  @Crazyguy: I don't want to cause any problems for my wife. She means well. I am pretty sure I will be able to handle it for one more day and just be polite. Saturday night we are going out to dinner with worldly neighbors and I'm sure it will be much more fun. +1, -1.

  Yes Dagney, the anticipation is usually worse. So far, they have been very polite - no attempts to corner me. I think my wife probably told them just to back off a step.

  I agree with you problemaddict2. That is what normally happens when a couple from the hall comes over. But with a larger group they soon all digress into 'holy' mode talking about some great assembly part or even worse want to sing a few Kindgom Melodies. Exit, stage right. Last time, my wife didn't even notice that I had disappeared.

I will probably start drinking beer after lunch before they arrive. She knows that I don't like groups, so I am really curious what is going on. Perhaps it is to upbuild me with wonderful spiritual association? She even bought a new table-cloth for the occasion. I imagine I will spend a lot of time outside taking care of the dogs.

  That was incredible. Gave me strength for visit on Sunday by service group. I think my wife is arranging this to help me. Need to buy more alcohol on Saturday.

  New "most frustratingly addictive game ever" to play - agar.io

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  one of my kids got me hooked on this.

  it's incredibly simple but also kind of fun and addictive.. you start as a small cell and need to eat things to grow.

  that's pretty much the game.. of course as you get bigger you can eat smaller cells too ... and bigger ones can eat you.. as you get bigger you get slower but you can "eject mass" to shrink and speed you up (w key).

  Wow. I have been thinking about doing a game like this for along time, but for educational purposes. As usual, I missed the boat. Too much time thinking about doing something vs actually doing something.

  The only word that springs to mind is: compound. I can see why they are fighting over having an outside suite with a mountain view.

  Watchtower Content Producers Tardy With their Monthly Broadcast. WHY?

  by scotoma in

  how hard is it to produce a monthly program and get it up on time?

  they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?

  are they understaffed?

  Not to get (too far) off topic but seriously - "helper"? Isn't that the most lame-assed euphemism for a brown-noser, wannabe?

  what are you doing instead of the meeting?.

  i'm ordering cool personalised pressies for all of my non jw family online, whilst listening to some great 80's classics (currently fade to grey, visage).

  Pooper scooper duty in the morning - I have 4 dogs. Beer starts after lunch, But, even that is better than going to another brain melting session at the KH. If it is not too windy, before the beer drinking starts, I'll get in an archery session.
