Thanks ...... I’m going to try to post the Holidays more often. There are times that they don’t interest me and other times that I get sidetracked. :)

Thank you for the thank you. LOL

Didn’t you and Jaycee go through this routine a few weeks ago?

I stole borrowed your splash graphic. Don't know that I will ever use it but I want it just in case. I need to do some more reading to see how to make a transparent background.

I know that you enjoy doing them. I just don’t want to ever take your generosity for granted.

For all with a quirky sense of humor:

Sayings of the Jewish Buddhist

If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?

Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?

Drink tea and nourish life; with the first sip, joy; with the second sip, satisfaction; with the third sip, peace; with the fourth, a Danish.

Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.

Accept misfortune as a blessing. Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems. What would you talk about?

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single Oy.

There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?

Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then what do you have? Bupkis.

The Tao does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao is not Jewish.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Forget this and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems.

Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as a wooded glen. And sit up straight. You’ll never meet the Buddha with such rounded shoulders.

Deep inside you are ten thousand flowers. Each flower blossoms ten thousand times. Each blossom has ten thousand petals.*(You might want to see a specialist.)

The Torah says, Love your neighbor as yourself.
The Buddha says, “There is no self.” So, maybe we’re off the hook.

Dolly, that J Lawson link is adorable! Thank you.

I am hoping you brought a candle, and a little CD player into the bathroom with you - and turned the light down, lit the candle and turned on some really relaxing music.

I do that, when I need to relax. And, I add LOTs of salts to the hottest water I can stand.

Thanks for helping out Motzart Lover! We are ALL in the ‘learning process’ in Life. ((((Hugs))))

Mine is a Lexmark X5150. Its installed on the pc! Every now and then, I will run into a regular photo and wish I could post it or send to someone or something like that. Soon, I will get my book and look at it. It has good directions for other things (like changing my ink cartridges)....Each time I change them I have to check my book to be sure I do it absolutely right. Don’t change them much and tend to forget in between times.

Yes, that’s what I expected would happen, but for some reason it didn’t. This was a long time ago, maybe I’ll try again.

It's an HP Officejet 5610v All-in-One.

I'm dying to share LOTS of pix (Ev etc.) I think I'll really really really try to figure it out.
