HOW THE FIGHT STARTED


I rear-ended a car this morning. So there we are alongside the road
And  slowly the driver gets out of the car. . . and you know how you
just-get-sooo-stressed and life-stuff seems to get funny?

Yeah, well, I could NOT believe it . He was a DWARF!

He storms over to my car, looks up at me and says, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!'
So, I look down at him and say, 'Well, then which one are you?'

. . . and that's when the fight started .

 .

 Dealing with a bit of stuff at the moment - DH's Grandmother fell a second time and this time did much more damage than just a bone chip in her knee - this time she broke her hip. Just this year she has shown the very obvious signs of the ostioperosis that she has, and I'm certain it has played a great part in what has been happening with her. She had surgery for her hip, and will be recovering for a week or more, so I understand. I know that not being able to be mobile will frustrate her more than any actual injury. She is a "go-er" someone who is always going, going, going. She is in her 80's and never sits still - it's never been in her nature to do so. I'm praying that she will be able to heal fairly quickly, and be able to get around again. No, I don't expect it to be exactly the same, but I surely hate to see her spirits set back if she can't get around at all. - She is "very feisty" as her doctor put it, and I think she'll do fine. Her family is also helping out, but it has been -interesting- for them to say the least, being that her, being "very fiesty", is something they would probably all say, is an understatement.
 On other fronts, I find I have to be so careful how I word things - I try to express how I feel or what my opinions are, but I do get very passionate and end up often times coming across differently than I intend to. A more recent example would be in dealing with a situation that arose at our child's school. - It was dealt with in a way in which I think I'm satisfied, but in some way, I know it would have been dealt with in an entirely different manner if it had taken place years ago. I guess I'm old fashioned in some sences, and I myself would have handled things a bit differently. - That said, I do think that it was handled in the best way they were able to. - and I'm glad I didn't express myself immediately, and end up with my foot in my mouth, so to speak. :/

 - I guess that's it for today - I hope everyone out there in shoutpostland is doing well in their own little coerner of the world.
 MMQC :)

  .

 Seems things happen all at once - and just when you think you've got things handled - you don't -
 - Two Birthday's in my family, five in DH's and there are some realatives coming in from out of town
- one is staying with us. - and the farm opens tomorrow for it's 2008 season, and The E.F. Weekend will be the second weekend in April this year - and DH's Grandmother just fell last week and can not get around - DH and SIL#1 and FIL are over there fixing a tub and shower oh her first floor, that had to totally be ripped out, and a new shower stall, with a seat, fitted into the space - but not before having to rip out the old floor and put in a new one that is level. Meanwhile this house has to be cleaned up - stuff packed away - to get ready for our guests and a party.
 Tooooo much to do all at once if you ask me! WHEW!

Phshhhhyyyeahhhhh - riiiight!

 Well - as they say - "it comes in threes" - yes, I have another funeral to go to.
The third one this month of January. This time it is is the dear mother of my old youth group leader
 I will go this evening to the viewing, and possibly tomorrow to the service.
 I want to be there for them, as they have also been there for me, and the family are very dear friends.
 Seems like the older you get, the more people you know, die.

 well - I have another funeral to go to today - and it's still only January......yeah.....not looking forward to going, and would rather not go at all - but I know I should go, and I should also be there for another family member (a member of their family, is who has passed away).
 Maybe I'll just stay for the service itself that is being held at the church, and skip the graveside part and the reception afterwards - I went to the afternoon "viewing" yesterday, and there's only so much I can handle.  So,    I guess I'll finish getting ready, and go.
 two funerals, and this year has just begun...not sure I'm looking forward to this coming year or not....anybody's guess, what's in store. :/

 well - I did it - I joined an excercise place - and I actually went! Woooo- hooooo!
Hopefully I can stay consistant with this - we'll see.
 and yet another funeral to attend tomorrow, and it lands on the exact day that my friend passed away just last year.
 - Gee, I was hoping to get throuh January without any losses....oh well.
 - Hangin-in

 Well, first day back to school for my kiddo - and hubby has gone back to work today too - House feels so empty, esp. after having them both home for so long over the Christmas and New Years holidays. full house - now an empty house. There's lots for me to do, but I don't feel like doing it. I miss the hustle and bustle - too quiet here. ...  Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things by the end of the week. - Have a party to attend too, this weekend. Older kiddo and their fiance' have just graduated from college - a party for both together is planned - kinda a precusour to their wedding in the fall. -
 Computer had a glitch the other day and had to re-install - not sure if the phone/call-waiting feature is still up and running or not - have to check that. - guess I shouldn't stay on too long in the meantime just in case.
 well - so - back to the grind I guess - (yay) - blah! - could have used one more day off to recoupe...

