A Piece of the Puzzle


it is a wonder in life why we
have to question who one really is
why would one want to hide behind
a stone wall and not be who they are

when one does not know the other
who are we to judge and who is anyone
to question

it is not for i to question who one is
i believe in what one tells me until
that one raises questions and or doubts
and than i wonder and question
i then have to try to put the pieces
of the puzzle in order, glue will be needed
as the pieces don't always fit

i know when i hide from something
i question the reason, when i am me and
come forward there are no questions

one must always be who they are
at least one must try

in life one must never underestimate
a soul, as anyone is capable of anything

and when one gets defensive when
they are questioned, my intuition arises
as being defensive is not a answer
it only raises more questions

truth is the only way!

  1. Why do I kick out of being first? It reminds of the little kids who would line up at recess instead of playing with friends just so they could be first in line to get back into school. It didn't make sense then and it doesn't make sense now but here I am saying
    "First".

    Have a great day!

  6. "Truth is the only way". I agree wholeheartedly with you there. I believe so strongly in not being judgmental when I first meet someone. I really try not to be influenced by how they look or where they are from. If I catch the person in just one lie however, I find it hard to believe anything he/she says after that. I then become very judgmental and perhaps could be a little more understanding. They say everyone lies at one time or another. I just find it hard to trust anyone who has lied to me even once.

  7. Good Morning East Bay J - I am off to myspace to answer messages. I will be back in the nest when I am finished.

  8. Before I go I have one story. Many years ago my mother was walking down town by a Mcdonald's that had the reputation for being the meeting place of men who were not exactly labeled good citizens. They were poorly dressed, lacked jobs and were considered untrustworthy. My mom remembers being a little afraid to walk by them. Suddenly she lost her footing and fell and broke her arm. These scruffy looking men could have grabbed her purse and ran. Instead one called the ambulance while two others stayed with her and comforted her until the ambulance came. She never got their names or was able to thank them for their kindness but she always remembered them. You definitely "can't judge a book by its cover."
    Off to myspace.

    Good Morning - East Bay J, Mek and Jodi. Have a good one. I am off to do some errands. I will be back this afternoon.

  12. Morning Glories!

    Tinka first this morning! Congrats!

    I guess I am not processing well this morning or I am still in a hormone fog because my brain is not wrapping around Carols blog.

    I believe what people tell me until a question may arise.

    Some people are a puzzle but I don't assume they are trying to be misleading usually I assume they are just a private person or they have reasons that make them hold back. If it is an out right lie then I try to trace back and then wonder.

    Kgirl: I watched Oprah yesterday with Nancy and Thomas. I was very impressed with both of them! They will make wonderful parents, I have no doubt about this.

    It made me really think about the reality of our bodies and appearance. The light bulb moment for me was the fact that our bodies and outer self really is just our shell here on earth. Our true selves are the inner light or soul if you will.

    We may have a first physical attraction but what matters in the long run is the heart and soul connection. I am not talking just about love and partners but about our friends and family too.

    If we get passed gender and just look at people as human there are bigger things at work.

    I loved Thomas saying that wanting a child is not a Man or Woman want or issue but a human issue.

    Saying good morning to all the early owls!!!

    Will be in and out today. Darn ankle is still giving me hell!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Good morning LYNN D!!! I still get a chuckle from my slippers!!! I hope your ankle gets better.

    I better get in the shower - as MEK says....the real world is calling!!!

    I will pop back in later. :P

  14. Great blog Carol, I love how your words flow together.

    My sentences and thoughts always come out choppy.

    I love how you express yourself!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Carol,
    Your blog is a wonderful one. I agree with you whole heartedly. I feel that all people should accept others and try not be judgemental. I feel that a true friend would never ask another friend to take sides in any bickering amongst their shared friends. It always saddens me when friends find it necessary to gossip behind my back over nonsense issues. I feel that if a person makes a small mistake and then asks for forgiveness that we should forgive. I was not raised to hold grudges or have hatred in my heart.To do so would make my life miserable and filled full of stress, so I opt out of negativity in my daily life as much as possible and unnecessary drama. I dream of a world of peace, acceptance, love and tolerance towards all.
    ****MY PARENTS ARE CELEBRATING THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW!!!!!!****
    I am in a rush to meet up with my sister so that we can get the cake and flowers ordered.
    Have a wonderful day in the nest.

