RE: To Give

yes indeed Non .
some of the people / families my daddy has had to help over the last 20years , their stories very very distressing -
he was telling me at the weekend , they have had alot of urgent calls these last 3 weeks from people requesting heating oil and coal --so he has been very busy organising fuel deliveries for these families --but he is anxious , because all the money that was raised before christmas has nearly gone now , and it's only January yet !

RE: To Give

Thankyou Non
and yes , my dad sure is a very kind man who dedicates much of his time to those in most need --i adore him and respect his genuine goodness
again ,well done again on your wonderful blog --it is good to read a blog like this , that can make people stop and think

RE: To Give

Wow Non ,, a very impressive read --humble , yet heartfelt --and a blog that will give many of us " food " for thought ( excuse the pun).And i agree totally , that the definition of poverty , xtends way beyond lack of food and housing.
Your mother sounds like a truly wonderful lady --one of those rare people in this world , who genuinely give without expecting anything in return . She deserves much respect .
My Dad is president of his conference of St Vincent De Paul , and has been involved with them since we were children .
Many a collection day or fundraiser , my sisters and i would have helped him out with over the years .
There is such outright poverty still in this country ( even through the boom years ), a poverty which has extended greatly due to our deep recession --calls for help have risen sharply and they ,as well as Simon Community struggle to meet huge demands on their resources . It is up to each one of us to help in any way we possibly can --even the smallest gesture of kindness to another human being can mean such alot .
A beautifully written Blog Non

RE: beutifull , hot.............sunny day ,.....here .

Hi VIRGO
it's - 5 here tonight !

RE: Giving up smoking.

Goodnight Teddy

Goodnight Zee

sleep well and i wish you sweet dreams

RE: Giving up smoking.

yes indeed i do know about your santa visits to the hospital Teddy , and i truly admire you --that is a wonderful thing to do
and yes , there is certainly much truth to the second part of your comment

RE: Giving up smoking.

i can see , and i respect your point of view Teddy --but i have to deal with , and treat cancer suffers every day --i try my hardest to ease their suffering in every possible way i can --as well a be of some help to their families too . when a person is dealing with this situation , facing it together with my patients and their loved ones , the urgent need for some hope of a cure is very heartfelt

RE: Giving up smoking.

yes indeed Teddy ,
there are hidden agendas certainly ,
but god , i wish they could just get to the root cause of it --and rid this terrible suffering from people world wide

RE: Giving up smoking.

@Zee --one can never have enough heat from whatever quarter it comes from

@Teddy , i totally agree
even after many many years of research carried out , there is still so much unknown about this --sometimes , i just feel it's very easy to put the blame on smoking when there could be other equally valid reasons --i would hazard to say , it is going to be a long time before scientists know exactly the causes
there seems to be concentration on researching various treatments , rather than causes

RE: Giving up smoking.

this is a tough one -- for me who works in the medical profession --i have seen first hand many thousands of cancer cases over the years -- some of these patients did indeed smoke --however a large number did not smoke and still sadly have been diagnosed with this awful illness . it sure is a mystery

RE: Giving up smoking.

@Simmo ,, don't work too hard now , and i hope you have a great day chat soon

RE: Giving up smoking.

@Simmo --no need to be nervous :-) i'm glad you love yourself dear man as the saying goes ,, you have to love yourself , before you can truly love others ! :-)
but i'm happy that you can spare just a little bit of love for me too

RE: Giving up smoking.

RE: Giving up smoking.

Good morning to you Simmo

RE: Giving up smoking.

Good man Teddy i'm glad to hear you're relaxing now --you worked 10 hours today --i worked 9 hours --i have a 10 hour shift to work on saturday --but as long as we get a good balance between work and rest --that's the secret

RE: Giving up smoking.

Well done you Red so how did you manage to give up ? did you go cold turkey or use some of the anti smoking aids to quit ?

RE: Giving up smoking.

Hi teddy , yeah , i'm doing good thanks --had a busy day at work --but home now --i can relax for the evening how was your day Teddy ?

RE: Giving up smoking.

Hi Teddy , and hello everyone
hows everyone this evening ?
Teddy , you will give them up only when the time is right for you --when you do decide , you will have plenty on hand here to support you and give you loads of encouragement

RE: L.O.V.E.

"love , is a many spendoured thing "

RE: L.O.V.E.

i second what Simmo said !
love is all around tonight
love is love --wether romantic love or friendship love --it's all good

RE: L.O.V.E.

Everyone is a bit different in this respect Teddy --
so people fallin love quite quickly --some it takes quite a bit longer -
but as you say , when you know , you know --there is no mistaking real love --it is all consuming

RE: Princess Grace....aka......

Goodbye my dear friends -thankyou all -
take good care --be kind to one another
i send you all lots of love ,
Serenity
