  IKEA Bekant motorised standing desk

  by Simon in

  if you're anything like me and have a desk job you will sit for long periods of the day and it's very unhealthy according to lots of studies.. one thing you can do to change that is to stand - you burn more calories as well as reducing health risks.

  yes, it hurts (like hell) at first and you really need a chef's mat to stand on and ideally some hard foam 'things' you can put one foot on to allow you to change your position.

  you can also get 'standing stools' like the mogo to give a bit of a half-way house:.

  Our dog doesn't shed but we have two white cats that are able to disperse hair throughout the house.

  Make sure the table will take the weight of one of those cats of yours. LOL.

  I remember CO Ken Richmond and his wife in London in North Kensington area. Big guy, broad shoulders.

  He used to drive a Heinkel Micro Car. Tight squeeze for him and his wife.

  Another reason.

  They could be in the basement because JW--Org has sold off all the Kingdom Halls.

  have you all read this weeks study article?.

  oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.

  (notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!

  complete and finished.. .

  no dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the difference between "complete" and "finished.

  " however, during a recent linguistic conference, held in london , england , and attended by some of the best linguists in the world.

  No dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the difference between "complete" and "finished."  However, during a recent linguistic conference, held in London , England , and attended by some of the best linguists in the world. Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was the presenter when he was asked to make that very distinction.  The question put to him by a colleague in the erudite audience was this: “Some say there is no difference between ‘complete’ and ‘finished.’  Please explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand.”

  
  

  Mr. Balgobin’s response:

   “When you marry the right woman, you are ‘complete.’  If you marry the wrong woman, you are ‘finished.’  And, if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are ‘completely finished.”

  the time has nearly come to switch over to the new forum software.

  of course it's not completely finished yet (and never will be) but i think it's good enough to go live with and probably already better than the current one.

  i'll give you a quick overview of what to expect and post more detail about the changeover process later.. cloud platform.

  does anyone else recall the big chart that hung at the front of every kingdom hall?.

  it would be about 5 feet x 4 feet.

  on the side of the chart, vertically listed, were the months of the year.

  Yes Tim Hooper

  It was a rented hall when we attended it many years ago when I was young.

  I remember Len Hobbs.

  It was the old market hall in the centre of the market.

  In the winter to heat the hall there was a open coal fire and a brother used to sit near the fire feeding the fire with old 78rpm records of Judge Rutherford recordings. There was a stack of them in a back room.

  Also in the warm summer the place stank from the fruit and veg market below.

  OH Happy Days
