JRK- I feel you bro. Tomorrow on Wednesday will be one year exactly since my mom died. I had a dream about family last night, my son and my wife Mrs. Flipper and even trying to make peace with my brother in the dream. My intuition kind of felt like perhaps my mom assisted me in that dream . It's strange - I can't explain it. But you know, who knows ? As cheery and bubbly with a great sense of humor that your mom and my mom had- hopefully now they might be our guardian angels or whatever- looking out for us and guiding our moves. There are times since my mom died that although I never pray to an invisible " god " - I do pray occasionally to my mom , or dad when I feel I have a big decision to make or feel perplexed, or in danger. It could just be the little boy coming out in me at age 58, but you know what ? It helps. It makes me feel like I'm not alone. Perhaps it's crazy, but maybe it's not, who knows ? None of us really know. I've had enough paranormal experiences with what I consider deceased friends though that are unexplainable- I lean towards their invisible energy still being with us. I hope so, that would be comforting. I've got mom and dad's ashes in our dining room in a box. I occasionally say to them " what's up " ? lol.
Like yourself I lost many good friends through the years - lost a good buddy back in the early 80's to Hodgkins disease when he was 18. Another good buddy died at age 46 in 1983 of a car accident. Another close friend whose teenage kids were close to my kids like family died in 2003 at age 56 of an accidental overdose. Lost a good friend and worker aged 49 years old , a man of a heart attack in 2008 and another 34 year old mother who worked for me in 2013 of a heart valve problem. Then my parents this last year. Seems like it never ends.
But hey buddy, you and I are still standing , we are still here to carry on and put within us ALL those things these different people were to us, and what they meant to us. Sometimes when I close my eyes and run through the faces of all these people I loved so much - I pause and think for a moment the gift they put inside my head and heart. And I can see bits and pieces of my good friends come inside me- and I have actually BECOME them. This persons sense of humor, that persons wit, this persons caring spirit and ways, that persons honor and justice. And then I finally GET it. At least to me it makes sense then WHY these people were in my life for awhile to help me to become the person that I cherish and am comfortable with. And the wheel of life at least for me, starts making a lot more sense.
I remember seeing in a movie one time, can't remember the actor who said, " Really, isn't life really just lots of little bits of time and moments we string along and put together ? Trying to cherish those times , seasons, and memories with our loved ones ? " One reason I'm a big collector of photo albums. Family, friends, apostafest, you name it, it means so much to me. Just a few thoughts for you my dear friend as you start your day. Just sharing what helps me get through life. Love ya bro, take care, will talk soon, Peace out, Flipper

JRK- Very beautiful thoughts in your opening post. Well put. Although the pain of losing our folks continues like a nagging wound in our heart, the happy memory of your mom and the making of peace with your dad before he died , at least you were able to make some peace with him before he died. I did the same with my dad - thus it lessens the regrets we may have had if we had not done that. Take care friend, we are thinking of you and with you in spirit. Sincerely, Flipper

JEHOVAH LOL- You say that you " masturbated IN the toilets " ? How is that biologically or physically possible ? If you meant to say you " masturbated ON the toilet " - O.K. , now I get it. Although I have to admit- it's something I've never attempted before- I'd probably break the toilet seat ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

What Would You Yearn For From The Good Old Days?
by minimus in2017 and the world is probably more advanced than ever before.
prices are high for homes, food and comfort.

" What would you yearn for from the good old days ? "
That the Beatles never would have broke up in 1970 and carried on producing more music until John Lennon was killed.
And that Robert Plant & Jimmy Page would get Led Zeppelin back together with John Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums and John Paul Jones on bass - and produce more new music and songs in the studio.
If these two things happened - I'd be a happy guy

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today
by pale.emperor inwe all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

PALE- I'm so sorry that your brother is going through these awful experiences . I hope he will pull through. I'm so proud of you in how you've been there for your brother and the courage you show in spite of your crazed out JW family sniping and being hateful to you. After I read your opening thread- me and my wife were SO angry at the hatefulness of not only your JW relatives- but many that we have known and heard about. So sickly divisive - it's a poison that causes folks like your brother to attempt to take their own life ! If anybody is to blame it's WT Society leaders and in your brother's immediate case - his warped still in JW family .
Dude- if there is anyway that you are able to rescue your brother and give him sanctuary and protection in your home after he gets his mental state checked out- I'd do it man. Otherwise the stress caused from your wack JW family is going to kill him. I'd even try to look at legal angles you have available to you to get him to live with you. AS long as he lives with your JW folks man, he's going to be assaulted mentally, emotionally, and verbally by JW elders and cronies of your family trying to manipulate him. I wish you and your brother all the best of luck my friend. We are with you bro. Hang in there, I can only imagine how hard this is for you. Sincerely, Mr. Flipper

There have been rumors and whispers and murmurings about Matt Lauer's sexual behavior for years behind the scenes. You know, " his wife is going to divorce him, oh, wait a minute, no she's not, she took him back " - that kind of stuff going on for years now. My wife and I talked about this news about Matt Lauer - and we both were really not surprised at all. I just feel sad for the women who were and are his victims. And sad for other women who are suffering in this country due to the abuse of power by these politicians and well known sexual predators in the news. As Totally Add said it takes a lot of courage for these women to come out and expose these creeps

I don't really have very many phobia's - but if I had to pick one it's definitely flying in an airplane or a jet. I've only flown two times in my entire life and I'm in my 50's. It's a phobia I'd like to get over as I have close friends and relatives who live like 7 hours drive and a 12 to 14 hour drive from me who I'd like to visit, as I know it would cut the trip down to what ? 1 or 2 hours flying if I flew ? Perhaps if I took just a short trip flying , it would rid me of that phobia somewhat. Anybody else have my phobia ? I have other friends who live about a 5 hour flight away as well I'd like to see
