A la prochaine

YEAH!!! :D--> :D--> :D--> :D--> We found the SOCK!!! It was stuck to the inside of one of my husband's T-shirts! Dam static cling!! Must have been caused from all the grease you ingested during your Buck Owen's detour. -->

ALERT, ALERT!!! TO ALL OLM'S There seems to be a Sock missing :o--> Check the hampers, check the dryers, check behind the dryers, check the bottom of closets, check the drawers, check under the beds, check under the couch cushions, check all shoes and boots, check in the toy boxes, don't quit til you find him! WE NEED OUR SOCKS BACK!!!

Brams, I think you're on to something there sister! ;)--> I'm feeling their love I'm being their love I'm living their love

Brother Strange, I knoweth not where they all be-eth? I knoweth brother lingo goeth northeth to the cold frontier and that Brother Socketh travelleth to the dark valleyeth. But for the othereth OLMeths, I knoweth noteth. --> Feelingeth the loveth Beingeth the loveth, Liveth the loveth (((((Groupeth hugeth for alleth)))))) NB Brother Strangeth, Perhaps other OLM's have lives?

Brother Stange mentioned something about the 'Year of the Monkey'... coincidence... I don't think so! :o--> According to Chinese Astrology here is the description of 'The Monkey' The Year Of The Monkey Very intelligent and able to influence people. Good politician. Thirsty for knowledge. Talented and inventive, but easily discouraged. Monkeys are to seek a Dragon or Rat, but never a Tiger. Feeling the love Being the love Living the love It's the only way to live!

:P-->

Holy Shmoly... what will they think of next! -->

Brother Jonny, May the Monkeys be with you. We will certainly miss you and your words around here. :(--> til we are together again...farewell. Aurevoir dearest OLM.

Funny Bone! Uncle Hairy... chuckling, chuckling, chuckling... Mr. H. Allen had quite the r?m?idn't he!!! -->

Ode to all AmazingSeaMonkeys Shines Right Through Me Great Big Sea Released February 2004 (written by McCann/Mahoney/Doyle) These days I feel a change, All the patterns rearranged Though I can't explain, I know I’m not afraid Now I realize all good things can be supplied And they come from you (AmazingSeaMonkeys) Chorus It's all brand new, and it shines right through Shines Right Through Me I look at you and you, and it shines right through Shines Right Through Me This feeling that I've found, like sleeping on a cloud Smiling at the sky, Not even knowing why Strange how things work out, I know without a doubt That it comes from you Break me out of emptiness, Lead me to your light Anything worth having is worth some sacrifice Laid too long in loneliness, This world was made to change Half an hour of sunshine is worth a week of rain Air is flowing free, it's a little easier to breath This soul unbound, was lost and found No reason left to hide, I feel a light inside and it comes from you (AmazingSeaMonkeys)

Did someone mention GREAT BIG SEA!!!! :D--> Mow! That was amazing!!!!

How's come theeeesse little minkee didn't know about the assignment? Did I miss something? Was I too caught up in eating chocolat to have gotten the assignment too? It's ok, I'll stay back, eat more chocolat and SIM for all you brave Minkees out on the field. I'm feeling the chocolate I'm being the chocolate I'm living the chocolate :D-->

Zix, Thanks for clarifying that for me! I learn so many things here on GS. Such a wealth of information available to us on this wonderful website! :D-->

Must certainly be the work of you know who Maybe that's what Socks was talking about before that he had to run cause something was after him. Praying for him.

BrotherTom, It's a weird one. --> It's up now for me .. at the top of this page but, a few times when I came by here, it was gone. Poof...vanished, disappeared! Do you think it could be the work of the ...dah da da da ... The Dark Monkey! (I feel a derailment coming on) :o-->

Oh where oh where have all the little AMAZINGSEAMONKEYS gone? Oh where oh where can they be?... with their fins etc...

Hey Steve and Cindy, Congratulations! So happy for you two!!!! Hey... do you do the same things on a HONEYMOOM as you would on a HONEYMOON? Let me know ;)--> !

