ok, here's the deal.

several years ago my brother-in-law (who is also a reformed jw fader) helped us move back to oklahoma.

while we were taking apart furniture prior to the move we were using my drill and 75 foot extension cord.

I'm sure there must be something I can come up with, but I like your story. Sorry for your frustration, but thanks for sharing!

it's rather quiet on the jwd forum tonight - probably you are all out partying, eh?

i'm wondering what's in the pile of books by your chair or bed?

i have a couple of mysteries, robert barnard's newest one and a really old arthur upfield.

I have just started "Blood Memory" by Greg Illes. Recently finished "The Same Sweet Girls", by Cassandra King "The Mysterious Stranger" by Mark Twain, and "Naked Republicans" by Shelley Lewis.
I'm very excited about acquiring a 1927 Funk and Wagnalls "The World's 100 Best Short Stories". A previous set lost in the divorce (well, they were his ). Just got them on Ebay, and I'm looking forward in particular to "The Three Strangers" by Thomas Hardy, and "The Knightsbridge Mystery", by Charles Reade. It's been 20 years since I've read them.
Currently I am switching between Paradise Lost and ................
Para, I assume you are talking Milton, and not WTBs?

You got 'em Bizzy Bee!
Look, Simon, I made love to your mother about half an hour ago, and now I'm beginning to think that maybe it wasn't such a good idea.
Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
And in honor of Robert DeNiro's 64th birhtday today
You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? Huh? Ok.

I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.
If not Arizona, then a land not too far away. Where all parents are strong and wise and capable. And all children are happy and beloved. I don't know. Maybe it was Utah.
I would sell my grandmother for a drink - and you know how I love my grandmother.
