Thunder and I have an older Compaq model that is what I use for school and he wrote his book on. Well it crashed the other night and they no longer sell the restore disk OH YEA so now he has to reload everything and go online to load the mouse driver etc.

We have a Dell in the bedroom and an ancient IBM I bought him on I think our thirteenth anniversary, it was top of the line LOL Now it looks like a dinasaur LOL

january 26 is a particularly hard day for me.

two of my children were born on this day, five years apart.

i can't wish either one of them a happy birthday.

Wind:

Why not make it a good day? Try to look at their baby books photo's and think about the past with them not the future without them.

As far as them being mad, can you talk to them and apologize and tell them I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought I was doing what God wanted I was WRONG but now I know. I am only human, I was growing up just as you are etc.

That is what I did I cried and told them how sorry I was that they lived through hell because we thougth we had the Truth, neither of my kids are now angry

If not Wind they need to look in their own hearts don't they

((((((Wind)))))please don't cry

WHAT DID YOU MISS OUT ON WHEN IN THE BORG

by nightwarrior in

we as a family allways wanted a family pet as in (dog ) but as the ministry loomed every weekend ,as well as the meetings we decided that it would be to much trouble ,subconciously the influence came from other members in the congregation ,which in turn came from the elders in turn from the bethel ,allways sprouting on about the ministry first ,you never had time for anything elsemow ,yes a dog would be to much trouble,but now,for the past two /half years my younger children are enjoying the companionship of an animal in the house,as well as 2 cats which we have had for past eight years,.

did you find time for animals.. what did you miss out on ,allso for past 14 years we have had different caravans and motor homes ,.

what did you miss out on when in the borg ,and how did it affect you.

I missed learning the ability of making friends since I didn't have it growing up I could have at least learned it in my early 20's but I was treated so bad I just never learned and now I'm too jaded to try to pursue friends.

I missed of course going to college earlier but my real pet peeve is I would have had more children but the dub's were so intent on the end coming and making us feel foolish for wanting more, I couldn't make Thunder understand they didn't have any say in it.

Greeting Cards - Seasons Greetings

by akenglund in

i know that public organizations such as businesses should be respectful of religions and most don't send out cards stating "merry christmas".

how about "season's greetings"?

if you interpret it as the winter season (skating, snowmen, etc..) should that be considered offensive.

SheilaM

I prefer HAPPY CHRISTMAS myself

How far back can you go?

.

we all remember certain things and events when we were young, but do you remember certain events in your life when you were only 3 or 4 years old?

how far back can your memory go?.

SheilaM

I remember being in Nob Noster Missouri my Dad worked for Boeing I have real vivid memories of crying and saying "Daddy please don't go to Sam's Place" this was a Buck Owens song back in 66 or so I was around 2, I remember the brick house and my Mom killing a huge black snake. I remember the Avon lady coming to the house to gossip.

I remember playing on my swing set and I wrote a poem about how I would run down the steps and next door to Mrs. Millers when Mom would threaten to beat me. Mrs. Miller would shoo me under this large oak table with a beautiful lace table cloth then hand me a crystal dish full of marshmellows I would sit and munch, then she would go sit on her porch swing and wait, when my Mom would get there all pissed off she would say "Now Hazel you don't wanna beat that baby". She saved my ass many a time I thought she was my Granny cause my granny was a Mrs. Miller too.

I also remember walking in on my oldest sister wrapping a "giraffe" for me for christmas she was around 15 and cried and cried cause I saw my present, I told her that I would forget and be suprised on Christmas I promise. I still have him!!!

What were you like in high school?

by Aztec in

jw
friends

i'm sick of talking about george bush and iraq and war so.... what were you like in high school?.

i was an orchestra geek.

i played violin and took all the math classes i could.

SheilaM

Me I was the "girl with the hair" I had waist length auburn hair and that was how everyone classified me I had no clique I was friendly to everyone that deserved it and ignored those snotty ass people that were stuck on themselves. I had an ear to ear smile and laughed all the time. But I got close to NO one, see it was all just smoke and mirrors, me really happy LOL. My Dad screwed around all the time and two of my siblings were irresponsilbe druggies and moved in when ever they could. My Mother did NOTHING but watch TV clean house and eat valium so I lived in my fantasy world. I had people call me all the time for advice, why I have no idea but the "in" crowd who never spoke to me would call and talk to me and you know I never told anyone their secrets to me that was a sacred thing no matter what bitches or jerks they were on my phone they had sanctuary LOL

I felt I wasn't popular but really I shutdown if anyone tried to get close, it was safer that way. I never spent the night anywhere, I never partied I never had girlfriends over. That was my life

I was a skating queen though and I went whenver I could that was my entertainment and skating backwards jamming to the 70's music was the most liberating thing I had. And yes even at 39 I can still skate like I did at 14 LOL

PS I forgot to add that I weighed about 98 pounds all through school no one ever told me I was wayyyyyy too skinny and I forgot to add before everyone said I was the best dressed in my whole school I had it going on quite the clothes and shoes horse. Since my parents never let me do anything my Mom compensated by buying me clothes out the butt. LOL

Edited cause I can't spell today LOL
