My Story
by Kep inmy mother and grandmother are dubs, so it was a part of my life from the start.
both my dad and grandfather weren't, so it was what they call a divided household.. that sucked coz, after the meeting we were hurried off home to please the unbelieving mate.. so i never got to have real friends at the meetings and never had any activities outside of school.. as i got older i began to fit in with the school mates but felt restrained as we always had meetings to go to.. to cut a long story short, i got baptised when i was 18, had trouble keeping on top of meetings and witnessing etc.... i went weak, then inactive, found myself a girlfriend, non-witness, talked her thru the issues and problems i was going thru and so she decided to study.. we got married, she was baptised and things were going good.. as they were always pushing at assemblies to pioneer we felt we had to do that.. so as our circumstances allowed, she began pioneering.. you know, i look back and can say there was so much pressure put on couples who didn't have a family to seek first the kingdom.. as i had a checkered past according to some in the congo, it was a battle to attain privilidges.
but i worked at it, i would auxillary pioneer each year and use my vacation time to do it, brown nose the co each time he visited, and bend over backwards to do anything the elders wanted done.. and as time passed i became a ministerial servant.. then in order for me to become an elder i had to really work my ass off.. so i did, i sorted things out so i could also become a regular pioneer.. after 18 months of doing that plus continually working hard for the org i was appointed elder.. my family was stoked.. i had a sister whose husband had also been appointed elder, my other sister was a regular pioneer and my brother was living with me and doing as much as he could.

Mr. Moe, I loved your description of your ideal man; sounds like you've found him.
BTW, don't long-distance relationships suck?! My guy's in Canada and can't cross the border and I'm stuck here in the states.

Lilacs, I love that song; I can really relate to it also. Skeptic and I saw JoDee Messina at the Puyallup fair last Sept. and she sang that song from her upcoming CD.....she was really great!

Care to share your sexiest......
by WindRider inwhat 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?.

I've always looked for a man who is well-read; intelligent. A man who can talk on a wide variety of subjects....from the current hot discoveries in Astronomy(a favorite interest of mine)to the current trend in fashion, and anything in between.
A man with a sense of humor and can actually laugh at himself and life in general(that makes the hard times more bearable.
Someone who is very much a man in the truest sense of the word: masculine, strong, dependable and yet is in touch with his feelings. My guy isnt hung up on being able to cry. I dont equate sensitivity with being weak at all.
A man who will challenge me and my ideas and allows me to do the same with him; I find verbal sparring or debate with my mate to be very sexy. Like someone else pointed out, someone who can teach me things and isnt afraid to learn a thing or two from me as well.
My man is someone whom I can share the quiet beauty of things with.....like taking a walk in the woods in winter or staring out over the endless ocean at sunset, not saying a word necessarily but sharing the same moment just the same and knowing he gets it.
I would say never stop looking for the person you dream of being with, because the more you know yourself and what you want, the easier it is to know that person when you see them....and they are so worth the wait! I had all but given up and then I met Skeptic on H20 and fell in love with my soulmate and nothing can compare with that.

my son's poem
by lauralisa inmy son is fifteen years old.
he is a portrait of conflict.
he has a lot of weird, definition-avoidant neurological problems (adhd, ocd, latent tourettes syndrome.... "those" kinds of things.

WindRider
Yes, LauraLisa, your son's words are important and so is he.
I empathize with what you are going through and what he is going through. I often wrote poetry growing up; still do and it helped. I would encourage your son to continue opening up through his written words and continue to cherish him.Difficult as your son's poem was to read, I could really feel his conflict and pain, it was well-written and hopefully gave him an outlet for coping.
