Sia | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 11:34 am     Ooh, I'm so glad that the Community Corner has been opened. THANKS, GAIL!!! |

Aunt_Bob | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 04:16 pm     I want to dedicate this verse to GAIL. She took the time to listen, then cared enough to give of her time to make a select few, out of thousands, happy. I can not see your face, but I feel your heart. This is for you. "The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows." And this . . .  |
Sia | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 05:28 pm     Oh, what a cute graphic, Aunt_Bob. Can that kissing-smiles clipart be added to the Clipart options avaiable on this web-page? That's too cute! How do you DO that, AB?  |
Aunt_Bob | Saturday, October 05, 2002 - 09:03 pm     Myjohnhenry: how lovely that is. oh no, Sia, I did not do that, I found it on an animated gifs site, copied & saved it in my "smiley folder". I actually have over a hundred smileys of all shapes & sizes. Some animated, some not. Some I have done myself, but most I can not take the credit for. I'm gonna' put something in your folder (that I will make) that I think you will like. |
Gail | Sunday, October 06, 2002 - 10:48 am     Thanks Aunt Bob - that was nice. |
Caliogirl | Tuesday, October 08, 2002 - 11:11 am     My love and I had a minor tiff this morning and made up via email. Afterward we chatted briefly on the phone and felt really connected. A few minutes later he sent me this and I thought I'd share it. -----Original Message----- From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 10:33 AM To: Caliogirl Subject: RE: hmmm --------------------------- Interesting timing on this forward from the XXXXX's. Thanx for the chat Love U jf Read slow and think, words of wisdom are more important than the final paragraph. 1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you. 2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry. 3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. 5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. 6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. 7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. 8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you. 9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful. 10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened. 11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around. 12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you. 13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to. REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS FOR A REASON. |
Aunt_Bob | Tuesday, October 08, 2002 - 04:08 pm     Caliogirl ... thanks so much for sharing. I've seen this and other similar ones on e-cards and I have a very close 'friend' that sent me something like this last year. It brought a smile to my face then, and the fact that you felt so good this morning that you wanted to share some of that with us, brought a smile to my face today! |
Caliogirl | Tuesday, October 08, 2002 - 04:39 pm     Thanks Aunt_bob. It's funny, after I got it and read it I wanted to pass it on -- after I forwarded ti to some of my friends I realized I wanted to include everyone here. It was a neat feeling. Have a great day! |
Aunt_Bob | Wednesday, October 09, 2002 - 09:11 am     This is something I wanted to do, but decided against starting a new thread for fear of the mods reaching over and smacking me upside the head for starting a thread that is *day of the week* specific. Enyweigh ... these are not things I made up, they are excerpts from hundreds, maybe even thousands ... (yeah, I think thousands would be a more realistic estimate) ... of fwd'd e-mails I have received over the years ... (when I receive one I like, I usually file it away for future use). I have picked out some of the best (my opinion) to share here and I decided to name it "Wednesday's Graffiti" ... and I've decided to post some every Wednesday ... big DUH!!! ... sorry, couldn't resist the urge to share a DUH! this morning. So, you guys...here's my first installment of: ~ Wednesday’s Graffiti ~
*edited: next time I will make it a little bigger so it will be easier to read. |
Caliogirl | Wednesday, October 09, 2002 - 03:29 pm     Hey Aunt_Bob How fun -- can't wait for the weekly instalments |
Dahli | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 07:30 am     Did anyone see Oprah on Monday? She had women on who were terrified about losing their 'wow' A woman who slept in her makeup, resented her daughter's youth, worked for hours to get her makeup just right.... she also had a woman who wasn't even thirty, getting botox injections every 4 months. Was she scary looking. Some of the women were challenged to go for 48 hours without makeup and approach 20 strangers and tell them their age. The first woman was 40 and hating it. The show was intersting because they found it not so bad to be 'real' and come 'clean' Made me think that's for sure. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 07:35 am     I did see that, Dahli, and I absolutely did not believe the first woman (who had the makeover) when she started carrying on about how OK she was with being 40 now after Oprah showed her the way. She probably arranged for plastic surgery the minute she saw the makeup-free footage. Most of the other women I liked watching, particularly that family of 3 women - facelift mom was scarier than her botox daughter (botox at 30? WTF? - that girl's face was FROZEN) |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 01:26 pm     It's a shame that women and men feel they need these things to be beautiful. The soft gentleness of age, should not make a person feel inferior. I hate the notion that life ends when age begins. If anything the older we get, the more comfortable we are in our skin. We understand ourselves better. Those tiny crinkles and graying hair only prove that we've lived life. |
