In response to Mike's post Lifted said: awwwwwwwww. Poor mogies not getting enough nookie! That does not give them the inherent right to impress my DIL and others like her...violate her for their pleasure so they can get their rocks off and in the meantime deprive my son.

Right on Dot! I hope I made it clear how duped I was. If I was...I wonder how many others were too (not that I'm the sharpest knife in the drawer). While I didn't know beans about veepee's business, it all came home to roost when my daughter-in-law became a memeber of loy's stable. When my son balked, they were thrown out of the corpse. (Advanced Class - June 1998)That is when I learned about lcm...it took a while longer for the rest to present itself to me. There were good corps around who "protected" us...but many of them knew first hand (some didn't). Now I wonder....I don't think they should have protected us to that degree. They should have been straight with us. They should have told us so we could keep our kids from that evil. Now - I feel guilty for that. The more I understand...the more I think that twi was nothing more than an MLM driving women, goods and money to the top where it could be enjoyed and abused by those of the inner circle. I am embarrassed that I didn't know and perfectly livid that I contributed to it all. It is sickening.

Everytime a topic such as this comes up, I usually read and stay silent because I don't know how to say what I think or feel. Exousia is correct about the times that class was prepaped and run. I took it as a married adult. When it came to the dirty synonyms I swear I had heard of only 1 or 2 of them! I had no knowledge what-so-ever...and I was almost 40! I was pittifully ignorant... so for me it was enlightening but still much of it went over my head. I was raised under a rock in a closet and in order to keep me from the boys (I think) my very own mother scared the hell out of me by telling me that I would get pregnant if a boy kissed me while I had my period and I was not allowed to date until I was 16! (I didn't know better until a few years later) I never saw any of the perversions. I didn't know of them at the time. I had heard a few allegations from time to time but they were under the breath comments and I had no chance to ask questions without looking stuipid, and I didn't want to look stupid. Just because I didn't see them, doesn't mean they weren't there. Local leadership protected us from much of the perversions and always worked hard as real examples to make sure they always took care of us in all ways...they were, at that time,very giving. There were plenty of really bad things in my childhood and teen years...plenty of emotional, mental scars...bad ones...deep ones. But when topics like this come up, I cannot imagine how women like excie and Dot can endure any of it. They were in a place where they were molested on every level...physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - and not only molested...but violated and abused as well. I can only imagine the torture of the memories that must come back time after time to women such as they. Thanks for your insight exousia, it framed my thoughts a little better. (note to excie and Dot and all the rest like them...believe me when I tell you that I wish I could carry some of the pain for you gals and I admire how you try to push some of the walls over a little at a time to deal with it and become free again.)

I think this is Paw's favorite....the Boxer yes! better than a sweetie!

Better than that Shell! The s&g music is wonderful to hear again. I wonder....what is the draw of their music? So many love it so much...what is it that draws us to it?

That was my first introduction to them in person ...I wonder if we were at the same concert.

That's wonderful.......... "Old friends....sat on the parkbench like bookends...newspaper blowin' through the grass lands on the round toes - - of the high schoes - - of the old friends......." Barbs they are - - true barbs!

It's like "Cheers" - - everybody knows your name...and also everybody knows where you've been. It is where I learned to trust again. It's a place to get your bearings; rest when you need it; expand on your horizons. Some of us actually learned proper social skills with a little coaching! And - - many of us have enhanced our spiritual understanding beyond what was taught to us because there is a genuine desire to teach and there is no class fee!

well I suppose you could erase your profile...and change your password to something you just "type in" and then save preferences.....but I'm not sure that's the info you wanted. Perhaps you could ask Pawtucket to take you off the rolls.

- - sigh - - lovematters understandeth!

May your day be nothing less than grand!

Why do you suppose I often interject: "Good Morning Mr. Linder"? There is debate about the waygb and its existence. If any of you put any faith or stock in me as a poster....I am telling you now...believe what Kit says. The waygb is alive and well....I have seen it up close and personal and it was not a pretty sight.

There is a malfunction on the site for the present time. Don't know anything more than that

I had to memorize this rule in order to keep things straight! Mother's Day is always the 2nd Sunday in May Father's Day is always the 3rd Sunday in June

ohmigod! Thanks you guys for remembering. These are really cool, and I really appreciate your posting of them! krys

I'm on the outside of this thread...and I'm not known for my scholarship. However, from where I read....it looks like Mike is trying to write a book....and have all of you critique it for him before it goes to press. I looks like he wants to write one similar to "Dr.'s" but avoid the plaigerism tag. Of course, what do I know? krys

Mike - - why are you here?

Happy 100th Birthday Mr. Bob Hope! [This message was edited by Kit Sober on August 30, 2003 at 10:00.]

Firebee: The only way it could get better is if one dips the peeps in dark chocolate.

Wasway hath reminded me.... How much THE enjoyed his Peeps with his Guiness!

Has it already been 3 years?! And, in spite of the fact that it has "only" been 3 years....it seems to me I've been here most of my adult life! I can't figure that all out - - but I'm glad to be here with all the rest of you.

THE fairthful remain THE's favorites :)-->

Do you think that means it has a life of its own? That's cool!