 Not quite a year, - but you are not here, for the first time, a Christmas wishing that you were still near
 Gone in a heartbeat - gone too soon,
 missed is your laughter, your smiles your cheer,
 I don't know that I can make it through Christmas this year.
 A part of our family, a dear one so missed,
 it's just not the same at all
 I wrap the gifts - can barely get the tree trimmed
 I want so badly to pick up the phone and call
 I wish you were here, it's just not the same,

 I think I'll skip Christmas this year...

my candle for tj and all the children who have passed on - we remember them and honor them tonight

   *Please see my previous post*

It would be nice if we all posted a candle :)

Worldwide Candle Lighting

As we reach out to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inward begins to flow outward and both are helped to heal. 

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Held annually the second Sunday in December, this year December 9, The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from any cause. As candles are lit at 7 p.m. local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor children in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural, religious, and political boundaries.

The Worldwide Candle Lighting is a gift from The Compassionate Friends to the bereavement community allowing us all to join together in unity to remember and honor the memories of all children so they may never be forgotten.

Believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the Worldwide Candle Lighting creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes as families gather in quiet remembrance of special children to always be remembered.

 *Thank you to "LadyG" for this post*

         A precious gift in one so small
 you came into our lives and touched us all

      You showed us love and bravery,

 you showed us what we should strive to be.

             Full of love, full of life,

     leave behind bitterness and strife.

    And when you get your wings of gold,

         your story will again be told.

     To all those who will remember you,

   you gave a gift, though you never knew.

         We will carry you with us

                 all our days,

    untill we see you again someday.

  We will miss you dearly as days go by,

 we will think of you often...and sometimes cry.

        But we will also laugh and sing,

     for into our lives such joy you bring!

       And when we meet at last again,

      we will rejoice again, Amen! Amen!

Thank you TJ - and thank you Shante' for sharing your precious baby boy with all of us..........


         

Hello all...

I haven't posted here in quite a while...mainly due to having truble posting on this site.
 Things are pretty good in my neck of the woods. We're starting to gear up for Christmas, and I am actually almost done with my Christmas shopping! (YAY!) - Of couse this year - especially this holiday season comeing up, will be bitter-sweet. I miss my friend who passed away last January already ..and kinda dread the actual Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day too...I can still see heropening up her presents as we were all gathered together to celebrate..and her pitching in to help and get the house all ready for family to visit....we had gotten closer, and she truly had become a sister.

hmmm......hope my next post is a little happier

and not the good kind unfortunately...... Just needed to write today ...
I found this site, (shoutpost), about a year ago. I've used it as a way to "talk" about things when I needed to vent, cry, or just "talk out loud", so to speak  - My father went through heart bypass surgery, (He is doing fine thank The Lord),  my hubby's Aunt passed away from lung cancer, our nieghbor lost her daughter to cervical cancer, a dear friend's father passed from cancer, I had some surgery, and in January of this year (2007), a very close friend, (like a sister), suddenly passed away too. later in this year, my hubby's Aunt's family came here to have a memorial service for his Aunt, (they stayed with us during that time), and then my nieghbor had a memorial/dedication service for her daughter, where she dedicated a bench, ( at our local beach/park), in her daughter's name, with a plaque on it. ( I posted about that here on shoutpost just recently), - also this is the month when my Aunt passed a few years ago, - also suddenly, we're not sure why, - and just today I found out that a young boy, ( just turned 16), who I found out about through friends, sending me a prayer chain request for him, passed away just yesterday. 
 I guess all of this has me in a slump - just feeling kinda quiet and meloncoly - it's been a tough year...........  

