Hey, I finally locked myself out. So here was my last entry, I'm doing re-runs now and starting a new series "The Best of Whatis" It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry but it'll never make you wanna re-marry! Anyway, back to business:
I have just returned from a cleanup morning at my new church. I woke up early this morning and really didn't want to go, "don't push yourself, you're still recovering from Pneumonia" , "Hey, what's the point anyway" blah blah blah but Whatis got his butt out of bed, showered and headed off to the cleanup. I met some new people and got to sweat like a pig cleaning out an attic. As I was leaving, the group leader from Wednesday said she'd see me tomorrow at the service and I told her when I'd be there and one of the ladies called out "I'll meet you at the breakfast table at 8:30 am". We'd shared a bagel together earlier in the morning. So, I met a few people, felt a little more at home and did my part to help the church out. I'm quite pleased with this aspect of my recovery, even when I don't want to do it I do it anyway! You know what, good things usually come from it too. So, the day is young and sadly I'm out of the STD collecting game on Sol's thread so what to do, what to do! Later dbers.
For a video copy of this last post please write Whatis and enclose $10.00 just because I said to! And if your video doesn't arrive then just "act as if" it did, you'll feel better.
But glad you are putting your stories to good use! Hey, can you add a special series to your video collection? You can call it "Mutual of Omaha's Wild STD Kingdom - it'll bring out the Animal in You!"

Umm, add an extra $5 if you want the Animal Kingdom version. For DVD's just pay in US dollars (recently re-named Obama Bucks). So act NOW as it's a limited time offer.
I went to church early this morning and there at the breakfast table was my new friend from yesterday waiting for me! We picked up some food and sat and chatted for about twenty minutes before the service. Apparently, she was raised in the same denomination as I was...not the one we're both in now! Later, I went over to chat with my small group leader and asked about the singles night next week. I told her I was gonna ask a friend to come with me cuz I'm too scared to come alone! She laughed and said that she was going to be there too so I will have a friend there already! So, little by little I'm developing a social network. It's a nice feeling.
Hi Sol, it's an evangelical Protestant denomination, the name would have no meaning to you as it is strictly Canadian and pretty small compared to most mainstream denominations. A lot of the churches that belong to it are ones that have split off from some of the more liberal denominations and are seeking a home. In fact, it is so small that I only know of two of these churches in the entire metropolitan area in which I live, my woman friend goes to one and I now go to the other! I didn't go to her church because I really wasn't comfortable with being so entwined in her life, it would have felt like we'd become a pseudo couple or something. It's nice to have my own place to worship.
Ahhh, man, your out of the STD running? Well, I guess I could say good for you, but I was looking forward to learning how to get to the meat of things. Guess I will have to figureit myself.
Your church group sounds wonderful I am glad that you have already made a new friend. Going in the firsttime is always the hardest. Keep us informed...I want all of the gory details!

Here are the gory details, BH! Whatis has just returned from his first Singles event this evening and I've learned a great deal. 1- single women travel in packs 2- single men dress like sh!t 3- the best place for a male to situate himself is at the refreshment table, it's the only place single women will travel to alone! 4- I survived! That's it folks
Wo! If I'm ever single, I must remember that about finding a pack. Glad you survived, Wii! Hope you enjoyed yourself a little though!

Wii, glad to hear your putting yourself out there, vulnerable once again, ready to be smacked by a 2x 4 upside the head, or on the other hand, fall back again into tender embraces. Either way, your alive, and considering the alternative ... always a good thing to be on this side of the dirt.
I'm back after a week on the road (last of the year - I've locked myself out of work travel !) and added some R & R while I was at it. Had a bit of luck at a blind auction while doing the business part - I think folks were too afraid with the economy as it is, to bid on a very high end item. As a result Ms $3M will have a very nice rock to wear after Christmas (8 cents on the $1 retail value). Lesson - don't be afraid to take chances.
The last lesson of the week was that there is indeed sincere prayer, but not necessarily in a church.
Glad you survived, Wii! Hope you enjoyed yourself a little though!
