Candles lit...and energy being sent to Miranda and Tim. I would sure be finding a different insurance company. I had an ice jam on my shingles this winter and water leaking inside from it. They are paying for it..minus my deduction. That is sure an act of nature/god whatever.

Beautiful wedding picture..they look so happy.

The problem isn't getting old,

It's getting ourselves to accept it.

Thank you Lionaire. I think the shock has worn off and now they are just angry. Instead of calling things like that an "act of God" it should be called an "act of Nature."

3.: Daily Feng Shui Tip for May 15

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 11:05 am (PDT)

Daily Feng Shui Tip by Ellen Whitehurst for Sunday, May 15

'April showers bring May flowers but what then do May flowers bring?' According to Feng Shui, some May flowers might bring health, healing and happiness if that's what you intend. This philosophy believes that positioning a bunch of blue hued flowers in a white vase and then putting that anywhere close to the front door can cure what ails you, especially if your internal organs are involved. This bouquet of Shui is said to be especially true if there is any illness affecting the kidneys. Fresh flowers planted in any area of the house are also thought to attract angels and tons of invisible assistance from above. But you must make sure that there are never any thorns on the stems on whatever floral strikes your fancy, as these can promote some, well, thorny issues or problematic agendas. Dead or dried flowers around your space are also strictly verboten, since they are said to attract Sha or damaging Chi! And that would just stink! Plain and simply fresh cut flowers lift the spirit and the mood. So, thanks April showers! We owe you a bunch!

5.: Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 15

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 15

Start preparing for Tuesday morning's potent Full Moon -- known as the Wesak Festival in the East and the Buddha Festival in the West. From the arcane perspective, the Full Moon of Taurus-Scorpio every year is the most powerful of all 13 Full Moons in a calendar year.

In the early hours this morning, the Moon finishes its monthly journey through airy Libra -- assisting you in the creative arts and on the relationship front. However, the Moon in opposition to Venus (9:02AM PDT) begins a short void lunar cycle that lasts until 9:33AM PDT when the Moon enters the intensive waters of Scorpio. Slow your pace during the 31-minute void cycle and zero in on completing odds and ends.

Once the Moon arrives in Scorpio (9:33AM PDT) focus renewed attention on solving personal mysteries and ferreting our family secrets. For the next 2+ days, it is fine to play the role of ingenious detective a la Sherlock Holmes. The Moon forming a flowing trine to Neptune (10:53AM PDT) helps you in this regard as well as giving you a boost with camera equipment, film projects, the fine or graphic arts, writing poetry or studying metaphysics.

Venus enters its home sign of Taurus (3:13PM PDT) -- a cycle lasting until June 9 -- while Mercury also enters Taurus (4:19PM PDT) in a cycle that continues until June 2. Venus and Mercury joining forces with Mars and the Sun in Taurus will put four key celestial bodies into this second sign of the zodiac strongly connected to money, tangible assets, real estate, gardening and Mother Nature.

Be on your best behavior this evening as Mars upsets Ceres via a frictional, 45-degree tie (11:21PM PDT). Maintain a steady pace with your productivity across the board.

The light of a hundred stars cannot equal the light of the Moon.

Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde

6a.: Tim & Miranda's house--the day after.

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 11:54 am (PDT)

The front yard--the day after. Tim, luckily, had a chainsaw and gear, and cut up the trees into smaller pieces so they could safely enter the house.

The back yard, with tarps covering the damaged areas. That was one damn huge tree, and now it just looks silly with the top gone.

We are all thankful that the Goddess was keeping them safe.

7.: Acknowledge the Totality of Your Being

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 12:28 pm (PDT)

Acknowledge the Totality of Your Being

Zorba the Greek was said to have described himself as "the whole catastrophe." The truth is, we're all the whole catastrophe, only we wish that we weren't. We deny the parts of ourselves that we deem unacceptable rather than accepting the fact that we're all less than perfect.

One of the reasons it's important to accept all aspects of yourself is that it allows you to be easier on yourself, more compassionate. When you act or feel insecure, rather than pretending to be "together," you can open to the truth and say to yourself, "I'm feeling frightened and that's okay." If you're feeling a little jealous, greedy, or angry, rather than deny or bury your feelings, you can open to them, which helps you move through them quickly and grow beyond them. When you no longer think of your negative feelings as a big deal, or as something to fear, you will no longer be as frightened by them. When you open to the totality of your being you no longer have to pretend that your life is perfect, or even hope that it will be. Instead you can accept yourself as you are are, right now.