MonkeyBrothersSocksandJonny, You are both AMAZING writers in my opinion. Though your styles are very different, you are both able to communicate very well. And what always shines through for me is you hearts. It's a pleasure to be apart of such an AmazingSeaMonkeyFamily!! Feeling The Love Being The Love Living The Love (did I just derail something here??? -->)

Yes they did! :D--> But even my LEAD experience turned into a fiasco. When I got back, I was ONCE AGAIN called to JL's office. He read my LEAD appraisal and told me that I was accused of lying during LEAD. :o--> Yes, one of those wonderful fearless LEAD leaders wrote that I had said I needed to go to bathroom while we were hicking and that that was just an excuse I had made to have a rest break. Of course JAL believed them and not me. --> Just another chapter in my way corpse experience! The Way Corps ... Welcome to the land of the annally retentive! :D-->

My Way Corps Experience UUUUmmmmm.... let's see. I have thought over many times why I feel/felt the way I do about the Way Corps training. I think for me the worse thing was the torment. Yes, I learnt about public speaking, about social graces, about dressing for success, keeping in shape physically, about communication skills, about counselling people, about marriage, about working hard, about the bible etc. Yes, I did learn a bit of all these things. BUT AT WHAT COST? At what cost was it to me to learn these little lessons? I was stripped of all self-esteem. I was belittle so much that when I finally did leave, I was a shell of a person. I was ashamed. I was made to feel spiritually inferior and crippled. I no longer knew if God loved me and felt that I should hide from God's presence. I was left to pick up the pieces of my life with no help or support. And, after all that... the only contact the Way Corps Office ever had with me was to tell me that I still owed them tuition and remind me that I was to owe no man. No one called me and said, "How are you?" No one wrote. No one cared. And, when I did meet people who were in the way corps with me, they often gave me the cold shoulder. At what cost was any of this information to me you ask? Until I came to GS, I don't think I had really ever recovered from the abuse I endured in the way corps. I could cite incident after incident of what I either witnessed or was party to ... but why bother. It's been told over and over and over and over again. When I would hear of the 'wonderful' stories of the way corps, I used to feel sometimes 'What was wrong with me?' Why didn't I have fun like the others? Why didn't I fit it in? Why is it everyone (seemed) to be enjoying themselves and I wasn't? It was only when I arrived at GS that I was able to begin to answer those questions. I started to read about the leadership of this cult and realized that their intent was never to help the individual but to advance themselves in leadership positions for the most part. They were only pawns in the bigger scheme of things. When I was in residence I saw hypocrisy and blamed myself for thinking evil. I could never get passed it. Sure, there was good people in the corps, but for them to stick around and be 'successful' way corps, they had to change. And over the years, wonderful people went in to the way corps only to come out completely morphed into monsters. Monsters, who would rat on their own mothers to become the 'leaders' they wanted to be so badly. My in-resident time was a very dark time in my life. One I try to not to dwell on too much. It was a mistake and I would never wish such an experience on anyone. Love to all.

Wasway, Nope, no ceremonies here dear sister. We have AmazingSeaMonkeys with long bunny ears that come out and visit us at this time of the year. You can eat chocolate and feel the love. Enjoy!

Way Corpse Training? Don't go there ... --> Tortured, tormented and defeated. That's what the Way Corps did for me.

oh ya... What's this I hear about monkeys being beaten? Now, is that a way to FEEL THE LOVE, BE THE LOVE AND LIVE THE LOVE?? (don't answer that) I'm gonna call the humane society on some of you. I think you are being tricked by the Dark Monkey! --> Check your palms. If they're hairy ... then yes you are in full swing of Evil Monkey Ways. Quickly, rebuke the Evil monkey from your life. Let him shrivel away to nothing! :P--> Shooooooo........

The "more than abundant life" as a wow --> I don't think so!

Shooo Dark Monkey Shoooo!!!! We don't want you here... :P--> As long as we live the love, be the love and feel the love...that Dark Monkey has no place here. :P--> Leave my fellow AmazingSeaMonkeys alone you Evil Dark Monkey you! Any news on those packs and red wrist bands anyone?
