  Tracy and I used to pioneer together, kinda. See, she was the good kid (read REG Pioneer) and I was the not so good kid (read occasional aux. pioneer). Anyway, one time we were pioneering and decided to diet...we were all of late teens I think and she made me eat this godawful combination of yogurt and cottage cheese for lunch!!! Christ...I mean, junk food stops were about the only thing that made pioneering bearable. Needless to say, the diet didn't last more than a day (it's possible I even sneaked a snicker's bar during that lunch )

  Our Last Words.....?

  by hillary_step in

  the reality of impending death is our one certainty.

  if we are fortunate enough to live for 70 years, we will have lived for 840 brief months.. the womb to the tomb is a rapid journey.

  i once wandered through a cemetery in a town called rochester in the uk and always having a fascination for last words, i happened upon the c19th tombstone of a man who had been fatally struck while playing cricket!

  Here lies a gal with her paddle,
  To all in the chat she would prattle,
  "Come here little cutie,
  and bare your patootie,
  to my hubby tho, don't you dare tattle."

  Any guesses on who this might be?

  The BESTEST present ever! (NOT)

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading a few threads regarding the upcoming christmas season, i thought i'd post a funny story, and ask you to add to it.. if you've ever received a wacky present, or one you had to pretend that you liked, please post it.. about 5 years ago, when i first started celebrating christmas with hubby, i got a real shocker of a present.

  a deep fryer.. now, hubby was *very* proud of himself.

  you see, about three months prior to christmas we were going through costco (warehouse type store) when i noticed they had a nice little deep fryer.

  Okay...here's my story:

  My ex, the man I was with for 14 years and who *knew* me better than anyone, constantly bought me stuff that I had absolutely no interest in. Actually, all of his gifts were things HE wanted me to wear/like/read etc. One year on our anniversary, he spent a small fortune on a pair of diamond and opal earrings. Beautiful? Yes. Just what I wanted? HELL NO!!!! They were the most ostentatious pair of earrings I had ever seen! And for those of you who don't know me...well, ostentatious I ain't!!! A little gold, a small opal...sure. Not to mention, where was I supposed to wear them...to the book study??! LOLOL

  Funny thing is...since our divorce, he's gotten much better at gift giving!! On my birthday this year, he surprised me with a Monet print he'd bought on a recent trip to DC and had it framed for me. Last year at xmas, he gave me a $100 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble!!! I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!!! Life is so weird...

  Dana (btw..the earrings make a nice little fall-back for me now if I run short of money }

  JW's and guitars! I hate 'em!

  by expatbrit in

  2. friends

  ok what is it with male jw's and guitars?

  it seems like it's a badge of spirituality or something.

  you go to a congregation bbq or something, and there's always at least three brothers sitting around endlessly playing the same few chords over and over again.

  Ex - you too can become a "player". Roy Clark, formerly of Hee Haw will sell you a guitar, chord book and instruction video for less than $100 american. ;)

  DON'T DO IT EXPAT!!!!! Cling to your principles man!!

  ok, this will probably sound really stupid to most people but.... when i was little, i had a go of a toy called 'vertibird' in a shop near us.. it was brilliant!.

  this was the one toy i have always wanted.

  whenever i've been to toys-r-us with the kids i've always looked out for them but, alas, i've never found them.. until now !.

  MMMMMMMMMMM, Thanksgiving....turkey day!!! YUM!!! Oh Simon, you Brits are really missing out...Thanksgiving (which is tomorrow!) is a day when all Americans get to stay home and stuff themselves full of turkey, dressing and gravy, cranberry sauce, yams, and various other really really yummy foods...then sit around in a semi-comatose state watching really really good football. Once the above-mentioned foods are partially digested and some semblance of awareness returns, ya get to start in on the pumpkin pies!!! Oh yum!!!

  And oh yeah, iss a special day to spend with family, nobody REALLY cares about the food, doncha know...iss a special day to um...spend with loved ones and be thankful...for something. Me, I just like the food (specially when Tracy's the one cookin'!)