    I too am in a rush and I think I catch the drift of the blog. My intentions were to add to it with no one in mind. Just thoughts.

  17. Good morning (early afternoon for me) Tinkatia, Ronniegirl, EBJ, Mek, Jodi and Lynn d and all who join us afterwards.

    Congrats Tinka on being first!

    Carol great blog. Very deep. I'm going to take something for these damn cramp and come back later with some thoughts and chocolate...lots and lots of chocolate!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I am working on just 4 hours sleep here and I think I switched from truth to "true friends.
    SHIRLEY
    Did you say chocolates!?!? :0)

    ReplyDelete
  19. That should have been cramps not cramp because unfortunately there is more than one!
    Yes Dreama I did say chocolate, and lots of it, but not till later.

    Happy 50th Aniversary to your parents!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Carol, Great blog, love all the words in it, especially "anyone is capable of anything" - so true. I believe everyone to a fault, but if I catch them in a hurtful lie, I give such a wide berth. I just believe people when they show me who they are. Carol, when I get defensive I know I have to reflect on what made me feel that way. Am I rambling? This blog just hit so many spots with me. Thank you.

    Congrats on first, Tinkatia!!

    Good morning owls, all of you - to lazy to name.

    Lynn D, hope your ankle feels better.

    Dreama, wishing your parents a happy 50th anniversary, WOOT!

  21. Good Morning~ (that just pained me to say that!...i wanna crawl back into bed)

    Carol~ great blog~ The other night at work, I was telling a friend about someone here in the nest. When I was done, she looked at me and said, "And you believe all that?" I looked at her like she was on crack! It never occurred to me not to! I don't care if your real name is something else....if you live "there" instead of "here".....after a while, I can tell what kind of person you are from the WAY you write, not so much from the things you write. Did that even make sense? :|

    kgrl~ I went to the link you gave me last night.....LOVED it! (not a fan of Oprah, so kinda glad I got to read it instead!) Those two are so freaking cute.....just makes your heart break for them and all they will have to go thru~ I hope they have an easy time of it~ I didn't make it back into the nest....we got freaking busy at work....dang those psgrs!!!! :)

    Tinka~ congrats on first...it's always a thrill~

    Shirley~ go freaking get that damn chocolate NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! :)~

  22. Tina I have found when I tell family or friends about this blog, they are concerned and skeptical about the type of people who are on it. It's really too bad that we have come to the point that the first reaction is that no one is really who they say they are. I guess they've heard too many stories about predators, etc., on the internet. This is such a safe place and everyone is so very "normal" whatever that means. Just kind hearted, good humored, supportive folks in this nest. I showed some of it to my mom while I was visiting, so she now thinks it's great that I have cyber friends.

    Lying really goes against the grain for me. I don't see the point, really. I want to be liked or loved for the real me, not some fabricated version.

  23. Wow the nest is slow today! I hope everyone is out having some fun!

    Popping back in and reading comments. I find it interesting what all of us have picked up or out of Carols blog.

    Justlin and Tina: I have people who think I am crazy for blogging with you guys too. Like you said I read what people post and feel the content. Why should I not believe until you make me doubt?

    Any who Mr. Lynn D took today off so we are going out to lunch and then to see a movie. Tina we are seeing my boyfriends new one! You know George! LOL

    Lets see if I can make it through the movie without an ankle spasm. They come on so fast and sharp sometimes I gasp when it happens. People might think we are doing other things in the dark if one hits! LOL

    Ok off to load up on advil!

    ReplyDelete
  24. OMG LynnD~ This is what I read when I read your post:

    "we are going out to lunch and then to see a movie. Tina we are seeing my boyfriend's new one! You know George!

