  i called the police and they brought the fire department and police to retrieve the post office package.

  i found out that in the last month at least 2 other businesses got this type of package.

  the white powder was in a plastic that was placed inside a pack of orbit gum.. the contents were taken and were then brought to the town postmaster.. wish me luck!.

  In these post 9/11 days, it is hard to determine whether these are harmless pranks or legitimate threats. I would think that with all of the Homeland Security monies out there, that a tleast these incidents would be reported so that there is documentation if these are legitamate threats. Am glad that you are okay. There are alot of kooks out there, just sayin.

  I have heard of it, a co-worker has it and I have a related illness. There is no cure, just limited treatment. I don't wish bad or no healthcare on anyone.

  in your arm by judge's order.

  (a judge will be there at the checkpoint) and of course, if you are legally drunk, you'll be arrested on the spot.. so this weekend in tampa, they'll be sticking needles in your arms if you refuse their demands.

  they say they'll be heavily advertising the area that they'll be at over the holiday..

  I think that the legal principle for enforcing impaired driving laws is called "implied consent".

  i've recently finished the book, "iconoclast - a neuroscientist reveals how to think differently" by gregory berns.

  he sure makes a person feel better for being a rebel.

  the book moves quickly and is an entertaining journey through the mind an how it works.

  iconoclast. Feels like something I have been my whole life. The mandatory training at my job is always trying to categorize me and put me

  into a certain mold. It didn't work at the Kingdom Hall either. There is alway room for the voice of indepedent thought.

  Did You Aspire To Be An Elder Or Did You Want A Relative or Friend To Be One?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you were a male growing up in the congregation, it was expected that you would "reach out" for a position in the hall.

  some of us did just that and others didn't want any "privileges"!.

  i knew some people, especially "sisters", that really wanted their relative or good friend to be appointed so they might "change things".

  I wanted to be in charge. Being godlike in the congregation was an enticing thought. I could control people's lives. Then, I found out how it really works.

  Do you consider yourself to be quiet or outgoing?

  by mrsjones5 in

  2. friends

  something someone said on one of the popularity topics got me to wondering who on the board is quiet and who are the outgoing ones in real life.

  i'm a quiet person in real life, takes me a while to warm up to folks that i just meet, but if i really like a person my rarely used gift of gab comes out.. how about ya'll?.
