Oh, I figured it might be a bit too much for most of you. But anyone in the neighborhood of Mt. Shasta, let me know!
Apostrate -- Way northern California, until you almost run out of state.

You don't get the concept of fluff, do you? I'm the queen of fluff. This is a fluff thread! If you're hurting, dear, and you may well be, know that all of us agree with you. But sometimes we have to have a light moment or two.

I'm making turkey and trimmings, neighbors are bringing whatever they want, mostly vegetarian stuff. I'm inviting about 20 of my neighbors. You're invited, too! If you can make it, let me know what you're bringing, if anything.
Turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, green tomato relish
Mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes (no damned marshmallows, either), broccoli, green salad, pea salad, tabouli
Coffee and tea. Cookies. Peach pie. Plum cobbler.

Actually my friends and I don't exchange gifts, other than some homemade stollen or fruit cake. After all, we can buy ourselves anything we really want, anyway, so gift giving is moot. And most of us have too much stuff anyway.
I do like giving treasure bags to little kids -- a very fancy little drawstring bag, maybe velvet with gold strings, and I put dollar coins in them and some xmas candy. Kids are just like anyone else, they like to get money as a present. I ask for dollar coins when I go to the bank all year long so I build up a little stash. But, this year, I'm not around any little kids.

I have one called "Daisy" from Marc Jacobs. It's a light fragrance, lovely but barely there. I like it for when I'll be in a group of people, so no one is overwhelmed by it. White Shoulders is my favorite of all time, but it's a little more powerful than Daisy.

You'll get over it when you discover you have boundaries and preferences and personal standards just like anyone else.
And when you're old enough and have nothing to lose (welcome to retirement!), you'll give up being polite completely in favor of being real. Doesn't mean I'm a rude old bitch, just that my kindness has limits, eh?

Well, I'm not in it for religious reasons -- I like the bright lights, cheerful sounds and good food! Brightens up the darkest part of winter and is so lovely to see. Merry Whatever folks - have a lovely, fun-filled solstice, whatever you call it.
Colorful twinkling lights, dark road through town, rain on the windshield, interesting smells as you pass the homes, restaurants, and christmas tree lots.
If it weren't for the fire danger here in the forest, we could build a huge straw man and set it on fire on the solstice. That and a mug of hot cocoa would be a good celebration to the end of shorter days.

Funeral for an atheist
by Stealth in99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

Doesn't matter to me. I won't know anything about it. I told my sister to spend as little money as possible on my cremation and to dump the ashes under a rose bush somewhere when no one is looking. If my relatives want a ceremony of some sort, that's up to them. I don't think it will happen, though. However, I did tell my sister I want some kind of smart-ass tombstone if she buries my remains -- something that will give people a laugh and certainly nothing sentimental.

White Shoulders -- the original one, not the one they sell now. The one you can buy nowadays doesn't have all the essentials oils the original one had. When I wear it I always get compliments, even though I only wear a little of it. I'll feel really sad when I run out of the good stuff. It's considered a white floral -- tuberose, gardenia and flowers like that.
