Shirley, I am so very sorry. Please remember that you have many friends that can truly relate to the pain you are experiencing right now. We're only a few keystrokes away...

I'm also grateful that J.C. has found some relief from pain. I'm grateful that we are hearing from some old friends that we haven't heard from in a while...like Pat and Bunny. After a week like I've had at work, I'm very grateful that today is Friday!!!

Do people in your area have Christmas lights/decorations up already? I was surprised to see how many people of my neighbors have up some of their decorations already. I never do any Christmas decorating before Thanksgiving is over. But...on the day after Thanksgiving, I'm always dragging everything down from the attic!!!

Moses Recently, while going through an airport during one of his many trips, the President encountered a man with long gray hair and beard, wearing a white robe and sandals, holding a staff. The President went up to the man and said, "Has anyone told you that you look like Moses?" The man didn't answer. He just kept staring straight ahead. The President said, "Moses!" in a loud voice. The man just stared ahead, never acknowledging the president. The President pulled a Secret Service agent aside and, pointing to the robed man asked him, "Am I crazy or does that man not look like Moses to you? The Secret Service agent looked at the man and agreed. "Well," said the President, "every time I say his name, he ignores me and stares straight ahead, refusing to speak. Watch!" Again the President yelled, "Moses!" and again the man ignored him. The Secret Service agent went up to the man in the white robe and whispered, "You look just like Moses. Are you Moses?" The man leaned over and whispered back, "Shhhh! Yes, I am Moses. The last time I talked to a bush, I spent 40 years wandering in the desert and ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire Middle East with no oil."

Happiness is accepting who you are and where you are and learning to love both without looking back.

I am so happy to hear this wonderful news!!! Like others, I can hardly belive how time has flown by. It seems like only yesterday that we were all excited about Gavin's arrival into this world! I know how excited you must be!!!

Kelly, what a wonderful idea for you and your family to surround this new baby with so much love!!! I know what you are going through, as Dennis wasn't with us to welcome our first grandchild into this big, beautiful world. Just try and focus on the happiness that a new baby brings and know that your mom is there with your family for this happy day! I will be saying prayers, asking God to help you be strong!

David, I am so very sorry for your loss.

I'm going to take a co-worker out for a drink after work. She's been going through a terrible personal ordeal and needs a friend to listen.

Since today is World Kindness Day, what will you do to be especially kind to someone today?

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?" "No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless woman told me. "Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" I asked. "No, I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive." "Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" I asked. "Are you NUTS!!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!" "Well," I sai d, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight." The homeless woman was shocked. "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting." I said, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine."

The one thing that pops to mind right now is soy nuts. I had blood work two weeks ago and found my cholesterol is very high. I have been drastically altering my diet. The doctor said just about anything soy will help, so Dick picked me up a big bag of soy nuts. They are awful....no taste...like eating wood chips...lol! The doc started me on Zetia for the cholesterol. Anyone ever used this drug? It works to block cholesterol in the stomach.

Are there any foods that you eat just for your helath?

Can You believe this lady was upset because these "heros" didn't get her pocketbook??? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071109/ap_ ... vTIoxH2ocA

I'll post two words that go together, you post last word along with new word: Example, House Full, Full Stomach, Stomach Ache, you get the idea. ICE CREAM

This makes me laugh to think about my first Thanksgiving with Dennis! We were living in Miami and it was my first Thanksgiving ever away from my mom. She was the world's best cook and the turkey was always her speciality. Well, I figured I was a fair cook and thought I could ace a turkey dinner...with one hand behind my back. Heck, we even invited company over for that first Thanksgiving! The turkey was absolutely beautiful and recieved lots of oohs and aahs...until Dennis carved it. I had taken giblets from one end of the bird, but left a bag in the other end...lol! I was so embarrassed! But...people still enjoyed the turkey anyway! Dennis never let a Thanksgiving pass without reminding me of that turkey. But, he always did the reminding in a very sweet kind of way. That little goof-up always made us remember our first Thanksgiving together. Now, when I cook a turkey, I hope he's watching me with that sweet little smile on his face!
