I really like that idea!
Me? My lifestyle would not change other than the bills would be paid off. Do a little traveling with the family. Definately attend more apostafests! And take eyegirl out to dinner.....let her pick whatever she wanted off the menu! LOL

for music lovers everywhere.. don't buy cd's from supermarkets.please.thats an order!.
there just been a report in britian that supermarkets are increasing their share of the recorded music market by selling cheap cd's.. why is this bad news?surly if you can get a cd from tescos for a tenner instead of 15 quid this is good?noooooooooooooooooo.. i say that again , no.. lets look at it.supermarkets can sell cd's and other items cheap because they make a profit on the other goods you buy.they use the offer of cheap cd's to entice you into their store.they only sell chart cd's otherwise they will make a loss on more obscure music which won't sell in bulk.. if you love music and wish to buy music or listen to good new music in the years to come, you are shooting yourself in the foot if you buy your music from supermarkets at a lower price.it is a false ecomony.this is why.when you hear a piece of music you like in a few years time which is not chart music and go to you local independant or specialist music store you will see a big sign on the door ,closed.they will have shut down because lack of sales when all their customers went to the cheapo market ment they could no longer survive.. they had to charge more for music becausea.it was the only thing they sellb.they stocked all types of music and would not make money on some bands and would make up for it with more popular bands.cthey could get the music you wanted on special order if they didn't have what you were looking ford.they had knowledge of music and bands which was readily available to you if needed.and a good few other things.. you are not saving anything if you buy cheap.if you like music you need to support the peole who want to supply it,and offer quality, which in the case of music includes choice, not just marketed corporate crap, not those in it for a quick buck.they need to charge more but have a far greater range of product, one which a supermarket will never have,ever.. you have been warned.
yes, ballistic, you can search muscians, titles, users. I use kaZaA daily and have absolutely no regrets nor any guilt downloading the music.
my group, sons of liberty riders, is having its annual meeting/party in little rock, arkansas this coming weekend.
i will be leaving phoenix and heading up thru flagstaff to 40, then east on 40 to arkansas.
if you live along this route and want to meet up for a quick coffee or something, email me at [email protected] .
I AM SO JEALOUS OF LYINEYES! *sigh*
I don't wear a helmet either. Personal reasons and I hate it when people lecture me about wearing one!
And I agree w/animal........riding a bike is VERY relaxing to me. Nothing better in the world........all of your senses are alive! The only problem is that I wish that we had a longer riding season here in MN
here's a concern... i've been shunned by my family for going on 3 months... and so what?
is it wrong that i don't seem to miss them?
i know that this can be painful for many and i wonder why it doesn't seem to bother me?
For me, after awhile I learned acceptance. I accept that my family won't talk to me. I accept their decision to stay in their faith. I accept my decision and the consequences that followed. I no longer beat myself over the head begging for them to love me. I have learned what I have control over and what I don't.
Anyone who has suffered a loss in their life understands the cycle of grief. You go thru denial and anger then ACCEPTANCE.
I no longer ache and hurt like I use to. I realize what my reality is and that is that I will never be part of the family that I was born into. My theory, this is reality-reality is being shunned. I have lived just about as many years without my parents than with......and I am a much better person than I was way back then.
hey everyone!
tink and i attended our first apostate meetup here in tn.
it was absolutely great.
What great pictures! Lots of great looking people, could anyone look any happier?! Thanks for sharing!
mulan and i are off to the "happiest place on earth", disneyland.
we are leaving early monday and will be back late friday.
oh yeah, we're taking the kids too.. be nice now.
Oh Man! I am jealous! Have fun! Make sure you each by yourself some mouse ears and have your names embroidered!
i was just wondering, how many of us here took up smoking after we left the witnesses?
i have to admit that it was just about the very first thing that i did when i finally received that sumbeam of enlightenment that jw's were simply not anything special.
i drove out to a country pub, bought 2 panatellas and a half of red barrel, and spluttered my way through my first cigar n' pint.
Dont let your kids be rude.
Amen, Animal. Amen.

I have smoked on and off for the past 10 years. I smoke for a few months and then quit for a few months with the exception of when I was pregnant. As soon as I found out I would quit cold turkey and not smoke for quite awhile after the babies were born. I know I should quit......*sigh*
Talking about smells.......the smell of cherry blend tobacco in a pipe I LOVE! Reminds me of my grandpa when I was little!
how would you react if doctors come up with a test that could determine if your son would turn out to be gay when he grows up?
how would you react?
i personally, having two young sons myself, would not want to know.
I've said this before,and I will say it again.......
I would sooner one of my children be gay/lesbian than be a dub! And that is the God's honest truth!
