  So what do us crazy Canucks do when it is too cold outside -32 degress celcius. -25 F. U.S. language.

  We do indoor activities like making perogies. Today we have peeled 20 pounds of potatoes, shredded six pounds of cheddar cheese, and have made the dough out of 24 cups of flour, 6 containers of sour cream, etc.

  Geez what the hell are we thinking we'll be pinching (and of course drinking alcoholic beverages to get through this) into the wee hours of the morning, but we'll have dozens and dozens of them. Naturally we're not doing this alone, another couple we've made friends with since we've left the borg are joining us in this perogy making spree.

  My husband wants to go out and buy a Honky Bills perogy maker. I told him no way we'll do it the old fashioned way, the way my babas (grandmothers) would do it.

  (((((Tatiana)))))) I'm so sorry that what you thought to be a good thing turned out to backfire on you. I can tell you that I appreciated your valentine day card to me, I opened it up this morning at work, and I was quite surprised. You really made me feel welcome that I joined the board, you made me feel like a friend. It is too bad some people take your actions the wrong way.

  I Hope you got my e-card. Have a great day, and yes I will get Kissed

  CJ

  P.S. I thought I'd add to this. Just blame this one on elsewhere, maybe he has bigger shoulders to handle the blame because you have an awfully big heart. My god, to send everyone an e-card what a big job.

  Sorry to hear of your pain Sirona. Shera asked whethey you might have TMJ problems (Temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction). This is something that I have had for years. And the headaches along with the jaw pain, which radiates into my shoulders is unbearable sometime. But I do have a bite splint that alleviates the pressure on the jaw joints. I may be way of base as to your pain, but my doctor also at one time prescribed a mild sleep prescription to relax me while I sleep so I wouldn't clamp down on my teeth, as that effects your jaw joints.

  I hope you feel better soon.

  well valentine's day is almost here...but the most romantic thing my husband ever did for me came a few days earlier - on my birthday.. this is the very first birthday i am openly celebrating since leaving so he took me to my favorite restaurant sat.

  Hmmmm. there are so many to mention. But here are a couple.

  This goes way back when xjw_b12 and I were dating, after a day at work I went out to my car to drive home. I found a note on my steering wheel to look in the glove compartment. In there was a love note and my favourite perfume from him.

  And there was one time we had gone to the waterfront in the evening to watch the freight ships in the harbour. (I know, freight ships, how beautiful are they, but in the water at night time with their lights on, is a beautiful sight, plus we have a beautiful backdrop, our Sleeping Giant peninsula across the lake) .Anyway back to the story ----- He pulled out a bottle of wine along with plastic wine glasses. That was so romantic. Needless to say we have done this many times since that, we have even done it in the recent years to reminisce the good times.

  i've sent my scans of the march kingdom ministry to stephanus who hopefully will get them onto his website soon.. in the meantime i couldn't resist commenting on page 3 paragraph 5:.

  i couldn't give a toss about the old farts in brooklyn but i hated hurting my believing wife when i left the religion.

  they seem intent on perpetuating that pain for her with comments like these.

  When I stick out my tongue...

  well, i can't think of anything else left to do on the path of apostates.

  the original piercing was 10 millimeters, and since that was a bit long now that my tongue has healed, today i went for a new one, and a new stud.

  my jw mum went with me, and she even picked out the one i have now, a red-white-blue [just like our flag] ball that glows in the dark.

  Yikes. is all I can say.

  Be careful that you don't chip a tooth on that precious little ball. My daughter has one too, and she ended up chowing down on something and ended up chipping a tooth.

  Hi Craig

  ...It hurts not having a family as fundamentally it take away your history all together. But now I have to make a decision about my son and daughter..do i treat my folks and virtually cut them off from my kids like they cut me off - or do i show that since leaving the dubs I have become a better person than they will ever be and let my kids be exposed to their crap...It was easy when they were small infants, but now my son knows his other gran dad and wants to know about my daddy.

  It does hurt when your family is torn like apart like that. My parents are still in the borg and up until last year February 2002 my parents were still seeing my kids. I finally had to cut the ties between my parents and my kids. I have a 13 year old daughter and 11 year old son. My daughter had a real close relationship with my mom, so she would go to my parents for sleepovers on the weekends. My son was rarely included on these sleepovers because he never felt welcomed in their house. Because of their dub minds they just never formed a relationship with my son, (I think he reminded them too much of my hubby, who they blame for me setting myself free of the borg). Anyway my daughter would come home showered with gifts, and candy, and nothing would be brought home to my son. Naturally there would be hard feelings between the siblings, and I always found that my daughter would come home with attitude. It would take days to get her back to being herself. So it finally came to a head one day last year (my mom stepped over the line with my daughter) I finally saw my mom for who she was a "brainwashed dub" and I got on the phone with my mom, laid it on the line, told her that if she couldn't accept our life as we are living it now, too bad. I told her that I didn't trust her as far as I could throw her, blah, blah blah. I told her that if she and my dad ever wanted to see me and kids again she knew my phone number. Well I haven't heard from her since.

  The sad thing is, is that my parents are missing the best years with their grandkids. My dad has a woodworking shop in his garage. He does beautiful work, work that he could pass down to his grandson, but the dub mentality does not allow him to do this. I feel sorry for them. I've moved on, created a normal life for my family, while they are stuck.

  Craig, For me, I stay sane, with my parents not in my life right now. There's enough problems to deal with, without have to deal with dub parents. I hope I've been helpful
