A tradition in our family for Thanksgiving and Christmasobject width="425" height="344">do you have any special traditions?

Kitty Korner November 25, 2008 Be thankful for cats As you count your blessings this Thanksgiving, don't forget to be grateful for the felines that share your world. Without cats — and, yes, dogs, too — existence would be mighty bleak and we humans wouldn't be smiling nearly as much. Dr. Pat Richardson, veterinarian at Broadway Oaks Animal Hospital, puts it beautifully. He says: "Pets are here to make us happy." And he's oh-so-right. Who would dry our tears so sweetly if it weren't for pets? (My friend Anne says her kitty, Lady Gray, saw tears the other morning and promptly hopped up to lick them away.) Who would warm us better than blankets if pets weren't around? (My Gatito noticed me shivering a few minutes ago and turned into a furry heating pad.) Who would greet us with such sincere pleasure if pets weren't part of the picture? (Members of my outdoor pride prance down the driveway to the gate the minute they hear my footsteps, and my indoor kitties continue the greeting with gusto once I get the key in the lock.) Most important of all: Who in a world minus pets would remind us to smell the flowers, admire the butterflies, feel the wind and enjoy the crunch of autumn leaves instead of complaining about fall's endless raking? (Muffin was pouncing on leaves and having such fun yesterday that I decided not to fret about the leafy carpet on the lawn.) Pets can teach us a lot if we will only watch and listen. The little creatures we care for are wise in so many ways. You'll never catch a cat or canine worrying about a big mortgage, a costly car or designer clothes. Tuned in to the true secret of happiness, they'd rather spend their time celebrating life's small and simple pleasures, which are, when all is said and done, the greatest blessings of all.

I always loved this music and moody blues and cat stevens ,I was a soul searching young personplus the fact I was smack dab in the middle of the Jesus movement,(Godspell,Jesus Christ Superstar)by the time The Way came around I had done just the right amount of meditating on these kindalyrics. what did you listen to before your experience in finding twi?

Miss Beatrice, The church organist, Was in her eighties And had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness And kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor Came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea. As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, The young minister Noticed a cute glass bowl Sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled With water, And in the water Floated, of all things, a condom! When she returned With tea and scones, They began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity About the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. 'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this?' Pointing to the bowl. 'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through The Park a few months ago And I found this little package On the ground. The directions said To place it on the organ, Keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu All winter.'

The Twiight Zone(I just saw this old thread!) I was around 1978. I loved ,absolutely loved The Way,the People and I wanted to know all about the bible. I wanted to take the class the moment I saw the "Change Film" . After I took the class I signed up to go out Wow,in Oklahoma City there were 28 Wows and everyone of them I thought were just fabulous people,my wow year was going to be fantastic.I could hardly wait! I love my twig,my branch leader and the whole thing was very exciting and there is nothing I wanted to do more than serve God. I dropped out of college,quit thinking about "my future" in law enforcement or the military and traveling light I went out Wow like so many others I saw at ROA that summer. Well.....my wow year sucked! Got sent to a "morman college town"(Rexburg Idaho,then Blackfoot Idaho) for petes sake!!!! WTF It was the blind leading the blind,I think we ran 2 classes the whole time and kept our head in the word listening to tapes over and over and over,during christmas we were sent some tape by vpw to listen to every week! I wrote a letter,which came out on the "love letter cd" about how excited I was and vp said I was 1 in a million. or something like that (don't have it anymore I burned everything)but my parents were very sad that I had decided NOT to be a Catholic anymore(not that I really was ever "into that either" So anyhoo back to "Potatoe state" very boring and dull,I slept on the floor for 6 months in a sleeping bag and worked as a housekeeper,waitress...whatever was available for those hours(you know) I made a good friend (or so I thought with the other twig leader who I will just call "MJ"(until in later yrs after I got out I called and she hung up on me because I tried to tell her twi was a cult) It's okay I understand it was like a reflex reaction like GAGGING YOURSELF by accident. But...you know God love her cause we were just all in the same boat treading water to a nowhere promise land wanna be! After 79-80 I went wow again I know!!! went to D.C. this time requested it because my father worked at the Pentagon and my mom at Air Force One. Thought I might kill 2 birds with 1 stone and serve God(again because I really didn't do a very good job in Idaho and felt I gotta try this again(like a freaking gambling addiction! you can NOT win)and try to keep my"earthly family" around too. Ha...wrong answer! after that I just kinda lost it and dissapeared only to resurface wanting to return to The Way. Committed as ever went Military Wow and then I was able to see hey....something is just NOT RIGHT here :blink: then I left in 82.

Ahhhh don't remind me I sold my 12 string guitar and dumped my boyfriend!

Christmas 2008: Lucifer's Toy Chest This Year's Annual List of Banned Christmas Toys http://www.landoverbaptist.org/2008/decemb...ychest2008.html

http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index....letter-to-santa

Oh yes the cigerettes and beer! We get that from the ABC store(not sold in grocerys here)and diapers!!! Don't forget the diapers and wipes(yikes!) I don't work in retail anymore so I don't know what the HOT toy if this year,after the toy stor I went to a Large Bookstore. But it was fun I told kids if they didn't pick up there toys at home they would have to work at a Toy store "the rest of your life" Then at the bookstore I would tell coworkers if they wanted a bible I couldn't go get one cause it would "burn my hands" Lots of bible sell during Christmas time! Ha. I did like my job it was kinda fun but I don't work now since I watch my grandson.

I guess you would get that for the big snow storms on MILK and Bread!

I did work in retail for years. my first experience in Holiday retail was at a large TOY store,there is nothing like the spirit of christmas time where angry people fight over and stand in line over the hottest toys! At closing time we would blink the lights to warn of closing and still you would find people in the dark deciding what to get at the last moment. You just wanna scream get OUT! The Holidays are LONG starting in august in retail,by the time Christmas and working overnights is over you are pretty much sick of the whole christmas season,so this year I will enjoy it!!!! What about you?

Do you think there is a graveyard for all the old PINK Mary Kay Cars?
