brrr!
it's cold in toronto tonight/this a.m. - i believe it went as low as -26c (minus 26 celsius) .
it was pretty freakin' cold.
As my mom would say in her colloquial, upstate New York way: "it's colder than a witch's titty!" Here in CT, USA it is now about zero degrees farenheit, supposed to warm slightly tomorrow to about low 20's so that it can snow on us................we haven't seen this weather in awhile...........

in a minimus moment, i find myself interested in knowing which buzz-words and phrases in jw publications stand out the most to you?
when i read wt literature, i constantly find myself astounded by how transparently cultish the language is.
in an earlier, unrelated thread, i said the following: .
The scripture somewhere in Psalms........."trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and do not lean upon your own understanding". Sorry, trusting in "Jehovah" put me in prison for twenty-five years, when if I had only listened to my own understanding, my gut, my higher self, I would have been history before I ever got baptized at eighteen years old.

"Jehovah's clean people"............lol...........finding out how really living in a fairy tale world that phrase was!
i am having the lousiest time ever!
two days ago, while my mind was still floating in sleep-wonder-land .. i got outta bed, walked to the stairs, and it went downhill from there.
literally.
{{{{{{VIV!}}}}}} (rubbing healing energy and herbal salves into your poor bruised body!) I fell down some stairs one time, preceded by a glass bowl! It's a wonder I didn't end up with broken bones and sliced flesh! I DO know how you feel! Take it slow, and easy, be good to yourself, get some herbal oil or cream to help heal yourself!
Love,
Terri
...what would you choose.
i'd pick japanese over my polish/german/scottish heritage any day.
i'm watching iron chef....damn, those japanese can cook a live octopus better than a mofo.
But I know what you mean, Logansrun. Whenever I watch Iron Chef I get caught up in the whole atmosphere of the thing and wish that I could be living in Japan and watching the show without the dubbing and subtitles, understanding it in Japanese and hearing the real voices of those participating.
Stephanus, you and LR need to get out more! That is one of the wierdest shows I've ever seen!
As for what nationality I would like to be, I like who and what I am native american and Canadian French, primarily.

well i did .....all the time.
it always bothered me that i couldn't even stay awake to thank my god.
i found out later many did the same.
CONSTANTLY, AND FELT EXTREMELY GUILTY AND UNSPIRITUAL ABOUT IT..............IF I REMEMBERED TO PRAY AT ALL.................

anyone here a sark fan?
i'm really geared up for reading her succulent wild women book after spending a few weeks on her marvelous message board.
it's quite the nurturing and creative place, if you like that kind of stuff.
I am familiar with SARK..............I like her whole attitude and the creative way she presents things!

what are birthmarks?
birthmarks are areas of raised or flat discolored skin that are usually visible on a baby's skin at birth.
they tend to be the result of an abnormal development of blood or lymph vessels, but no one knows the exact cause of all birthmarks.
I have two...........at least, hat have been with me since the beginning........one on the calf of my leg, about the size of a dime, medium brown in color.........the other one is right under my jawline........it consists of two dark brown spots.........I call it my vampire bite, because it looks like Dracula went for my jugular vein! My boyfriend has one on the cheek of his ass, about the size of a quarter, medium brown in color.......and even tho he is a strawberry blonde with freckled skin, he has a largish freckle on the very end of his nose that might be a birth mark. This is a really cool subject, thanks for bringing it up! The other night, I saw a Discovery channel program on himangeomas (sp?) This little girl had probably the worst case that any ever..........it was life threatening as it was growing down her throat! A Dr. in Arkansas, I think was able to reduce it with steroids and surgery! It was very interesting to watch!

one of the photos you won't see from nasa's latest mars mission is this one i acquired from one of my sources there at nasa.
they have indeed found evidence of life on mars but have classified the photo as above top secret due to its implications.
mike, champion of alabama jokes!
My my, is that thar a double wide I see???????????? LOL! Double wides are like JW's.........there is no place safe from them! LMAO!!
Terri of the you will never catch me living in a double wide class
last night i was snuggled up in my overstuffed living room chair, sipping wine by candlelight with bob seger tunes playing on the cd player.............it evoked quite a mood in me that followed me into this morning at work................two songs that touch/ed me deeply are posted below............how about anyone else.................anyone love bob seger?
if so, which of his tunes is your favorite?.
bob-seger's lyrics - her strut lyrics.
Yeah, Growedup, I am and I'm not.............I guess if I had to put it in words, I'd say I feel good about who I am and where I am about 99%..........the other 1% needs work........and, of course, there's always the old bugaboo relationship stuff that is there when you are living with someone............but, I guess the reason I had to post this was because I've felt soooo awful for so many years, never feeling comfortable, never being able to get rid of that nagging anxiety, that I wanted to share a good moment! LOL!
Gopher, I totally agree with you about that............that album was my ex's favorite album. I heard it sooo many times in the past, but, amazingly, last night when my now livein popped it into the CD it evoked mostly positive memories and feelings! There's a saying music soothes the savage beast.........it can, but it can also bring on deep hurt and pain also............been there, done that............there are a couple of songs that I could not listen to in the past without having a major melt down of negative emotions.........but, I've since heard them play, and the saying "time heals all wounds" is so true.........given enough time, our hearts and feelings heal............then we reach a whole new plateau of understanding and feeling........it's kinda magical in some ways!
