  Helen Ready, right?

  Canadian or Australian singer, mid 70's or so. I heard her in concert once, good voice.

  I remember the song - catchy tune. The words are good too.

  thanks, pat!!!!

  this is the internet, simply put, none of you know anymore about who the other really is or should judge them by the lack of emotional smiley faces in their sentence structure.. first to danny,.

  we have spoken on the phone and exchanged a few emails and i consider you a good friend.

  you are much like alan in many ways and in others very different.

  Spy vs Spy was always my favorite. But my real favorite was those little cartoons that were around the corner of the pictures usually in the corner of the pages.

  Ya had to look or miss 'em. Like finding extra fun to read.

  As for all the fussin'.......just seems like Ol' Times around here anymore.

  I would suspect that the vast majority of persons here are fine, upstanding persons. The others? Well, all we're doing is chatting with them.

  Live and let live, (if possible.)

  Merry Christmas

  LOL.....my Aunt Sis would sit at the Christmas dinner table (like after she made a fruitcake), and when the mashed potatos were passed to her, she'd take a big spoonful, thump them onto her plate, lick the spoon spankin' clean, plop it back into the bowl....and then pass it to the next person.

  She was a sloppy fruitcake.

  nae, nae.....

  Rutherford had a foot fetish, which obviously meant he didn't like socks. At least, that's the usa way. Perhaps the Canadians like only naked left feet?

  Why.......that's how I feel about my honey now and again!

  One day, as he was leaving the office, he joked (kinda) about all the nasty names he calls me when leaving sometimes. I looked surprised and said "I think that about you sometimes too!"

  We both looked at each other, shrugged, and decided, "well, at least we're honest."

  Glad you're on the up road.....much more pleasant.

  Dear Farkel,

  You're dallying with The Supreme One..........good thing I know what you look like now.

  I still like your uncle - amazing resemblance to my honey. That doesn't mean you're not cute, I'm just partial to men who look like the man I sleep with.

  Yes, old people still "sleep with" other old people, thank you.

  I liked your opera without song......true to life, like the Simon's Cafe' we had for a long time before anyone knew about it. We had some poets back then too, very dark moods & sat in the corner grumping. Oh! Logical's joined them.

  What would we be without Logical?

  Enjoyed you.

  one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).

  Good morning Ashi,

  Sometimes life is just not good, to put it mildly. In actuality - no one here has the right to make decisions for you - as MD brought out once, this is a Discussion Board (I'll leave her yelling caps out.) However, lots of us can give advice - but then our own personalities and backgrounds come into play.

  It seems you are familiar with the laws in your state - can you go in and talk with a professional social worker - face to face? It might help you a lot.

  Finances play a part in this, to be sure. What will your mother do? What can you and your young wife do? Only you know that. We don't. Is there a crisis center there? People who've gone through this you can talk with?

  We're friends here - on one level. We're strangers on a lot of levels. This is a reality. You have a situation that you will have to deal with. Are there groups like Al-Anon in your area for abuse victims? Perhaps call?

  You've been able to give more information this morning, and much valid advice on both sides of the argument has been put up. But the crux of the matter is still your little brother. Plese don't be too fast to take his word on what's going on - he's a kid who's been beaten and has had to live with this kind of crap his entire life.

  I'm so sorry that you have had to go through this as a boy, and now, have to go through it again. Bad parents seem to just stay around in our lives. Take care, you can handle it - many others have. You just have to think of a way to do it, and others in your community may be able to help you.

  Well said, Tatiana.

  Thank you. Survivors tend to get bent out of shape.

  I apologize if I've come on too strongly.

  But the little kid is the primary concern.

  No offense meant, but the little brother who was thrown down the stairs is the primary concern here.

  1. Protect him - get him out if possible.
  2. Protect mother - get her out if possible.
  3. Deal with father.
  4. THEN deal with emotions.

  The mother may NEVER go against the father. What? Let the kid get the hell beat out of him while they learn to feel through their anger? NO! Get the kid protection - and the mother, because the father might turn on her next.

  This is NOT a new situation, as Ashi has said - if the police have never been called in before - it would be a damned good learning lesson for the father. Perhaps a night in jail might help him calm down more than doing cleaning with his whipped wife. Perhaps he'll get the shit beat out of him. One can only hope.

  But - Get help for the boy.

  Wendy, no offense again, but you said in a previous post, several months back, that you had completed a 7th grade education. You and JanH were in a discussion and afterwards, you said you wanted "to get" an education. From your actual posts, exactly what are your professional accomplishments? What are you state accredited in - within the mental health field dealing with physical abuse - and when & what state? What exactly is your profession in dealing with old people? I was under the impression when JanH called you ignorant - and I defended you, that you had some nursing experience. Are you a registered nurse? LPN? Nurses Aid?

  And btw, even if you are a highly state licensed professional with experience at age 26 with 2 kids and one on the way, and been on your own since age 16 - it doesn't make you necessarily right. Just like me, you can be wrong. The only difference is, we won't be dead wrong - the little brother might be.

  This is serious crap we're talking about - and I'm not a professional. This is when I take a bow to professionals and say "call professionals."

  Tina & I may not get along - but on this one.....this family needs professional intervention - pronto.

  Howdy Ashi,

  I am NOT a professional - but your pig bastard father is making it ok with your mother - until the next time. Your father, mother and brother are covering, making things ok - until the next time.

  They have been taught to protect the abuser and family unit. The pig is ingratiating himself so that no one will report him to the police.

  I am NOT a professional - but, imho, this needs to be reported to the authorities - NOW!

  The bastard KNOWS what he's doing and who he's dealing with. He KNOWS how to manipulate his family. He's manipulating them to manipulate YOU. Step back - it's your primary defense. And you are your brother's defense - and you know it. And it seems that they know it too.

  I'm sorry that you find that you have to take in the refuse (children) of both sides of the family. It shows a tremendous amount of humanity in you and your wife. Take care and act.
