Hey there CoCo,
You know, my son has the option (if it's not too late) of signing up for Creative Writing in High School next year.
He could just copy and paste what you write and..... EASY "A"!!
Just kidding. Some of what you write at times escapes me, but I always enjoy reading it.
BTW, you have a PM.

a few of you may remember that my wife had a kidney transplant early last year.
since then the kidney has been incredible, giving her a new lease on life.
it's really been good to see the light in her eyes that i had missed for quite a long time.. the counterpoint to this good news is the problems we have had with our son coltin.
Sending the best vibes possible to your little guy. Coltin

dear friends,.
one of my greatest enjoyments is a daily walk.
i see things in far greater detail than when i am driving by.

Door knocking?
Yeah, we were amazed when we visited FILOLI for the first time. The estate is HUGE and the diversity of plants is astounding.

just received an email off shelby to say that li-li arrived home a few hours ago.
she's in a bad way, rushed to the vet's as she pee'd blood all over the floor.
she has three small punctures, badly bruised and is doped up with pain killers and antibiotics.. the vet think's that due to her injuries she was kicked as well as being involved in a dog fight.. shelby is on full alert for any signs of internal damage loss of thirst/appetite, listlessness, more blood in urine etc.
Thanks for posting this watersprout.
Li-li is a good little pooch. I hope she weathers this setback OK.
The more people I know, the better I like dogs.

recently attended the dc.
there have been mny threads already on this, but here are some random thoughts giving my take on what i saw & heard.... .
-- attendance was about the same as last year, averaging around 8000 per session.
For sir82, torn apart, and any other current recipients of sKally's High Horse broken record, I took the time to engage her over the effectiveness of her approach back in August of 2008.
Unless she's got something new to add to her morally superior position I have no desire to go down that road again.

by that, i don't mean so much what you do in your leisure time but how you manage the freedom to choose what you will or will not do.
off the wt treadmill, i no longer feel guilty about what is now my neglect of theocratic activity; however, after a nonstop week such as i have just lived through (barely), i am doing nothing, going nowhere, and accepting no new obligations (for the moment).
i can stare at the sky, enjoy the beautiful day and not worry that demons are rushing to fill the void in my empty skull.. you?.
LMSA: " When I get my own place, I'm going electric. "
I'm assuming that will include an increase in volume?
Both (acoustic & electric) are great, IMO, depending on the mood.

my sister sent me this link this morning and listed on there are names of ''known'' apostates!
i made the list yey!
so did my nine year old daughter lol!
sir82: "A couple dozen of the "known apostate" names are comic book character names."
I'm pretty sure they're on the list because someone is posting under those names with messages against the WT.
I don't do Facebook, but I sure enjoyed reading "Nelson Birdwell's" posts a year or two ago. Hilarious.

who wants to be a millionaire--conti's way.. for those that attended the north freemont congregation or the oakley congregation in california from 1993 onward (hot attractive females preferred but not necessarily a prerequisite) you have millions and millions of dollars waiting for you.
the only requirement is that you knew jonathan kendrick while you were a minor after all his responsibilities were removed from him in the congregation.
Marking.

Glander: What a beautiful snapshot you wrote. It brought me back to a novel by a Pacific Northwest author, David Guterson, called "East of the Mountains". Have you read any of his work? His most famous, I think, was "Snow Falling on Cedars".
Coco: "Back to the patio and watching my trees sway in the breeze, their gentle susurration filling my empty soul ..."
Susurration. I really like that word. Almost forgot it existed.

LOL Jerry!
I've also almost never been happy with the Japanese cuisine at places that try to do both Chinese & Japanese.
