There were some very dangerous characters but because the story had some time travel, the horrible timelines and fates were erased.

Two that come to mind are Nathaniel Pratt and Baccara.

The sisters could have kept their eye on Pratt even after changing the dog walking, but never did. With Baccara, they don’t even know about him at all. He is just a bum demon wandering around but maybe the writers could have went back to him and his potential.

Any other characters or even small storylines that could have been more?

Used to have these ads/classifieds on Our Town, Patch, Nextdoor. Or these bulletin boards at the markets like Sloans had years ago. But not as much as before.

What’s still a good source to find some hiring in the neighborhood?

There is a small stretch of bakeries between 84 and 88 on Lex. The French one on 85th (bus stop in front). On 87th is Eli's, one next to it with a nice chandelier, and across the street at the corner (next to Staples) is another one. Any comments on which are great?

There were these body switching episodes where the cast had to act out of their own character. Like when Leo and Piper switched and Brian Krauss played Piper really well and Holly was good too playing Leo.

Another one had Phoebe and Paige switch. (When Cole found out, he purposely kissed Phoebe in Paige's body with Paige looking. 🤣)

The fairy story when the little girl tossed the dust and Phoebe and Prue acted like 9 year olds for a while. Another one IIRC had this botched spell and Paige, Phoebe and Piper all acted as little girls.

Other episodes had one possessed by witches, or under really strange spells and you can see their acting chops. What are your favorites?

The flip side of hard to watch would be the memorable ones. Some to me are:

The one with the ending of all 3 separately with their boyfriends. Piper and Leo were in bed and Piper yelled to the ceiling (at the Elders): "I hope you all enjoyed the show."

When the elder hinted that Piper was pregnant and Phoebe and Paige were so excited

That 70s show - Prue meeting and hugging her younger self. etc. All of it except for the hotel room scene.

Witch stock - Especially when Paige confronted Leo "Hey there sun god"

Sleepy Halliwell - When Phoebe confronted Chris "no games, no running away. Are you Wyatt's younger brother?"

The moment Piper found out about Chris and then he walked in and she turned around and stared.

When Godiva felt "free" and disrobed in front of everybody and Piper turned Leo's head around

The Charisma Carpenter one - Great performance by Charisma. All of it except for the very end. Shame...

Ms. Hellfire - The Prue episode

I check out the entire series sometimes on the streaming feeds (Plex and Pluto) and a few episodes I remember have scenes where I just change the feed for a few minutes and go back to it afterwards.

That 70s episode - When their mother (pregnant with Phoebe) went to the hotel room thinking it was Victor, but it was a trap by the demon Nicholas

The Devil's Music - All the young girls showing through the demon's skin

Size Matters - with Robert Englund shrinking people and turning them into figurines

The Fifth Halliwell - Cole traps Paige in the attic and terrorizes her

What scenes are hard to watch for you?

The common job listing sites Indeed and Glassdoor have an overlap of the same positions. Linkedin and Bandana are Ok. (Bandana has this AI character that can email you tailored openings). Agency listings are just there and it is good to know someone at the agency assigned to you in some of them. Then there is networking, and even walking in your own area and briefly talk to the store or office manager (I passed by a few high rise buildings and did that). What other methods have you tried?

In some of the sessions, I found it surreal getting into some of the past experiences and emotions, feelings, body sensations (even involuntary movements) that came up.
Practically reliving yourself at that time. Anyone else feel that way?

I remember reading some postings here months ago. They dealt with processing something else (as in some underlying memory or childhood feelings) first and that cleared up the processing of their "target".

It just highlighted how interconnected/intersected things can be. If anyone can share a link of postings or if they can relate, please share. Thanks in advance. (My apologies if I am not using better wording/terminology to describe things.)

Like the majority, I’ve been looking. I’ve had some temp assignments and Summer relief doing office work (front desk, computer support) and in buildings as concierge and building staff lifting boxes as some ads say up to 40lbs.

Usually I’m in Manhattan and commute there the Bronx, and Queens. If any interest, let me know.

It used to be that an intern or a temp would get their "foot in the door" in an office doing clerical/admin, computer support work ie. data entry, spread sheets, typing, mail merge and that sort of thing. But with AI these days, has most of that been replaced or redundant?

