  Life sucks

  all right- all those out there who own pets, or have owned pets will hopefully see my point of view and understand.

  the rest of you can point and laugh at my weakness.... my cat is dying.

  she is 119 in people years, i guess it's to be expected that she go sometime, but still it sucks!

  Your post really hits home for me. I had never had a pet live a LONG life until my "Siamese SOB". His name was Gobel McKenzie Reeves Greene. We called him Gobie. He lived for 2 months shy of 20 years. My son was 16 when he died and he had never known a single day of life that Gobie wasn't in. My husband is the REAL cat fancier in my family, but we all loved Gobie. He was a member of my family, dammit. Like your precious one, Gobie couldn't walk or see before he passed away. It gets me teary eyed even now (this was about 6 years ago). I still miss that cat. We have another cat now, but there ain't no way she will ever replace Gobie. He looked a lot like your cat, and I really feel your pain. Believe me, you will miss her, but she will be a lot better off than she is now. The pain will ease, but you will always have your wonderful memories of her. We still tell funny stories about Gobie, and probably always will. He was a character!

  Anyway, (((((((((Jo))))))))))))

  I don't know what your beliefs are, but I'm gonna pray for you anyway to feel better!

  Do some people love trauma and tragedy?

  i have never considered myself to be full of a bunch of trauma and tragedy.

  at least when i compare it to some.. have you ever known the type of people though, that always have something new happening that is traumatic.

  you know the type, if it isn't a sick child it is a argument.

  You may call them borderlines, or some other medical term, but where I come from, we call them "high maintenance"!

  Thanks for the laughs!!! I have made a copy of it and will distribute it throughout my office and to all my friends. Sometimes we need a reminder that living according to Mosaic law is not what life is all about, and that to observe one law and not all of them makes as much sense as "tits on a boar hog" (as my mama used to say!)

  I was ALMOST sucked into Mormonism as a teenager, and would like to take this opportunity to advise you to beware of Mormonism at all costs. They believe that God comes from the planet Kolob, and that he is married. We along with Jesus and Satan are all his children. They further believe that man (notice I said man as in the male of the species, not mankind!) will one day transcend and become a god in another universe.

  Of course, they don't tell you this when they have their little bicycles sitting on your front lawn, and wearing their little short sleeved white shirts. They are a CULT, just as the JWs are and I recommend only one course of action....

  RUN!!!!!!!!

  i am having a very difficult time and i am here right now because i know in my heart, that when i explain what has just happened to me a few minutes ago, you will understand.

  many of you are no doubt going through the same thing.. within several posts here, i have spoken of my mother.

  my dear sweet mother, who just turned 78, and who has been a faithful jw since 1959. she abandoned me in 1981, when i decided to leave the borg, and for twelve years she did not speak to me, write to me, call me, or visit me.

  Karen--

  I don't have any magic words either, but I surely do hope and pray that you can find some peace in your life. Try to remember that this is YOUR only life, and that things like this are far beyond your control. Make your peace with the situation and move on. Please don't live the rest of your life miserable because of someone else's decision. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep your chin up, girl.

  Oh my GAWD, I almost missed this thread. I live in a closet-sized town, but believe it or not, there have been many celeb sightings:

  Ted Turner--driving down the street in my hometown (this was pre-Jane Fonda)

  Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Pat Boone, Phil Harris--in my hometown for a golf tournament even more years ago than the Ted Turner sighting--but I got to TOUCH Dean Martin's arm (is that just as good as rubbing elbows?), and his limo(borrowed from the local funeral home) almost ran over my toe.

  At the Atlanta airport: David Keith, Andrew Young.

  At the Ruby Tuesday restaurant in Powder Springs, GA: Travis Tritt and BEAUTIFUL wife and two kids.

  Musically speaking, in Atlanta (which is about 60 miles from my hometown): John Prine, Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver(extremely sweet and friendly), Waylon Jennings and Jessie Colter, Mike Nesmith (former Monkee, and my personal favorite), Richard Harris, Osmond Brothers (and their Mom and Dad, and Marie (before she grew up!))

  Not bad for a girl that AIN"T BEEN NOWHERES and AIN"T DONE NUTHIN'

  Is this the most important thread on this site?

  by Mindchild in

  dear friends,.

  in light of the recent events on this site and the birthing of a new ex-jw online forum by bboy, i thought the most important thing i can offer any who are interested is an opportunity to positively and personally promote changes to make your online experience here not only more fun, but more rewarding to you personally.

  i did a lot of searching for information about the evolution and changing of online communities and i discovered this article below that just blew me away with its insight and practicality.

  do your eyes ever get tired from rolling back into your head? it must be hell putting up with all of us way down here beneath you! This "community" is great. Even with the childish bickering, it is a microcosm of real life and I wouldn't change a thing!

  i have just come back from a great mini vacation (two days).

  it is so good to be out of the borg and not be troubled by borg-rules anymore and just do whatever i wanna do.

  I have only been here for a short time myself, and I feel the same way. I look forward everyday to having a moment to check out what is happening on the forum. It is a great way to relax. I post occasionally, but rarely in the serious posts when people are debating some issue of JWville because I have never been a dub (see, I've learned a lot of the language, too) I read a LOT of them though. You begin to feel like you know the people who are posting. I have begun to have some affection for some of the posters. Some because they are clever, some because they are smart, some because they are funny, and some just because they are soooooo stupid. It hurts me to see the discord lately and I just hope that it does in fact blow over soon. I love all of you people and would snap my fingers and make you all happy if I could. Hang in there, I for one am pulling for the group to get over their differences and get along on a human level.----Omie

  I love Mambo on a man (light application only please!)

  As far as for myself, I love light musky scents, vanilla--but hubby loves for me to wear Cinnabar, so I do on special occasions just for him.

  Just thought I might revive this thread, considering the number of Prine fans that may have missed it...

  sixofnine: I had been listening to "The Great Compromise" for years, but one night I was lying in the floor with headphones on listening to it again. It hit me like a ton of bricks that this song wasn't about going to the drive in at all, it was all about going to VIETNAM! I am too dam lazy to type all the lyrics, but I know you will know the song. If you haven't already seen the "Vietnam, getting drafted" theme in the song, listen again please. I made my husband listen again and he freaked. His college prof (this was years ago) even used the lyrics in his Lit class (after hubby shared them with him) to illustrate hidden meanings in literature. In my mind, John Prine is a genius. He invents words (afterneath--in the song "Saddle in the Rain") he paints some of the funniest and truest pictures of life that I have ever seen ("ain't it funny how an old broken bottle, looks just like a diamond ring") or (" it's liking dying in a house of mirrors with no one around to close your eyes") The man transcends clever!!!

  Well, it is off my John Prine soapbox now. Anyone else love him a bunch?
