Hi all ; I went to the gym; then for a drink.I was truly STUNNED not to get an invite this year first time in 12 or 13 years-I guess they don't want me then!!i'm going on an Easter Egg hunt tomorrow morning; and attended the school Easter service on Friday which was SO NICE; lots of poems saying 'thankyou jesus, for chicks and chocolate' etc,etc!!!Watched Charlton Heston dragging the Cross up the hill with the children.(not literally!).. .now feel perfectly saintly and after giving due thought to situation, feel totally justified in eating all my eggs tomorrow;before breakfast, of course.HAPPY EASTER!XXX

THE RED TENT by Anita Diamant.This book is currently blowing me away!A book of womanhood, told through the eyes of Dinah;this book is so richly descriptive it takes your breath away.I have never read something so evocative and moving.Lust,sibling rivalry,infertility, humour,jealously,murder,ambition,betrayal...and so earthily intimate.I have to tell you to get this book-it's incredible!

Hi there you; sorry to hear you're sad- why not try to get her to tell you why she thinks JW's are a cult and any other worries she has?You could research them together, here, using the search facility and show her you are willing to research her fears;it may lead to greater understanding between you ; and maybe even the beginning of a new start. Good Luck! xxx

At our hall it tended to be done in a sly way; some of the mums(why always them?)would ...PICK UP the child and then FORCE them down really hard; whilst in their seats,all the while whispering threats and SQUEEZING them really hard on the arms,and pinch them hard.I think as it was done in a whisper and in situ they thought it acceptable...no one noticed... you should have seen the MARKS and their terrified little faces...it was the threatening whispers I hated to see more than anything else; I always wondered what they could say to a two year old that would stop it dead in it's tracks?

Is it REALLY next Thursday?This is the first time in all the years I associated that I hav'nt had one. Guess i'm beyond help then?!!!!!JEM, can't you just be ill?then you get some breathing space; I know those who have an axe embedded in their heads or who are in traction STILL manage to drag themselves there like some kind of self flagulation;but if you had a really bad case of the 'runs' or projectile vomiting.......Don't do it,you know you don't want to; have a glass of wine with me instead.X

By the way Geordie; talking of festivals etc, did you ever go to the Elephant Fayre on the port elliot estate in Cornwall?What a festival that was, muddier than Glastonbury and NO HIPPIES ALLOWED!I survived for 4 days on potatoes cooked in a fire,burnt, and cider.Then we had to push all the bikes out of the mud at the end.AND I PAID FOR THE PRIVILEDGE!Nice friends though,I always had all male bikers for friends and they were so sweet and protective,god, i'd forgotten all those trips out, MAG runs etc,Iwonder where they all are now?We used to laugh so much;when witnesses used to talk about how awful bikers were etc I used to think 'but they're SOOO much nicer than you...Happy days

I used to ride a Suzuki GT 380. It was lovely, low and chunky. I used to teach kids to pass their part 1 (IS IT STILL CALLED THAT?!)All a long time ago now, I did get the urge to get another a while back, but then a friend was killed on his and I remembered why I bought a horse instead.you know the rush you get when you're accelerating hard? well on a horse it feels twice as good and these babies have brains to get you out of tight spots too!!but now my son wants to trial ride so I guess it'll all start again!!!

Hello mcbride (you sound like an associate of Clint Eastwood!) Yes, you're not halucinating, I remember this too and have been checking the threads on the un /scandals for 4 months now.Hopefully they'll get a move on.Surely it's in their best interests to do so ,after all they did appear rather stupid; not knowing what the wtbs really thought of them. Perhaps a few letters to the un DEMANDING an investigation would'nt go amis? The more they realise many people know about this; the more urgent an investigation may be, afterall, they would'nt want to appear to have been hoodwinked by a bunch of crack pots-would they??!!!And then we'll see if a write up of the investigation can appear in the press- oh joy.
