Yeah, yeah I've been here for a whole year too Eman and Stacy, don't rub it in. I need to not be here so much.
Mucho congrats JH! I think you've made many more interesting posts than I have.

i haven't posted for a few weeks as i have been back at work busy beavering away, however as it is my day off i thought i would see if anyone else has the same trouble that i have, and also if there is anything they have found useful.. i have always had trouble eating properly and sleeping ever since my early teen years, but over the past couple of years or so (even though i know i don't believe the watchtower teachings anymore) i have at least 3 or 4 times a week, the most vivid awful nightmares about armaggeddon, and the different ways that jehovah is going to destroy me because of my wickedness.
i wake up in tears and shaking with fear, and then i am not able to get back to sleep, i just lie awake until the morning not daring to close my eyes.. i can't believe that as a grown woman, the watchtower teachings keep coming back to haunt me.. lainey.
ps can i also thank all the posters for the kind personal messages that i have received since i came here
((((Lainey))))
I haven't had a nightmare like that in years but, I used to. I still sleep very sporadically at best. Mild insomnia may be a hang over from my life as a dub. I have very little good advice but, listen to upbeat, happy music before you go to sleep. That's helped me a bit.
Take care of yourself!

Woohoo! I got the day off of work!
....oh yeah, I'm unemployed. Happy Armistace Day to everyone, especially if you are currently serving!

PS Poppies are gorgeous!
we've been home for 5 days now.
we've met some wonderful people too.
hl and i loved america and the americans.. i thought i'd just post a few observations about how we as brits saw your country.
We normally put syrup on it, although the Scots prefer just salt.Pardon me?
Everything is better covered in Syrup!
Grits are wonderful. Have them with butter and cayenne pepper! Nummy! C'mon Stacy!
Roundabouts look very scary! No thank you. Although, I am an excellent driver I think I could live out my life without those. Happily!
~Aztec
Whoa! You signed up one day before me JH! What a strange year it's been eh?
<---happy happy for me too...rofl!
~Aztec
PS Yay JH!

i'm listening .
I don't think I've made much of an impression on anyone who hasn't gotten to know me on a more personal level. To those who have gotten to know me I think I've made a positive impact, I hope anyway. To others I may have made a negative impact. I don't know for sure. My intentions were very rarely bad, mostly just reactionary. What can I do about it now? Not much.
Big hugs to all of you! Whether you like me or not, I'm trying (really hard) to love y'all back.

i have been away for a couple of weeks, distracted by legal, work and health issues.
it all came down at a time when i am trying to get some things done regarding the jw child abuse issues.. added to my heart disease is disbetes ... cool ... in addition to not having fats, cholestrol, caffiene, cigarettes and sodium ... now i have to cut out carbs, sugar, coke, and take more medicine.
my diet is reduced to a thin piece of clear fibre paper every other night, forty pills, and purified water.
I'm glad you are back Amazing and glad you are here! Take good care of yourself (you are invaluable) and eat your fiber paper! Pizza is bad for you anyway!
Be good!

...do not make for a good dinner.
what are some good things that a single guy can make for dinner besides spaghetti or peanut butter sandwiches or something stupid like that?
jwd ladies?????
Staples that you should try to always keep on hand: Chicken breast, ground turkey (much healthier than ground beef), pork chops, fresh tomatoes, limes, garlic, onions, mushrooms, peppers, canned tomatoes (or tomato sauce), canned chili beans, chicken broth (or veggie broth), cream of mushroom soup (you can get this in both regular and low fat), rice, pasta, tortillas (corn and flour), cheese of any kind that you like, salt, coarse ground black pepper, chili powder, sage (essential for good pork chops), cilantro (fresh is better than dried but they both work), cumin (essential for a good chili), butter (not margarine), olive or grapeseed oil.
The above is a list of things I try to keep on hand. You can make so many differant things with those ingrediants. Fajitas, stir fry, salsa, spanish rice, lasagne, soup, chili, enchiladas, kick butt pork chops. If you need any recipes let me know and I can pm you some. I'm actually a pretty good cook (one of my very few talents). I've been cooking since I was about 13 for my entire family when my mom had to work late. One of those oldest child things I suppose...LOL! I'm here to help ya Dan.
