the daisy rules
- Oopsie Daisy
- Everyone is welcome! The only real rules here are no spamming shit and no posting personal addresses, phone numbers or other similar info. I don't need that kind of stress. That's it, although it could change if someone gets creative or something. If you don't like what is said here, you can: 1) Say so; 2) Hold it in and stew on it; 3. Address it privately to the person who said it; 4) Snark about it to your friends; 5) Leave. Don't bother me with it, I don't care and I won't get involved. I might, however, talk about you behind your back or post your email/message to me on here. *grins* Them's the rules...all of them. Have fun!
do something good

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 405 Newer› Newest»Happy Birthday to Youuuuu! TSW :) Hope your day is fantabulous!
Happy birthday, TSW!
REPOST:
CK, did I offend you? I'm trying to see where I did. I didn't mean to, if I did.
Happy, Happy Birthday SW!
May you have many dinner parties and cats to snuggle in your future!
Happy Birthday TSW!!! Hope you have a great day!
Thanks Bella! I appreciate it.
REPOST----
I firmly agree with you CK the way that she approaches people with the message she wants to share really does manage to turn more away then draw them in. I think with her on Sami's blog they believe much the same way and if they want to share their beliefs with each other fine so long as I dont have to duck and dodge.
BD I feel the same way with reading some of her story. I think that if she hadnt of gone on the path that she is currently on she would have ended up dead by now. For some people they have to find that higher power in order to save themselves.
That drummer has some pretty kick ass facial expressions!
BD - you didn't offend at all - the Ouch was for whatever you snorted into your nose.
::passing Cheetos to The Dog::
She move like a mustang.
*nods*
Jimmy Fallon Kimmel is on David Letterman.
Okay, CK. Thanks for clarifying.
"touched like a cat" cool AP.
Clarifying to SW:
Don't snuggle dinner parties, just snuggle cats.
Alright - it's night night time for me (and yes it is only 9:07). Hope you ladies have a good night!
G'night, Lindsay :)
That helps to know, Shannon, why she is so adamant about her position.
Of course that doesn't mean everybody else has to get there the same way.
I'll work on having some compassion.
I'm out too. It's 11:09 here and yeah, my country song starts again tomorrow.
repost: Oh yes and the organizing of the meals. Wiki doesn't say kosher but it was. Family and friends take turns. Kosher has its' own rules too. Not sure if standard or why this Jewish family did that? I've been to 4 shivas so far, 3 in 1 family, and 1 other.
Oh, one last thing! I just saw the sitemeter and someone is on from Kirkland, WA. Who ever you are come say hi! I want to meet an IRL daisy! But come say hi tomorrow because I'm going to sleep now ;)
Sandy: hope tomorrow's a better day.
G'night, Lindsay. :-)
LFoG Kay, I hope you read this..still thinking about you and caring. {{{}}}
I may go myself in a bit...have to get up early. Gotta get the drops in Miss Arse's eye early and then drop Jake off with the girlfriend while I run errands. By the way, my son managed to be kicked out of the largest gay club in our area this weekend by virtue of association. I'm not sure to be pleased he felt comfortable enough to tell me this or worried about what he *isn't telling me if he found this worthy of being told. *grins*
CK, doesn't it sound like it's about our SW?
SW:
Bonne fête à toi,
Bonne fête à toi,
Bonne fête, Bonne fête....
Bonne fête à toi!
Quelle âge as-tu.... :0)
Lindsay, Kirkland has to be Kaytie.
Kaytie, are you lurking and not talking?
Yeah, SW, like FT said...
"How old are you now?"
:D
Southern Woman, you're where it's at!
AP: you have until September to find a (flattering) song about a French Teacher. Okay?
::SW graduated from high school in 1983::
::and she was only 13::
CK: liar. That would make her my age. :0)
Really?
::a little naive::
I'm out, too. See y'all tomorrow!
Where's SW anyway? I even had to type the birthday song on word so I could get the accents in...
French Teacher, I'll take that dare. ;-)
Look, y'all, I suck hard at birthdays, any dates, and own it. That said, anyone who wants to email me your birthday, I'll figure out some way of remembering them like sending Kristin a list to keep track of since she reminded me of SW's...lol...and do something for you on your special day.
Goodnight Bella and the other ladies who've left. I'm going too, I already told the kids I am sleeping in tomorrow and they'd better as well.
