Long pig, AlanF?
He will be eighteen soon enough and will remember the kindness and understanding he was shown during his visits with you. I'm glad you all were able to spend some time together.

What do you prefer?
by SheilaM ini have been in an avatar changing mood.
i wonder what do you all prefer, a personal pic so you know who your posting to or do you prefer a avatar that reflects an aspect of the persons personality?

LoL, Six. "How long will I be limping upon two opinions?" *grin* Remember, I said that I'm more interested in what a person writes in their posts than what the little picture over on the left side of the screen looks like, not that I didn't care about the lil' pictures at all.
I think some of the JWD avatars are pretty cool.

There was a god who knew how men and women love to believe things to be true
and make clubs and religions and political systems with the people who agree
with them. They just love to make something out of nothing and then write its
name on a big banner and march down the street waving it and yelling and screaming,
only to have people who believe the opposite come toward them with their banner,
yelling and screaming...This god decided to try to prove a point about the human condition so that people
might, in seeing the absurdity of it, have a good laugh.He constructed a big hat divided right down the middle, the left side of which was
brilliant blue and the right side flaming red. Then he went to a place where many
people were working in the fields on the left side of a road and many other people
were working in the fields on the right side of the road.There the god manifested in all his glory; no one could miss him. Big and radiant,
wearing his hat, he walked straight down the road. All the people on the right side
of the road dropped their hoes and looked up at this god; all the people on the left
side of the road did the same. Everybody was amazed. Then he disappeared.Everyone shouted, "We saw God! We saw God!"
They were all full of joy, until someone on the left said, "There he was in all his
radiance and in his red hat!" And people on the right said, "No, he had on a blue hat."
This disagreement escalated until the people built walls and began to throw stones at
each other.Then the god appeared again. This time he walked in the other direction and then
disappeared. Now all the people looked at each other and the ones on the right said,
"Ah, you were right, he did have on a red hat. We're sorry, we just saw incorrectly.
You were right and we were wrong." The ones on the other side said, "No, no. You were
right. We were wrong." At this point they didn't know whether to fight or to make friends.
Most of them were completely puzzled by the situation.Then the god appeared again.
This time he stood in the middle and he turned to the left and then he turned to the
right, and everyone started to laugh.Pema Chodron - The Wisdom of No Escape

Secret Santa II......
by Gadget ini've just read in another thread that due to circumstances the secret santa for this year hasn't been able to happen, so i want to try and organise another one!.
according to the lady at the post office, the closing date for international mail to be delivered before xmas is this week, but for post on the same continent we still have a few weeks so i'll try and take that into account so everyone can have their prezzy before christmas day.

I'd like to participate again
And I would not mind it one bit if I received my Christmas present a little late. It's the thought that counts, hey?
I have no special requests...anything sent from the heart would make me happy.
Thanks for setting this up
