The Things You Forgive (vent/eulogy of sorts)
by hemp lover inyou forgive her for never not once setting foot in your house.. you forgive her for yelling at you almost every day, because if she hadnt yelled at you, if she had been one of those calm-voiced, even-tempered kind of moms, the kind who wasnt enraged by a child who bumped the vacuum into the furniture or one who didnt always scrub out the sink with zud after washing the dishes, then you wouldnt, years later, have been able to recognize the shock and pain in your own daughters eyes when you lose your temper and lash out stupidly, momentarily, always apologetically (after the fact), but never, it seems, for the last time (unfortunately) and without the memory of a childhood filled with longing for an inch of approval from the one person who refused to give it, then you might not have recognized that same desire and need for acknowledgement in your own child and you might not give it to her at every opportunity (as you do, as she deserves).. you forgive her for waiting five days to take you to the doctor when you broke your wrist, because those five days of pain, during which you were encouraged to just stop babying it, will lead to the first of only two apologies she will ever extend to you.
she just couldnt imagine how anyone could break a bone the way you described it happening.
you seek a small measure of revenge by waiting 20 years to tell her how you really broke it.. you forgive her for slapping you when you laughed at her during one of her screaming fits.

Afterbirth Blotched his Cardigan or the ABC Game
by hemp lover inso i was sitting on the front porch drinking my vodka and cranberry grape juice with no ice (nine ice trays in the freezer and, thanks to my daughter, all of them empty) and i remembered an assignment my high school composition teacher once gave to write a poem where the first letter of each successive word begins with the next letter of the alphabet.
i'm not feeling very poetic tonight, so howzabout a paragraph instead.... afterbirth blotched his cardigan.
the doctor emitted a furious growl.

JWs at My Door - and the Answer to a Prayer
by hemp lover inthis happened almost three years ago, but since i always enjoy reading about other people's jw encounters, i thought i'd finally share one of my own.. i lived in an apartment for four years following my disfellowshipping and no one had ever come to my door, not even so much as a shepherding visit.
(yeah, right.
) i had lurked on this board for a while, but was put off by the anger and negativity of some people and so i didn't stay long.

Where were you three years ago today?
by hemp lover ini was thinking last night that 9/11/01, for this generation, is somewhat akin to 11/22/63 (jfk's assassination) for previous generations.
i remember listening to the adults' stories when i was a child of where they were and what they were doing when jfk was assassinated.. so where were you on 9/11/01?
how has that day affected your life?.
