The sleigh looks like fun...but we definitely have to find some snow somewhere. None here though at the moment it sure looks like it's ready to dump a couple of feet. We had sunshine til 45 minutes ago and now the sky is dark with clouds. brrrrrr!

Thank you, Meekie, for the hot chocolate. It will be mighty tasty for tonight's sleigh ride.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Maybe Starman can make us fly again. LOL!!

I got a good laugh out of this one, tomkow. Good one!

Good Evening Radu
How are you Radu?
I wish I could see you...
Radu 'tis
a ghost of you
a whisping trace
you're leaving
in the wake of your
foot steps!
like a fine mist
hung in space..

[radu]

Maybe Starman can make us fly again.

Now that just made my hair stand on end. If he's gonna do that, he has to wear a flashing red light on his nose and be Rudolf. hehehehehehehe!

[Kathy in Alaska]

G'day mate! Thank you, Dundee, for posting these great quotes. And the Aussie prayer is wonderful. Thank you for stopping in to help honor our military and our allies. And thank you for your service to your country.

Good afternoon, ms.feather. How are you today?

What a neat poem. I had to print that one off. Dad just read it and liked it, too.

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our
own, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, or students... here is something
to make you chuckle
.
Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort
from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own
children.
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was,
"Don't!"
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit ?
Hey, Eve we have forbidden fruit !"
"No way !"
"Sure Nuff!"
"Do NOT eat the fruit !" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, (wondering
why he hadn't stopped Creation after making the elephants).
A few minutes later, God saw His children having an
apple break and was He ticked !
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God, as our first parent, asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"She started it !" Adam said,
"Did not !"
"Did too !"
"DID NOT !"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam
and Eve should have children of their own. Thus, the pattern was set and it has never changed!
But there is reassurance in this story.
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you ?
Advice for the day:
If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on an aspirin bottle: "Take two Aspirin"
and "Keep away from children."
A FEW ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ! ...
CHILDREN: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them
to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and be quiet.
Grandchildren....God's reward for not killing your children!!
Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young.
Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word
for word what you shouldn't have said.
The main purpose for hosting a party for your children and their
friends is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
"We child-proofed our home 3 years ago and they're still getting in!"
Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home!

:O)

[radu]

I love your pics of MuShu...love that face!

You don't want Moosh to eat tomkow's "kitty-katz". They're so cute! You'd also have to deal with some mighty bad breath. LOL!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Take that sign out of the window...I'm your guy! Where do I sign-up.. Got any coffee?

Welcome, carlos! Our troops and Canteeners are in for a treat. Meekie provides great coffee daily. Radu, Kathy and others bring food and music, but having a professional chef at the Canteen for the troops is a real coup.

Please - the kitchen's all yours. Kathy and I will help with the dishes and you'll never be short on companionship.

Freshen your cup? (^;

or cocoa?
Cookies?

Canteeners, check out your new chef, "one of FR's finest".

Billie, thanks for your wonderful daily tribute thread. It's FR at its finest. Have you considered linking your thread to the Canteen thread for the troops?

Thanks for the turkey leftovers, carlo. Hits the spot after a day of Christmas decorating. Yum!

[radu]

Well, poo. Everyone just filed back in so I need to leave for a bit. I'll do my best to get back in time for the sleigh ride. :-))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very good attempt, tom. LOL!