Goodnight!
Bella and all...goodnight.
Who had Bella's masterpiece of a quote saved? Don't forget to post it in the Best Of!
SW - don't feel old - you are not the senior lady here. I think I get that honor.
FT - enjoy your sleeping in. Drug those kids if need be.
CK, I think I might be next oldest. And compared to Corinne, we're probably both on our last clean dress. :-D
Yeah, and mine is getting pretty threadbare.
50's or 60's for you?
As in 1950's or 1960's. I know your not in your 60's.
oops.
your = you're (take that Ms. Flammes)
BD - I need you if you're here. Make me pinky swear with you to NOT go to ANYONE'S blog frog, NOT JM's and NOT SIF'S.
Craig Ferguson -
"Chicken Soup for the Douche Bag"
Daisy version:
"Chicken Soup for the Douche Canoe"
CK, I think you're terrific, you know that? And 1962 here so I'm old as hell. But not as old as you. :-D
Yup - you're just getting started.
Loved your story about Miss Arse today. Miss Rufies.
Why Arse?
You're just saying you think I'm terrific to get into my pants, AP. How uncool - especially on SW's birthday.
::secretly flattered::
CK, I'd never do that on SW's birthday. Christmas is another story, though. And if you say "Iris" with a backwoods Kentucky accent, it's "Arse".
I'll dream sweetly of you until Christmas then, AP.
Night.
Leaving you alone with all of the silent partners here.
All alone with my spinach and artichoke chips. Story of my life. Goodnight, all.
Karen, fill us in on job news and such!
Still catching up - but wanted to say Happy Birthday to SW!!!
And Shannon - good luck on the math final - I'm sure you'll do great!! and good luck with the Dr. appointment on Thursday too!
AP sorry to hear about your mom's eye infection, but its probably a good thing she went today to get it checked out so that they can start to clear it up - and then do the surgery! and her nervousness being gone is just a plus!
LOL AP you saw me before I commented!!
I was also born in 62 so am on the "older" scale of Daisy's!
No job yet - still on unemployment though - I got an extension granted by legislation at the last minute! whew! So now am searching my heart out cause I do NOT want to be thinking I'm almost at my deadline and not working and have to take something that is $200 less than what I'm making on unemployment - which is what that job was going to pay!!
It was so nice here today - we went to the park with Tay and my son and DIL and 2 other grandsons and played, and then to sons and cooked burgers and hot dogs and chicken on his grill - lots of fun!!
Morning ladies!
Happy Birthday SW!
Sandy - I am sorry - sucks!
Alright - off to get ready!
Happy birthday THE Southern Woman! I'm going to see THE Celtic Women tonight with THE boss -as in my professional boss, not my husband or Bruce Springstein.
Hi Kristin, Hi Margaret.
Have a great birthday, SW!
Happy St Pat's day to everyone!
I sent an e-mail to The Shaun this morning suggesting they have a psychologist vet their bloggers...
There is a gal at work that gets words mixed up. For instance one time she told me she put something in my harmonica = she put something in my accordian file. This morning she thanked me for the pasties = pastries. Dear God please help me it's not even 8:30, I was up most of the night and I'm cranky.
LOL about your co-worker.
What kept you up, Margaret?
I'm stressing over the little stuff and the big stuff :)
That's rough - are you at work now?
Yes, I had to be here for a breakfast meeting with pasties :)
Sweet....
The pasties, that is.
Hey Margaret - sorry you are having a rough time!
I'm sure there are a few that would enjoy pasties for breakfast :)
catching up and giggling at CK - your = you're :)
Thanks Krisin - I'm not really having a hard time, hard time - I'm just tired and cranky - which is on me for letting stuff get to me :)
CK-
If you keep talking about BF then I am going to have to go see what is going on. I just quit cold turkey. Help a girl out! ::grins::
Taiya - are you in Michigan? I may have asked that before.
Morning!
Good morning. Ugh, wish I could still be in bed.
Margaret, I hate that today is shaping up to be so rough for you.
Morning AP!
I hate mornings too!
Taiya - I'll stop talking about it. I need to go back to my self-imposed BF recovery program.
Don't bother - it's not worth it.
Good morning ladies.
Margaret - so sorry you're having a tough time.
Morning Sandy!
How are you this morning?
