  well i've spent a couple hours today getting my cameras ready.

  which means cleaning them like a dentist with solutions, swabs, picks, fiberglass brushes, prayer *lol*, etc..they are going to be entered into the collectors competition at the state fair of texas in october.

  i have three cameras, the max entry, all going back before the 1930's.

  Since JWs Never Helped Anyone But Themselves, What Do You Do 4 People?

  we, as witnesses were taught to believe that our giving the "truth" to people was the most important gift we could give!

  forget about giving money to charities or helping any other group out----we needed to give them the "real life".

  do you find yourself giving back to the community or to others now that you're out?

  it was getting close to noon and elese decided to give her mother a call to let her know she was ready to be picked up.

  now i pose the question of 'can u make friends over the internet'?....

  how is it possible to define the relationship of 2 or more people over the internet?

  how do u really know who the other person is that you are supposedly making a friendship with?

  I have made some awesome friends on the net(I started to name them all but gosh I have met a lot of people) and I have been hoodwinked by a few that "were not as they appreared" Can you say DYSFUNCTIONAL LOL

  What I do say is this is an awesome way to connect but it has to be taken into a real life arena at some point. I have talked to many that I may never get to meet on the phone. The thing is I am who I am and if they aren't well that's just too bad.I also am more willing to trust people that others have met..there are some that seem NEVER to connect with anyone and that does make you wonder.
