  a while back, in one of the businesses i have, i needed to hire a salesman.

  i was thinking of running an ad, and then thought to myself, i should give a friend of mine the job.

  i have known "john" for over ten years, and he needed to make money bad.

  First, have to disagree with your assumption that if successful at work will be successful at home. Too many people in my industry (software development) have proven extremely successful in their business ventures but failed miserably at the homefront. But,

  Was going to give you lots of advice, but you appear to have it under control, so I'll just wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Have a fun time with your new life and stick around, this is a great place to relieve the tensions of the day, the world and the past...

  When Is A Viking Not A Viking?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when he's a norseman, that's when.

  according to my dictionary, the norsemen came from norway, the vikings from denmark and abba hailed from sweden.

  although it is acceptable to use the word "viking" to describe a norseman now, this is not the original definition.

  Looked up the definition of cool on the web and feel I should now second our threadmaster's first picks!

  Definition of cool - 1 : moderately cold : lacking in warmth

  it's been great weather on viking planet.

  it's cold and raining.

  snow's melting, and everyone's doubling over while walking on ice; friction is king.

  Oh, oh, oh another Viking! At first I thought you were talking about Minnesota (USA), but soon realized how anal I am...but, being from the frozen tundra of the western hemisphere I can relate. Regretably, I have thawed out some so don't think I would be able to compete in the "Polar Bear" contest. Might just have to pack my bags, grab the Bohemian wife, and take a trip to the great state of Norway...

  I'm boiling the oil and digging a moat

  well, i knew it would happen sooner or later.

  one of the two witnesses who work at my office called me last night, delicately mentioned that she had "heard" i was celebrating birthdays and christmas and wanted to know what the hell was going on.

  or substance.

  But don't boil the alligators in oil...they get really, really mad when you do that! Now, maybe the migranes will lessen. On that subject, I used to have 4 or 5 a month but started taking magnesium daily. Significant reduction and when I do get one I pop an Imatrix - usually gone within 30 minutes. And, after giving more thought to the original subject, do place the 'gators in the oil. If the elders show up they will get what they deserve!

  JWs just knocked on my door....

  ok so i'm on the phone talking to my friend, when i hear a knock so light i wasn't even sure if it was a knock.... (the doorbell, lighted, works just fine).. i open the door.

  two attractive young ladies in their early 20s are standing there, don't even make eye contact.

  one reaches into her bookbag and pulls out the lasts watchtower and asnake magazines and proceeds to ramble incoherently for the next 30 seconds.

  Lisa, that was really beautiful... I'm printing it out now to study and share with the family so they can respond in such an eye-opening way. I'll probably share it with the neighbors too... can you imagine the confusion in a car group if they all had that same experience in one neighborhood???

  I want my sons to remember me like I remember my dad. As a man, he was strong and honest, as a father, he was tough on me (which, needless to say I needed) but gentle and kind when I needed him to be. He made me laugh even though I made him cry. He left me in death way too early but the lessons he taught me, made me a survivor. Yeah, I want to be remembered by my children like that...

  My dear wife in a....oops probably not what you meant. My hangup is bad drivers. The tailgators, people on their cell phone who have no clue what's going on around them. I remember, when I drove the Interstate daily, one guy who would be reading a book while driving down the road. Luckily in Midwest U.S.A, we have a ice and snow. The weather seems to have a unique separation power - kinda like removing the chaff from the wheat (Damn JW stuff still cloggin up the writing veins)

  But, my wife in a *******, that really drives me crazy. Just ask her!

  Lottery Tickets & Gambling

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were active, did you buy any lottery tickets?

  i know a xjw who told me that he never stopped buying lottery tickets, even when he was active.

  he always asked somebody else to go get them for him, so that he wouldn't be seen buying them.

  Always made sure I got into the "retirement fund" at work when Powerball got over $100 million. Didn't want to be the only one left at work and have to miss meetings because my job now required me to do the work of 6 managers. I would probably have to agree its a waste of money, except for the guy that wins at it. A dollar here, and dollar there...we all have vices as long as it doesn't become a problem. I say, "Have fun 'cause if you don't play you are sure not to win!"

  Oh and the powerball in U.S., is at $215 million. Probably time to invest in the "retirement fund" again. Have fun, but play responsibly!
