Oh my goodness. You will get extra prayers.

Pray for us here in Missouri there is a tornado on the
ground near Oscelola. I am in SouthWest Mo. and weve
missed out on all the weather but I am watching a
storm build to the West of Branson. I don't think
we will miss out on this one. The cap is going away

CUTE.

Actually, back pats tend to communicate that the hugger doing the back patting is at least significantly uncomfortable and wants to end the hug quickly.

It's much warmer to gently rub the back of the other person in an up/down or circular motion if you want to communicate warmth and closeness.

[Velveeta]

Indeed. Heartfelt prayers going up, up, up, right now.

Our friend wrote that she has had the tests to see if the chemo works and is waiting the results.

Please God, let the test show good.

[Quix]

NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF SUCH A THING, GRANNY!

If I have something to say--especially to you--I'll either tell you privately--most likely--or publically--if positive or on a par with what you've said publically.

I don't know what you mean about games. But I have not been playing any games with you at all in any way shape or fashion from the beginning of my awareness of you until now.

I'm deeply grieved and somewhat mystified that you'd even imagine such a thing.

I still hold you in high regard.

BIG sigh.

[Velveeta]

That was lovely.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Once again the information goes around in a full circle.

Yes, I saw the titles and could guess at what they covered.

LOL

[olde north church]

thesis validated.
Excellent.
I prefer the circular back rub as well.

[Quix]

HMMMM . . .

When I wrote:

Your wisdom, granny, seems to be keenly in step with THE FR BOSS! Thanks much for your assertiveness.

I meant it as an affirmation--an appreciation for your foresightedness and being instinctively, proactively more understanding of and in-step with the Boss's preferences, intentions etc. I was thanking you for your

ASSERTIVENESS WITH ME!!!!

Sheesh.

Sigh.

So much for cherishing, revering, looking up to; respecting; affirming, praising, trying to encourage, applaud and thanking someone one cares deeply for.

Maybe I'd have had a more kind response if I'd been--oh, never mind. Not my style to be disingenuous, even jokingly critical of someone I care for like you.

Sigh.

I realize you may think I'm a very frightening bird of rare plumage; and off-the-wall crazy-man; a loose canon or any number of other derogatory whatevers. That is your privilege.

It saddens me deeply.

But I can SOMEWHAT wrap my mind around possibilities for your feeling such.

I still choose to respect you, look up to you, cherish you and enjoy your contributions to TM and FR and for your prayers and caring.

[Quix]

Thanks!

It seems I need even more than ever the circular type affirmations at this time!

Wheeeeee!

[Calpernia]

Where is LayoutGuru with his police officer gif when you need him?

[texasbluebell]

Female wanted, Siddiqui is Pakistani woman who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology identified by Sheikh Mohammed, as a support person. She has been buying equipment including armored vests from supply stores around the country.

Interesting, in light of what Mansoor Ijaz said about her (re: my post on that).

[WestCoastGal]

Prayers coming your way.......

I believe there are angels among us.......

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places.
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need.

[knak]

good night everybody, have a good one

[WestCoastGal]

Yes I saw your post, two different stories just tonight on this woman. It could be one is right or perhaps someone else is using her id or false id. This is all such a maze with these people.

[Lucy Lake]

Those of us that live in EQ country always wear something decent to bed (usually) or have something close by.

This could open a whole new area in the garment industry.

The Flee line: "Go Clothes" with a compass/clock built in the top button, a mini flashlight in the second button, a detachable hood for inclement weather, and for an extra $50.oo you can have your escape route map embossed on the back of the outfit.

[Velveeta]

I still don't trust Mansoor.

[Letitring]

I think they are following certain people home to steal their uniforms, passports and whatever else they need. On this thread we know that sort of thing has been happening for months, if not years. I mean, how would they know which rooms the airline pilots, etc., stayed in unless they followed them. Uniforms of all sorts have been stolen, nationwide.

[WestCoastGal]

Some people come into our lives and quickly go

Some stay for awhile and leave footprints in our hearts

and we are never the same......

You are a wonderful friend to this person and to all of us.

{{hugs}}

[Honestly]

I'll order one in every color! Thanks for the humor. We needed it.