    Lets see if I can make it through the movie without an orgasm. They come on so fast and sharp sometimes I gasp when it happens. People might think we are doing other things in the dark if one hits!"

    omg~ and honey.....he's MY boyfriend~ :)

    Just_Lin and LynnD~ I just tell people they don't know what they are missing~ Another co-worker had been making fun of me until last week. She started conversing w/one cyber friend (thru me) and totally fell in love with her~ Last night, she told me she'll never say another negative word again~ :D

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm breaking for lunch -

    wow - it is slow in the nest day

    LOL - K'girl - Eighteen - I didn't see that when I hit TWENTY.. I was running out and it was just THERE!!

    Went to MY store - used my two coupons!! :-)

    Now - I'm off to rest !!
    hugs..

  26. HI my little owls - I am just home for 20 minutes. I took my 'fur-babies' to have their teeth cleaned and I have to go back and get them shortly. Just wanted to say "Good Afternoon" to those who arrived after I left this morning.

    Lynn - I hope you don't get an ankle spasm. It would be a shame to have people thinking you were having 'fun' when your weren't. LOL

    Tina - As soon as I get back with my babies I am crawling into bed for a nap. There are black clouds overhead, a good day for a nap rather than a walk.

    Just Lin - I too have family and friends who worry about me being on-line with what they call 'strangers'. They think when I meet one of us for the first time it should be in a neutral place and not in someone's home. I think that's so funny because I feel we are all friends.

    OH dear I am late now.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow! Great food for thought, Carol. And there's a related thread going on over in Rossland today, too. Check out what Gardnergirl wrote... very insightful!

    I have strong opinions about misrepresenting oneself in cyberspace! I don't do it, and am completely mystified at what motivates people to do it. Yet, we saw it all the time on Ross's blog, people hiding behind the opportunities for anonymity, and the peculiar "this isn't happening in my backyard" quality of online social interaction, to mislead, exploit, or be cruel to others.

    While I use a made-up handle here in the nest, that's the extent of my concealment. What you see is what you get. And until proven otherwise, I feel totally comfortable that everybody in here is the same. Behind our amusing monikers are real people living real lives and really communicating about them.

  28. Hey Whabby, Tina, Just Lin, Lynn D and Tinka..

    Heck, I have met SO many blog buddies that everyone knows that with me - what you read is what you see!!!

  29. I am back with my 'babies' with shiny teeth. I am off for a nap. Bear and Mek, I can't wait to meet either or both of you. This summer I hope.

  30. Good Afternoon! My friends and family (some of them) just shake their head when I am talking about someone and then mention they are from the blog. The should all be used to be by now as some of you know that I met my husband online. You should have seen their faces when I used to talk about Ross..and then tell him how I knew him!! lol

    A year after my previous husband passed away, I decided I wanted to go out again. Blind dates...not so fun so I tried the internet. I will say that I met some "different" people but overall I would recommend it. It took another year before I met Mr Dianne and we married a year after that time. Some of the people I met are still friends of mine. You weed through some of the people as you do in every day life. No, everyone wasn't truthful and I chose not to be aquainted with those people I always give the benefit of the doubt until a reason shows different. I am myself so much that sometimes I think I should pull back a little!!

    TINA: I finally get online last night and you decide to work all night. What is wrong with that picture? I will try and give you notice next time so you can tell your boss you might have long breaks!

    MEK; 54 here and sunny--perfect weather for our first game!

  31. Can someone walk me through (again) how you change your picture?

  32. Dianne Just click on your own picture. Then click on Edit Profile. Scroll down to picture area and change it. Then go to bottom of the page and save it.

  33. LYNND: No gasping in the movies or all those Whopper rumors will be back in town!!! What movie are you going to see? We are going tomorrow night..poker night for the guys and dinner/movie night for the girls.

    I meant to tell you Bon Jovi fans that my daughter went to his concert Monday night here in Denver and Chris Daughrty opened for him. She said it was a great concert and then he came out in Elways old #7 jersey as they are friends and own football teams (did anyone ever see when the two of them were making a guest appearance on Vegas?) Bon Jovi was asking for aLl of you!!

