room available for breastfeeding but they close that off when the baptism is going on.

  needless to say, i used to get so pissed off that they actually wanted me to breastfeed in the bathroom that i would threaten to a brother that i would take my boob out in front of everybody and that is there problem because breastfeeding in a bathroom is unsanitary.. one year they put me in some backroom.

  Roberts Stadium in Evansville, IN had curtains hung around to make a "mother's room" Absolutely no real privacy as everyone in attendance was constantly traipsing past. Plus, no sink available to wash up and nothing but plain metal folding chairs. Miserable.
