If you were having some of the friends over for dinner...

[Greenfield]

What would you plan for activities afterward?

I thought this would be a nice, interesting topic.

Well.... Last "tea-party" was at my home about two years ago, but I'll try to remember...

There was so much tasty food to eat, that my guests were not able even to move, so we had to sit and talk for about an hour and a half and then went downtown for a walk to the sea and drink a cup of coffee ( or something else) in a small bar.

Before that, at winter time, we had some sort of dancing, but I didn't like that kind of activities.

Also our COBE is a good singer so we often went to karaoke bar after dinner, that was also not bad...

But as for me I prefer small companies of three - five people and a good conversation with a long drink.

Rick, may I suggest for dinner: liver, fava beans, and a nice Chianti?

Suggestion 2: Pin the tail on the donkey. Musky will provide the donkey... (just kidding)

Svetlana, you and I think the same way---sharing an evening with just a few friends and just chatting and sharing experiences...over a nice drink..wine or ???...

Considering the source of that movie quote, I think this is pretty disgusting...Sorry Gary, but you really bombed this time. This is so 'not funny'...

Try again.

Ouch, that smarts! I suppose you are right though, so my apologies. I guess I was thinking how it has been used as a joke in other comedies, including a recent kids movie (Chipmunks, which I hope to never see again!).

Regardless, dumb post...

[jeanigal2]

What we did was print out some funny experiences from the brothers and sisters, and shared after we ate. Each person would read the experience they chose. We had such fun doing this. There is a topic here i believe in fun and games. I laughed so hard reading these that i had a hard time seeing. i thank the brothers and sisters for sharing them. You could also do Bible charades. Relating experiences are also fun. I have to tell of one experience that happened to two brothers in field service.

The brothers gave their presentation at a door and was invited in, and when the householder went into another room to get them a donation her dog kept yipping at them. The brother tired of hearing this kicked the dog in the face to shush the dog. Well it killed the dog cuz it had a smushed face and as we all know those types of dogs have breathing problems. They were frantic about what to do, so they shoved the dog under the couch, took the money and hurried off. I don't think the brothers made a return visit on this householder.

I sure hope so...that's pretty awful!

Yes, Gabriele, quiet evening in a good company and with a bottle of "something else" is the best "activity" for me. LOL

I'm an introvert and a company of more than 6 person really irritates and makes me tired.

Well, it probably makes you sick, but here we eat liver (not human surely like in that quote:sick:)

It is not exactly like Foie gras, but something around that. Not bad, really.

[campanula]

Yes, Gary, some 30 years ago when I was younger and trees were much greener than today the Boney M was very popular in the USSR despite of that it was strictly prohibited to listen to it.

You may not believe me but that song, "Rasputin", was the most forbidden and surely because of that - the most popular.

Yes I did dance at a disco-dancing, but not like that LOL :dance:

Sad to say but it's not a joke and they are both elders

Ummm... I'm going to ---> about that one other than I hope a lesson was learned there.

[Musky]

I'm sorry, but this is a witness "urban legend" that has built and built over the years. I have heard different versions of this many times, such as one of them shoved a book in the dog's mouth and he choked on it and they hid the body, etc. I have yet to hear this "first hand".

Doesn't it seem funny that the householder didn't wonder why the dog suddenly stopped "yipping" at the brothers and then disappeared?

And does anybody even know two brothers who would act like this? Kick a dog in the face and then hide the body? Hello!

I'm not saying that Shirley has misled us, I'm sure she got the story from what she felt was a reliable source. Just call me Thomas, until I hear it from both of the brothers who were there, I will remain skeptical! LOL

[jeanigal2]

I would rather you not believe this story, but it is true and i know the brothers personally. It may not have happened just as i told it but it did happen. I know that it wasn't intently to hurt the dog, it just happened.

My new fav game: BALDERDASH!!!!!!! That game is FUN!!!!!! and FUNNY!!!!!!!

Actually, that is one of my few fav movies I actually like. I love a good psychological thriller.

You want disgusting? Try Prairie Oysters. They are DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! ;)

You are my sister and if you say you know the brothers involved, that is good enough for me. I'm sure there is more then one story like this for all the hours put in the ministry!

[jeanigal2]

. I don't want anyone to think they did this on purpose, cuz it was just an accident. These two brothers are very loving, and they feel bad about it. The bro did not kick the dog hard it was just the way he did It I guess.