................................thanks to all the kind words from all the nice folks here at shoutpost - thanks for "listening" :)

 Terri got her wings........

 Some of you might remember that I posted previously about my nieghbor's daughter passing away last year from cervical cancer.

  Well today is the one year anniversary of her "going home" and getting her wings.

 Her mother is dedicating a new bench today, with a plaque on it, at our nieghborhood beach. It is perfect, and has he most beautiful view.

 Her mother - and all of us who love her, - will finally have a place where we can go when we are thinking about her.  (no, there is no burial plot - a long, unpleasent story)

 We will be celebrating Terri's life and her unwaivering faith today

 Her mother finally has a sence of peace

                                                                   
 Well,had the lap-top from hell fixed  - again - seems to be working again - (so far) - as well as Shoutpost too....I'll have to see how adding an avatar goes! ;)

It's been awhile........no, I'm not going to sing..........(WHEW!), although, now that song is running through my mind!
Thought I'd try to post an avatar, since that and my msgs haven't been working here on this site recently, so I have't poted anythng recently...so here it goes............

hmmmmmmm guess not! :P

 Well, as far as I can tell, I still can't get to my messages - If you have left me one, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you by now, and normally I would have, but I can't even get to them to see them right now. - BUT - I CA get to my comments!
Sooooooooooo...........instead you can leave a message or what wold actually technically considered a "comment" - directly in my blog post, or on my profile page. - I can comment/reply in yur blog post or on your profile page - Just let me know what you prefer. :)

 Hopefully Shoutpost will have it's message glitches fixed soon!

Take Care all, have a great day, and happy blogging! :D

 Well after reading Barnabus' post - Iwent and made myself a 'smore! And it was GOOOD! ....... And now I'm having twizzlers - See what happens?!!?!?

 Ok, who's idea was it to be awake already?? I agree with Cookie, I wanna go back to bed too! Two words - SNOOZE BUTTON! (Ugh!)
 - And the lap=top from hell seems to be working, although the way this "tab" system is set up, it's driving me crazy, and of course since the lap-top is now working, and I want to post an avatar, - you guessed it - Photobucet is down for maintanence ............no words.....just, no words...........

 Oh yeah.......................MORNIN'!

  A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2,000 sq foot house 4 inches deep.
  If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with  roller blades, 
they can ignite.     

A 3-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

  If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong
 enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman  cape. 
It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20X20 foot room.

You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.

 Hey! I gota much needed nap today too! WHEW!

    - And for those of you also in need of a good nap, but are having some trouble catching those "Z's" - Here's a little ditty to help you with your slumber - courtesy of Ernie from Sesame Street!  :)

 "Dance Myself To Sleep"
- As sung by Ernie of Sesame Street -
( - comments by Bert, as his entire bed is lifted up by "The Boogie Woogie Sheep, and carried outside! )

 SWEET DREAMS!

:)

     Well, Imanaged to get down to the farm today - after I started out, I saw dark clouds on the horizon....sure enough I ended up in a rainstorm, and thought about Bishop's Fantasy's white knuckle adventure that she blogged about earlier, as I too ended up following along behind a large white truck, being able to see nothing else, and there being no place to pull over and wait it out!

 - Got there safe and sound, and even though the farm had closed for the day, (of course), - I was able to get in and work on the mural some more before the big 52nd Birthday event to honour The E. F., this weekend. (YAY!) - I don't have a digital camera, so the pics will have to come after this weekend (hopefully!). 

 I was able to finish the painting of The Merry Miller's house, and add The Wishing Well, (one of the newest recovered peices), and to add a little "landscaping", including the pond and stream that are connected with The Merry Miller's House.

 I feel like I got something done today, but I still have alot more to do - another stone to finish painting a Castle on, and  some hands and feet for The Dish and The Spoon, to cut out of syrophome, that will later be fiberglassed, and attached to the figures as they are being restored.

:)

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a running  competition.       

                   
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants...

The race began...

    
No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"

"They will NEVER make it to the top."

"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

       
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one...

Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher...

The crowd continued to yell,

"It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up...

