Shell, Stevo has this thing about dictionaries. :D--> And your welcome. :)-->

Geo, What'd you get for Christmas?

I don't need a box that locks for my screws thank you very kindly Songster. But I'll take a box of oceans edge sand. (y'all he does know I won't share lockbox stuff, just in case y'all don't know he's kidding) ;)-->

Well um, okay I think.

Well at this point I might call that a miracle since none of us know what the heck I was saying. -->

It seems easier for someone outside yourself to see your growth. And then have the care to bring it to your attention. I've not followed all of your life but I do know some of it and you've shown great heart and courage. I would have to disagree on some of your self-description likeaeagle.

With SongRemainsTheSame's permission I'm posting the beginning of his latest email to me just because it's fun, and I thought y'all might agree. Thanks Song. :)-->

Shell, he finally showed up but he flew all night and waited most of the day in an airport he entertained himself in. Telling me at one point how the snow plow was out on the runway doing figure 8's, he thought to be deliberate. His thinking was they had all gone a tad bonkers by then. :)--> Since the last time he slept was Thursday night I suspect he isn't going to open his door till sometime this afternoon. Your account of Kelly's gift must have just grabbed your heart big time. Bless her heart, and Sam's...they've had to learn something about life and death we rather they not know as youth. Wonderful they have you with your fire and determination, heck Sam already displays it quite well doesn't she? And Kelly has a heart of powdered sugar it sounds. Okay best make some breakfast and have ready just in case he actually does get up. ;)-->

Shell, brb.

Thank you Song, I'll reply to this one, I promise.

Song, okay so I was a bonehead and deleted the email before I replied, send it back dude. --> ;)-->

And to you! (son is stranded at airport not 2 hours from here, can't get there) (you'd crack up at his stories to me via text message on my cell about each and every thing going on) (last one said HAVE FOOD!!!!!) (they don't grow up do they) (must leave again, enjoy your kids)

Roy, I've not read all your posts but from what I've read you have a very tender heart. Thank you for sharing it, and not being chased away from places you post at. God bless your life this day. :)-->

One nice thing about a snow day is it's time you didn't have, but I better spend some of it doing something boring like dusting or something. It's been a joy chatting with you. :)-->

Well so much for my theory. Let's see then, could it be....oh wait I just remembered the funniest squirrel thing I saw on one of those funniest home thingys....there was a squirrel that jumped onto one of those circular feeders that has a bar around the top (for maybe birds to stand on, I don't know)....but this squirrel got hold of that bar upon his graceful leap and the motion of his landing and movement made that thing start going in a circle....the more he fidgeted around to get some placement to obtain that feed the faster that thing went in a circle....ha ha ha ha (sorry remembering the scene)....and all of a sudden when that sucker was just a spinning the squirrel no longer could hold on and off into the sunset that sucker flew like a dadgum flying saucer....ha ha ha ha....the funniest thing ya ever saw....ha ha ha ha

That's it!!!!! Why they are called ground squirrels...oops wrong part of this story line. Okay so you were saying...well those big blackbirds will scare small children away so I bet you just found your culprits. Maybe they are of the vegetarian kind. CoolWaters, hey girl! Trust all is well with you. :)-->

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Maybe your squirrel has friends. :)--> Snow day here, think my first. Our cul-de-sac somehow got the big mound of snow. So on our tree lawn is a row of maybe 5' snow from this fall we just had. The kids living in this circle are out there building the most awesome fort. Then to our back is a slight hill where a house above us houses a bucko of kids. They are sliding down it half way into our yard probably, perfect conditions. If I could have a snow day and maybe be a tad blue having these youngin's around me having a grand ole time is way kewl indeed!

Especially if you had your squirrel...ha ha ha um, well this is gonna really look whacky all by itself...ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I don't know, right now having too many of them don't seem a bad thing at all.

You're a little whacky ain't ya? :P-->

Okay, well I still don't get the flying part, what ya got for me on that one Sir? :)-->

Mr. Hammeroni, had to bring this one here from your link.... :D-->