I'm good Kristin. Actually starting to feel much better. And you?
Feeling much better - just tired.
Glad to hear you are feeling better also.
I think moms with little ones are always tired. It's never ending. My son was up at 4am and then again at 5. Yikes.
Yuck Sandy - mine was up at 12:30 and wanted me, so I went and layed in his bed for a bit.
Taiya - i was born in Michigan - my mom and stepdad just bought a place up there. My grandpa lives in the UP.
Taiya - we are having pastries as in coffee rolls and danish but she called them pasties as in stripper club cover up :)
Sandy - are there other homeschoolers in your area? Or other families with children on the same spectrum? Maybe you can look at placing C in a homeschool environment just not with you.
Just thinking out loud.
Thanks Taiya. I wish homeschooling was an option. It is but I don't think I have it in me. We have one more year at this school so we're trying to hold out.
Taiya,
On SIF's BF there were some discussions about religion - that's where I was getting irked.
And the Shaun Groves threads on JM's frogger.
CK-
Well, I just kind of skimmed and left, so I am good. :)
Margaret- gotta love it. Nothing like talking pasties over pastries. :)
Taiya, shw would benefit greatly for it, but right now my life is a bad country song and I'm not sure I could do it.
Oh geez, too lazy to scroll up. Who's wearing the pasties today? LOL
shw/she
Sandy,
Margaret's co-workers. They had a special breakfast meeting just for this.
I hate bid day :( and stupid people :)
Kristin, I worked for a commercial builder and I hated bid days too.
I'm still here. *Someone is taking a long time getting and I hate sitting around and waiting.
I was reading MWoP...still say those two are headed for divorce. I'm now betting separated by mid-summer, at least
Sandy, I meant to comment about what happened at your daughter's school yesterday, as well. That was so wrong, then holding her as accountable as the other kids while knowing she has some issues that unfortunately prevent her from being *able to always act like the others. It's unfair to her classmates and to her.
I think so too but not that I know anything about that since I'm the resident 12-step sponsor. ::wink, wink::
AP,
That would definitely provide fodder for her blog, wouldn't it?
A marriage very rarely can go from troubled to perfect in a matter of a few months, or even a year. I don't know why so many of her fans (and SG) think the MckCouple have repaired much of anything.
lol @ Anemone O'Pie :)
Thanks AP. I'm waiting for the "oh we're so sorry" phone call/email. They need to apologize to C not me.
Top O' the Morning!
Glad all you sickies are on the mend!
Katie's from Kirkland? I'm sooo excited. Another Washington girl. Woot!
Margaret - I always talk pasties at breakfast meetings. Maybe that's why I don't work anymore???
And Kaytie - I'm sorry I spelled your name wrong :)
Never mind. I get it. I read it as someone commenting on MWoP. I do know who MWoP is about. Promise.
I would love to sit down for pasties and tea with non-PCs mom - I bet her side of things is interesting.
Morning all! Thanks for all the birthday wishes, and thanks to AP for the cool video! Birthday pasties for everyone!
In answer to the question: Quelle âge as-tu.... Je suis quarante-cinq.
Good Morning all!
SW, Happy Birthday to you! Hope you have a good one.
Feeling good today, better than I have in awhile. Supposed to be in the mid 70's here. I am sure the weather helps my mood!
Oh, and Happy St. Patrick's day too :)
Hey Suz - glad you are in a good mood :)
Hi Kristin, how is life treating you today? Besides stupid people bugging you.
I am tired but other than that, I'm good. LM woke up on his own and was in a good mood.
The sun is shining and I wish I wasn't at work.
Oh I agree on wishing I was not at work. Would love to go to the park, or mountains or anywhere away from work today. Glad LM is in a good mood, that is a good start to your day.
Good morning, all, and happy St. Pat's Day!
Happy birthday, The Southern Woman! I have exactly one week to go until I turn 39. Okay, fine. 41. Whatever.
Hi Robin, Your bday is the same as my hubs! Mine is the following day. Lots of March birthdays in my family.
Suz - well, happy birthday to the lot of us! Will you do something special?
Birthdays also not something I've done before, so not sure how this one will play out. :)
Kristin - we need to find you a job where you can be outside. I looked at the Texas Forest Service site and there are a few positions open, although I have no clue about Texas geography and where they may be located in relation to where you are.
