Serves me right
by dobbie inlast week i had to go to my allotment in the evening to pick some stuff for my dad.i went past the house i used to attend for thursday night book study, it was thursday night and when i saw all the cars parked outside for it, i just had a huge grin on my face cos i felt so free and happy not to be there, it was the meeting i dreaded most, i used to hate it!no one used to talk to us - even my mother in law would'nt say hello not even to her grandchildren!
(the only times she spoke were on two occasions which really surprised me until i realised it was because she wanted her youngest son to sleep at ours both times, so they could go away), anyway i got to the allotment which was awful cos my little ones did not want to be there, my eldest shut the door on my 18mth old so i went and left a big bucket of produce lying in the middle of the car park.
on the way back theres a lane with a part where only one car can get through so after checking no one was conimg the other way i stated to drive up it, nearly at the bit where its wider and a boy racer appears out of nowhere making me stop.bearing in mind he only had to reverse back one car length i waited for him to go back.the git and his girlfriend just stayed there laughing at me, i had the little ones and didn't want trouble so i started to reverse(which i just can't do!

BBC show- The Big Questions
by serotonin_wraith ini only managed to catch parts of it as i was working, but i was impressed with what i saw.
i'd love to see it in full, so if anyone spots it's been uploaded somewhere let me know.. the bbc is launching a new major tv programme called the big questions this weekend.
its aim is to move the discussion of diverse beliefs and ethics out of a narrow 'religion' bracket, and to respond creatively to the debates taking place in modern britain.

How many families make up your hall - or old hall?
by Billzfan23 ini was wondering how many families (extended families) make up your congregation or the one that you used to belong to if you are gone... i have been in 3 different congregations in my life, and it seems like in every one of them there were about 4 or 5 families that made up the bulk of the congregation and almost everyone else was related in one way or another to those 4 or 5 families.
for example, in my congregation now about 90% of the hall is related as siblings, spouses, in-laws, cousins, or parents of every publisher.
that seems to be very typical - and as families break down, so do congregations....

If you are thinking of counselling and unsure ..try it!
by dobbie inmay seem a strange topic but i know (myself included) that sometimes we feel like we have no one to openly talk to, we are full of anger, hate, sadness etc at how we have/are being treated by loved ones, until the pain gets too much.
there may come a point that you think about getting professional help but are unsure maybe because of not knowing what to expect, that it might make you worse not better, that you couldn't talk to a stranger etc.
just wanted to let you know my hubbys experience so far.