    My blog today was just my thoughts on how ppl hide behind themselves, I was blogging about cyber space as well as the "real world". I have been blogging for well over 3yrs and It amazes me how you really don't know some as you may think you do.

    The "real world" is also the same for me, dealing with clients on a daily basis. I am always surprised by some of their reactions. I think at times I know them so well, and then they do something that just throws me for a loop!

    Family as well, can surprise me at times. My brother has surprised me all my life, he is not who I thought he once was!

    You said:
    "Carol, when I get defensive I know I have to reflect on what made me feel that way."

    You are correct, there are always reasons why one will go into defensive mode, and when one does I have to reflect why....

    ReplyDelete
  35. As far a me, I am who you all know I am, Yes I used a pseudo on other blogs. However whatever I posted was how I was truly feeling! And if anyone asked my "real"name I would gladly tell them.

    There are several things that all don't know about me. I don't think there is a way you can. There is some much of me in my 47yrs, that I think it would be impossible for a cyber world to know it all...

    I don't hide anything, however the words I type can never cover the whole me...

  43. Just checking in. Have a lot of owls made plans to be away for the weekend? The nest seems quiet today. My house is quiet today. Maybe the whole world is I don't know. My little world is pretty small.

  51. Good Evening Feathered Friends!

    I have finally gotten a chance to nest a while here! And I am happy to be here.

    I haven't opened the Ross Blog in months, so I have no idea what happened. But I can relate to the anonymity and falsehoods from my past at another blog site. I made "friends" that turned out to be nothing like they portrayed. Not only were they liars, they ended up being meanies. And spread lies and rumors about many people. All under the guise of friendship. Blech!

    I am just me...Maureen. I am a working class gal. I am a college graduate and I worked as a Retail Manager for most of my adult life. And now, I am struggling with the effects of the economy. I had lost my last job and it was unemployed for over 7 months. I never tought that would or could happen to me. But alas, it did. I am hoping to take on a second job, just to make ends meet. I love my family. I have a huge extended family and we not only love each other, we like each other (well, most of them anyhow!!). I have lived in 4 states and I loved to travel. I regret that I never married and I regret even more that I never had children. I have to admit, the opportunities I had for marriage were to the totally wrong people, so in the long run, I count my blessings I didn't take the plunge. I like older rock music...and Clay Aiken!! I watch too much tv! I am particularly fond of American Idol, Brother's and Sister's, D.H, E.R and General Hospital. I loved the shows on HGTV and FOODTV, Lifetime and TLC, but I have given up my cable. I love to chat on the phone!I am going thru withdrawls...my cell phone is broken! I make greeting cards, but don't scrapbook. I like to do crosswords, freecell and spider solitaire. I collect piggies...mostly little glass ones, but I have accumulated others as well. Hence my pig avatars! I hate cleaning, but love to cook (not bake...thankfully Shirley is a baker!)I am too damn lazy about exercizing! And I should be doing certain exercises the Physical Therapist prescribed..."should" being the operative word! I am a trusting person...maybe naive. I see the good in people until it smacks me in the face! Then I admit...I have a hard time forgiving and forgetting. Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me. I'm sure you all remember the F.M fiasco of the summer!! I cherish my friends. The ones in my real world and the ones I have made, but yet to meet. I hate saying "real world" because it sounds like this is a fake me or world...but it isn't. I guess I should refer to them as my non-cyber friends. Friends are friends...and I love all of them.

    So, in one of my infamous novels, you have me, just chubby old me! Ok, not chubby...FAT!

    CAROL...thanks for continually bringing us an opportunity to think, reveal ourselves and share with each other. And for the Owl's Nest! You rock!

    DREAMA...Happy 50th to your parents!

    ITEACH...can I still send you postcards and beanie babies? Please message me with the address of your school.

    LYNN...I hope you enjoyed your nookie-nookie at the movies! I have heard a lot of names for it, but "ankle spasm" is a new one :)

    SHIRLEY...so glad you are here! I hope this means that other then the cramps, you feel better.