That would be awesome RiM - I've looked at a few but the pay is a lot less than what I make now and some are not quite as flexible as my current position.
I will have to look into it though.
Morning Daisies!
SW - Happy Birthday to you! Sure glad AP posted that video so we wouldn't have to sing the dreaded BDay song . Do you have the day off so that you do not have to endure the BDay Conference Room Cake and Conversation?
AP - putting eye drops in for another person can be very frustrating, so take your patience pill. I am glad they delayed the procedure so the infection can be cleared. My best to you both.
Hey KaytieJ - how are you feeling? Was wondering where you had been.
RiM, We usually have a big family get together to celebrate bdays. My dad will be 80 (yikes) on the 29th so we are having a shindig for him. Hubs and I probably out to din din somewhere. And what ever you do for yours, have fun!
Hi KaytieJ.
Lindsay and AP - I am not the lurker in Kirkland. Used to live around there but that was long ago. Heck, I was up to my eyebrows at work the past 5 nights sorting out Trauma Drama!
Kristin - I have been working the last 5 nights. My shifts are from 6 pm to 7am, but usually so busy I don't get out until 7:30 or 8 am. I am sorry you and Sandy were/are still sick. No fun! So many people and kids I know have sinus infections that are lingering. We were talking about it at work. This year has been the worst we have seen.
Suz - Hello and Happy Early Birthday to you!
:::ears perking::: Pastry party and Pasties? I am in!!!
"I have exactly one week to go until I turn 39. Okay, fine. 41. Whatever." LOL Robin!
So, you guys know that I have "issues" with my secretary, right? i.e., she annoys the crap out of me. So I had two people come to my office to wish me a "happy 45th birthday." When the first one did it, I wondered how he knew I turn 45. Then when the second guy came and asked me if I was 45 (he was surprised because he thought I was in my thirties - what a great birthday present!), I asked him how he knew my age, and he said my secretary sent an e-mail to the folks on our floor inviting them for the birthday celebration (bagels Monday for my birthday and someone else's), and included my freaking age! Who does that?
I'm really not sensitive about my age. But I'm sensitive to my secretary's bugging the shit out of me! Ugh!
"I'm really not sensitive about my age. But I'm sensitive to my secretary's bugging the shit out of me! Ugh!"
haha
As a woman you'd think she'd know that, anyway. :::takes a kick at SW's secretary:::
SW, your secretary is out of line giving your age. What if you were sensitive about it? What other information is she sharing? Not cool. Sorry she is bugging the shit out of you, not a good birthday present.
Kaytiej,thanks!
Suz asked 'What other information is she sharing?" A friend of mine called the office to talk to me recently. I had my phone on "Do not disturb," because I was trying to get something finished and didn't want to be disturbed. My freaking secretary told him, not knowing him from shinola, that my phone was on do not disturb. What the hell? Why would she tell callers that? Say a client calls, do I want them to know I'm not taking any calls? Of course not! (Then they might thing I'm avoiding them, or only taking important people's calls. It's bad business.) I just want her to tell them I'm not available, or I'm in a meeting. Isn't that just freaking common sense? But common sense is something she has NONE of!
Who does that is right!
SW - sounds like you need to have an office etiquette meeting. That is just very unprofessional.
I know there are times when the guys are in the "library" - and when a customer calls, I don't tell them that but if one of our people call - then I will tell them they are "reading" or in their other office, etc.
I do think that is a bit ridiculous.
I do know ho-worker has done things like that b/c her friend works at one of our vendors and she mentions a lot of personal stuff that shouldn't be passed on - and has been reprimanded for certain things too - although with her, it doesn't seem to phase her.
Yikes! SW - Makes my toes curl reading of your secretary's violation of privacy and common sense. She is a walking disaster in the confidential or Hippa world.
She needs some coaching...
Yeah, I talked to her about it. And she said she wouldn't do it anymore. I just don't get why she thought that was something she should do in the first place. She's been a legal secretary for 15 years, at least. But I swear, it's almost like she forgets how to do things after a year, and has to re-learn.
Margaret - that she does :::nodding:::
Hi all!
SW- Happy Birthday! (I think it's super cool that you're a St Patrick's day baby) :)
Sandy- Would you be willing to move to Belgium? We have a super spec ed. school system with schools that focus on different disabilities. There are schools entirely dedicated to children on the autism spectrum.
