Kinda like pr capone on this one. Losing my last g/f. That is the only time I wished there was a way to go back in time just a few hours and fix what went wrong.

Other than that, just the times I listened to others rather than going with my own instincts - that just never works.

Do you like cops?

by JH in

i know many people who don't like cops and even give them all kinds of names.

some may be nice, but many think they are superior to the ordinary citizen.

i see so many doing radar on bottom of hills where automatically you will go over the speed limit.

I have a long time friend that is in the Dallas police dept. and another friend that is currently in the Ft Worth police academy - She graduates this month. In general I'd say I have no problems with cops. I'm certainly not one of those people that talk trash about 'em. Never know - just might need their help one day.

What's the funniest gag / stunt you saw 'in service'?

by DFWnonJW in

just curious here <eg>.

i've heard of plenty of teenagers knock-n-running but that's rather on the dull side.

so what's the funniest bit of slapschtick you've seen or heard of witnesess pulling while getting in the time quota?

This supposedly happened years ago in Calif. A young brother out in service saw a statue in front of a Church - Jesus with both hands outstretched. Watchtower, Awake, Jesus statue at church. Hmmmmmmmm

When the brother left the scene, Jesus was holding a WT in one hand and the Awake in the other. Gotta get a mental image of that.

I'm Sorry

i counted how many times i've said that today.

as best i can remember, it's 15 times.. "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to make so much noise.".

"i'm sorry, i didn't know you were on the phone, i would have stopped playing piano.".

What is there left to say about a woman who is so sorry about just being alive and inconveniencing people with her presence?

Oh (((Beryl))) the sad thing is that anyone feels that way at anytime. I can say that because I feel exactly the same way sometimes (and not even being a woman!) Please find the humor in the fact that my second post in your Crisis of Conscience thread started with the word "Sorry" and it was directed to you of course (birds of a feather?). I hope some of the ideas of these wonderfully caring people on this board help and you get to feeling better about yourself!

(I'm sorry, I didn't know I was Canadian!)

Would you go to an apostofest?

.

regularly, we hear of different apostofests.

have you ever been to one, and would you go to an apostofest?

DFWnonJW

Been to one full out fest, one mini-fest and hope to be able to attend the Green Bay fest and it's a 1200 mile trip! If you like to laugh, chat and generally be around people then I'd suggest making your plans to attend one ASAP. It's a blast to meet the folks from here that have spilled their souls out in these pages and see that they're all just regular folks (well with maybe an exception here or there).

Never know until you go.

Sorry if I sounded flippant way back up there. I have to remember back to when I first heard of the book and how I kept putting off buying it. But after several months of not wanting to know, I had it in my hands and started reading - could not put it down. Seems like reading this book is a validation that what we believed just wasn't what it was portrayed as. A necessary step along the way though and you will be glad you read it.

bttt (I sure am glad I finally learned what that means!)

There's a reason I asked this question but I can't divulge it just yet If my plan doesn't pan out, well I hope at least there is some interesting reading.

Nina, I'll bet that was fun! A break in the monotony at least :) I can picture a JWVW bus driving down the highway with snowballgeddon erupting inside.
