...JW's are forbidden from associating with anyone outside the 'Truth' (what they call their religion) if they aren't trying to convert them.

This is where a certain level of creativity with the notion of conversion is required.

I’ve been watching Always Sunny in Philadelphia backwards. And the story actually works that way!

I started with season 12 and am working back. Now on season 6. I think it works because there is really no plot like Seinfeld.

The charity I walked for (and some of you kindly sponsored!) have asked me if I would be prepared to speak at an event they are putting on about recovery from abusive relationships.

I'm about to go on holiday so have said I'll discuss when I come back. It's in this thread because I'm beyond honoured to be asked, but I'm honestly not sure. Aside from the fact I've never been a good public speaker (I don't like being the focus of attention in a space - and it doesn't come a great deal more direct than standing in a room delivering a talk), I just honestly don't know what I'd say and feels like a lot of responsibility with such a tricky, highly personal subject.

Still, wonderful thing to be asked to do!

Awesome day

I picked up a iPhone 11 promax .. fun toy. I have always had a very anti leading front edge of this type of product cause you know spying. ( remember soon they will link your debit card and your phone so you go drink a few and your phone is in drive mode it will ping a police car to pull you over.. 2 years outish. The dangers of spying ! Pay cash )

But whatever modern tech rocks !

And I found out in a very remarkable week that my company will sponsor me for my green belt lean six sigma. If I pass they will pay for ANY cert in this pathway including the quality engineer one etc etc . Kinda crazy how corners are turned. I took the challenge.. but it makes for a huge 1-2 year project.

I got dropped off the project and oh my god it’s a behemoth. /gulps

Why not suggest to the organisers of the event that you make it more of a discussion rather than just you talking? For example it could be you being "interviewed" for want of a better term by one of the staff about your experiences. You could prepare the answers beforehand rather than doing an actual talk...

Official word this week - back to Brisvegas next year for at least 3 years!

Oh cool. Congrats on finally having your bris -- it's unusual at your age, but c'est la vie! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Thanks. I'm not usually one to brag, but apparently it's not everyone who needs 8 mohels and 5 litres of local anaesthetic. (And 10 shots of vodka)

That's a really good idea - thanks Tiste!

First game of indoor season. Started with no subs, played second half a man down against a team with almost 3 full lines.

Won 5:1. Felt like I was in good enough shape to run another game.
Mind, the team we played was pretty terrible (the score, and the fact that I scored a goal- which is something that happens like once in a few years), but it was still a good feeling.

Later in the day my trivia team totally bombed out pub quiz tho, so the cosmic balance was restored,

Hmmmm, trying to figure out the C.

You just loop it like an 'O', but leave a little gap on the right.

I think I figured out the BK in that acronym and that's all
