  i was posting on here that hubby died..can you believe it has been 6 years?.

  i know there are many that don't post here anymore, but for those that are still here and remember..i just want to tell you i have never forgotten your kindness when i was having so much heartache.. thank you all again.. life is easier now..my daughter talks to her jw grandma about once a year..and the conversation is very general... my heart still hurts but it is easier now..and i still hug the little doggie that hubby gave me on valentines day the year before he died.. i started writing a journal right after he died and kept it up for 5 years..and finally i let go.

  but i do still talk to him.... as i said before..thank you all..snoozy..aka golden girl...

  You got it. Just thought the 2x4 was a funny juxtaposition with all the high tech gear. Plus I wanted to show off my handi-work.

  This animal can out-debate the Pope and all his bible bashing bishops

  She's a fussy eater too, prefering microlina grass (seeds worth $3,000+/kilo).

  I love my compact camera's 10x zoom and it's ability to twist (saves a lot of awkward positioning) but I wish it had more than 6MP.

  What's always amazed me is how all the Australian animals made the journey to the middle east, went for a boat ride with Noah and walked, hopped, scurried and swam all the way back again after landing on Mt Ararat. I guess the possoms, platypus, echidnas, anti-chines, koalas, wombats, bilbies, reptiles, macropods, kookaburras, lyrebirds ... carried Australia's unique insects on their backs and their pouches were used to bring back Australian seeds and mountain dwelling fish. The congo-line of bush critters must have been quite a sight.

  or did they just get forgot?

  The article implies they're not being 'proffesional' but those guys have the right idea.

  With camera in hand, looks mean nothing, it's all about the picture.

  unc who photographs

  but it appears firefox won't let me upload to photobucket

  th is an interesting point.

  apostates always bang on about watchtower double speak and the way the society twists words, investing them with mind-control triggers but rarely do we hear about censorship by omission, the words jw's can't speak.

  Great replies, thanks folks.

  "magic word"

  I asked a 5 yr old what the magic word was, when he asked me for a lifesaver. ( I was trying to get him to say please)

  He asked his mother and she told him we don't believe in magic. Apparantly they didn't believe in being polite either

  I tried that too loosie,

  my girl thought a while, smiled and replied "abracadabra!" .. cheeky kid .. another word forbiden by Watchtower decree.

  ps: love the X belbab. I wonder what o is a symbol for? Sounds like a pagan fertility symbol to me.

  I don't know if this subject has been raised before and would like to hear more. Is there such a thing as a Cone of Silence Dictionary for words and phrases banned by Watchtower inducement and Kingdom Hall snobbery? Obvious ones relate to terms dear to Christendom and Babylon the Great.

  Let's make a list folks.

  Sayings that will get you councelled :

  Praise the Lord

  Halleluya!

  WTF?

  Merry Christmas

  Happy Birthday

  MILF

  God Willing

  Gawd Blimey

  Heck

  Sh*t

  Christ!