Karuuna | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 01:38 pm     What a nice post, Twiggy. Thanks |
Dahli | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 03:05 pm     Why are women afraid to say how old they are... why do men apologize and look aghast when asking how old someone is, why is it a faux pas....? why did it change from being 'I'm (so proud) to be 5... 16....21? to hiding the number in shame? Each time we refuse to answer, get coy or cutesy we deny ourselves. As Meryl Streep said ' I own every one of those years' she will not play that game and I wish all women would stand up and do the same. We are encouraged to hide that number and by doing so we perpetuate the entire sad sham.... |

Suitsmefine | Sunday, October 20, 2002 - 09:23 pm     Aunt_Bob , Thanks for the laugh...I needed that. You come up with some of the best stuff!!!! |
Suitsmefine | Sunday, October 20, 2002 - 09:27 pm     That rum cake recipe reminded me of Christmas and my Aunt's famous rum balls!!!! One Christmas she couldn't stand up, when she finally arrived with them, I guess she did TOO MUCH "sampling" !!!LOL!!! |
Aunt_Bob | Monday, October 21, 2002 - 02:21 am     Well, Suitsmefine...you are very welcome...I'm glad to hear you had a 'feel good' moment today, actually, that would be yesterday...(I'm doing the insomnia thing tonight) Wow...rum balls...where I COULD go with that...but WON'T! Poor Auntie...you know a good cook ALWAYS taste tests! If you can, you should send that "recipe" to her. Now, I am reminded of the time that my 'newlywed' cousin, who was spoiled 'rotten' growing up, did not know how to cook, heck, she wasn't really sure of when 'boiled' water was done! So, her hubby got her a cook book for her birthday, a huge 'Betty Crocker' thing. She was all happy and excited...she invited everyone over for a 'home cooked' meal. Her first! (this is sad...I'm laughing so hard right now, reminiscing) We get there, she's making some sorta cheese cake thing for desert and everyone's ooo-ing & ahh-ing, you know, to give her moral support and stuff. (not me...I hate cheese cake) So, she's got the cookbook all nice & pretty sitting open on the counter, reading the instructions word by word...now, she's all finished mixing everything then she pours the stuff in the pan...then she reads on...next step...REFRIGERATE OVER NIGHT! Oh, my gosh...she is soooooo upset...she starts crying...she can't believe that she messed up like that! Everyone's saying..."that's alright"..."we don't need any desert"..."you made an honest mistake...you're just learning"..."QUICK, someone run down to the store and get a cake or pie or something for desert" But NOT ME...I'm laughing the whole time because I think she's stupid for being 30something and NOT knowing how to COOK...talk about spoiled...you had to know her...in the dictionary under the word 'spoiled'...it says 'see her'. You see, I figured it out...her hubby should have bought her a book on "How To USE a Cookbook" along with the cookbook!!! All she had to do was read the 'whole' recipe once over! Note: She is only two years younger than me...so it was okay for me to make her feel even worse than she already did!!!!!!!!!Right???? (ooo...I hope she's not a lurker on this board... ) |
Sia | Monday, October 21, 2002 - 04:57 am     Aunt_Bob, a funny story; thanks for sharing it! You bring up a point that sometimes haunts me: wouldn't it be just horrible (not to mention embarrassing) if someone who knew us also posted here? I have considered referring family and friends here, but will NOT do it!! LOL! |
Aunt_Bob | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 - 09:59 pm     You are welcome, Sia.
Classic Cute Stories MY FOOTSTEPS? An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story about her then-four-year-old daughter. On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. "Be still, my heart," thought my friend, "my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!" Then the child spoke into the instrument, "Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?" A WISE LITTLE GIRL A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter." Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, "I'm Jane Sugarbrown." The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, "Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?" She replied, "I thought I was, but mother says I'm not." TOO ROUGH A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?" Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough." The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?" THUMB SUCKING A boy had reached four without giving up the habit of sucking his thumb, though his mother had tried everything from bribery to reasoning to painting it with lemon juice to discourage the habit. Finally she tried threats, warning her son that, "If you don't stop sucking your thumb, your stomach is going to blow up like a balloon." Later that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then spoke to her saying, "Uh-oh .. I know what you've been doing." SO KEEP THE SINGING DOWN, OK? A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping." |