I'm so sorry you are forced to deal with this BS from C's school.
Re: Mck
I think that AP might be right, they might be talking divorce. I've said it before but it's idiotic to bring a new life into a failing/struggling marriage.
I'm back to being happy. I had a great day :)
Reading JM's newest blog - saw her FB status:
Jennifer McKinneyIs your marriage hurting? Would things be better "if only your husband would change?" I relate! Check this out: http://tinyurl.com/yajmafu
I haven't finished reading yet but AP might be a "see-er"
I may be wrong but I think it's non-PC who is mentally abused by JM. I think the nights she called the police he probably yelled at her and she made it into more than it was. I think now she's trying to pin all the issues on him, she's crafting the poor me. I don't know how any man could/would live with a woman who controls absolutely everything.
SW, wow.just wow. She sounds just stupid.
SW-Happy Birthday to you!
For anyone that's interested-The Pioneer Woman is giving away a Nikon camera.
Good Lord that JM is a douche canoe. lol that felt good to say. She is the most selfish person.
Corinne, I agree bringing another child into a troubled marriage is not very smart.
Suz - it's not a man or woman's choice when to get pregnant - it's god's choice.
We as humans are blameless in all things with the exception of pointing out the truth.
Ok. No way I could get through Mck's post because, hello, it's boring BUT if in a year and a half of counseling they've made NO progress in their relationship, as she seems to imply, she probably has to come to terms with the fact that it's just never going to work. And, she should stop spending time on her computer and take care of her children and husband.
I'm baffled that anyone can still take her seriously - she's been wanting to write that post for a while, things are in shambles but she's speaking at focus on the family. How on earth is there a mcklemming left to jump off the cliff?
Well, I'm no fan of JM's, but the parts of that long hot mess she posted today that I was able to get through made it seem to me like she was saying that they are in counseling, but that she had chosen to still fight against him instead of trying to fight *for him (or something) and that this book she's touting is helping her realize that she herself is a significant part of the problems they are having? Or no?
RiM- Could be. OR she got paid to advertise the book...
Who is Liza - she's citing libel laws on mwop.
Robin, is this your first b-day post JW? They don't celebrate do they? What are you planning to do? Sorry for being nosy, I've just always been curious about JW's beliefs.
Corinne, schools here in TX are moving more and more to mainstreaming all kids with disabilities. I think it makes it harder on not only those kids, but on teachers and others kids, too. It's not really in their best interest. It's great that Belgium has schools with specialized teachers and environments for kids who need it.
I think someone used to do that back in the day at OHIH.
I ran home and got my corned beef and cabbage started. I am going to do Irish soda bread and I have Mickey's and Jameson. I am ready for St. Paddy's day!
I was responding to Margaret about posting libel and legal terms.
Could Liza = GM = Brie = Maria = Lyrics = Newman?
Christy - yes, first b-day post JW, and no, they don't celebrate b-days. Or anything else, so it's been a year of firsts for me. And I don't mind any questions about it at all.
Hi Christy! - I, too, think it's great that there are schools specialized in kids with disabilities here. Plus, they are public schools - there are very few private schools in Belgium - so they're accessible to anyone and everyone who actually needs spec. ed. :)
I haven't looked at Lryics lately -- any new high jinx over there since it thought it was causing so much stir posting last names?
GM is Brie?
That's exciting Robin!
I used to work with a girl who tried to explain the no b-day celebration thing...and she said something about it overshadowing Jesus birth or something like that. She didn't really seems to know much about her faith, just that she was raised that way and was supposed to follow along.
Margaret - not the brie that is posting on MWoP.
RiM -nothing from lyrics since the last one.
Kristin - aka the woman who gave documents to her lawyer/accountant/whatever and said lawyer/... shred them? :D
Christy -- Yeah, that's kind of how it works. Do as your told and don't question a whole lot. :X
The standard rhetoric is there are only two mentions of birthdays in the bible, both with bad outcomes, as well as the scripture that says something to the effect of the day of a man's death being greater than that of his birth. Or something. In all my years there, 39, I never got that. Or a lot of things. But it definitely is a religion that convinces you that it's to your detriment to question anything.
<---Just a teensy bit bitter.
Liza's writing has that sugary sweet tone and then whack - I know I've seen it before.
