07/10/08 CS's Chat

• I got a PM this afternoon from Cheryl54 asking if it would be OK to join us so I emailed her back and told her if she could put up with me she would be a welcome addition to our group.  If she stops by, please give her a big CS’s Welcome to the Group!!

• Thought for the Day- Trials, temptations, disappointments: all these are helps instead of hindrances if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.-James Buckham

• Today is Teddy Bear Picnic Day. Spend the lunch hour on a blanket under a shade tree with your Teddy Bear.

• Stuffed Teddy Bears are a kids favorite. Children receive Teddy Bears early in their childhood. Children cling to them throughout their teenage years. Many bears are kept, even as you become an adult. How many of you know exactly where your Teddy Bear is?  Mine is sitting in an antique high chair in my living room.  The chair is the one my grandmother used when she was a baby and so did her children (my mom).  I even sat in it when I was a baby and would have lunch at my grandmother’s and so did most of my cousins.

• On this gorgeous summer day, take your teddy bear (or teddy bears) out for a day in the sun. It's time for a Teddy Bear Picnic! Make a few PB& J sandwiches, some cookies, and a jug of Kool-Aid. Take a blanket out under a shade tree, and enjoy lunch with your Teddy.

• Special hugs and prayers for Betty, Louise and Maury, Gat and Jeanette, Mabel and Floyd, Grace, Ruth, Helen, and Anne.

• Remember the group prayer! “Heavenly Father, we ask that you watch over and care for all Cookin’ Seniors and those they love as they go about their day!!”

•  Margaret-Thanks for letting us here from Merle.

• Merle-Please email me.  I may have some ideas.  Just use either the gulftel address or the yahoo address as I still am using both.

• Sandy-Hugs to your DH for his toe.  Have they cultured it yet??  LOL Sandy Texting isn’t even in English.  Seems there is a whole other language for that.  I don’t text but my cell I could not live without.  In fact as soon as I get the email straight and get everybody that calls us on the home phone clear, I am going to drop my home service completely and go with a cell phone only.  Most everybody calls me on that anyway. 

• Tippy-are you able to block a specific # for incoming calls?  Maybe that would work.

• Rosie-Where are you and Walt going this time??

• Beverly-What fox and where did you keep it??  A fawn I could do, a badger I could do, a fox now that might be a different story!!

• Cilla-We do have good taste don’t we!!! How did your Dad’s party go yesterday?

• Leisa-Great to see you!! Hope you computer decides it feels the need for speed soon.  We miss you!!

• Roberta-Be careful of those storms!!

• Peg-Glad to hear you are a jell-o nut too.  Love the stuff!!

• Ruth-since you can not see your doctor any chance of seeing another doctor sooner?? I know everyone thinks I’m nuts anyway!! J

• Hugs and prayers for all!

• Zora

Oh BTW Ruth.....

   

Sure is hard to get onto these boards. Sheeshkadoodles! Anyhow, before I turn in...and I get to sleep AT HOME tonight... (YES!!!)...I just want to wish all my CS friends a wonderful day, wherever you are.

Spread the joy around. Make an ordinary day EXTRAORDINARY!  ***JP***

Hello and Good Morning to all of you.  I just lost the first attempt at posting, so am trying again.

Zora, if you notice the last post on yesterday's thread, you'll see that I had TLW.  LOL.  I also got a head start on Teddy Bear day, not a picnic though.  I posted my "Be my teddybear" nighttime siggie with Elvis's picture in a dream box.  It seems that here lately I have had the same taste as you and Cilla in siggies too, since I have several that both of you do.  Including the  Panda in the bathtub that you posted yesterday.

I hope all of you have a good day,  I have to babysit again, but will try to drop in later after I get home.  Hopefully, Margie will be on time today, and I won't have to watch them here.  We're supposed to have rainy weather again for the next 2 days.

Hugs and Prayers for all of you and your family members.

I hope this posts.  I don't want to have to retype it again.

