RE: Good news!

I have some good news! My grandson is recovering at home. I spoke with him on the phone last night. He said, "I fall down & bumped my head. But I'm all better now!" Then he said, "I love you MomMom!"

RE: We are all connected

Snuggs, if there were no connection, there would be no emotion, IMO.

RE: We are all connected

But isn't that really how we are in real life too? I mean, I have friends with whom I can share EVERYTHING. Then I have friends whom I'm more careful what I tell them. And then there are acquaintances with whom I mainly talk small talk. But as we do in real life, so do we do in 'cyber' life.

RE: He doesnt call but he sends text msgs

I'm a big texter, myself. Not much of one to hang on the phone for conversation. But I recently met a man who texted to ask when he could call. When I told him I was available for a phone conversation, he never did do it!

RE: inner beauty or physical beauty

That's what I always tell people! I say how you feel on the inside, reflects on the outside & draws people to you.

RE: We are all connected

Are there no psychos in our real lives who try to make our lives miserable any chance they get? This is all life, period.

RE: We are all connected

Oh no Snuggs. It goes much deeper than that. Although I haven't met anyone here in person yet, I feel I know some of them very well. They are my friends. I talk about them to my real friends as if I'd known them for a very long time. My real friends feel like they know some of my 'cyber' friends. Some on here know secrets that I wouldn't even tell people I've met in real life. If that's not a true friendship, I don't know what is.

BTW, I will be meeting one 'cyber' friend next week, as we journey to San Francisco together! It will be our first face-to-face meeting! But I already feel as though she was a sister to me.

RE: inner beauty or physical beauty

I couldn't agree more, T.

I first have to be attracted to a person physically. But then, if they don't have the type of personality I would accept, it just won't last.

RE: We are all connected

Morning Snuggs!

I can tell you from the experience I had yesterday that all my friends here on CS couldn't have been any 'closer' to me, if they'd have been here in the flesh.

When my grandson was taken to the ER after his spill, I was frantic, in tears actually. I was sitting here at work, not knowing what to do. All my friends here wished us well, prayed for us, emailed me, & let me know they were there if I needed them. You just can't get any more real than that.

You can hear a pin drop!

Wow! This thread is still going?? COOL!!

I got it! Thank you! How very sweet.

My daughter & grandbabies brought me a small pot with the beginnings of forget-me-nots that they had planted. They also gave me a pot to set outside with 2 sunflowers that Owen had started in school. I love my kids!

He will be, thank you!


Now... where are these men?? I'm hungry! I saw Doc's here... is it his turn for kitchen duty??

Hey there Wednesday!

I need your prayers!!!

He's 3. He spoke to me from the hospital & he seemed fine. They did a scan & it seemed OK. It was just so scarey. I don't know what I'd do if anything had seriously happened to that little boy!

RE: Can't live without love

I've had that feeling & it's great. Sure, we all get hurt. That's just part of life. But as I've said several times, we control our own moods. There is a time to mourn. But then you need to pick yourself back up & learn from the experience. Everything happens for a reason. And we learn from experience, right?

I wouldn't have missed that feeling for anything!

I need your prayers!!!

Daughter just called me. While they were waiting for the doctor to come back, my grandson fell asleep. They had a bit of a hard time waking him back up. The doctor thought about keeping him, but decided to let him go home. But he told them they MUST check him every hour & if anything changes, to bring him right back.

I need your prayers!!!

Oops

I need your prayers!!!

AAAWWW!!! Thank you so much Arlene! That was so sweet! He told he he fell down & bumped his head, but he's all better now. Then he said, "I love you MomMom!"

I forgot to mention that my boss grows veggies & brings in different things for us to take home all the time. There's still spinach in our office fridge. I'm going to take it home & make a good salad!

You must be getting the remnants of Shirley's storm. I had a feeling you might.

Oh, that's just way too healthy for me! I'll get organic veggies, but give me the fattening dressing. And ain't no way hummus will touch these lips again!

You made me hungry, mentioning salad! I think I'm going to go home & make myself a huge spinach salad with parmesian, croutons, bacon pieces, & Gazebo Room dressing!