This might be of help: The temp agencies online have office work assignments but some of them lean toward specialties. I know some specialize in work as a home attendant, health aide, another one has domestic work (ie. nanny, au pair, cleaning,), and another one centers around catering. Flexstaff deals with hospitals, med centers. Randstad has a variety including warehouse labor and operating forklifts. Goodtemps has assignments with NYC department services. Any other agencies, your experiences and so on?

When you were PIMI, it was the routine of JW activities and looking to the future fulfillment of prophecies.

But all these years later, (long enough for the WT to redefine their understanding of "generation"), being that much older and legitimately asking "Where is this promised presence of his?" When you see the same old material on the webpage and new literature, doesn't it all seem hollow now?

I see Dez in a few of the Prince documentaries. Early MTV played very few black artists and Prince was one of them. Dez Dickerson said in one of the documentaries that when MTV put the videos "1999" and "Corvette" on rotation, the band noticed in their concerts the audience was getting more and more white. By "Purple Rain" he was replaced by Wendy (19 years old). But he had a brief part in the movie.

He was the Modernaire singing the song. The owner told Kid "I got 3 acts and I don't need 4" and Modernaire was the 3rd act but the movie intentionally kept it to a two band rivalry and left Dez "Modernaire" unchallenged, even though his music was similar to the Kid than Morris and the Time.

Always liked Dez and the other earlier musicians. Prince had good taste selecting members.

It was a good story idea to have Piper buy a club so in the end they have a place to unwind and have a music act.

I remember the group Orgy on stage (Prue asked Piper who were they in passing). And a few seasons later Ziggy Marley was there. (Quite a range!)

I wish they showed more than a few seconds of the acts performing but budget I guess. 😂 What bands you remember? Any favorites?

I got a few NWT quotes I still remember and laugh at sometimes.

In the NWT, when Moses tried to break up a fight, one of them told him "Who appointed you as prince over us?"

Jesus was talking to this crowd and said "Why am I even talking to you at all?"

Another time, Peter asked about someone else and Jesus said ".. of what concern is that to you?"

And the one I still use a few times "Where is this promised presence of his?"

Years ago in the YPA articles, the WT was stressing these short term vocational courses because they weren't college and didn't take 4 years. They were 1-2 years, a marketable skill so you could finish quick, and they supposedly gave the flexibility needed for arranging part time work to support the ministry.

They promoted it as doing "meaningful work with your hands", trains you for life, builds character and so on. I never forgot that term though, as if to say that only manual labor is meaningful and it did throw shade at higher education.

But now with these production videos and letters asking for help, granted they do ask for experience in construction, HVAC, crane operators, etc. but they also ask for those who know law, comp. sci, engineering, nursing and so on. The letters always came across as hypocritical especially when the videos and letter requests highlight (as an "urgent need" no less) what they have been discouraging getting into for years. It's also contradictory when a few meetings the letter was read (either before or after) an experience of a young JW who turned down a practically free opportunity for schooling.

There used to be a term I heard a lot "computer support" that was usually for an office aide to make spreadsheets, type reports, do mail merge projects, data entry, and so on. It was a position mainly for college interns or temps.

How much of the computer support work of data entry, spreadsheets etc. been "replaced" by AI? What other "approach" would there be to get the "foot in the door" as it were?

I always read those words as people going on with their lives as the years go on. The payoff was supposed to be "the end" the divine second coming and the ones who took note would survive.

Well, some PIMIs have been taking note for years, putting so much on hold until after Armageddon. And after all this time, 2026, they see their worldly relatives, peers, or former schoolmates who over the years moved on to further schooling, great careers, fun "worldly"pursuits, nice relationships, have a family with children (even grandchildren) buying a good sized house or other nice residence, nice car, overseas vacations, set up their 401K/IRA etc. while PIMIs because they held off so much and have been in this spiritual routine/"hamster wheel" aren't in that great a position at the same age. They never came out ahead for "keeping on the watch".

It would have worked out had there been an "end" already, but as it is now, there is no payoff. And the PIMIs are playing catch up in life, no retirement plans for some, some bitter because they never got into much, stolen decades, seeing how their counterparts are doing, etc. smh

During processing, it's been noted other related memories and emotions also surface, more than previously anticipated. It can get tiring and you feel weak afterwards. Any thoughts on handling this full range?
