Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 What a beautiful sentiment! Isnt it just funny how things happen? Ive been a member here for a little over 2 years altho' I totally suck at posting. Ive found what you say about everyone here to be true! I think I remember one 'almost' dramatic incident here but it was handled w/ respect and grace... SO unlike other groups. I 'was' a member of a military wives support (SUPPORT, mind you) group here in Hawaii. Id been a member for about a month when they started asking me about our losses due to the Hurricane. Before it was all over, I had my ass handed to me b/c they poked into my Yahoo Photo Albums and looked at pictures Id posted for our families to see. I NEVER pointed them in the direction of the albums and yet they felt justified in handing me my ass b/c I was living better now than most of them were and they'd not lost anything to a storm. Talk about jaws hitting the floor. So---- I totally agree with you. The people here are wonderful. Maybe its b/c we've learned a lesson from our babies and their suffering. Maybe its just b/c it takes a special person to parent a child with a birth defect. Who knows... but Im thankful too for the support that Ive gotten here. > > To All The Dear, Dear People, You Know Who You Are! > > > > > I used to subscribe to a religiously based homeschool / homestead group on yahoo here.

Is a naked Barbie not just the naked version of the human female body that God lovingly created? When clothed was she really that different from her human counter parts?

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Actually I'm always afraid to say it how it is but somehow that doesnt' seem to shut me up...haha I'm a wanna-be farmer. last summer we had pigs, a goat, a dozen chickens and four geese on our city lot here. The mayor sort of frowned upon that and dug up an old ordinance from years back prohibiting pigs. Then the goat got too bossy while I was preggers for me to deal with so I gave her away to my MIL. Now it's six hens and four geese - oh, and I forget about the rabbits, we have those too. In fact, had a new litter born yesteray. s. . ee, You are welcome!
