I almost posted about the speed of sound but had to look up info on the gympy gympy, which I guess is a pointed plant. One more reason to not go camping.

Acronyms are common but were not so when I was born. My name, PAULINE, is from notes the nurse took when my Mom was in Labor. My medicated Mother uttered: This is - Pleasant And Undying Love, I Never Expected, and when the nurse handed the paper over, my recovering mum said, "That's what I'll name the baby." I'm glad she didn't use a seven word first name.

OPPE was the third word, but I digress and will write a little about grammar, in general. When I was teaching (high school completion to all ages) I taught pronoun usage. Now people can choose which pronoun for self definition. I have not seen how that is on standard or high school tests if at all. Online pronoun quizzes seem the same as always. One thing I ran into when teaching is that students learned around third grade to always use "she and I" and never use "her and me" which is the correct form when speaking about the objects of a sentence. Ex: "The teacher gave sandwiches to her and me." is correct. The word most frequently used incorrectly was 'their.' I do miss teaching but each morning when I face the traffic tie-up reports, I am glad to be off road.

I spent some time this afternoon rereading a topic here on 'how did you get the truth.' I will try again next time as my recall is not as sharp as it was, but I am trying to learn more about friends on talknet. Since no one in my family has come in to the truth, this site has been my conversation for some time.

"To" be or not to be is a familiar soliliquy from Shakespeare's plays.

I used to have bound volumes on the mid bookcase of my split staircase. My sons used to stop and pick out an article to cover, such well written and positive information of all sorts. I miss that set up, but am glad to have online research. I happened to recount that my study conductor had been dfd and left the truth again, so it seems I actually got the truth out of our literature.

Also, this is the last day with our CO, whose first name is the same as one of those missionaries. I was sorry to miss service today.and still overthought it, and even still would like to know what your fave re-read is.

p.s Brothers Jones and King were mentioned, recently, in a morning worship piece about endurance.

'Ambiguous' is not my intention, although I do tend to follow verbal games on here. Thanks to all who are putting up with my attempts.

Are there subjects in our literature that you find yourself reading again and again? I just looked up and did some re-reading about our brothers, Harold King and Stanley Jones, who were incarcerated and in solitary confinement for long periods of time. I pray for our brothers and sisters who are being severely persecuted presently, and find I am at a loss for prayer-words and understanding. These accounts help me to try to know how to pray for our friends in our day. Please share any pieces of our literature that are on your read-again list. Thanks, ys, pauline

Substance use and abuse has become well known in the past several decades.

US Dept of the Census does not survey for religion. Having worked for that entity, I noticed that the methods and the math was very skewed. Also the people that respond are differing. Homosexual persons were likely to respond in order to get counted, even if the survey/subject had nothing to do with the demographic they wanted to respond to. Our brothers keep accurate tallies.

US Dept of Health has issued some screen time limits by ages. Others have been mentioning this as well. I am glad we have 'Caleb and Sofia' and other valuable info on JW.org for our very young ones. A hired helper that comes to my house has a five year old son with unlimited tablet access. He can't read but gets lots of video info. He has said he wants to grow up to be a lawyer for murderers b/c that's where all the power is. She enrolled him in a mixed martial arts program, but dropped right out. Now she is trying gymnastics for this kindergartener to counter effect tablet time. I asked about just taking tablet away and she said her grandmother said no b/c he will have a fit. (They live with her grandmother). The Rbt Kennnedy Jr. report says under one hour daily for his age group. I mentioned it to her. I would like to introduce her to JW.org for things to share with her son. She has lots of questions about religion. She also likes to spend lots of time here, when she is getting paid to help, on her cellphone. How have you been successful in sharing Caleg and Sofia with worldly single moms?

OT? The phrontistery lists words about words. Most US tv game shows these days are word or trivia based. Previously, some tv games featured timed activities. This approach may have proved too costly or dangerous. Many word nerds, here, are attracted to games involving linguistics.