<---- glad she is Catholic and not JW. :P
Hee, Corinne. Kelly is ex-Catholic. We're a couple of misfits if I ever saw 'em.
Thanks Robin for the explanation. I'm bet you're glad to be free of that, and I'm glad for you. When I'm told not to question something, you know that's the first thing I'm going to do :)
RiM- I'm Catholic (baptized and confirmed) but I haven't gone to church in a few years. Last time I went, the priest said that atheists would burn in Hell. Yeah. Right.
I haven't set foot in a Catholic church since then.
My dad is atheist and I'm a moderate Catholic (I am pro-choice, pro birth control and pro-euthanasia).
Corinne and Christy - I understand. I don't believe in hell at all, so that doesn't "scare" me, but things that I was raised to beleive, but always questioned internally and now have dismissed, I still have this lingering doubt in my mind of "what if *I'm wrong." I hate that.
RiM- For what it's worth, I don't believe in Hell either :)
It just doesn't make sense to me in connection with a God who is loving, or likening him to a parent loving his children.
Katie and I had this converastion recently because her Dad or his family or someone said that I was going to die because of the choices I have made, and Katie asked *me why I would die since she thinks I am a good person. ::sigh:: And *then that made her brain think of her friend Jillian and so she asked Cindy (Travis's girlfriend) why Jillian would have to die since she's a good person who isn't doing anything bad, and Cindy's response was that God gives everyone a "chance" (to be JW, heh) and that's why JWs go door to door, to give people that chance. So Katie is telling me this, and I point out that if JWs come to Jillian's door, but Jillian is 9 and her mom tells the JWs to get lost, then *Jillian isn't realling getting a "chance" under that theory, is she? Doesn't make sense.
Anyway. Makes my head hurt.
<--- taking notes. Rim- former JW. Corrine- Catholic. etc.
I have some of the what ifs - my father is a retired presbyterian minister but his mother's family was jewish. I believe in God and heaven and don't worry about hell because I live my life in a way that I believe pleases God whether or not Jesus was his son or just a nice man that walked the earth.
Hi all!
RiM - in 1st grade I was "in love" with a boy named Lance. When I found out JW's didn't celebrate birthdays I told him, "This will never work because you can't buy me a birthday present." My mom saw me tell him that at my class party.
Robin-
I hope you won't get mad at me for saying this, but I have always been turned off by JWs door to door practices. I get extremely irritated by someone on my doorstop who will not get off of it no matter what I say. I literally had to shut my door in a JWs face the other day. I felt horrible but I kept telling her I wasn't interested and asking her to leave and she wouldn't.
At least I think she was JW. She had some of those little pamphlets that were left on my doorstop.
Lindsay -- LOL! Poor Lance!
Margaret - I ... gosh, I don't know. I've pulled some real shenanigans in my life that if I am wrong and there is a hell I may be regretting more than I already do. I do things (like living with Kelly) that I *don't feel are morally right, but more just a product of the circumstances at this time, but in general I do try to live a moral, honest life, and I do want to believe that God sees my heart and understands where I've been, where I want to be going, etc.
My internet is giving me problems :(
Lindsay - that is hysterical!
I never knew that about JW but then I am not up to par on a lot of religion.
Taiya, could be Mormons also, they go door to door as well
Taiya - I don't get offended at all. She was JW if she wouldn't go away, lol. They have a book that's basically all about how to get around any kind of "conversation stopper."
"thanks for coming by, but I'm really not interested,"
"Oh. When you say you're not interested, do you mean youj're not interested in the Bible? Or religion in general?"
___
"thanks for coming by, but I already have my own religion."
"Oh, that's wonderful to hear that you are a person who is interested in spirituality. Do you mind if I ask how you feel about this scripture?"
___
Etc., etc.
Not Mormon women, though. (I think.)
It makes my heart hurt that an adult would tell a child their mother is going to die for the choices she made - that's child abuse or at the very least brainwashing.
Suz- I have actually had it a lot with a lot of religions since moving in here. You would be surprised. Christians, Mormons, JWs. It's like a steady of stream of traffic on my porch in the spring/summer/ and fall.
That's it, RiM. No matter what I said there was a response. Finally I just said, "No thank you. Have a good day." and shut the door.
