ok, my husband is in bed, there is just enough light to mow the lawn.
the gas tank has just been refilled, and there is fresh oil.damn it, i have primed it as required, and have pulled and pulled and pulled the stupid string.. why cant the damn thing start with out a guy???
my husband is now asleep and the damn lawn is 5 inches tall.. god help me!!!!!!!!!.
Why, why can't a girl start the lawn Mower?
That's what husbands are for! I have'nt had to start the lawn mower in 11 years.
1) don't want to deal with it at meetings is what i think would be on the top of the list.they see what others have to go through.. 2) i know a married couple jws, that are avoiding having kids, and i've heard of reasons from them like.... "don't want to raise them up in this system".
"time is too short".
"i'll wait until the next system of things".
Lots of people intentionally avoid having kids... JW or not. My husband and I don't have kids. Our reason is... we just don't want any. We have no desire to be parents.
what are some of your forum pet peeves?.
paragraphs - please use them.
i'm sure you have something to say but if it makes my eyes bleed i pass.. capitals - i don't know about you but i think this just looks juvenile but no worse than this.
I don't like long, rambling posts.
I couldn't even finish reading WTWizards comments.
this is for all those parents of teens out there..... do you really want your child on myspace?.
my 12 (almost 13) yr old opened her own acct without my permission....knowing full well i don't want her on it!!!.
she gets to do a lot but she's starting to try to be a lot more independent from me and when it comes to the web, i am very careful.. anyone dealt with this one?.
I detest myspace.
I told everyone in the department I manage at work that if I catch them using 'myspace' during work hours, they're gonna be fired.

just wanted to share my story.... i was raised a jw all my life, my mother and father married and divorced twice, my mother was disfellowshipped when i was 6 and never came back, choosing a career, and went through various men.
i was raised by my very loving and wonderful father, easily father of the century in my opinion.
all my life i was a great kid, example in the hall, great grades, got a full college scholarship, etc.

washing, brushing your teeth, or using deodorant?
.
assume you could not explain your reasons to anyone, and that there would be no long-term effect on your career..
No. I already have 20k. If it was more like 20 million dollars then I probably would.
