sometimes, i try to be sad.. as the sun sets low, turning the rugged hills of arizona into soft, purple, fuzzy-looking rumpled cones, dappled in the red-orange reflections of failing sunlight, i stand upon a hill.

i try to reflect on what could have been.. i could have been part of a family that was close -- a family that hugged, laughed and cried together, always.

a family that strove not to take everything personally, but to see that even our attacks, especially our attacks, are projections of our own insecurities.

WindRider

Mike, I empathize with your sadness at not getting the understanding or at least acceptance from your parents that you should. I am however, very happy for you that you have been able to nuture that sort of family you long for with your wife and children.

BTW, you have a wonderful, descriptive writing style. Also, what part of Arizona are you from? I've been there a few times and fell in love with Tuscon. Such quiet, majestic beauty.

Care to share your sexiest......

by WindRider in

what is the most romantic/sexiest thing you've ever done?.

for me, one of the most daring things i've ever done was to pick up my boyfriend at the bus station wearing only my raincoat and high heels.......when we got in the car i gave him a peek at what was under the coat.

we didnt make it any farther than a nearby dimly lit parking lot without laying down the seats and steaming the windows.. ok; who's next?.

WindRider

Slipnslide, that is SOOOO romantic! You have flair! And did you get what you asked Santa for for Christmas that year?

Sky, what a romantic setting......too bad your guy turned out to be a jerk.

Silly Valentines day question for any moms out....

by betweenworlds in

silly question for any moms out there with elementary school kids.... due to my dub upbringing i am seriously holiday impaired.

i know this question is going to sound really stupid, but here 'goes anyhow .

you know when the little kids in elementary school pass out valentines to each other?

WindRider

Hi BetweenWorlds, (BTW, I like your name; it really says it all)

I have 2 boys, 6 and 14, and have had the teachers who gave out class lists so that no one was forgotten and have had the teachers who didnt want anyones name on the cards so that you made sure that no one was left out by accident...those teachers just made sure you knew how many kids were in the class so that you could send that many to be passed out.
The other thing that can be nice is that often in the younger grades of elementary esp. teachers allow/encourage parents to bring in treats for the kids such as valentine cookies or cupcakes. I always liked doing this because it gave me a chance to do something out of the ordinary for my son's class.....sort of make up for the first few years he wasnt able to partake in any way when other kid's mom's would come in and do special things.

What is Jehovah's Will Today?

by SexyTeen in

jw
friends

i have a quick question: what is jehovah's will today and who is doing it?

WindRider

Hi Stacie/Stacey (sorry, I can't remember which way you say you usually spell it)

Is the work you do over at YoYomama's home babysitting your little cousin, was it? And if so, do you babysit for your aunt and uncle quite regularly?

The reason I ask is that as I understand it, the only way you have access to a computer is over at YoYo's house. I was thinking that you must babysit an awful lot to be able to be on his computer so often.....weekdays as well as weekends. Also, this is your uncle YoYo's work computer, is it not? Can he afford to free it up so often for you to come here and chat with everyone all the time? I would think at least during the weekdays he would be needing it for his own business related needs.

Sincerely curious,
Windrider

How sweet...Not knowing when family dies....

by DanielHaase in

ahhh, just blowing off a little steam here...perhaps many of you have been through the same shit.

i knew for the past couple of years that my uncle in mobile was dying of cancer.

well, the last time my mother and i talked (around october i think)she said, "well, we were in mobile all last weekend for uncle *****'s funeral".

WindRider

Sorry for the pain you are feeling, Daniel. How DARE anyone or any group have the audacity to decide whether you can be at someone's funeral or even be given the chance to spend one last visit with that person before they die!! Sometimes I get so mad I could just scream at the outrage! [>:(]

After I Da'd myself, one of my closest friends was in the hospital for two weeks, dying from complications of her diabetes. I would have been at her side and NO ONE could have stopped me if I had only known. She and I were so close, closer than I am with my own sister, and she even wanted me there. She begged one of the elders to get a hold of me and he said he would but never did of course.
Finally, in a stupid and vain attempt to console her, he pointed out that surely she did not want to mar her last moments on this earth by spending any time in the company of an apostate.....she was so weak and sick she finally just gave in.

I had no idea that she had turned so ill until my estranged husband got hold of me and informed me that she was dead and was buried a week ago. I just burst out in such anguished tears; I just couldnt believe it! She was only 39yrs old. I was shocked and asked him why he didnt get ahold of me when I could have actually seen her one last time?! He said that the elders told him that it would be better if I didnt know.....that way my feelings could be spared by not knowing that I wasnt wanted at the funeral as they would never permit me into the Hall during the funeral. Ah, so it was MY feelings they were trying to protect! Wow! Cant you just feel the love! I have a hard time ever forgiving those elders involved and that is a shame because I am by nature a very forgiving person.

Sorry, Daniel! Dont mean to be depressing.

A question to people born in the Borg*

by Abaddon in

jw

* that anyone can respond to even if they weren't born in, or even if they never were in the borg.

the question is;.

"when do you first remember realising that you were a jw, and that the rest of the world wasn't?!.

WindRider

Like most it was school that really brought it home to me. I can remember the summer I turned 5, a couple of months before Kindergarten would start, and my mom and I sitting down and rehearsing what I would do and say in regards to why I couldnt say the "pledge of allegiance".

I remember then, feeling a weight of responsibility on me to not make a mistake and to always try my best to give a "good witness" to the teacher and all the friends in my class (who would never actually be allowed to be my friends at all!

By the time Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's day had rolled around I began to really see just how different a kid I was.

I am a daddy!

my daughter was born at 9:05am tuesday morning.

she's a skinny little thing, 7 pounds 5 ounces, with a shock of black hair, her father's chin, her mother's eyes, and a fetish for sucking on fingertips that neither of us recognize in ourselves.

i'll post pictures when i have them up somewhere ... meanwhile, foxy and i are trying to catch as much sleep as possible, which is precious little sleep at all.

WindRider

Im so happy for you all! She is going to be Daddy's little girl, I can tell.......Congratulations.
