  95% of the time it was Tim Hortons, the other 5% was the home of the mother of the pioneer in our hall. She always made us rootbeer floats and had cookies. ;D

  It's never to late to set goals and achieve them.

  That is a big step!
  
  Congrats on going back to school! That's a huge accomplishment and to already have job offers is even better. What did you study?

  I don't know how I'm going to give them up...

  i bottle fed orphaned kittens from 3 weeks old--they are about 8 weeks old now.

  i have become so attached to them!

  my neighbor said she was bringing a friend over this afternoon to pick out a kitten to take home...i am having mixed feelings about this.

  Aw the cuteness!!
  
  I'm under very strict instructions that there is to be NO MORE KITTIES!! *sigh*
  
  The baby of my house (well I guess she's a year and a half now) did not know how to use the litter box when we first got her (dispite being assured that she did). She peed 3-4 times behind the tv her first two days with us, but as soon as my older cat calmed down from the shock of not being an only child she showed her what to do. No problems after that! (well she would get confused as to which room the litter box was in and start whining anxiously, so I'd just have to run and show her) She was and still is a huge mimic of her older sister.
  
  I cried every time a kitty got adopted from us as a kid.

  Did they ever want d/f`d people viewed as dead?

  i think there was a wt/km reference on here at one time which stated that disfellowshipped individuals should be viewed as 'dead'.

  can someone please post me the link to some of the wt quotes relating to how d/f`d people should be viewed.

  it is very important to me.

  Fluff- Have you named your vehicle?

  i was emboldened by elsewhere's post where he called his mini cooper "nancy".

  the large glass of wine also helped me to make an admission.

  many years ago, i named my car "sully" after the scrumptious character in "dr quinn, medicine woman", mainly to tease my daughter.

  My very old and not so pretty car and I have an arrangement. We pretend not to know each other if at all possible. :D
  When he acts up I call him sweetheart until his behaviour improves.

  hello.... i was in the er last night because apparently i have shingles!!!!!!!!

  the doctor said it is caused by stress, which re-activates the chicken pox virus that lays dormant in your system.

  so i guess i need to learn some stress management skills.

  <<I only know older people who are in retirement homes that have had shingles. I didn't know young ones could get them. Boy you guys are all falling apart>>
  
  
  My doc said he had never seen them in somone so young. YAY ME. I was under so much jw stupid doctrine crap at the time. I really wish he had asked me more questions in regards to my insane stress levels and not my mother.

  I had them when I was 17, the worst pain ever. They were right along the waist where my jeans would rub against them all day long.
  
  I recommend low waisted, loose pants and baking soda baths. Pat yourself dry afterwards, do not rub!
  
  
  Mine was sooooo stress related. To this day when I am very stressed I get shooting nerve pain down both of my legs.
