Who would be interested in a JWD book club?
by TheSilence ini've been thinking about organizing a jwd book club.
would anyone be interested?
everyone could throw out suggestions of books and i could pick one at random for each read.. i was thinking a book every 2 weeks, but i know a lot of people have kids and obligations so maybe every month would be better?

Another name to add to the list of things I've been called.
by TheSilence inat work tonight someone came in with a t-shirt that read in large, bold print on the back of his shirt, "muslims suck!
" as the manager on duty i had the enjoyable task of approaching this very reasonable (tongue in cheek) fellow and explaining to him that our policy did not allow for such t-shirts and he would, therefore, have to either turn it inside out so it couldn't be read or he would be asked to leave.
his reply, "you're a f***ing muslim loving b***h!".

A few odd things I would appreciate some insight into.
by TheSilence ini've been away for a few days because my sister was in town visiting.
during her visit she mentioned a few things that have me scratching my head.. 1. her husband applied for a job and is really hoping to get it... it's a web design based job (i believe) but it's for the sherrif's department?.
2. she put off making definite plans to come in town until the last minute to find out if she was scheduled for jury duty?
