my eyes are so itchy and red................is it possible to have it start it now it seems too early its still only april.. i dont want to suffer this for months , its been bad enough when it lasts for only 4 weeks.

I hate the bozo thing, and the dry chapped redness under the nose. Ouch!

My father developed allergies in his thirties. I guess I'm lucky to be in my fifties if it's a hereditary condition.

I never had allergies before. It seems they are hitting me lately. It started last fall about the time of mold spores and now again with mold spores or even tree pollens. It s#cks!!!! Itchy eyes, burning sinuses and runny nose. I dont know what to do.

It amazes me, that no violent acts have been perpertrated against the JW's

when i listen to the news about the school shootings in virginia, and the previous school shootings elsewhere, it amazes me that nothing similar has ever happened in a kingdom hall.. i'm totally against violence but i know that it just takes a nut, to do something like this, and there are plenty of nuts and angry people running around.... so many lives have been broken because of the watchtower, and so many jw's and xjw's are unhappy because of this sect.. are you also amazed that there has hardly been any violent crimes agaist jw's or the watchtower?.

It's truly amazing that in all theses decades with 37,000 Dfed every year and all the intrusive cold calling (trespassing) that they do no one has gone ballistic on them big time.
Look at my avatar,if there is anyone out there with the expertise to pull something off it would be me.The catch is,guys like me know that the 'pen (keyboard) is mightier than the sword' The last thing I would want to do is make martyrs out of any of them.

The pen is mighty and equal to that is being level headed, knowing the difference between right and wrong and the control that we have over the anger we may have inside to compel us to commit such senseless acts. Because we have all of this, we should pat ourselves on the back more frequently. Amazing? Yes! What I find more amazing is this, no one has come out and said "This will happen to the JWs". The laws of probability tell me that someone will some day lose that control. There will be new terms associated with it unlike gone ballistic or going postal. A sad event if/when it does happen.

i owe taxes from last year and owe some more for this year.

i didn't even work a full year!

dang!

DJK

I claim zero for myself and zero dependants on my W4. A little extra is taken from my pay check each week, but I always get a refund.

For ten years working at a small firm I had an additional ten dollars taken out. End of year result, bigger refund. People thought I was nuts.

A SUCKER FOR BORDER COLLIES

ok, i admit it, claire and i are dog mad!

last saturday we travelled to mid-wales to pick up a border collie puppy!

he's nine weeks old and we've called him ronnie (my son, dominic's, choice).

My wife and I recently aquired a border collie. She is nine months old, smart, affectionate and very trainable. Last night my wife and I applied a flea and tick product called Bio-spot. It made her lethargic and she agonized quite a bit from it. We shampooed it off this morning and we wont use it again. She is much better now.

Living on the edge of a forest, we have to protect her with something. I will research other products well before I try them.
