  Once I was going door to door and I approached a house where the poarch was well shielded from view by high bushes. Once I got there I found a woman who was nude sunbathing and had fallen asleep. Being the zealous pioneer that I was, I woke her up and offered her the magazines. She took them, and we talked for a while, but I couldn't start a bible study with her, since she was just visiting from England, and would be leaving soon. Too bad. The brother that was with me later counselled me, saying I shouldn't have woken her up, but, naturally, I didn't agree.

  Another time I was with the same bro, going from door to door, and a naked woman answered the door, and took the magazines from me. I tried to keep the conversation going as long as possible, and the woman, who was quite a hottie, didn't seem to mind. But once again, the bro started to make excuses saying we had to go. Hmmmm, I should have just let him go by himself.

  i've recently switched from dsl to cable internet access.

  monday evening i went to sign on to yahoo messenger and got the message that my account had been locked "for security reasons".. yesterday i finally found a phone number and called yahoo about it.

  the guy verified all my info and told me that someone had tried to use my yahoo screenname and had entered an incorrect password 10 times in a row, thus triggering the security lock on my yahoo id.

  I use software called WinWhatWhere that I purchased from the following site.

  http://www.trueactive.com/index.htm

  It records keystrokes and will email the keystroke database to you at regular intervals. The FBI used this software to sting some Russian hackers.

  There are also a number of cable/DSL routers that have limited firewall capabilities, but can provide some protection from hackers over the internet, and they're not too expensive, usually under $100.00

  Zonealarm, Norton Internet Security, or McAfee firewall are good too.

  If you're concerned about security on your own site, consider using Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro as your operating system, and configure security on it. You can also use it's event log to monitor unauthorized access attempts.

  How to get rid of snoring?

  any idea?

  my husband wakes me up about twice every night.

  what can we do besides using a pair of ear plugs, which makes me uncomfortable?

  By the way, I had a referral from my doctor to see a specialist to perform the sleep study, but I'm sure someone can get into a clinic without a referral. It may just take longer.

  The apnea, as I understand it, causes the person to stop breathing for a period of time, and once the oxygen level in the blood drops too much, the person starts gasping for breath. This causes a person to rarely, if ever, reach certain necessary stages of sleep. It's hard on the heart as well.

  One thing to remember is that if a person is diagnosed with a sleep disorder, and refuses treatment, his doctor can arrange for him to lose his drivers license, as he can be a real hazzard on the road. I used to have to pull over for a break every hour when driving so I wouldn't fall asleep. I don't have that problem anymore.

  One benefit of the sleep apnea was that I always had an excuse to sleep through meetings at the kingdom hall. The downside was the sore ribs from my wife's elbow.

  Having just met you in T.O. I can honestly say you have everything going for you. Beautiful, bubbly personality, you can take your pick of the men. But I agree with the concept of Rayzorblade approval!

  DAMN! Why do I have to be married??? It keeps me out of the running!

  Your husband may want to go in for a sleep study. I've had a problem with snoring for a long time, so I went for a study. They found I had sleep apnea, and that I stopped breathing 127 times throughout that night. That was due to the airways closing. I was prescribed a CPAP machine that provides me with continuous air pressure at 10 pounds psi. I have a small mask that fits over my nose that delivers it. It resembles a snorkel. Since using this, I don't snore at all, and my quality of sleep, and quality of life has improved tremendously. My overall disposition improved greatly as well. I'm not falling asleep at work or while driving anymore, and have more energy throughout the day. It takes a bit of getting used to, as it is uncomfortable initially, but now I wouldn't be without it.

  Prior to this, I tried laser surgery to reduce the size of my uvula. This was very painful, and didn't last long. As soon as I gained some weight I had the problem again.

  Alot of men resist using the CPAP because they think it's intrusive or not 'sexy', but I think going through life with poor quality of sleep with it's resulting grouchiness is even less sexy.

  WTS Addresses Child Abuse - er, kind of...

  by iiz2cool in

  my wife, who is intent on re-activating herself as a dub since i da'd myself, went to the convention this past weekend.

  she showed me this new publication entitled "learn from the great teacher", and placed great emphasis on these two pages i scanned and am posting.

  it makes a poor show of telling children what to do when confronted by a child abuser.

It makes a poor show of telling children what to do when confronted by a child abuser. While there are a few good tips, it's not nearly enough. They are advised to say that they will 'tell on them'(the abuser), but no mention is made of who they should go to, or what protection they will receive. And the illustration of the little girl warding off a sexual predator is ridiculous. It rarely, if ever, is that simple. In my opinion this is a cop out. Maybe they added this little blurb just so they can prove to the courts (during lawsuits), or adherents that they are addressing the issue. But in my opinion, it's far too little, far too late.

  yup, there's an aztec in my house: she's here.....drove all the way up from detroit yesterday.

  she sure is good with directions, and called me from the very place i knew i could find her.

  anyways, i won't say much, but she's alive and well....tired of course, but hung out where i work for awhile (the tavern/bar where i work), and then she went for something to eat, then walked around the streets of toronto.