    I can't mention all of you that posted before me, or this would be even longer!! But I am "WAVING WILDY" to all of you! ♥

    ReplyDelete
  52. OH...and regarding posting under fake names...I admit there were a few times when a certain shuttle driver was a little too tedious, I posted a few not so nice posts to him! And I didn't post as moweenie! Ooopsies! It was a momentary lapse!

    And I had considered changing my moniker from moweenie, and dear WHABBY talked me out of it! I'm glad he did that!

    really gotta go and make dinner.

  59. Thanks for the congrats for my parents anniversary. My parents have been tricked. They think my sister and I both have to work tomorrow. They think that the little cookies and cards were the extent of their big day.
    We chose a chocolate cake with white butter creme frosting. The cake is decorated with pink, white and golden tipped silk flowers that splash across one entire corner with a standing number 50.
    Trying to choose a cake when you have a sugar craving and they all look so delicious was very hard.
    My sister and I decided on two floral arrangements.
    Now I am pooped. Time to rest.

  60. Knock! Knock! Knock!

  61. Maureen - You are in a happy mood today. It's contagious as I read your blog. I for one have been privileged to get to know you in Cyber space. After today's blog I really feel I know you Some day you and I are going to share a real cup of tea. I love your new name for ankle spasm. It should be the quote of the day.

  88. Poor Ben, I think he is always left out!!
    :-)

    ReplyDelete
  89. I didn't scroll up. I knew that Doctor was Dr_Dan. One night he scared the pee out of me in chat. He was alone in his dorm room and all of the students had left for a vacation break. He said that he heard movement outside of his door and he went to go check. Well, he never returned and there were no monitors in chat. I became worried. One of his friends who had his cell # agreed to call him. He was fine. Geez! Boys will be boys. My nephew is 24 and does similar things.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Dreama,
    LOL, I remember that. If I'm not mistaken.. it was a lady friend of mine. So it was a toss up.. Ross Chat or.. lady friend. Obviously you know what won. ;)

    LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Hi everyone!

    I can't stay, I'm busy gorging on Shirley's chocolates. Thank you Shirley! yum yum.

    Doctor, are you a real doctor or just play one on the computer? haha.

    I have met several blog buddies too and amazingly, they were all normal. I was very nervous about meeting iternet people, and my husband did not want me to go to the BABB.

    But, my expectations were far exceeded.

    It's kind of funny, cause now when I'm sitting here reading the blog and giggling, my huz will say "oh you must be reading the blog".

    He is even open to me hosing the next BABB in Aug.

    Dreama, congrats to your parents! Mine celebrated their 50th the year before last. That's a longggg time.

    I didn't get to see the Orpah show yesterday. To me, a baby is lucky to have 2 loving parents, no matter if they are male, female, or one of each.

    I worked in the nicu for many years, and saw many couples (male/female) who were terrible parents.

    I'm so happy for Thomas and Nancy, I wish them a life of happiness and love with their baby.

    Did they say what the baby's name will be?

    Have a nice weekend everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  92. EBJ Are you going to "hose" us or "host" us. LOL Sorry, couldn't resist pointing that out.

    Stick around Doctor, with everyone eating all this chocolate, we may be needing your services. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  93. Hi Everyone...SHIRLEY: Thank you so much for all the chocolate..I don't which one to pick from and also thanks for bringing back your cheerful sun..as I told you..I can't help but smile when I look at it!!

    MEK: Oh boy, that game was not too great. I always want a team to win the home opener at least. Wear your Rockies shirt proud around those Diamondback fans this weekend!

    MO: I am so glad you are enjoying your new job. Does it look like it will be a full time position? You did a great description of yourself..I feel like we have been friends for years!

    ReplyDelete
  94. I watched G.W. It was great as always. You chocoholics got me going and I have been eating icy squares for the last hour. I think they were left over from Christmas but they were still good. Now I wish I hadn't eaten them. I don't usually eat anything at six o'clock but Shirley's list was so tempting. No Shirley my dear I am not blaming you. I should have more will power.
    Nice to see you Dr. Dan. Do you have myspace?

