Dear Betty,
 
That's such a good example it really is..gosh it does make you think.
 
Thank you Betty ♥ Now I love Jude's task Jude ,as you all are welcome in
 
my home anytime..the door is always open♥.
 
Betty can I set you a challenge now.
 
Can I teach you how to post photo's,not that I don't love seeing
 
your photo's first or in fact get so much joy out of posting them.
 
It's just that I am longing to teach the old dog new tricks...
 
 
Ok blackmail nowthink how much pleasure your dear one (me)
 
would get knowing I had taught you something ♥

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

Betty, this is a very good example of what we were discussing.
As I have had difficulty in the giving side it has been amazing to me that so many people have the opposite problem.
 
Yes, I do have to look into ways of going to visit Sandra, although it will be much more difficult as I don't drive. Anyway, who knows what I may do.
 
Love, Jude

Love is the only way

Sandra, dear, I would love to have you teach me how to post photos. There is only one minor(?) problem. The forum is set up on a PC basis and I use a Macintosh (Apple). Lots of times, I can't even forward animations in emails. Checked with the Mac Genius Bar and found out that is why PCs have all these viruses floating around and they never hit Mac's. I spent two hours the other night when I couldn't sleep doing google searches on smiley faces and emoticons. Every time I would find a new website and was told to click for free downloads, I would click and a window would pop up saying "Sorry we do not support Macintosh computers." Now there is the good and the bad to it--while I can't use all the cute little animations, etc., which I love and thoroughly enjoy seeing, in the 14+ years that I have used Mac's, I have never had a virus, etc. bucause they build in so very much protection. It is that very protection that blocks my using the sites you all use. So,, dear one, it comes down to "Good Luck, Bad Luck, who knows". Additionally, dear, I really start using a computer til I was in my mid+50's and the Macs are much, much simpler to use, seldom if ever break down, and in those 14+ years, have had a computer crash only once. Anyway, dear, I would love to take you up on your offer. The next time I need a computer, perhaps if I get a Mac that has a dual core Intel processor, I will be able to do some of your fun stuff. I really do appreciate the offer though.

Yesterday is gone forever.Tomorrow may not come. Live Fully each moment today. Look for Good Things that Happen to you Every Day.

Dear Sandra and Jude,
 
I am glad to hear that you were able to meet face to face, and share an enjoyable time together! Isn't it nice to be able to put a face and a voice together with the written words? I hope this will be the first of more meetings. I suppose it is now Jude's turn to visit?!
 
Have a beautiful Sunday,
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

The next time I need a computer, perhaps if I get a Mac that has a dual core Intel processor

Good Morning Betty ,I have to say you are leaps and bounds above me
with your computer lingoand I am being serious
 
I think we all indeed could do with your type of computer as I have crashed lots and have to re boot my computer several times.
 
Betty you send so many smiles each and everyday...plus hearts too.
For me this is a blessing ♥
 
Keep sending the photo's flowing Betty as they are beautiful you are a lady of endless talents♥ 

 
 
Good Morning Edda,♥
 
Yes it's lovely it really is ♥ I hope so too.Yes I planning to pick Jude up
next time and her puddy cats...shh don't tell her.
 
 
 
 
Oh Jude Chloe made me laugh with her comment..kids hey♥

I smiled today
because a miracle has happened.
We would never know each other
without this forum . . .

Thank you Forum Admin Without this wonderful forum none of us would have ever met ♥

. . . even if only in the ether, I feel as though I was there too . . .
and I am smiling still,
that Sandra and Jude had real tea, rather than virtual tea together . . .
although virtual tea is good too .
 
Regarding the ongoing discussion of the gift of giving,
thank you all, for the life stories, the ilustrations, of how this works.
See . . . it's not the paradox it seems, is it?
A gift given from the heart is perhaps a greater gift to the giver . . .
Thank you, thank you
with love . . .

everything counts... ♥

although virtual tea is good too .

Of course it is Dear Sparrow ..my mother always says that there is nothing
 
like sitting around the table and having a good cup of tea and a chat♥.

Thank you dear Sandra . . .
Did I tell you I love your new signature?

♥The Soul wants to be heard ♥

I think so,
but I tell you again
with love . . .

Did I tell you I love your new signature?

 
Dear Sparrow,
 
I only popped the signature on last night. when I went to visit Jude I
 
dipped into some of her home made Angel cards and this was one of them♥

I smiled lots today but the biggest smile was seeing the little fellow I care
 
for smile so wide as I made Peppa Pigs for his wall.
 
Peppa Pig is a cartoon character she is so sweet even I adore her ♥
 
They are not like the standard you ladies create but they did the trick.

Sandra, did you really make them? they are lovely!!
 
Jude

Love is the only way

Jude yes I did what fun I had painting these little piggies..
 
Jude when I was little people use to call my tiwn and I pinky and Perky
 
do you remeber them.
 
Do you want me to paint your walls

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

Sandra.....I hated Pinky and Perky That's not very flattering of people to call you and your sister who were both very pretty, after two rather ugly looking piglets!
 
I also used to think their songs were terrible
 
Jude

Love is the only way

Sandra.....I hated Pinky and Perky

 
Jude I just chocked on my drinkI don't think they meant it in a nasty way..or at least I don't think so.
 
I guess it's because there were two of us ..where they an incy bit cute Jude.
 
I don't know their songs I was into Hartley Hare

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

 No, I was joking. I do like pigs!! Not that I think you two looked even remotely like them.
 
I think I was probably into the pop music of the time and Pinky and Perky were just not 'it'   They were the first 'speed-altered' voices and were quite a novelty at the time. I'm sure they pre-date you don't they?
I'll probably annoy a lot of people when I say I wasn't a great fan of the Muppets either, although I have to admit they were very clever and funny.
 
No choking now.
 
Jude

Love is the only way

I'm sure they pre-date you don't they?

 
1957. I think that pre-dates you Sandra.

Love is the only way

Well you not alone ther Jude I did not like the muppets I just could not see what was funny in them.
 
Jude I don't really care for pigs but piglets are cute .
 
Did you know though a pig is the cleanest animal on a farm and I
 
am being serious

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

sandraaaaa those are so cute. I want you to come and paint my walls !!! 
I love that picture. you did a beautiful job.  you were a twin?? tell me more please. 
 
Oh how I love this thread. my smile gets very big and happy.  Last night a little 6 year old alter showed me her favorite character these days.  her name is Pucca.  I cant past most of the things here because I do not know what she is saying in chinese.  I would hate to offend someone   anyway, here is pucca without words

 
okay, one has words.  but please forgive me if she is swearing. Sending love and light and smiles, liliwings

Indeed that was ten years before I was born
