This is the only place where i talk at all about the bOrg. It really isn't a part of the new life I am shaping for myself.
But still, the decision to unmask can be a big hurdle. The internet isn't a hidden world inhabited by just a few. I still wonder if there isn't some lurker reading the board who will recognise me and go tattling to the elders-although ratting me out would create some problems for the dub...
I lurked on here for a good long time even though I was a faded Dub. There is the lingering guilt and the fear of commiting to the "apostate" mindset that kept me from immediately joining and even still longer before I commented regularly and even then I posted a partial photo of myself, only posting my current pic when i felt comfortable.
Growth is a process, so take your time or take the plunge, or stay unrevealed. Whatever is right for you. I'm sure we will support you in your decision.

It's a problem in Whatcom County. I bought Tylenol Cold and Flu for my girlfriend last week and I had to show my ID and the pharmacist took down my personal info. It was a precaution against meth producers but it was weird.
As an apartment manager myself, I would recommend getting a copy of the Landlord-Tenant laws for your area either on-line or from a renter's advocacy group. If you are forced to move out because of the illegal activity permitted by the owner or the owner's agent, you should get your depsits back in full.
Just document EVERYTHING. Videos, letters, conversations, phone calls. EVERYTHING. I can't stress that enough.
I wish you well. -

Go up the chain of management, preferably with letters. Make copies, get a certificate of mailing-those don't cost, and when you finally reach the level where someone can / will give you satisfaction there will be evidence of the underlings not responding to your complaints. This is also good to have on hand should you decide to contact the media.
I know what you mean about not getting names. I always think to write down the name after I've hung up. -

My need for the board fluctuates. Some days I really have to read a pick-me-up experience. other days it's a good laugh. Some days not at all but I am addicted and many of you seem like virtual family so I don't think I would ever voluntarily leave..

Fluff - How old do you feel??
by Super_Becka indigitalfokus has a thread going for how old you actually are, but my question is, how old do you feel??.
you don't have to say how old you are, just how old you feel (and maybe whether that's younger or older than you are), and i'd like to know why you feel that age.
i'm just curious because personally, i don't feel my age and i was wondering how many of my fellow jwders don't feel their age.. i'll start:.

FinallyFree; sorry to hear about the fall. Take it carefully and heal up quickly.
In my head I feel about 27 but my body betrays me as i get heartburn like I never got before, my knee sometimes burns while i ride my bike and then there's an endless numberof complaints from my back and the spare tire I picked up and cannot seem to burn off. -

Glad I could contribute, I have disparate interests and books on most of them.
