if htere were anything i ever wanted it was to be like all the other kids i saw in my life...free to accept gifts, love and unconditional reasoning from adults...even as an adult this is all i rarely ask for...where is your family when it would be nice to have them?

would something please just take me home?.

sincerely,.

((((((((((((((Valis)))))))))))))))))

i was just talking about this yesterday. i was wondering what it would have been like to grow up 'normal' like the other kids in school. i bet i had to go sit in the library more times than the goddam librarian. i never felt like i fit in either.

i remember the day that i found out that my family's love would be, in fact, conditional. i lost it. i cried like i've never cried before. it was like someone reached into my chest, pulled out my heart, and smashed it with a hammer. i felt completely and utterly alone for the first time in my life.

a person should never have to question their family's love. unfortunately, we aren't like other people. we have to find real friends who love us unconditionally because our families can't seem to grasp the concept.

i'm so sorry you're feeling bad. i wish i could make it better. you are so valued here and you have been such a generous host and made so many people feel welcome and included. i have really come to admire that about you. i look forward to meeting you one day!

i've never had a brother. maybe i'll adopt you as my brother.

love, riz

Would you take your shoes off?

by Golden Girl in

if you went to someones house as a guest and they asked you to take your shoes off..would you?..would you be offended?....

does anyone know if this is proper etiquette?.

didn't know where else to post this........ my daughter was invited to a neighbors house and they requested people remove their shoes!...she never had anyone ask her that before.

riz

my husband and i don't wear shoes in our house either. we kick them off in the doorway and leave them there.

i find that when company comes over, they immediately remove their shoes without me asking them to. in fact, i've never asked anyone to remove their shoes. when they reach down to untie their laces i tell them they can keep their shoes on if they want to. even then, they still take their shoes off.

i don't mind shoes on the carpet unless they are muddy, of course. just keep your shoes off of my furniture. i'd be pissed if i had to wipe mud and ghod knows what else off of my couches.

Were You One Of Those That Was Always Looking For The Perfect Kingdom Hall?

by minimus in

i remember, especially in the 70's and 80's, how certain ones would go from hall to hall looking for the perfect congregation.

you know, the place that had the best elders, the area that you could "grow" in.

maybe it was the hall that had all the families or best association.

riz

so do you like have a book full of questions or do you just pull them out of your ass?

Did You Ever Want To Beat Someone Up?

we hear how the miracle of the truth changes people.

those that had animalistic qualities have become sheep.

those that had violent tempers learned real self-control.if you're not a "believer" anymore, have you ever wanted to just smack a person because they irritated you?.....there is one co that i wouldn't mind whacking, still, after all these years.

of course. who hasn't? *cracks knuckles*