    ReplyDelete
  95. Happy 50th to Dreama's parents! Have fun tomorrow.

    JUSTLIN: You were the topic at dinner tonight. I was telling my husband all about your experience these last couple of weeks. I hope it was okay but I even told him about Custard and the "L" word. He won't tell anyone! I didn't tell him about me trying to go meet him first...I forgot that part! It is all such a nice story to tell someone.

    TINKA: I don't want to be mean but you have whip cream all over this place. You have to aim when you are squirting it out. It looks like you had a food fight! Better bring in your doggies for clean up duty!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Slow response on my end. Phone rang.
    LOL, Dan. I can't remember which one of the girls told me that they'd call you. Adrigltz? I can't remember and I know I mispelled that.
    EBJ
    thank you.
    Just_Lin
    Did Joey take over your body. That was funny considering today's TOTD. EBJ is so kind and I think she will host. I on the other hand might hose. I have lousy hose aim, but that is a different day and a different blog. I don't have good strength in my left elbow since I fell down. The Doc said I jammed it. What ever. It heals slow. :(
    Dang it. Phone again.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Tinka - Ghost Whisper just finished here - was a VERY good show tonight..

    Dianne - I ALWAYS wear my Favorite sports teams shirts proudly!!
    :-)

    ReplyDelete
  98. Dianne I knew I shouldn't have got a Mac with a camera. I didn't think anyone could see the whipped cream. You can probably see how fat I feel after all that chocolate.

    Mek - I have digital cable so I can see G.W. on Eastern time out of Detroit. I taped it and then watched it so that I could skim through the ads. It sure is better on DVD. That is what I got used to because of the lovely early birthday present Zona sent me. (Season 2). Now I find the commercials really kill the mood. Doesn't my cyber daughter spoil me? She is such a dear. She must be sleeping tonight. I haven't heard from her.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Goooood Eveeeennnning Everyone! Been a busy day here and I just got done watching GHOST WHISPERER!! Finally a new one! I haven't read the comments yet though.

    CPGEM: I am me. I don't think I could fake what a goof ball I am if I tried. ;)

    Off to read the posts now!!

    ReplyDelete
  100. Dreama That is so lovely that your parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. You don't hear of that too often.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Just Lin, I really need to proof read my posts! Geez. I spelled OPRAH wrong too.

    I will be HOSTING hahahaha!!!

    I'll blame it on the chocolate! :)

  102. Dreama, I thought hosing someone was a sexual term lol.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Those of you on the west coast MUST watch the Night Time Price is right!! OMG!!!!!! and we are only 20 minutes into...

    ReplyDelete
  104. ZonaBaby - I called your name and you appeared. Did you have a good sleep. I loved GW tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  105. EBJ I'd really like to come to the BABB as long as you're "hosting". LOL

    ReplyDelete
  106. Dianne Of course it's okay to tell Mr. Dianne about Custard and I. I do think you'd feel so much better, though, if you confessed to him that you were trying to intercept Custard so you could thoroughly "check him out".

    ReplyDelete
  107. Zona - I waiting for you to see me so I can say "Good Night" and go to bed. Where did you go?

    ReplyDelete
  108. zona
    I was just going to myspace msg you!
    Just to check to see if you were ok..

    And here you are...

    happy blue

  111. I just burnt a big batch of cookies.

    Would anyone like one?

    ReplyDelete
  112. night.owls.sb - Yes she must be reading the comments. I can't stay up any longer. Would you say "Good Night" to her for me? I am going to watch a movie. I think I will watch "Just Like Heaven" tonight. I love Reese Witherspoon.

    Good Night sweet feathery owls everywhere. May God keep you all safe in the nest tonight. Love, Tinka

    I can figure that one out um, I think. My hose that gives me all the problems just shoots water. I never could figure out the tossed salad thing that Joey talked about. Oh, I better shut up. I try my best to stay PG rated.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Iteach - I will take a couple to bed if I may. My 'babies' will clean up the crumbs.

