You're right - have to have Frosty & Rudolph & How the Grinch etc, preferably viewed with children. But you have to mute the commercials. Button :bubble:

Turn off the T.V. :bubble:

It was incredible! Here in Colorado it set behind the mountains just before the sun began to rise - awesome beauty. It really is bigger and brighter than usual because it's near Perigee - closest to earth. Button :bubble:

I'm so sorry you lost your friend. Grief is so hard; but I've found it heals better if you don't avoid it. Care for yourself gently while you let yourself feel it, so it can take its course naturally. Hospices and hospitals have grief & loss groups led by counselors who can help you with...

One really easy way to research the person you're considering is to click the "search" button on one of their posts and look at every opinion they've ever posted. This will give you a very accurate picture of their attitudes about all kinds of things - their values & the issues they find...

I echo that. You & your sis take gentle care of yourselves, and be serene. Button

Bless you, sweet steph; you didn't say anything offensive to apologise for! I know from reading your posts that you have a kind heart. :smilelove I didn't write that article, a smart little lady in England did, and I've read other humourous writings by her. The dwarf community does indeed use...

Maria Rose, I find Little People intriguing, too. I find their physical characteristics very appealing; but even more I am so interested in the way they fulfil their desires for a rich life in the face of so many challenges and bigotry. I can easily imagine the discomfort of encountering the...

Happy Canada Day, cosmo, and the rest of you chilly country dwellers. Button :bubble: DOUGH - The stuff that buys me beer RAY - The guy that sells me beer ME - The one who drinks the beer FAR - A long long way to run to get beer SO - what if it's american beer. LA - I'll have another beer TEA...

Paedophiles can no longer scurry under rocks by seeking out child victims in other countries, thus avoiding U.S. prosecution. Michael Lewis Clark, 70, pleaded guilty in March to traveling to Cambodia last year and having sex with two boys, ages 10 and 13. Prosecutors said he may have had sex...

Nick, I feel for you - it is so hard to let go of someone you love. What helped me most was letting myself accept any feeling or thought. Don't resist, look at it, acknowledge it, and then let it blow right through you. Breathe deeply around it, acknowledge it, then let it blow back out...

Steve, your only crime was engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man. :p Button :bubble:

TummyDragon, how do you do that dadblasted carbon-dating again? My memory isn't what it used to be. Type larger, too, consarnit, I can't see as well as I used to, either. *clacks her false teeth irritably* I can't hear you, whippersnapper... Ah well...good thing I can still drive. Button...

*I hold you close & rock you gently, patting you.* Little One, it's going to get better, believe me - change is a certainty. Meanwhile, let it loose & cry - that is so good for you because it washes out the sadness and relieves the pressure. I'll hold you while you do. Love, Button :smilelove

Yes, common courtesy would have been the way to go with this; to at least have written a respectful letter to Mr. Bradbury telling him how inspiring Farenheit 451 is, how perfect a title alluding to the same sort of powermongers' abuses as in the book, similar ideology, etc. Still, I'm amused...