 Good morning everyone. I did not get on here yesterday, had a busy day I had a hospital appointment mid morning so by the time I got home it was lunch time, then I had to take a birthday present to my friends 3 year old, and it rained all day. the sun is shining at the moment so hope to get the washing dry out side today. I have my teddy bear sat on my bed. have a good day everyone, hugs from Margaret E

I am back, it seems forever since I have been on here. I hope to read all the posts and catch up but wanted to get here this morning. I did laundry all afternoon yesterday. I did not know we had so many clothes. We did go to the Laundromat (sp?) one day and still had 2 rubbermaid totes full to bring home.

I will get the recipes caught up one day. It will take me a while to scan through but it will get done.

I am adding armloads of hugs, prayers and well wishes to the baskets this morning as I repeat the group prayer.

Lois

Good morning!!  It's a run through as I have a hot date in a couple of hours and have lots to do before I leave.  A good lookin' young man is taking me back to The Cave Without A Name and to lunch.  Thomas is our scientific brain so thought he might enjoy the cave adventure.  I called and asked if he would do that and my eardrum is healing nicely, thank you.  We want to get an early start as it is an hour up there ... certainly want to be done before lunch is too far gone.  I am also going to teach him about geocaching and  let him help me look for the one we didn't find at the cave (I am starting to take the DNF's personally, even if it was circumstance that kept me from finding it).  Hugs and prayers to each of you, YOU are loved!  And that is my last word, I haven't had THE last word in years.

Ruth-Margaret-I have TLW again!!!

Antelope Jackrabbit 

 This very large rabbit has a body length of 24 inches, a tail that grows up to 4 inches, front legs that are 8 inches long and back legs that are 12 inches long.  It gets its name from the fast and leaping antelope.  The ears of the antelope jackrabbit grow up to 8 inches and are used not only for hearing but to reduce and regulate its body heat for survival.  Adult males and females do a mating dance with the male chasing the female and boxing other males for her affection. Breeding year round, they have one to five babies in each litter.  The young are born fully haired, eyes open and able to hop.  They scatter at birth but come back to their mother to feed.  
The antelope jackrabbit is a nocturnal creature that feeds in the evening and during the early morning hours.  They use a series of grunts and chuck calls to warn others nearby of danger.  They don’t dig or occupy burrows, but depend on their running skills when in danger.  Their tail also acts as an alert for others nearby showing its white color when it is running.  When running from danger, the antelope jackrabbit is able to move the white color of its sides up and down in order to confuse predators. Just before taking off, it flashes the white color in its side and then changes it to brown when coming to a stop.  The antelope jackrabbit eats fresh grasses, cacti and rarely drink any water.  They are often hunted as pests because of the damage they do to crops.

 For a very brief moment deep, vibrant rose fired up the violent hued clouds stretched across the sky. Quickly fading to a very pale light as the wind shoved the clouds around, closing the gap the rising sun had been peeking through.

A very mundane day ahead. Kids, chores. . . 

72° with 78% humidity and reach a high of 91°.

I am going to knitting then I’ll go to Dad’s then we go to a coin club meeting tonight. DH went alone Tuesday because I was with the kiddos.

Lois, welcome back!! I missed you!! I was just thinking as I sat down…wondered when you were coming back!!

Waving to all…filling the baskets with lots of hugs and prayers for all…

 

Good afternoon from Indiana, it's 79 out there, so not too bad again.........I can live with that.

I have teddy bears all over the place, love the little critters, first thing Jacob grabs for when he is here.  Going out to a late lunch with DD #1 & her kiddies..............Help me Rosie, it will be a zoo, they are a handful.  Guess we'll go to Cracker Barrel as they are kid friendly.

Just got the Thur. housework done, always glad, Thur. is a big housecleaning day, try to do too much at once.

DH tucked away in his shop, working on building a grill for a friend, he's got it all welded up, it will be a nice one when he's finished.

Will get the groceries before meeting DD, we're almost out of milk.

Hope everyone is having a great day.
