Naebs: WW didn't get me...at least not yet, anyways.
D8TA: I don't think you really needed to apologize, there are those who say worse things and no asks them for an apology. However, I think it does make you better than the assorted crackpots out there.

yesterday, was, for my youngest son, the day that he re-commenced his fitness training in preparation for the start of the football season.
however, his car is laid up, the engine having objected to the extremes that had been demanded of it since number 3 son took over it's reins.. so ben pleaded with hl to be taken to winscombe, a distance of around 10 miles.
on the way there, the cunning little menace mournfully mentioned that he would not be able to get back home, please, mum, pretty please, will you drive back out and pick me up?.
It's freaking weird about pj's...here in china, I can see plenty of women go out shopping, even in western-style supermarkets, wearing their flannel/cotton pyjamas....it took me awhile to get used to seeing that.

i have really enjoyed getting to know so many of you.
don't consider this a permanent goodbye, as i'll most likely stop back every now and again to see how you are faring.
and to keep you updated with me and the family deal.. the reality is, this board was great for me while i was pregnant, i was so sick.
Oh, gee, thanks, Lisa...now you go b4 I have a chance to say "bye"...oh well, lisa was alright....

i always find it so annoying whenever there's a wt study on the good samaritan.
no one at the hall ever suggests that the idea behind it, is that we should be helping our "enemies" in a charitable way, such as feeding them, clothing them, helping them out in a physcial way.....nope they always turn it around to where it only means we should be preaching to our enemies, cause lord only knows, actually helping someone out in a charitable way means less than nothing in the organization.. anyhoo, the last time we had an article on that (couple of years ago), i specifically put up my hand and said "this is not talking about preaching to our enemies.
the samaritan did not preach to the jew nor vise versa.
incense:
it's ironic, no? if there ever a time the JWs needed help from those organizations, they would take it, I'm sure.

~~~he is the sweetest, kindest, most adorable being..
you know, I was jsut thinking about something. there seems to be pairs of posters that just have that "chemistry" where they just respond well/violently to each other:
syn and moe: excellent chemistry...they better get a room if they ever hook up in real life
lb and almost anyone here: I've got that easy, peaceful feeling, like the Eagles' (?) song says
prisca and mommy/wendy: whoa momma
me and incense: very good....two thumbs up
professor and whole wheat: i have watch where this goes...
reborn2002 and You Know: You Know is an ostrich when it comes to Reborn
D8ta and Whole wheat: I guess the toast doesn't my man D8ta very well. otherwise WW would drop the crap.
Spice_it_up and MrMoe: It's all good, no?

...with stops along the way in bird-in-hand and lancaster.. that's right.
today, i, my wife and my mother-in-law loaded ourselves into the car and drove down to pennsylvania dutch country, where we visited the towns of intercourse, paradise, and the others i mentioned.
we went to the mennonite information center, where we heard a lecture about the israelite tabernacle in the wilderness, enhanced by viewing an actual size model of the tabernacle.

Mary:
I always chalked the apathy towards volunteer work up to one thing: jealousy. The WTS and their Jehovah are like some spouses -- they get jealous easily when you spend time with somebody else, even if it doesn't take from one's marriage.....
my .02 cents.

To all my fellow Americans, although I can't be home in time for this Fourth of July, I hope you will have a good Fourth and are glad to be living in one the greatest countries in the world, America.
How will you be spending your day?
Me, I'll be trying to catch up on my email, especially to Nicole R. of the Utahs (j/k); shopping; preparing the countdown to coming back to Denver on the 19th of this month; applying for Federal government jobs online (as patriotic as you can get...Civil Serivce...I worked for the Departmart of Defense before going to China).
