Happy Hugs Day!

Hugs

Hugs are special for lots of things
They can feel like bears or butterfly wings
They can make you smile when you are sad
Or just say sorry when you’ve been bad
They can give you love and comfort
They can wash away a tear
A hug can reach you anywhere
Whether you’re far away or near
So if you’re feeling lonely
Sad or even blue
Remember a hug isn’t far away
Just call and I’ll bring one to you

Squirrel Appreciation Day!!???

It was a squirrel that sent me to Rainbow Bridge! Would you appreciate squirrels if one had poisoned you?

I hate squirrels!

But I love you.

When I previewed, the rose was too high so I added a < BR >. That helped and on my computer it looks fine. I wonder why the appearance is different on different computers. Are you using IE?

Yes, I always use IE. I am glad that it looks fine for you. So weird though! I think this is just one of those individual 'default' settings thingies again. I shouldn't even try to insert an animation that requires precise placement any more. For my computer and preview in IE, when I play with the line breaks, 6 breaks centers that animated rose perfectly between the little dotted lines - I know you used 7 to make it just right for your computer, yet on the thread (for me) it was still too high and covered up part of Nicholas' name. Frustrating! LOL

BTW ... Thank you for this darling little girl and for finding the perfect poem.

She's a cutie, isn't she, and it's always fun to find that perfect poem - that "this is it!" poem!

I’m feeling better today but when I opened the local paper, I felt that sinking feeling again. The entire front page is a picture of O and Mrs O. Why is the MSM in the tank?

They were in love with the clintons, too. :( Michelle's ball gown was just gorgeous though, I will say that. :)

Hello friends. My heart is heavy and troubled, but I am here with you and answer the morning's welcome with a soothing Irish tune....

Red is the Rose

Come over the hills my handsome Irish lad
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the road love, and I'll make a vow
That I'll be your true love forever

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any

Down by Killarney's green woods we did stray
The moon and the stars they were shining
The moon shone it's rays on his locks of golden hair
And he swore he'd be my love forever

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any

It's not for the parting that my sister pains
It's not for the grief of my mother
It's all for the loss of my handsome Irish lad
Now my heart is broken forever

Red is the rose by yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any

[La Enchiladita]

Oh goodie, thanks, I needed that.
(((HUGS))) back!!:)

Hi Weinie!
I am no fan of squirrels, I tell you.
The ones in the park here are so aggressive, practically snatch the food from your hand.

However, the past week I have seen no squirrels in the park atall.

I wonder if someone poisoned them.
:-)

[jaycee]

Red is the Rose~~~very lovely, Dita!

How exactly did a squirrel send Weinie to Rainbow Bridge? I don’t quite understand. I have a lot of large trees where I live and a lot of squirrels and I’ve always loved them. I don’t like them getting to my bird feeders or anything though. Before my hubby passed away, we used to sit out on the patio in pretty weather and feed them peanuts and they entertained us. I even bought unsalted ones because I didn’t know if the salt was good for them....LOL!

My squirrels haven’t been aggressive at all.

[lonestar]

Squirrels are food thieves! They steal seeds from birds. They get into the bird's bath water!

They are good for nothing!
