  2. friends

  i got a phone call from a person that i gave my phone # to.

  and this person said that gays are not welcome here and this is not what this board was really about.

  i told them that this is only one part of the crap that the wts did to people and that we are people too.

  I'm sorry this happened to you today. You don't deserve that type of treatment especially after you reached out to help this person. I'm happy you are here.

  Take care,

  I found a great ecommerce website that I'm gonna use for my business. Try www.volusion.com The backend is all set-up and it is quite robust. I checked out several companies that do the same thing, but this one was by far the best. They have a free trial period.

  So when do you put up your tree?

  by restrangled in

  2. friends

  i hope you all had a great thanksgiving..... my husband was so inspired he went up to the attic and dragged down our tree the same day (the 23)... i have been decorating for 2 days serenaded by vince geraldi's charlie brown christmas music.

  for some reason it feels extra special this year.

  perhaps because after waffling for years with the witnesses i was finally able to let go this summer after finding this site.. so when are you putting up your christmas tree?.

  I'm so happy to read everyone's story and how much fun you are having! I've been celebrating xmas for many years, but I add to my collection every year. I usually start decorating right after the Thanksgiving dinner dishes are cleaned up. But, ate too much this year and couldn't move 'til today so my decorations will go up tomorrow. Yippie!

  Debt and the danger of comparisons

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. family

  do you ever look at other people and think "blimey, they are doing well ... new house ... new car ... why am i not getting ahead like that?".

  you will probably find out that the car is hp or bought with a re-mortgage of a re-mortgage which is interest only.

  no money is going to pay off capital and they don't have any savings and are not making any provision for their pension (other than imagining that the house they are *not* paying off will somehow suffice).

  Thanks for posting this.

  One very important thing I do is not nickle and dime my money away everyday...no buying something for the sake of making a purchase. Any raises I get go straight to the ol' 401K...pay off credit card every month...no impulse buying. Then, I get to take great trips every year with all the saved money. A book I really enjoyed on the subject is Start Late, Finish Rich by David Bach. It is an easy read for those just starting out, has great reminders and is written for people at all income levels. Also, hiring a CFP who doesn't sell products has been very helpful with my longterm goals. It's so much more enjoyable to pay cash for something without having to figure out how to pay the credit card later.

  One website I use all the time is www.bankrate.com it has great financial calculators and other basic financial information.

  Sorry, I need to vent for a moment...

  by Abandoned in

  normally, i don't mind where i'm at in my life.

  i'm forty, no kids, low-paying job, live in a trailer court, etc (and trust me there's more to the etc, then i've already mentioned), but today i had a hard time.. one of my best friends from high school was a big dope head (no offense to the dope heads out there).

  he showed up nearly every day to our first period art class smelling of weed and was generally so whacked out of his mind that he got horrible grades.. he finally graduated - barely - and made it to college.

  Sorry to hear about your day Abandoned. I know it's tough to see people from the past. Do you still want to go to college? You'll probably appreciate the classes more now that you have life experience.

  Keep your chin up...you are a great guy!

  my cat died today... i need consoling...

  by theinfamousone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is the guy that sat on my razor blades the one time i was thinking of cutting myself... this is the guy that everytime my dad beat me, would come to my room and lay with me... this is the guy that one time jumped into the bathtub with me while i was crying after a brutal beating, the cat hated water... this is a cat that was more family to me than my own father and mother combined... this was my best friend... .

  today i had to do the hardest thing i ever did, i had to choose to have him put down... and as he fought the vet, and tried to bite her, i put my hand on his head, and he stopped struggling... and as they put the last needle into his leg, he purred until he died... the vet says she has never seen that before... this was my best friend and i had to kill him... fuck, im a baby, but i miss him soooo much.

  the infamous one.

  I'm sooo sorry you had to make this decision today. I have that same bond with my orange kid. I can't imagine how bad you feel right now. Pets provide a type of unconditional love that we need. I'll keep you in my thoughts tonight.
