  spiders!!!

  i can handle any other bug, snakes, mice, etc....but get me near a spider, and i nearly have a breakdown.. this morning, i went to grab some clothes from the bathroom to wash, felt something crawling on my arm, looked down, giant, hairy, brown spider.

  i still have the heebie-jeebies, and i probably woke up the neighbors.. *shudder*.

  Our Heroes--past and present

  by Vita Nuova in

  i really hope to get a ton of responses for this topic, so even if you're just browsing through postings and topics, please add your two cents...however brief.

  i am really curious to know who our "heroes" are, those people we admire, identify with, emulate and recieve inspiration from.

  feel free to even list former heroes and perhaps why you were taken with admiration for them at that point in your life and maybe why you don't feel that way any longer.

  Where are the women?

  there seems to be almost an equal number of men and women who profess to be of the 144000 destined fro heaven.

  does the wt society really believe that, if so why don't they ever depict women in heaven.

  its always men with beards which are an outward sign of rebellion on earth.

  (((morton)))

  Yeah, I was a 3 pk aday smoker towards the end of 14 yrs of smoking. I went cold turkey. I was facing health issues. Like having tubes up the roof of my mouth to drain sinuses. One of the ER docs explain the process. No way I was going to be put through hell.

  Reality smoking is one of the grueling addictions to get off. I knew I could'nt do this alone. I asked for support from my job, friends, family and support groups. To keep myself accountable.

  I also used a 12 step smoking group. the program was set up differently than the AA structure.

  What blew me over once I got beyond the denial. I used smokes to not feel my feelings. I am smoke free now for 6 yrs. I have my moments every now and then. It stems to not want to feel whats going on. And it passes.

  So I support you in whatever way you choose to take care of yourself. It's ok if you want to rant and rave by PMing me.

  RABBIT-PROOF FENCE - Go & see it!!

  by singsongboi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the 'rabbit proof fence' is an australian movie that tells the story of some aboriginal children who escape from a camp established by evil white australians with the mentality of the biblical joshua.. it's just been released in the us.. if you want to understand australia and australians you should see this movie.

  it tells a story that should deeply shame all modern australians, but sadly, many, maybe a majority, are not ashamed!!!!.

  it was made by phillip noyce, who has also directed good movies like, patriot games, the bone collector, clear & present danger, the saint.. noyce & his male partner live in a funky old house at palm beach nsw, and their home & lifestyle was recently featured on national tv in an australian show called "burke's backyard.. hope this link to a site for the film works..... .
