it's the day that i am getting married!
i've waited 42 long years for this day and it's been well worth the wait!
although we cannot afford a big honeymoon, but we've been lucky to get 2 free nights at a local hotel, compliments by her cousin.
CONGRATULATIONS, ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!!
My husband and I could not take our honeymoon until a year later. We couldn't afford anything. My husband won a trip and we were sent to Barbados for a week. It was worth waiting for, it seemed all the sweeter!
In the mean time we honeymooned in our little apartment. Wonderful memories!
Best regards!

my uncle just informed me that a talk given 2 months ago "obedience or innovation" by the co sent chills up his spine.
this talk is apparently making the rounds delivered by all co's and is part of what seems to be a get in or be shunned renewed effort.
it is the same talk that apparently sent my mom over the edge with me after 30 years out.
Daniel-P you are absolutely correct. I am only quoting what I was told, but think about where it is coming from. Seems to fit right in ...don't you think?!!!!!! :)

Think about it, Obedience as in following orders or Innovation as in making up your own rules. No rocket science thinking required.

He said he sat there thinking this is going to create havoc in many families. It was delivered by a 30 year old CO with no kids. He was furious and decided not to attend the latest District Assembly. This is a man who is still in, served in Bethel and has seen it all. He has his own opinions and let his kids decide for themselves with no reservations, retrobutions, etc....... (we all should have been so fortunate!)
A most unlikely character in the JW fold.
Anyway, I just wondered if any of you still attending had heard this talk or if someone has a transcript.

btw: excluding joining jwism unless it's too intriguing not to say.
here's mine: .
it was in the day when the paraffin man went around selling to those that still had the old paraffin burners to keep their house warm.
Got babtized under pressure at age 14. Seems I've never stopped paying for that maneuver.

this happened in oakland, wv.
anyone ever hear about this?
my uncle was as crazy as a loon, and evidently when the elders came knocking, he decided to beat them up.
My uncle, too old to beat on the breathren, just pissed all over the outside of a kingdom hall.
He was a Marine in his day and just had no use for any of it. He is dead now, ...BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!

just an fyi for anyone interested - there is a major drive on to push the bill forward for national healthcare in the usa.
you can sign the petition by going to http://www.onecarenow.org/.. it has gone through one part of the process last year and now the push is on to get it moved to the next level - it is backed by over 400 groups including the uaw i believe.
it is no longer if it happens, it is only a matter of time as to when it happens.
I'm going to put in my 2 cents here as a former legal secratry for personal injury attorneys.
I have read about 4 pages but no further.
I will tell you where some major BS is in this system....as Follows:
Lets say, you are in a car accident and your PIP-- (personal injury protection) covers 10,000 of your emergency room coverage with a $500 deductible. The ER based upon a car accident is going to ---bill your insurance comapny for full price. After that is used up........ There is a special phone number for attorneys to negotiate the price of your admittance and care. This was part of my job. Negotiating with the Major Hospitals, Doctors, chiros, and all others concerned....after the fact!
Guess what, most hospitals would reduce their bill by 45 percent, doctors, xray firms, etc., would acutally drop the charges....and then you would see them the following week going to lunch with the attorneys.
This my friends does not work for anyone uninsured. You are billed full price by all involved with no negotiating power.
Those insured are paying a nice reduced rate despite their deductibles.
The uninsured are raped and pillaged at anyones whim.....at inflated prices. No negotiating is discussed.
Guess what, as an uninsured at this point, after paying in for years......I refuse to pay, ,,,,and I argue big time. Refuse to pay certain bills, and then......they they are dropped.
any questions?
Just ask....R. (amy)

is it just me or is dr. z (dieter zetsche) the coolest mofo around these days .
Sorry, haven't read all replys and this site doesn' t appear to contain a serious inquirey. But... just for fun...we bought our son a Dodge Dakotah truck which now has 150,000 miles. It runs like a top and looks pretty sharp with all the trim, tires, etc.
Cost: 5000.00 1/1/2 years ago....absolutely no problems.
And I may be way off the subject....sorry.

am at my wits end with my boys' bathroom, bedrooms, laundry and kitchen habits.
before i give them the big rant tomorrow, i'd like to find out what everyone here expects out of their little darlings.. thanks,.
I so appreciate everyone's input. Thanks for letting me vent.
There are many suggestions I will institute. Some I can't. Charging rent in this day and age at minimum wage while they are in school is pretty impossible. They can rarely keep their gas tanks full going back and forth to school and work. We are usually contributing a $20 during the week to both fellas.
On the other hand they can be contributing much more around here.
I am getting way to old and tired to keep up this pace with both of them back at home......HEY! WASN'T I SUPPOSE TO BE RETIRED BY NOW AS A FULL TIME MOM? :)!
A hug to each of you for your responses.
R.
