Just watching my daughter's High School video yearbook with her . . .
by Madame Quixote inand thinking how normal they all look and act - having all kinds of worldly fun, very unself-consciously.
my daughter is so happy with getting a copy of the video yearbook from her digital video prodcutions class at a discount .
it's cool to actually see her participating in all the wacky events she spent hours throughout the school year preparing for the night or week before: the school spirit week, tacky day, the prom; the many friends and social events.

Planning Trip To DragonCon In Atlanta; any suggestions . . .
by Madame Quixote inappreciated regarding other atlanta attractions that you've personally "endured" or enjoyed.
after squandering yet another perfectly lovely holiday weekend glued to the computer, and doing housework and laundry, i've decided to plan a sojourn to atlanta, georgia for labor day weekend.
my observations and experience of this city have been limited to airport layovers, and i never really thought about visiting.. i'm excited about dragoncon, but even more excited about touring atlanta for a weekend, especially after checking out its attractions via the internet.

Navy Being Sued On Behalf Of Marine Mammals . . . what do you think?
by Madame Quixote inevery time i walk on the beach, i think of all the unseen life in the ocean - all of the marine mammals and exotic fishes i'll never get to see - except in photos or in an aquarium - and i wonder about the sensibilities and sensitivities of these poor whales and dolphins that have been beaching themselves - one or two in my own area.
i've heard that a number of the beaching problems are caused by naval sonar:.

For those who've settled on 'no contact' with their JW families . . .
by Madame Quixote infor whatever reason.
do you question it sometimes and think you should try to "reach out" to them again?
i was this morning and then came across the thread above and was reminded why i need to stay away.. but, still, i read threads of people who have managed somehow, despite being d'f'ed or faded or d'aed and think i might try to be more understanding, supportive, reach out or something.. despite all the problems growing up in a fairly dysfunctional family, i still feel a deep attachment to them and hope against hope that they might come to their senses (if they ever had any to begin with) and get help and leave the cult of jehobo; and we might reconcile,etc., etc., blah blah blah dream dream dream.. i deeply wish for them all freedom and happiness and healing and feel so helpless to free them of their bonds and yet see so much possibility for it, if only they could be reached somehow.
