  A slick new gismo I just got!!! :D

  it's called the intelligent stick.... i'm sure that most of you have seen those little usb "stick" drives... they are small and plug into the usb port and allow you to store anywhere from 16mb to 1gb.

  i've never bought one because i did not like the idea of carrying around a stick with me everywhere i went.

  then i saw the intelligent stick.

  moose is the puppy, and ladybug is our older basset (teenager, really -- she's almost 2).

  moose gets into the funniest sleeping positions, as illustrated below:.

  i love how ladybug carefully curls herself into a tight ball and wraps her tail around her nose!

  Nina,

  Your new baby is adorable!

  I must say, I thought of you often after you lost your Dexter. I'm glad to see you've opened your heart again. Lucky Moose!

  Sad News...

  my mom had her valve replacement and triple by-pass surgery today.

  the operation lasted five hours, and they had just gotten her to her room at 8:00pm when she went into cardiac arrest.

  the doctor tried everything, even opening up her chest and massaging her heart.

  What little things used to excite you as a JW?

  by doodle-v in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would get excited when i was younger and would study the watchtower and see that this weeks study only had 19 paragraphs.

  (made the study seem shorter,lol).

  when a meeting would get canceled because of snow (which was rare) and i would get to stay home and watch a cheers or the cosby show.

  The best was when the visiting speaker for the Sunday public talk didn't show up. It would be 10:05 and you'd see the brothers scrambling trying to figure out what to do . . . flip the talk with the Watchtower Study and hope he shows up later - or get another elder to do an impromptu talk. Usually they would get another elder to fill in, but I remember once they didn't and we got to go home an hour early . . . woo hoo!!

  "Missed you at the Meeting"

  by Crooked Lumpy Vessel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many times did you hear that before you were baptized?

  i got a little tired of it when someone called me and said that.

  this was the first sign of the control thing.

  Great thread. Here's another angle . . . the bluffing "I've missed you" comment.

  When I was drifting, I would miss one or maybe two meetings a week, but would go, on average, at least once per week. There was another sister at the hall who would disappear for months at a time and then re-appear as Sister MegaSpiritual - trying to encourage all the lowly and down-trodden.

  So, every once in a while, she would be the one to give me the "I've missed you" remark. Finally, I realized, that she probably missed me, because she wasn't there either . . . so I called her bluff and, with my most genuine, concerned expression on my face, said, "Oh, that's right, you've been away for a little while now. Are you doing ok?". She was taken aback and didn't quite know how to respond. She said, "oh, yes. . . I'm ok". I responded with, "that's good. I hope to see you next week." and walked away with my head held quite high.

  • scan fran-kiss-co = san francisco
  • I'm free = I'm three
  • grill = girl
  • scum screem = sun screen (same as your neice Sally!)

  • wiff = with