But ONE continued higher and higher and higher...

This one wouldn't give up!

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

Always think:

God and I can do this!

 Didn't get to the farm like had planned to today, to get things worked on for this weekend's event - but I did get some painting done here today - did alot of small detail - my eyes are starting to cross! -  no pics of anything yet - have to work on that! - Well it will be more painting tomorrow and back up to the farm later in the week - drop things off that I've finished, and work on things like the mural - kinda hard to work on that here! ;) - hubby got The Spoon handle made and fitted onto the bowl part of The Spoon - ( from Dish and Spoon nursery ryhme) - Have to take that back tothe farm and prime it and paint it and have the face painted on to it - then it gets attached to the board along with The Dish. Lots to do before the big weekend!

:)

Well saw this on the news - had a hard time finding anything about it online - but finally found an article that has the pic -

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/08/06/michael-vick-chew-toy-the-only-thing-you-can-still-buy-with-vic/

 Well the last few days did me in - going through the emotions of the memorial service and a HUGE lack of sleep  (up til 4am everynight) - it finally all cought up with me - I had a migraine the entire day and night yesterday. UGH! I hate them and wouldn't wish them on anyone, but at least it wasn't quite as bad as they can, and have, gotten before. - But I lost an entire day. Hate it when that happens too. I have alot of work ahead of me, with getting ready for The E. F. Birthday event, Aug. 11th and 12th - lots of painting painting and more painting to do - and I need to get back over to the farm before that weekend, and get some more painting done on the mural too -*sigh*  - of course it ususally gets like this every year - pretty hectic,  but hey, it's all for a good cause! (Just hope I can get everything done that I want to get done before the deadline! (yipes!- fingers crossed!)
Sorry I missed everyone's posts - now I'llhave to play catch-up  - - - inbetween painting of course! ;)

Oh, and my lovely lap-top won't let me post an avatar - (lucky for you guys I guess!) LOL!

:)

 I went to my friend's father's memorial service this morning...Jesus Loves me....was sung at the graveside. They are a Christian family, and everyone in the family knows how to play an instrument. Their home was alsways filled with music. It was a song that the family sang together with him at his bedside before he passed away. I've always loved this song and taken great comfort in it - but I don't remember ther being other verses to it.  Here is the song in it's entirety:

                                        Jesus Loves Me

                              Jesus loves me! This I know,
                                For the Bible tells me so;
                              Little ones to Him belong,
                          They are weak but He is strong.
                                   Yes, Jesus loves me!
                                   Yes, Jesus loves me!
                                   Yes, Jesus loves me!
                                  The Bible tells me so.

                           Jesus loves me! He who died,
                            Heaven's gate to open wide;
                             He will wash away my sin,
                             Let His little child come in.
                                 Yes, Jesus loves me!
                                 Yes, Jesus loves me!
                                 Yes, Jesus loves me!
                                 The Bible tells me so.

                         Jesus loves me! loves me still,
                           When I'm very weak and ill;
                        From His shining throne on high,
                        Comes to watch me where I lie.
                               Yes, Jesus loves me!
                               Yes, Jesus loves me!
                               Yes, Jesus loves me!
                               The Bible tells me so.

                        Jesus loves me! He will stay,
                        Close beside me all the way;
                       He's prepared a home for me,
                       And some day His face I'll see.
                            Yes, Jesus loves me!
                            Yes, Jesus loves me!
                            Yes, Jesus loves me!
                            The Bible tells me so.

  My friend and her family are all doing well, and we will be keeping in closer touch.

I also want to say thank you to those of you who posted comments on my last blog post about this, and shared such kind words.
                              It means more than you know.

:)

 Well - it's now passed the grandparents generation and has gone to the parent's generation -
A class mate of mine's father passed away this past friday from a long fight with cancer. - although I know it happens to all of us, and I am quite familiar with reality, thank you, it seems so strange to me that this is happening...doesn't seem quite real - or that it shouldn't be real - not yet anyway. I'll be going to the viewing tonight, or what is now called "visitation" ,(that seems like an dd word to use to me, but I guess you are visiting with the family, in reality),...kinda putting off getting ready, this will be hard to do, but even harder for my friend. So I'll go and I'll be there - for her and her family. The good news, and the other part of the reality in this - we know where he is, and that he is no longer in any pain - you hear people say this all the time, but in this case we know it is true.

