i am employed with the federal government and we are a new branch so we are in the midst of setting up donations for charity to be donated through our paychecks.

anyway, i volunteered to be a coordinator for the cfc (combined federal campaign) in which i was encouraging people to give some out of their paycheck to a charity of their choice..i have to admit i had flashbacks of being in field service while doing this..lol

i will say that i asked a few jw's that worked there and they didn't give *knows where their money goes.

RAINN(Rape Abuse and Incest National Network) is definitely my charity of choice.

It helps so many women each year by getting them the help they need to deal with the issues, and after effects of rape and abuse.

Have YOU Ever Met Up With Anyone Famous

by RAYZORBLADE in

have any of you on this forum, ever met up with anyone considered famous?

i've met a great deal of people over the years.

one of my most memorable: dennis leary, drinking a few pints with him as he sang "margaritaville" from the jukebox.

I met Kenny Chesney, and the group The Wilkinsons, at a restaurant I used to hostess at. The Wilkinsons were extremely nice, and put myself and my bosses daughter on the VIP list for their concert that night. Backstage passes and everything.

Most, importantly, however, I met Tori Amos in December. I got to say "thank you" to the person who's music and words and activism helped save my life, and has made such a difference in so many more.

Dead Like Me

by Stacy Smith in

i am so hooked on the tv show dead like me that i watch each episode a couple of times.

i just love it.

i think it's a very intelligent quirkly show that never fails to surprise me, make me laugh and even make me feel a bit sad.

asortafairytale

I love this show! We have Showtime On-Demand, so I watch every episode at least twice! I was originally interested because the star, Ellen Muth, had also starred in the Lifetime movie "The Truth About Jane". It's so addicting! Who knew you could get so attached to Dolores Herbig, as in her big brown eyes?

And yes, Daisy Adair is cute, cute, cute!!!

The believer~~
I have to agree with you, Choirgirl is an amazing album, and "Iieee" is one of my favorite songs. But, when talking about amazing Tori songs, you can't forget "Icicle" from Under The Pink...

Icicle icicle
Where are you going
I have a hiding place
When spring marches in
Will you keep watch for me
I hear them calling
Gonna lay down
Gonna lay down

Greeting the monster in our easter dresses
Father says bow your head like the good book says
Well I think the good book is missing some pages
Gonna lay down
Gonna lay down

And when my hand touches myself
I can finally rest my head
And when they say take of his body
I think I'll take from mine instead

Getting off
Getting off
While they're all downstairs
Singing prayers
Sing away
He's in my pumpkin p. j. 's
Lay your book on my chest
Feel the word
Feel the word
Feel the word
The word feel it

I could have
I should have
I could have flown
You know I could have
I should have
I didn't go

Icicle Icicle
Where are you going
I have a hiding palce when spring marches in
WIll you keep watch for me I hear them calling
Gonna lay down
Gonna lay down

Tori Amos, hands down. Her music is complex and ethereal, and it gets you at the core. I've seen her in concert twice, and met her once. Her stage presence, as sell as her personal presence is amazing.

I never really listened to Bjork very much; my girlfriend really likes her, though. Cher kind of scares me. Really, she does.

.

how many have you read?

- you deviants you..

To all the people who have read the book "The Color Purple", I highly recommend reading the book "Possessing the Secret of Joy", also by Alice Walker. It centers around Tashi(Olivia's best friend), and takes on the subject of female circumcision. Incredible book.
