The Watchtower and Conditional Morality
by Stephanus ini was thinking about the conditional nature of "love" in the 'tower, when i realised that "conditionality" is pretty well the nature of the beast.
hence "conditional morality".
for example, the rules on lying: that witholding the truth from undeserving ones is not wrong.. what other examples are there?.

Small Business Fads
by Stephanus injust before the turn of the millennium, it was mobile/cell phone kiosks popping up everywhere in shopping centres/malls.
in the nineties, i remember travel agencies appearing everywhere.
a few years ago, starbucks and its clones were emerging all over the place.. what other small business types do you remember getting popular, and what ones are you noticing now?.

Culinary Fads
by Stephanus inremember back in the 80s when olive oil was all the rage?
you had to cook or douse everything with it.
then the tv chefs started to notice its shortcomings - that extra virgin wasn't very good for frying (but great for dressings) or for use in mayonnaise.. remember when you could only cook with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated oils, otherwise you'd drop dead?

If Money Were No Object, What Hobby(s) Would You Pursue?
by Stephanus ini'd probably have a pretty well stocked backyard machine shop, complete with lathe(s), milling machine, welding gear, etc.
i'm a fitter and turner by trade, so it kind of makes sense...

Post Your Strange/Interesting Animal Anecdotes
by Stephanus ina mate of mine used to live in penshurst, and i had to pass the corner pet shop to get to his place.
more often than not, a small black and white cat was sitting just out of the doorway in front of the shop.
he was sitting patiently, with that dreamy, half-asleep expression cats sometimes get, looking up at the cages full of birds fluttering around!.
