i think it's wonderful that be all posses creative power of thought, and i think this form of creative manifestation comes most commonley in the form of arts.so many posters have mentiond they are writing a book, but i bet some of you create music or make a wonderful soup.. i ask this because i was reading my old school reports and my art teacher wrote " michael is the post constructive, imaginative pupil i have ever had.

his enthusiasm wonders a bit but on the whole an excellent pupil" ....sadly i think if that statement was true i have rather let my self down with my artistic expression.

still it's never to late and i intend to involve myself in my art again this summer..

A garden. It's a work in progress but I'm getting there.

Plus, a life, which is also a work in progress.

So Happy to Learn About Homemade Weed Killer

by Iown Mylife in

three days ago we mixed up the recipe and sprayed the driveway cracks and several places where the weeds have been hard to get rid of.. today the weeds are dead just like when we've sprayed commercial weed killer.. mix one gallon white vinegar, 1 cup salt, 5 to 6 tablespoons of dawn dishwashing liquid.

note: don't spray if it's fixin' to rain, wait for dry weather so the stuff will stay on the weeds.

and don't spray where you want anything to grow ever!.

Brilliant thanks Marina I've been looking for something that's safe for my cats.

For those who have been out for 5 years or more.......

........... do you find you are now far more relaxed about things ?

things in general, and things wt/jw related ?.

i find i am much more relaxed and pragmatic about life in general, mrs phizzy and i do what we can, but we don't get overly upset at what we cannot do.

Xanthippe

I've been out twenty-five years and it's just a silly religion to me now. I live and let live, have gay and bi-sexual friends and am pretty relaxed about life. Only cruelty and injustice shock me. As jwfacts says if you can survive it all your perspective is a lot clearer, in fact I think I'm happier than most people I meet possibly because we have to work so hard for it don't we. I don't give up my happiness just because it's raining!

it seems i am going to have to teach people to use a tablet as part of my job and i don't even have one!

any advice would be most helpful please.. i keep reading blurb on amazon etc and now i'm really confused.

what should i buy?

Xanthippe

Shirley I work in a public library and have done for the past fourteen years. The job description has changed enormously in that time. I spend much of my day teaching people how to do things on almost forty pcs that are provided for the public. Imagine a person who can barely speak English, has hardly touched a computer and has been sent from the employment office to apply for a job online. Welcome to my day.

Catching up after putting life on hold while a JW.....

by EndofMysteries in

it's only been a couple of years since i fully woke up to ttatt.

although it's....almost never too late to turn your life around, definitely the older you are, the harder it will be.

i had put marriage, school, traveling, and 'worldly goals' aside because the end was 'just around the corner' and those things shouldn't be pursued.

Xanthippe

EoM congratulations on your engagement! Well done on being on the way to a degree, great news. You've really turned your life around in a short time.

Birthdays

by Laika in

i had my first real birthday party yesterday.

call me an irredeemable pagan, but i was massively excited about this, the whole thing was very special, i got a little emotional and i think my friends must have found it a little strange but it was just nice to be creature worshipped.

when i was a child my parents always used to tell people i didn't miss out by not celebrating my birthday but i did miss out.

Xanthippe

Laika glad you had a good time. Belated birthday wishes to you
