  hi, anyone have any holiday plans for the summer?.

  we hope to go to canada to visit relatives and maybe go down to san-diego to take the kids round the zoo & sea-world.

  went there a couple of years ago on business and it was incredible!.

  Thanks to Mim for the BTTT.

  Simon hope you can make it across the pond to visit. Alberta is a beautiful province. I think next to Ontario, they have it made there. Awesome flatlands, slowly rising up to the foothills, just spectacular.

  Banff and Jasper....well, most spectacular places on the North American continent.

  CJ and I have a travel trailer, 23 footer, that has fold out beds on the ends that extend to 30 feet.

  The moment camping season starts ( which is Queen Victoria Day in May ) we are on the road, and at our favourite camp site, at a provincial park named Sleeping Giant. It is so called because it is a pennisula that extends 45 km into Lake Superior, and when viewed from our city It resembles a Native Canadian ( Indian, as we were once allowed to call them ) with full headress on, lying on his back with arms folded, guarding the silver mine.

  The campground is spectacular. Beautiful sand beach, at the edge of a smaller interior lake, hundreds of miles of biking and hiking trails, which lead to the highest points of land in Ontario, where you can look out onto Lake Superior, see for incredibly long distances, watching the sailboats racing and ocean ships coming in to harbour for grains.

  3 more weeks.....

  Now maybe Simon can tell us what he has done in the 2 years since and what his plans are for this year ?

  are you still the same basic person that you were when you were a witness.

  if you were idealstic, then, are you still now?

  if you were a pessimist, are you an optimist, now?

  Hey PleasureDome......of I don't wear the Y fronts class....( still chuckling over that one )

  YEAH...the 2 Ronnies.

  They used to play a lot of British comedy here on CBC, in the later hours on the weekends, and I would stay up late on Friday, and Saturday nights to watch showa like the " 2 Ronnies " and " Are You Being Served " and of course my late night, favourite.......Benny Hill.

  Of course, if my parents knew I was watching TV, they would be peeved. I had this old black and white Eatons TecoMaster floor model, c/w 8 " angled legs,and finished in straw yellow, that my parents were going to throw out, but I convinced the to let me keep. I would throw my clothes at the bottom of the door to block out the light so they wouldn't know I was watching.

  No wonder I was in no shape to go out in service Saturday morning.

  OcoleO Peace to you. I hope you find the truth. It is not where you are now. You are uncomfortable, and troubled.

  You try to dismiss your discomfort by posting here. Those troublesome feelings, that disturb your REM after a fitful sleep, will not pass, until you find the answers, you know are out there.

  Your post was presented only to try to convince yourself.

  We wish you well, and are here to assist you if you so desire.

  i know of very few people that helped bring people in the "truth".

  even those who concentrated on their own families usually realize that their children do not want the "truth".

  most publishers were disorganized with regard to their return visits and house-to-house records.

  What's Your Standard Riposte When You Come Face To Face With A JW?

  i was just recalling the first few years when i was a well known apostate dub, a man of the world, an outcast to be shunned!.

  back then, when i was still a familiar sight, before new dubs who did not recognise me came on the scene, i would often be ignored whilst in town shopping or even whilst imbibing a quick half in the pub.. i quickly realised that there wasn't much satisfaction in being on the receiving end of a snub, or, as h.g.

  wells so splendidly described it in "kipps": "cut!

  I borrowed this from Way Gooder 64.......

  I presume by all time favourites, you may be referring to some of the oldies but goodies, so take a stroll down memory lane with me.

  I loved Westerns when I was a kid, but wasn't allowed to watch the very often becasue they were too Violent LOL

  Bonanza

  Gunsmoke

  Wild Wild West

  The Lone Ranger.....used to love listening the the radio serial too !

  Science Fiction is my still my favourite though !

  Remember this one. Space 1999. Every Saturday afternoon on CBC

  And as for comedy:

  The Bob Newhart Show....both the original and the sequel:

  Hogan's Heroes

  Green Acres

  I used to borrow 8 mm films from the library to watch this. Little Rascals

  Beverly Hillbillies....had to rank up there on the Stupid Meter, right along with Green Acres.

  Adam - 12

  Man from U.N.C.L.E.

  Green Hornet

  And the great thing about this is, a lot of these show are avaialble on satellite on channels like TV Land and Deja-Vu.
