Official visit from two local elders one fine Sunday morning
by SnakesInTheTower inwell, it finally happened.
a week ago sunday my fiancee and i were sitting in the living room drinking coffee and watching the morning talking heads when we heard the crunch of tires on the gravel in the driveaway, about 10:30 or so.
we looked at each other with that "are you expecting anyone?

A dark and stormy night.....my first haloween eve
by SnakesInTheTower ini sit here at my computer alone because i had to work too late to go trick or treating with my fiancee and her 8 year old son.
instead i am home to man the handing out of candy.... but for the last 90 minutes..no one...for you see...i live in the 'hood...or at least the borderline to the hood.... most of the kids, like my soon to be step son, go to the nicer historic neighborhoods with all the cool displays and great candy...so instead i am eating snickers bars...lol.. i did have my first carved pumpkin..supposed to be a crow on a branch, but i messed up the template...managed to salvage it i think:.

Gulper eels....why do teachers assign little kids "projects" that they know damn well the parent are going to have to do?
by SnakesInTheTower ini gotta vent...i am sitting here at my computer, using my nice, much faster 18 mb internet (vs my old 1mb)....and what am i doing (other than posting about the qualities of toilet paper)?....i am looking up crap about "gulper eels".. you see, my 8-year-old soon to be stepson says to my fiancee and i last thursday.... 8yrold: "i have a project due.
" hmmmm.... snakesandfiancee, looking at each other suspiciously: "when is it due?
" 8yo: "an animal, i have to find facts about an animal and pictures and print them on a poster board" as he pulls out of his backpack a large sheet of paper that has been folded more times than an accordion.

the futility of 1-ply vs 2-ply toilet paper (debate)
by SnakesInTheTower inover on my literature burning thread, someone jokingly suggested that when the big a comes i am going to regret not saving that paper for toilet paper..... this made me think of recent discussions my fiancee and i have had on this subject.. when we first started dating about 4 months ago, i would come to their apartment for coffee or dinner...after awhile i started spending the night.
one thing i noticed was the toilet paper.
lousy one-ply.

Burning literature (pics) and police called on Snakes :P
by SnakesInTheTower inso for some time i have been threatening to burn my remaining watchtower literature.
i had gotten rid of two bookcases worth via a thread or two here, mailing it to various jwders for (hopefully) nefarious purposes.
i was down to one last 32 gallon rubbermaid container.

Elderly JW sister calls me today, much different reaction than earlier call from Sister Naive
by SnakesInTheTower inafter my phone call today with sister naive (see link here), i really didn't want to talk to any more jws.
i have written about an elderly sister in my old congo that calls me periodically.
she is 90 and her daughter is 65, they still live independently in a small home.
