"well lemee tell ya sumpin!

"...as my brother wild turkey would say...not only do i have bruises all over my god like body..*lol*, but i didn't get my pickles dammit!

i bent over backwards to bug the shit out of scootergirl for months to get my pickles, even when they weren't ready and when i try to complain while she's here, and especially after all those pics she was showing us of the great northern picklecopia, she ignores me!...even after i call her "mommy" despite her express forbiddance this weekend...i didn't even get slapped, like she said she was going to.... sincerely,.

spanner.....that would be me.......scootergirl a.k.a the pickle person......

So sorry, Valis.......don't think my back could have handled hauling all the pickles there.......plus, can you imagine if jars would have broken open? Nuttin' sexier than smelling like a big old pickle all weekend!

Glad some of you got to try the jam. Berries hand picked from the "body farm" as lyineyes likes to call it! LOL

Animal....LOL.....everytime I see a jar of pickles I think of our conversation! Still makes me laugh!

i hope you can forgive me.

scootergirl

Elsewhere........I appreciate your apology. Thank you. I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned in life. Everything we do is a cause and an effect. There is a lesson to learn in this for all of us.....non of us are human and are allowed to make mistakes and learn by them.

Theme Songs for Leaving the WTS

here is an edited version of a favorite of mine:.

with apologies to the eagles .

already gone well, i heard some people talkin' just the other day and they said you were gonna put me on a shelf but let me tell you i got some news for you and you'll soon find out it's true and then you'll have to eat your crap all by yourself 'cause i'm already gone and i'm feelin' strong i will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo

scootergirl

Awhile back, WildTurkey posted the lyrics to this song by Rascal Flatts. I downloaded it and ever since then, this song as been "it". For me it speaks so much of my life.....

"I'm Moving On"I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived that I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

Now that you are EXJW, what do you teach your children about Spirituality?

by LyinEyes in

jw
friends

most of you know that my youngest son, 8, is a little worry wart.......he is always worrying about death, mainly me dying.

he has been to doctors when he was younger for ptsd, ocd, and addh.

what are you doing in teaching your children spiritual things?

scootergirl

Being a parent is hard......especially when it comes to our children's spirituality. I have three children (12, 10 and 3).......what I have taught them is this:

Be true to yourself. Live w/out hypocricy, w/out judgement.......live your life so that when you go to bed at night you can sleep w/a guilty free conscience. Mistakes aren't "bad"....they are made so that we can learn by them, and to love unconditonally. I teach them that to have sprituality doens't mean attending a brick and motar church......no man has the right to tell you how to worship your Higher Power. They are taught to respect life and respect others......but especially respect themselves. I hope that they grow into people w/integrity and stand up for what they believe-no matter what that is. As far as death is concerned, I have taught them that no one knows exactly what happens after we die.....but not to live a life for a reward of the after-life. If they live in the here and now and live to be good people, that they need not be worried about what happens after we die. Let the mystery be.

My children have talked to me about what would happen if I died. It breaks my heart.......but reality is, it could happen. I have told them (especially my oldest)that life would go on. That I would be w/them everyday in the heart. But to worry about such a thing is fruitless......that we need to appreciate each and every moment we have together NOW.
