Forgive? Why is there a need to forgive these people? Just don't let them into your lives is all. I don't see any reason to forgive. God can forgive but then he is God. I don't have to let them into my life. Does it say any where that you have to trust people? Why would you give them all the power then?

thats right we need more of those.......

That guy is hot!!!!

My dear friend Tom, we all can be replaced, don't ya know?

why now do I have to take a dump!!!

I thought I recognized someone. Renita. I will be moving near anoka very soon. How interesting this will be.......

In South America? We do that here in MN

OMG psalmy, when you do a project you go get the hardest one to do, huh? Hey I know that your floors won't get a lot of water on them but I do know how wet kids shoes can be at times. So if they go outside from the outside door and come in it could be slippery city. To get glue off is my worst nightmore. The carpet glue is an awful mess. I went through it with a wood floor so can imagine what it would be like with a cement floor....I feel for you......

Well I still think Mel is a hunk and I still like him....humph......

OMG John I can't believe you are saying that. I could tell you stories of hitchhiking in the 70's for LEAD and other times of hitchhiking. And you say it wasn't dangerous? WOW!!!! I forgot how idiotic some thinking is. I'm sorry I posted and I'm out of this thread.... :blink:

Guffaw!!!! LMAO That might have helped...

:blink: Well I think that its the ego talking. But the with these @ssholes it could be all of the above...

I met my Bob online. One day I was looking at yahoo profiles and there he was. He happened to be online. We have now been together going on five wonderful years. I agree you have to be careful about online dating but you have to take a chance when you meet someone if you ever want to be in a relationship. When I would date online men I would chat with them and then copy the conversations and would be able to look back at what was said. If things didn't add up right I would drop them.

I know exactly who your talking about. It happened to me too except it wasn't sexual abuse, I was possessed, he didn't know exactly what devil spirit it was but from something generational in my family. Don't bother with him as he won't remember anything. He knew me every year even said my name until he left twi and then couldn't remember me from adam or anything that he told me.

I may be way off but wanted to know if those guys in those pics may be Jerrell and Howie? Were you in Seattle area at one time? You do look familiar. Your boys are very handsome. I got a kick out of the taller boys face. I call it the 'look'. My kids do the same thing when they are annoyed with the other one. Its a sibling thing. Thanks for sharing, Jonny!!!!!

LOL good story!!!! Speaking of dressing rooms and toilet paper... When my daughter was a toddler we were at mayo clinic in an examination room. In the room there is a little room with a curtain. My daughter went in there and closed the curtain and I hear a sound like running water against wood. I go in there and she is sitting on this wood thing that has a little hole in it to put dirty dressing room gowns in. She had peed in there. Talk about embarrassing. I guess from a toddlers view it was the perfect toilet...

I know one person that I was told not to be around because they did not 'throw money in the horn of plenty'. So, maybe they weren't 'thrown' out but people weren't exactly friendly with them. And, they didn't have to 'throw' someone out they just told them that they don't have a hedge of protection around them and throw them to the 'wolves'. This subject is really a sore point with me. Its what kept me in TWI for so many years so that I did have that hedge of protection so I wouldn't die or my family didn't die. They didn't have to have a special written policy. One Branch coordinator I knew had a chart set up in his basement of everyone that tithed and how much. He knew how much everyone made. Now how sick is that?

I don't know about internal clock but if you do something for 15 years or more in your life that is a lot of years of August coming around. I go through the same thing. Every year at this time I think about how exciting it was to see people that I hadn't seen in a year or so. But its the early years that I miss the most. They were the most exciting. Even when everyone is gearing to go travel on their motorcycles this time of year I remember Sturgis. Some day I will go out there and see old friends.

Nandon, I also think people read way to much into dreams. I have found that most dreams are from my thoughts during the day all scrambled like what George said. Nothing drastic. I have some pretty bad dreams but if I look back to that day and what my thoughts were sure enough its all there. Could be that you were thinking about your dad and at a different point you were thinking about your place of employment and at another time thinking your sink is outdated. It can be kind of spooky at times but our minds can be spooky.

choke, sputter...oh gosh Ron where do you find these things? Did you google fake testicles?... I do have a question for you dog lovers out there. I have two shih zu's. When I'm grooming them I have trouble around the face area. Their eyes get that gook in them and I'm trying to figure out how to get the gook out so I can cut the fur. Is ther something I need to buy?

I don't know a Michael but then I'm a late comer to MN. But, dougie or dmiller might know. hey all we might be moving up in the next two weeks. My house is rented out out here and we are ready to go.

This is why I learned to groom my own dogs. Then I know exactly whats going on with them. It really isn't that long to do. I take a couple of days to do it here and there. My shi tzu's love it. Otherwise, they get panicky and worried. They look rather funny for a couple of days but its for their safety and also saves me a heck of a lot of money. My dogs love me....

I'm moving up to the cities so how about meeting up north a little? That way we all travel just a little ways? You guys know more than I so figure out a town in between the cities and Duluth. August sounds good to me.

You must have hit a raw nerve, Coolwaters. No need to apologize, I think anyways. You were very pleasant about it. And someone sounds rude if they have to point out to you that you are slapping people in their face. Oh wait I enjoy slapping people around....

I loved your poem. It made me think how silly I was to think that way, to think I was a super person. I count it up as being young at the time.
