I did it! and it's your fault
by Hortensia ini went to the grocery store today - no that's not your fault.. it's 103 degrees today, not bad.
there were three people sitting in the shade in front of the grocery store.
there was a middle aged woman, an older man in a wheelchair, and a thin man whose frozen smile screams "elder.

mutual respect
by Hortensia indid you ever notice that people who want "mutual respect" or "compromise" or "consensus" or "discussion" really just want you to shut up and listen to them?
they don't really want any of those things; they just want to put the other person in the wrong for disagreeing.
if they really wanted a "discussion," they'd have the courtesy to reply to comments, rather than just do a hit and run sermon.

ebay and amazon.com
by Hortensia ini wasn't sure where to put this thread - entertainment seems to fit.
does anyone on the forum do much ebay?
i list about a dozen items a week - have been working my way through boxes and boxes of cookbooks and pink depression glass and odds and ends that gather over the years.

what's the point
by Hortensia inso my husband's trial starts july 23 and even though logic tells me it won't happen, i'm terrified that some nice jury will say "oh you poor thing, meth made you try to kill your wife, and i'm sure the cop you tried to kill understands, and the fact that they had to shoot you and taser twice and then five cops jumped you is punishment enough.
" if they turn him loose the first thing he will do is come and kill me.
and my friends and the cops and my shrink all say they'll protect me so i can see the scenario: "hi hubby, let me make you a cup of coffee while i call the cops and my friends and my shrink who has personally promised to come and kick your ass.

Fluff thread - 42
by Hortensia insomeone mentioned 42 as being the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything.
i was trying to remember what god's last message was - in "so long and thanks for all the fish" i think.
was it "we apologize for the inconvenience?".

Ten Questions for the Dalai Lama
by Hortensia inwent to see this film yesterday, not much of a film goer but i like the dalai lama.
the film was beautiful, lots of lovely photography, but otherwise kind of boring.
it was more about the film producer/writer/director than about the dalai lama, one of those westerners who worships the dl.

paranoia strikes deep
by Hortensia ini was in line today at mcdonald's with intention of buying only the 69-cent diet soda and i thought about what the little girl taking the order would think - made me laugh to think about someone else's opinion of my cheap purchases.
then i remembered all the following that i used to believe because i was brought up in the org.:.
jehovah and the angels and jesus are always watching everything you do satan and the demons are always watching everything you do the world is always watching everything you do (everything had to be a "witness" for jehovah) the congregation is always watching everything you do (wouldn't want to "stumble" anyone)and they are all waiting for the least little error so they can pounce and condemn you to eternal destruction.. it's a wonder we aren't all completely crazy and paranoid..

wailing wall
by Hortensia inwe need our own little wailing wall on the jwd forum - a section where we can go to whine and cry and others will be warned not to go there if they don't want to hear it.
i want to whine and cry.
my life sucks at the moment - my psychotic drug addicted gun crazy tried-to-kill-a-cop nearly ex-husband is now telling the court that it is all my fault - if i hadn't overreacted to his attempt to kill me, everything would be ok. it's my fault he had all those guns, it's my fault he decided to do meth, it's my fault he attacked his best friend and a cop.