Margaret - it makes my heart hurt, too, and I'm kind of at a loss as to how to deal with it, honestly. If I sincerely thought he was going to die for the way he conducts himself, I still wouldn't tell those kids. He doesn't seem to get that that kind of thing is not the same as saying, if your mom doesn't keep oil in her car the engine will blow. He's telling them their mother is going to *die.
RiM, I think you are right about the women. Only the men..on bicycles :P
Taiya,We get a ton of people as well from all religions.
Well, the good thing about being kicked out of the JW religion is you're listed on the various "territories" that they are assigned to go out in door to door and nobody comes to your door! :-D
Lol, Taiya!
RiM- It doesn't make sense to me, either. But, that how sects work- it is not acknowledged as a religion, here. They lure people who are weaker (because they're going through a rough patch, or are uneducated, etc. )
It's sad that your ex-H and his gf are playing with your daughter's mind. :(
I have plenty of what if's. I've done some immoral things in my time, and still do, but I agree with Robin that God knows my heart and that I'm trying. There's a lot about Christianity that seems so doom and gloom, but I am trying the best I can, and I take heart in the fact that because I believe in God, he's forgiving and I'll be okay.
The other day, I started thinking what if there isn't a heaven? I take so much comfort in that I'll see my favorite people again, but what if when you die, that's it?
I love the little cat fight going on with Liza and others over at MWoP!
pretty amusing.
RiM, my ex SIL left the mormon church, they would not leave here alone. They would come around once or twice a year to talk with her but she would not answer the door. I am not sure if that is a regular thing to try and bring them back or not but she did say they kept tabs on her. Course, she is a psycho douche canoe so who knows if she was telling the truth
It's interesting the recruiting for JW's. And I am totally not bashing Robin. I'm sure it's still a part of your life experience, but I do wonder a little bit about it. It was almost like this friend of ours wasn't really a friend. It was more like a conquest to him sometimes to convert us. Like he'd get points in heaven for converting people. Is that the thinking of some?
Taiya, 7am? I would be rude and pissed off too. I most of the time just don't answer the door for anyone.period. I just don't like being solicited at all. I did answer the door on Sat. and regretted it. Young man selling cleaning supplies, and I had to close the door in his face because he would not listen to me or leave. sigh, did not want to be rude but he made me do it.
Corinne - I'm not sure what you mean by acknowledged there, but they are most definitely there, 25,000 of them by their organization's report, and have big conventions and churches and all. I don't mean that defensive, just didn't understand what you meant by acknolwedged.
Lindsay - I totally don't take it as bashing. I am bitter, and I don't mind anything anyone has to say. Technically your friend shouldn't have been a "friend," what with you being all worldly and all. lol. Is he still you guys' friend, and what does he do to try and convert you?
Oh, he doesn't get points in heaven, because they don't believe in heaven.
Seriously, I understand. I have a 'No Soliciting" sign on my porch, which eliminates sellers, but doesn't deter religious groups.
I try not to answer the door when I am home but LM will always go up and say "who's at the door mommee?" and the other day someone came to the door and knocked like one of the family members - when I asked who it was, it was a male - and I had to yell I wasn't interested.
It's getting scary nowadays.
Taiya - one of my mom's bff's has a daughter who married a mormon. She said that if they come to the door, after you tell them that you aren't interested, they will ask you if there is anything they can do for you. Apparently they mean it, so feel free to ask them to even weed your flower bed. I guess it gives them purpose and they are very sincere when they ask. I haven't had a Mormon come to my door in ages because my neighbors are Mormon and they probably have the job of spreading the word to us :)
Suz - I think like once a year or something an elder or two are supposed to come around and see if I still want to continue to be a rebel whore, or if I want to come back. :-D
Taiya - Unfortunately, what you just did the other day is probably going to be your best best, just closing the door. Depends on who you get, because some of them (like me, wwaaayyy back in the day when I did that) definitely understand that they aren't wanted there and will high-tail it at the first sign of 'no' they get, lol.
Taiya...thanks for the laugh. :)
THere's a scripture that gets them around the "no solictors" thing, too. :-D
Lindsay - that's interseting about the MOrmon thing. :::eyes the big pile of unfolded laundry and wishes for a couple of boys on bikes:::
Geez. I *can spell. I'm trying to type fast enough to keep up with what I'm thinking, and it's not coming out so pretty!

Yes, you said this...
