None of the venues I went to for assemblies were designed or suitable for all day events. The seats were invariably miserable, especially with all the book bags and coolers in the way. I hated going and I'm so glad I never have to endure that again.

Convention Season-"Saving Good Seats" & Other Embarrassing Behavior
by Darth Fader The Sequel insince it is the convention season (and i am not attending this year or ever again), and i have been seeing other posts about some of the goings on at the various ic's and rc's, i am reminded of some of the truly embarrassing behavior i have "witnessed" (pun intended) over my lifetime of being a jdub at the various conventions and assemblies.
probably the most disillusioning experience at a convention that i have ever had was one year when i volunteered to be an attendant.
all of the volunteers were asked to attend a special meeting a few months beforehand to get instructions for our duties as attendants.

By the time you get a wage garnishment, you've already blown your opportunity to make things better. You should have responded to the first notice, not responding really chaps them off. Even if you can't pay the entire bill on time, always file the return on time because you avoid the failure to file penalty. If you are making regular payments, any taxing body is less likely to serve a garnishment on you and more likely to allow you to make a payment plan. If you dispute the amount of tax they say you owe, you should consult a CPA to see if you are still able to file an amended return or present evidence that the tax isn't actually due.

How many things did you toss out in the name of Jehoover
by love2Bworldly ini had a flash back yesterday.
my non jw husband and i went to disneyland and bought my young daughter a set of 7 dwarf toys.
after a few months i felt guilty and threw them away, thinking they were demonized.

We are an Evil Aposta-Family

it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.
we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.

My kids lost all their friends at the hall when we quit going. However, they had a couple of non-dub friends that live near us, and they've made many more friends since then. None of them would go back to the borg willingly.

Would like all of your imput on this. Please
by Still Totally ADD inboth reopened mind and i are now in our early 60's and it seems our conversations lately have been on putting everything up for sale and buying a rv and travel until we can't anymore.
it has been a dream of ours for along time to see all the site's in the u.s. and canada.
we feel we could make money as we go by selling and teaching using herbs and gardening.

As an owner of an old camper, I recommend *not* buying a motorhome. I suggest that you might be happier with a towed camper or fifth wheel and a pickup truck. Towed campers are a lot cheaper than motorhomes, plus you can get used models without worrying about the engine blowing up. Our camper is nearly 40 years old, hasn't really had a lot of work done on the mechanicals since we bought it 10 years ago. We've got less than $10K in it, and it's plenty big for 2 people to live in.

Am I a bad person for wishing this??
by quellycatface ini have suffered with menopausal symptoms for a few years now.
hot flushes and facial sweating, the most noticeable to others.. a sister i knew used to laugh and pretty much, mock me.
i used to say "you wait till you get them" , without being nasty.. i seriously hope she suffers.

I have not yet experienced hot flashes, but I have suffered regularly with cramps that were as bad as labor pains. I am approaching the age where my cycle is not predictable and I do not dare stray far from a bathroom during the worst days. Anyone who can't be sympathetic and acknowledge the misery women like me have endured for decades can kiss my big fat a$$.

So many dubs
by Nosferatu inlast weekend while i was checking out garage sales, i swear i saw about 10 "pairs" of dubs doing their important work.
they were handing out the pamphlets for the convention.. i've never seen that many in one weekend.
was there some sort of special, motivational request for doing the preaching work last weekend?.

I don't know if there was a special push last weekend, but I saw some local dubs out preaching two weekends ago. I hadn't seen anyone out and about for a couple of years before that.
