here, in the us, we go to the "bathroom".
am i taking a bath?
we either poop or pee.. when we go to canada, we go to the "washroom".
I guess it's just general politeness and manners, RubaDub.
Saying "I'm just going to spend a penny" is much nicer than saying "I've got turtle-neck - I'm just going to take a hot, steaming dump".
And "I just need to powder my nose" is so much nicer than "I've just hit the pad with my Devil's Waterfall - it's worse than the school prom scene from Carrie (1976) down here!"
saw the movie yesterday and, wow - it was good.. it's a follow-up to the shinning, an iconic movie, and it just has the same feel to it not least because some of it ends up set back at the same hotel and has the same kind of camera angles and scenes plus the haunting soundtrack.
it actually starts with the mom and the kid living after they survived the experience in the original movie.. it wasn't what i was expecting, i thought it was going to just be a cash-in, but it wasn't - not just more of the same, instead it actually built in the original and expanded on what 'the shinning' was.. if you like suspenseful movies but not just a gore-fest, i give it a thumbs up..
I'm aware that there are some good reviews for this movie.
Seeing as I love The Shining (1980), perhaps I should check this film out in due time ...
i haven’t posted in awhile.
my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.
Well done, Mr and Mrs Jack.
Best wishes

i don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?
', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.
y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.
And, of course, this song featuring The Queen of Soul gives me goosebumps.

Dayum, just listen to her voice @3mins 38 secs - f**k me, it sounds like a plane taking off! XD.

it's a guardian article, so it's well worth looking at a few of the below-the-line comments.

@Earnest - it would be profoundly undemocratic to allow the tiny populations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to override the rest of the UK.

this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.
somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.
the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.
Just look at this face ...
Who could speak against this guy?
i found out just last night that back in 2015 scientists discovered a piece of amber estimated to be over 15 million years old.
inside the amber was a flea, very similar to the size and kind that attack and eat our blood today.
whats even more astonishing is in the mouth they found bacteria that has the same make up as bubonic plague.
Animals as vegetarians - lol

Here's YouTube vid about Apu and an Indian-American comic who wanted him cancelled.
It's a commentary by a youtuber called 'jlongbone'.
Enjoy ...
the following is an extract from an article i wrote when i left the watchtower 25 years ago.
it may be helpful in reasoning with a jw about the anointed/great crowd distinction.. --------------------------------.
to divide people into those with a heavenly hope and those with an earthly one is not a biblical concept.
The ressurected Jesus need not defecate - but the pre-resurrected Jesus had to defecate, right?
Jesus was flesh and blood. Mary gave birth to him via her vagina, in the same way all other humans are born.
