  Just had my first "cold call"

  by onacruse in

  2. friends

  in the course of the last 3 years, i've had just one visit from jws: a visit from from an old bethel roomate and another elder, just to check up on me, and see if i might want to rejoin the fold.

  you might well be able to imagine my responses.

  then, last weekend, a nice young fellow (mitch) and his young (teenage) daughter, stopped by, while i was working in the yard.

  I once used the same line on a JW who came to "encourage" me. "I'm very happy now," I said.

  She responded, "Perhaps you only think you're happy."

  "What's the difference between thinking one is happy and actually being happy?"

  No answer....

  Peterson verdict - Double standard?

  by chappy in

  1. social
  2. current

  peterson was convicted of murdering his unborn son.

  the law in 30+ states says that taking the life of an unborn fetus is murder.

  would someone please explain how a non-human can be murdered?

  Killing someone who has done that is quite rightly not classed as murder (ie. execution).

  I find myself in the uncomfortable position of agreeing with Simon.

  While I appreciate what Bikerchick is saying, the black & white statement: "murder is murder" is baffling to me. Is taking a human life ever justified?

  Yes I agree it is a double standard but it's aimed to please the few not the majority. Murder is murder plain and simple.

  Who are the "few" in your quote above that a double standard is aimed to please?

  The fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your gun. And the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point five O" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence.

  "Snatch" circa 2000

  Compromise

  by teejay in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  one of the fundamental keys to a successful marriage.

  doing stuff you wouldn't ordinarily do... stuff you don't and wouldn't ever do by nature, but you do it because you're married to this particular person.

  without it a marriage is, at best, an unhappy situation; at worst, a divorce waiting to happen.

  We all have boundaries we won't cross.

  What if, for example, you asked your spouse to watch hard-core porn with you as a way to enhance your intamacy? Is that a line she would not cross?

  On the other hand, if attending the occasional meeting (which usually means Memorial, the "Special Talk", or the CO visit), would make your relationship better and it doesn't cost you anything but boredom, why not do it? I've made that sacrifice for my Dub Daughter before. It meant the world to her and I gave up an hour of my time. I considered it a worthwhile investment.

  My turn?

  You know, there was a man that lived here once that had a prize-fighting kangaroo. Well, you just wouldn't believe what that kangaroo did to this courtyard!

  If I won the Lotto, I would buy one for you.

  My family and I once road on this, and I recommend it if you ever visit the West Coast of Canada.

  Vodka anyone???

  1. to remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka.

  the solvent dissolves adhesive.

  2. to clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean.

  If you're drinking the right brand of Vodka, all of these tips are ridiculously expensive. How about drug store rubbing alcohol instead?

  Kettle One, on the other hand, shaken with ice and just a fine mist of Vermouth...

  "That's a BIG chicken" comes from an aside comment by Woody Allen in "Sleeper" (while looking at a giant chicken)

  Still cracks me up to this day.