  117. I just uploaded a clown. I'm off to see a certain doctor. I hope I don't get kicked out of chat. Either people will think I'm a lunatic in the next half hour or they'll laugh their arses off.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Dreama, I didn't know what "tossed salad" meant either. Joey kindly sent me the Wikipedia explanation.

    Nite Tinka, sweet dreams.

    JL I will be hosting, for sure!

    Iteach I think my huz would eat a slightly burned cookie if you have one!

    MO: I triple loved your post. :)

    EBJ: Mr. Z knows not to bother me when I'm blogging and laughing!

    JODI: 11!!! LOL!

    LYNND: I think everyone has doors they lock to certain aspects of their personalities just to protet their hearts.
    How was the movie? The trailer looked terrific..was MY George any good? And I hope your ankle is doing better. :)

    SHIRLEY: Is there any chocolate left in your town?? Dang girl!! ;)

    TINA: Can you tell that I'm a goof?? ;)

    WHHABBEAR: When I met you, you were exactly the same person I had been writing to these last seven months.

    MEK: And so were you..both of you are absolutely wonderful.

    DIANNE: I have left my Wizard Of Oz collection to you!

    Waving to RGIRL, ITEACH, KGRL, GRANDMA MOSES, J/LIN. Sure hope I didn't miss anyone!

    Hoping GOLDIE feels better and that VIG isn't out riding her bike in the rain.

    Gotta make dinner...TINKA I'll be there in half an hour!!

    :O)

    ReplyDelete
  128. Speaking of poop, my three year old has finally started wearing underwear.

    However, I would like to get a dog soon, so I shouldn't be celebrating.

    If we get a dog I will still be cleaning up poop!

    ReplyDelete
  129. MEK, I think we are finally thawing. Tomorrow it is suppose to be 60 here.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Dang...WHABBEAR WHABBEAR WHABBEAR! Maybe if I practice I'll spell it right. ;)

    CPGEM: I saw your post above mine, I am gonna cook fast and eat faster to try and catch TINKA before she falls asleep. I hope I make it.

    TINKA: If I don't, SWEET DREAMS!! Love you!!

    ReplyDelete
  131. Zona - I was over on myspace talking to VIG. She is home and getting into her own cozy bed. She will write you tomorrow. If you e-mail me I might see it before the morning. I am going to bed now but I am usually up in a couple of hours to put the doggies out. Good Night my dear. " I Love You Forever."

    K'girl - congrats on winning your favorite march..

    Iteach- i think your high is our nightly low!!

    ReplyDelete
  136. MEK: I am like you..wearing my sport team shirts proudly and it hs caused some discussion in other states when you wear the Bronco shirt. My husband usually always gets a comment out of town if he is wearing a shirt or hat for the Broncos. I have the news on now and they are not being very supportive of todays game...gosh, it's only the start of the season!!

    ZONA: Thanks for leaving me your Wizard of Oz collection but that is a heck of a way to get it!! I don't want to see it under those conditions PLUS you are much younger than me so I will be going when I am 100 and you will still have 11 years left!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  140. I just left chat as a clown. Rats. though my idea wasn't original...but unexpected.

    ReplyDelete
  141. For those who have no idea why I am a clown..it is Doctor Dan's fake fear.
    I'm going to bed now. I'm too old to play for this long. I'm pooped.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Just_Lin
    It was the scariest clown I could find. Doctor Dan held out longer than me. I couldn't stand looking at myself any more.
    Off to bed now for real!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Tina Good evening. Are you at work?

    ReplyDelete
  144. Tina I've been meaning to ask you, what do you do at work so late at night?

    ReplyDelete
  145. J/L: You know...I have often wondered what Tina did so late myself. Are people calling for reservations at 1AM...I wonder if she "really" works for Delta reservaions???

    ReplyDelete
  146. Or is she just a "working girl"?

    ReplyDelete
  147. Hi Zona! Did you have a nice dinner?

    ReplyDelete
  148. Did we get a new Doctor?? I musta missed him!
