Do you get speeding tickets often, or get away with alot of traffic tickets
by JH in.
i didn't get a ticket in over 15 years, although i drive alot.. i always wear my seatbelts, never go more than 10 to 15 mph over the speed limit, and make decent stops, not dead stops, but decent ones..... here in quebec, if ya do a lousy stop, but that i mean if you don't completely stop, they call tha an american stop here.

Before I go out to finish the lawn in the dark....Just have to brag Since the age of 16 have never had a ticket for parking, speeding, or been involved in an accident. I am now 47.
I was pretty proud of this record until my brother said "yeah, thats great, but how many accidents have ya caused?"

I will look like a hung over, over worked, woman in her 40's instead of a pretty blond (not able to tell her age tomorrrow.)
Oh well this is life.
I'll tell you all about my trip next week and it should be full of goodies! (Meeting with 2 just outs from the WTs)
Love, to all.

Thanks to all, and he will be picking up his father at the Orlando airport tonight. Because my husband did not reach me or my talked about son, he called the younger son which he heared the low-down from after delivering the key and then headed to work. I was then called and lost my mind...probably why he went to Chicago.
There will be hell to pay when that guy picks up his father, considering the fact I just got off the phone voicing my insanity over the very subject.
Like I said, It's over! I left when I was 17 made my way through the world as a secretary, without a college education and learned my way through, thanks to some wonderful cousins.
I had to, my mother wanted me out at 17, I had no extended education, just my energy and love of life. I was denied a college education, and denied my independent spirit...
I was told JUST GET OUT .......
So my son has been given all, and takes advantage. I will not tolerate it.

No this is not conventional behaivor. Herbs, and supplements are BS and I have known many witnesses in the Business trying to sell this concpet. We had an elder making a living off of selling herbs to the congregation.
Herbs are actually very dangerous.
My mother had breast cancer and survived,....a full time pioneer... and my father died of kidney/bone cancer. (all covered by my dad's extensive health insurance policy provided by the company he worked for, for over 40 years which he did against the societies wishes)
The problem is so many witness do not have health insurance,/AND OR were hoping for the end before this so ignore major health problems, INCLUDING MYSELF.
IF I GET SICK I AM UP SHIT CREEK.
r.
Lumps anywhere are dangerous. Please keep us informed.

Just to clarify things, He was forced to leave at 20, he made enough money to maintain himself, while we periodically sent money for emergencies. We spent money on college which he had flopped out of, which we are now again paying for the same classes. (community college at this point.
This was a boy who went to private school up until 6th grade, was contacted by a major college by 8th grade and was given the privilage in high school of running their entire computer system. earned a degree from Bill Gates as a Microsoft Certified Professional by 16, and went through the entire course for Cisco by time he was a senior. His teachers told him he scored higher on all Cisco exams than they ever did. Guess what...He never took the final exam so now we are repaying for his education in cisco.
I am so ashamed as a parent. I am close to ringing is neck. Why isn't this kid ashamed? What do I do? throw him out? He builds computers from scratch. He has exceptional art experience, his computer art and hand drawings are breathtaking.
How far as a parent do you have to go? How much money has to be laid out?
I was married and working full time at age 19.
I am so tired.

College girl 21,
No, I'd rather he get a part time job to pay for gas, insurance, haircuts, hobbies, and cell phone. Also to pay for his clothes habit,....and I don't know how to spell this but Abacombrie Fitch? Underwear, $20.00 per pair, Shirts $60.00, also jeans from another company called "papercloth", ..$200.00 per pair.
I refuse to pay for these outrageous prices when my husband and I shop at Marshalls, TJ maxx and Stein Marts.
I will buy if on sale but that Abacrombie thing is so outrageous I want to scream. They are full of the cheapest fabrics....rags, leather and the most wrinkled garbage I have ever seen.
I defy anyone buying this crap to disagree.
The consumers of these products are sold on a designer "concept" which is disgusting in my opinion. How sad these young people are taken in based on toilet paper level clothing.

It must be so exciting to capture this kind of photo. I can't imagine the thrill. The biggest exotics I get are opossums, racoons or rare birds.
Thanks for the glimpse.
Keep sending, I love wild life.

What Type Of Congregation Were You In ???
by minimus inthe older i get, the more i appreciate serenity and tranquiity.

You could tell my congregation from where anyone chose to sit.
Elders, elders wives, self important, those going for positions, pioneers......way up front to first rows.
Those who were just average in the middle.....In the middle!
Back rows, the looked down upon, (marked, df'd, not regular, looking to get in or out) in the absolute back.
It was funny through the years now that I think back, My family started out in front, usually in the second row, and gradually made our way to the back when kids were in trouble or being watched and my dad resigned.
Our congregation held about 150 to 200 on any given Sunday (depending on the time of year and if a holiday was involved)!
Run by tough old germans, and new bethel releases. (OH THE JOY)
Many cliques, self righteous, and gossips.
IN OTHER WORDS THERE WAS THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
