NOW!

I try to pay my way, with my own gas, and buying groceries, or, if all else fails, a thank-you gift and/or card for the host and hostess. Money doesn’t always allow a gift, or groceries, or other expenditures, but if I could, I would be a welcome guest...one who is pleased to be invited, etc.

But my bother loves me and WOULD pay for my gas home if I asked!

[no-to-illegals]

You are lucky ... My family hates my jokes.

[no-to-illegals]

{{HUGS}} Face.

To both of you...My dad died when I was 17, and because of the circumstances, I was responsible for the funeral arrangements. I never cried for him, though I have mourned him all this time.

My mother died 19 years, 11 months and 12 days later...or, not so precisely, 20 years later.

The dynamics between my mother and I were such that she never knew how much I loved her. My dad? He was always above the earthly emotions. He forgave everyone for everything.

[Monkey Face]

PS: I miss them both very much, even all these years later.

We Love our Parents and our Parents Love Us. One does what one can for their Parents. Our Parents, in their Love, did what they could for us. Am sorry Face that both of your Parents have gone to be waiting for you to come to them. It is a cycle ... We come, We see our Parents, our Parents are called to leave, then we leave to be with them. Bless the cycle ... Amen.

I prefer reverse where am born old and go out as a gleam and twinkle in my Father's and Mother's eye. Guess that makes each of us something call human and I truly believe God understands why I prefer reverse.

I just packed up 10-dozen cookies that Sally baked for the prison ministry. A few are left over for Kathleen (and I think I hear Tom masticating).

[Monkey Face]

That is probably Tom DROOLING. Check the floors and furniture for wet spots.

I have yet to get the GS Cookies this year...

[Monkey Face]

I am thankful that I was allowed to have the parents I did, even though they were taken from me when I thought I still needed them. They taught me enough in their lives with me that I am able to overcome the things that the world throws at me, and I know that in the end, my parents will be waiting for me with open arms.

So there is THAT!

I was going to donate for Cookies for the Troops on Sunday, but the money I thought I had in my purse was missing. *sigh* $4 a box, and they’ve probably cut the quantities again.

[Monkey Face]

When my kids were young, I threatened mayhem, disaster, dismemberment and banishment if I ever found ANYTHING missing from my purse...money, keys, etc. It was instant Time Out if the contents had been rearranged or otherwise fiddled with.

At the time, Igor gave my desk a wide berth because I KNEW when anyone had been into it. These days, I don’t have to worry...no one here but me...

[NicknamedBob]

The rule, for me, is if she wants something from her purse, I’ll take her purse to her.

[Monkey Face]

That was a wise lesson. My kids got to that point before they were very far into their teen years.

Igor? It took a while longer for him...but he DID learn...

[NoCmpromiz]

Is it Spring yet?

[null and void]

Very well, but I can’t open the right rear door...

[Monkey Face]

It’s a Suicide Door, so why do you care???

[NoCmpromiz]

I can’t open the right rear door...

That's a feature.

It keeps rear seat passengers from jumping out of the vehicle and drowning in that torrential ran out there...

[Tax-chick]

I’m “springlike warmth.”

[NicknamedBob]

Yes you are.
