Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
by Thirdson ini'm not one for christmas music generally.
mrs thirdson has been playing various cds at home and in my car when we are together and i appreciate some of the music but at this time of year i tend to hear too much.
of course growing up i despised christmas music because it was either pagan or just too commercialized.. today i was deeply moved by james taylor's melancholy version of the oft recorded song of this title.

A poem in memory of my mom.
by SEAKEN2001 ini've never really attempted poetry and don't really understand it completely.

i've been asked by a few who were present at my mother's funeral and wake to go ahead and post a part of my eulogy here.

Stuff we wouldn't do offline that we do here

ever heard two six year old's arguing?.
typically it turns to name calling and "i know you are but what am i" exchanges fairly rapidly.. would we walk up to a 6 year old or a mentally challenged adult and engage in one of these ridiculous, non-productive and demoralizing exchanges?.

by metatron inin an organization as obsessed with control as this one is,.
i have to wonder if the society's leadership ever considers how.
disfellowshipping can turn against them.. i doubt, when they developed the idea of a person "disassociating.
