  What do you think happens when you die?

  we were taught you are just unconscience in a grave "hell".

  no burning fires or wonderful heaven where all our dreams come true.

  i never feel like i am going to heaven.

  Since all is speculation, I will in invest no energy in speculating about the unforeseen. Death is inevitible, and so life should not be squandered in any honor of death.

  through the smoky haze

  and memories, sometimes memories, drifting through the smoky haze and beer stained cloths like a childhood voice of a long dead friend.

  and in the background, the beer soaked chin of a pitted voice sounds like a neighborhood dog pensively barking through the hazy mist at the full chilled moon.

  a quick deep drag on a stogie pulls the foggy mist through the whiskey vapors to the pit of my stomach and intestines and heart, to the depths of lungs, and the jukebox beeps like an iv machine, feeding the foggy mist floating around the room like a twilight fog before a summer rain storm.

  But through the smoky haze of whiskey vapors and the voices of the past, the memories mix with the soul's prey and come raining through the den of the hollow and haunt the wilderness like a whippoorwill weeping in the dark.

  Cats hate water, they usually smell like baby powder and only need combing.

  You have got to be f****** kidding me!! This from a person who vacuums a bed every other day and is a germaphobe? Cats are the nastiest smelling, most filthy house animals in existence!!

  What's Your View on Tipping?

  typically, i give at least 20% on my total bill.

  if the service or the waitress is especially charming, maybe more.. i wonder, when you sit at a bar/restaurant and have a meal and drinks and then order a take out ( i do this for my mother quite often) are you supposed to tip on everything, including the takeout??.

  when i stay in a hotel, i typically leave 2 or 3 dollars per day for the maid.

  But their employers... who make a pretty good living and can pay THEIR mortgages and car loans... are not. Right?

  So, you're going to short the staff? That just makes your position even more untennable.

  Are you seriously comparing a doctor's pay to wait staff's? Come now, we're not imbeciles.

  These people (as well as dr`s) work hell hard, at sometimes inhuman hours and shifts and are very low paid (I know since I have been there) and I don`t mean to patronize you here - but if you would make me choose - I would easily say their jobs (and mine) are a lot more "important" than yours - that isn`t excactly lifesaving.

  How many of them make $2 an hour? Like it or not, tipping is a planned part of wait staff's pay. Those who do not pay when there is no problem with service are despicable, to put it mildly.

  Heck, when I was a kid, I had to be drug kicking and screaming and then pushed into the bath water. I don't recall anyone coming to my defense and hollering about child cruelty!

  2. friends

  i mentioned the 2 nosy jw elders poking around my house 2 weeks ago (and posted a week ago here..and cannot believe it hit 2100+ views).... let me add this disturbing update...no..no jc yet....no word from the 2 old lackeys either.... my fiancee and her son and i were at a winery/restaraunt last sunday (a bad place for an 8yo...overpriced food unappreciated by a kid) when i looked over at the next table on the rooftop deck, overlooking the illinois river, and seen what appeared to be 2 jws ladies and an obviously not jw man with them... on closer look, the one woman was a single jw sister who had a thing for me....and i was chairman of her jc for fornication (not with me...lol).... and another sister..and her non-jw hubby.... i am certain that the single sister seen me but didn't say anything.

  i actually recognized the ubm first.

  as they were leaving, the married jw sister came over...i introduced my fiancee....and the dub could not help but mention this "wonderful" jw elder that moved into their congo at the request of the co....he is wonderful like roaches are wonderful.....but i digress.

  I try to keep things upright so I don't have to worry about it.
