Nicotine gum?
by Scully ini just had a thought about nicotine gum.. let me preface this by saying that i have never smoked.
and i don't intend to start.
however i am intrigued with the "medicinal" effects of chewing nicotine gum: it's a stimulant, it decreases appetite, it is reputed to temporarily give you a bit of a jump start like caffeine does.. i'm surprised that there is no rule on this in the wt, because someone can buy the gum without a prescription, but because you aren't "smoking" the nicotine into your system, how would anyone know the difference in appearance between seeing someone using regular chewing gum or the same person chewing nicotine gum, unless you saw the packaging?.

November 11: Remembrance Day / Veteran's Day
by Scully inpittance of time by terry kelly (music video on youtube.com ).
they fought and some died for their homeland.. they fought and some died, now it's our land.. look at his little child; there's no fear in her eyes.. could he not show respect for other dads who have died?.
take two minutes, would you mind?.

It happened again!!
by Scully inso i was at the supermarket today, and rang my groceries through the self-serve cash register.
i paid as i normally do, using my atm card, and requested $15 cash back.. when i picked up my cash from the machine, not only was there a $5 bill and a $10 bill, but five $20 bills too!!
i brought the extra money back to the cashier in charge of the self-serve registers, thinking that someone who rang through ahead of me may have forgotten to take their money and just might come back hoping to find it.

Has it really been FIVE years?? wow....
by Scully ini just realized that it was five years ago, today, that i joined jwd.. i didn't think i'd be around very long - i didn't think i had a lot of residual "stuff" to deal with - was i ever wrong!!.
thanks to everyone who has made jwd what it is - a safe haven, a place for fun and friendship, a place to talk about our jw experiences and figure out what comes next, a place where we can offer support and friendship to people who feel lost and alone.
when i joined, there were less than 2000 members, and we've grown to over 25000 memberships.

I hate it when they make me cry!!
by Scully ini thought i was pretty much immune to any jws being able to tug at my heartstrings anymore.. mr scully and i were out shopping this morning, when someone called my name and then grabbed me and gave me a big hug.
i hadn't seen her in over 15 years.
back then, she was a teenager and i was about 10 years older than her... but we hit it off really well and mr scully and i became really good friends with her and her parents.

2007 IKEA catalogue controversy
by Scully inhttp://www.ctv.ca/servlet/articlenews/story/ctvnews/20060825/ikea_photo_060825/20060825?hub=world.
this sounds strangely similar to janet jackson's "wardrobe failure" publicity stunt.
is it a dog's leg?
