do you shop at wally world?
i can spend over $100.00 on little items, man shopping at wally world is the devil on my checkbook.
I can't blame people for shopping there because of the prices but personally I totally boycott them or anyone who resembles a sweat shop outfit such as wal mart.
I used to go there a few years back...the thing that irked me was the poor retire at the front having to say.."welcome at wal mart"...a thousand times in a day...WTF..it's not like if I'm shopping at Macy's.
to the people of Jonquiere, Quebec.

i haven't been to a meeting for 3 or 4 years now.
(it's been so long i can't really remember).
but lately i've considered going back.
I've thought about it since recently something made me want to rub their noses in some of their stupidity.
One that I really would like to do is: When an elder is giving a part, especially in the service meeting. and it's obvious that he barely skimmed the material before his part (they all do it anyway), just say out loud, something like "Hey brother, couldn't you get ready for your part, you're boring everyone"...
i just really need to vent here.........i'm just so f**king tired of never having any extra money!!
all's i do is work to pay god damn bills......i just checked the balance on my chequing acct.
and i've got just under $900.00 to last me three weeks.
Good advice on ways to reduce insurance premiums. Shopping multiple quotes is certainly one the best ways to find the cheapest deal, and it's oftentimes less than your previous policy. Change is good in this case.
LOL @ AllAlongTheWatchtower. I know what you mean. One time I had to drive thirty miles on a busted water pump. Quite a few hills around here, so I would go up a hill (the car's temp gage would get in the red) I'd turn off the ignition and glide down the hill so by the time I got to the nest hill it had cooled down enough, restart and up the hill, everytime cooling a little less...lol...talk about stress. But I made it.
But yeah, older cars are cheap, and so far I've always been lucky. I've owned two cars which I bought new, and since I really don't care about vehicles and as long as one takes me from point A to point B I'm all set, I don't need the added expenses. Besides you don't worry so much about an old car...who cares if it has a little scratch.

Mary, well...man do I feel for ya...feel for all actually...cause we all have to pay. The biggest scams are protected by law, are law, imagine that. And to top it off, you can't fight them, can't boycott them, if you do, it will cost you more. Actually, boycotting high insurance premiums will probably get you jail time for not supporting their scams.
Like Jim Carrey says in Liar, Liar....you piss and moan, then bend over and take it up the tailpipe.
But you know what, exploitation has limits, and I think it's reaching a critical level, since you're not the only one feeling it, this is getting common. The pool of people at the bottom being sucked dry is getting larger everyday, people pushed into depression cause they can't make ends meet. Some are bound to get desperate, and since fighting these issues in court is useless, desperate people do desperate things.
Collapse is coming either through uprisings or economic meltdown. One or both. When? Can't tell you. My suggestion to you is this. First, learn to ride it out without getting too depressed. Just make sure you build yourself a backup supply of food, enough to see you through the initial blow, six months or so. When this thing screeches to a halt, you don't want to be the kind of person who was shopping for food on a daily basis. Local grocery stores will be empty in a few days. Besides you don't want to be among the fighting for the last can of beans.
Don't panic, you have time. Although I'm not totally prepared, I work on it gradually, and I'm starting to have a little stash. I've included a few bottles of multi vitamins, since most foods available to you then will be starches you will need them to insure you receive a balanced diet, and not suffer from malnutrition. Some water also especially if you live with city supplied water.
I know this sounds extremely pessimistic but when I look around I really don't see any other outcome, so I don't pay attention to those who say our economy is strong, I just get ready.
Since you're at the bottom having a hard time it won't appear that bad for you. You're already living hardships and dealing with stress. However, I just can't wait to see the rich scrounging for food in the dumpsters, that will certainly make my day.

edited to add: In those days I might share my stash with a poor person but definitely not someone who used to own an SUV.
i normally don't wake up this early in the morning just to watch the space shuttle fly by, but this was a speciall occasion.
this was the last time the shuttle will be visible in this area before it lands.
there is also the fact that the shuttle fleet is being grounded again -- maybe forever.
Cool...
It might be the last one in it's present form but I'm sure they'll revamp the whole thing. I would've gotten up too to watch that.
i spent many many years peforming on the cello before becoming a witness at 18 and being encouraged to quit all my symphony associations etc which i obediently did.
i was a soloist once with a community symphony and it was a wonderful experience!
i have a recording of the concerto i performed.
sorry, double post

Yeah music...sigh....It's probably the only thing I could do in this world 24 / 7 without ever getting bored with. Since it doesn't allow for much of a living, I always put it aside. I've got drawers full of little tidbits of original stuff I've put together.
Of course, in the late 70's, music was taboo in the witnesses. However I have done quite a bit of recording back then with only a 2 track reel to reel. Guitar, bass, and some piano. It was fun, gave me an outlet from the insane and boring world of the witnesses. I used to record sort of waltzes for witnesses that would get married and used as the first dance of the reception. I always got good reviews from them......
Oh well, back to my boring job...LOL
the watchtower says that jesus came to inspect all the churches in 1918/19 and then chose the bible students to be his chosen ones.. what i want to know is, where does the bible say that jesus was going to do any inspection at all?
let alone a special inspection in the year 1918!.
this "inspection", upon which the watchtower obtains all of its authority, sounds like something added to the bible!
You have ta read between the lines.
the man found a suitcase with $200,000 reais inside, the equivalent to about $80,000 dolars and returned it to the owner the next day.
the awake!
editors must be furious: the man was not a jw.
IOU's...LOL...I have to remember that if I ever find one. Dumb and dumber...sure I can play the part
yesterday there was a post that made me think.
i have a question for you.
i think creationist are ruled by emotion and not by provable facts.
skyman and seattle,
Can't get too technical here, actually my earlier post is about as technical as I can get in the evolution dept...LOL.. sorry.
Just wanted to add that what I meant when I said
We as humans adapt everyday to changes in our world, so yes evolution does exist
included the assumption which you wrote
Biological adaption means that the physical organism actually changes (across generational lines - not within an individual
We are in constant movement or evolution. Individually, when we live things our genetic composition is altered in the process and can be passed on to future generations. It might not be perceivable, but I think it happens. This probably affects character traits more than anything, but it's still in the realm of evolution.
I do agree with your clarifications, and yes nature sometimes has a twisted mind, the reason why I never take a man's word as gospel, especially men who claim to speak for god.