Thank you Mr. E  for welcoming me and my family into your home, and sharing your family with me, and your testimony through the example of your life.

Ok I found it...it was originally done by Etta james and here are the lyrics of her version (These are just the lyrics):

At last, my love has come along 
My lonely days are over 
And life is like a song
 Oh, yeah, at last
 The skies above are blue
 My heart was wrapped up in clovers
 The night I looked at you
 I found a dream that I could speak to
 A dream that I can call my own 
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
 A thrill that I have never known 
Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile 
Oh, and then the spell was cast
 And here we are in heaven
 For you are mine 
At last



 
Christina Aguilera also did a re-make of this song...this shows how the song is put together a little better:
(etta james)


At last
My love has come along
My lonely days over
And life is like a song

At last
The skies above are blue
Well my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known well

You smile
You smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven



For you are mine at last
I found a dreamthat I could speak to
A dream that icould call my own
I found a thrillto press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Well


You smile
You smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
Ooo yea
You are mine
You are mine
At last
At last
At last
At last

 Ok, listening to the radio has it's advantages and it's disadvantages...the advantages being that I'm really enjoying hearing some great music today, and the disadvantages...well....you guys get to read it in my post......yeah I know ..there she goes again! Seeesh! LOL!

 But hey - It's got a great beat, and you can dance to it! :D

 This one's a great song too! -

"Suddenly I See"

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I just heard this on the radio...from the movie, Pretty in Pink. yeah, I'm old, but I LOVE this song! - so straight from the "way-back machine",  here it is :

If You Leave


If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways

We've always had time on our sides
Now it's fading fast
Every second every moment
We've got to--we've gotta make it last

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends, someday

If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way

Seven years went under the bridge
Like time standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to--you've gotta say you will

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

If you leave
Oh if you leave
Oh if you leave
Don't look back
Don't look back

It's about damn time!

"The social networking website MySpace has reported a four-fold increase in the number of convicted sex offenders using its service.
The company found more than 29,000 convicted sex offenders in the United States had profiles on MySpace - up from a figure of 7,000 given in May.

MySpace said it was pleased it had identified and removed the profiles of the offenders.

Critics of MySpace call for new laws to make such sites safer for children.

MySpace is a personal website tool allowing people to post blogs, music, and videos.

More than 80 million people have registered a MySpace page. News Corp bought the site for $580m last year.

'Screams for action'

The new figures were first released by officials in two states - North Carolina and Connecticut - which have been pressing MySpace to reveal data about sex offenders found to be using the site.

"The exploding epidemic of sex offender profiles on MySpace - 29,000 and counting - screams for action," said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.

In North Carolina, Attorney General Roy Cooper wants a state law that would require children to obtain parental permission before creating profiles on sites such as MySpace, and require the site to check parents' identity.

He said such a law would mean "fewer children at risk, because there will be fewer children on those web sites".

Under current rules, users must be over the age of 14 to register with MySpace.

In a statement, MySpace said: "We're pleased that we've successfully identified and removed registered sex offenders from our site and hope that other social networking sites follow our lead."

There are about 600,000 registered sex offenders in the United States. "

  Well.....my lap-top is back up and running again - (yay...don't want to say that too loud for fear of jinxing it)
 Of course it was something stupid, like I figured it would be, but again, one never knows when the history of one's luck with these "contraptions of the future", has not been favorable! - So, I'm crossing my fingers, but I don't think I'll hold my breath...(given the past history, I'll be turning blue before the day's out!)
 So Hi again! - and hopfully this thing will work...at least until my old PC is back up and running, and then it's this one's turn to bite the dust again, I mean fair is fair, right?....(arg!) 
  Oh, and here's something...my brand spankin' new lap-top is 10X slower than my old clunky computer...and they are both on dial up! ...Isn't the new stuff supposed to work at least as well as the old out-of date- stuff??????????????

                                                            
                                                Hee hee leave it to Monty Python...