When you acknowledge the less than perfect parts of yourself, something magical begins to happen. Along with the negetive, you'll also begin to notice the positive, the wonderful aspects of yourself that you may not have given yourself credit for, or perhaps even been aware of. You'll notice that while you may, at times, act with self-interest in mind, at other times you're incredibly selfless. Sometimes you may act insecure or frightened, but most often you are courageous. While you can certainly get uptight, you can also be quite relaxed.

Opening to the totality of your being is like saying to yourself, "I may not be perfect, but I'm okay just the way I am." When negative characteristics arise you can begin to recognize them as part of a bigger picture. Rather than judging and evaluating yourself simply because you're human, see if you can treat yourself with loving-kindness and great acceptance. You may indeed be "the whole catastrophe," but you can relax about it. So are the rest of us.
by Richard Carlson, Ph. D.

9.1.: Elder's Meditation of the Day

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 6:48 pm (PDT)

Elder's Meditation of the Day

"We must have respect and understanding for women and all female life on this Earth which bears the sacred gift of life."

-- Traditional Circle of Elders. ONONDAGA

At a gathering of Native Elders we were told that many men of today had lost their ability to look at the Woman in a sacred way. They said we were only looking at Her in a physical sense and had lost the ability to look at Her sacredness. They said the Woman has a powerful position in the Unseen World. She has the special ability to bring forth life. They told us to start showing Her respect and to look upon her in a sacred manner. We must start this today.

Grandfather, show me how to see in a sacred way.

10.: A View of Humans from the Faye Side of Reality

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 6:50 pm (PDT)

DANGEROUS HUMANS

Watch out! The humans are here again.
Get out of their way if you possibly can.
They will tromp and stomp and crush us to death.
We finally feel safe when they've passed out in bed.
Not all (but most) are blind to our kind.
They don't know what they're doing, being stuck in their mind,
preoccupied with things that humans hold dear,
like big burning fires, naked bodies, and beer.

You would think that humans would pay more attention.
But they are addicted to big cars, cities, and tension.
Never mind that some claim titles of power.
Most are dangerous people who would never plant a flower.
Look! They have come to the forest to have fun.
They are noisy and rude and put the wee folk to run.
Somehow they got twisted and thrown off the track.
They don't believe in Faeries and give us no slack.

Some think they are better than the land they inhabit.
They take from it everything and give nothing back.
Humans are users and leave such a mess.
They are killing those that they should love best.
Cut and slash, hack and burn;
Around the fire they twist and turn.
You would think they would learn that their primitive smoke
marks the beginning of torture for the Faerie Folk.
Gone are the forests where the Ancient Ones roamed.
Humans have come and poisoned our home.

Just look at their smug smiling faces and see,
how little they love and care for the trees.
How many do you know who have planted on this ground?
How many sow seeds or sing gentle growing sounds?
They screech late at night and scare the neighbors away
with superior attitudes that they can't keep at bay.
I say! What can we do?
If the humans could catch us they would open up a zoo!

Maybe we should think of some course of defense
which would grab them a moment at the edge of their fence.
If they would only pause or stop in their track,
think about the consequences, consider the fact
that if we leave this world, nothing will stand,
the deserts will take over blown madly with sand.
Do you think they would care if they knew what we do?
Most I have seen are fools through and through.
Even now the ozone is thinning,
oil slicks kill, the wheels keep on spinning.

Poison Ivy can't save us; nor thorn friends who prick.
But something I know might just do the trick.
But the problem you see is that humans are so thick
that they still may not notice when you hit them with a stick.
So send in the bugs, the bacteria, the molds.
Rust their swords and rot their clothes.
Grow mushrooms on walls.
Crack cement with seeds.
Take back what they've taken from us.
To hell with their needs!

I can no longer stand the crush and the clutter.
Decay their foundations. Turn rancid their butter.
But don't despair if we can't turn them away
from their final catastrophe and a nuclear day.
If they roast in the Valley of Armageddon,
we will finally be rid of them. Send them to Heaven!
So what if the human race is almost wiped out?
The few that are left will not stamp about
shouting slogans, preaching dogmas, or proclaiming decrees.
They will value the nurturing wisdom of trees.
The green will come back. The seed will not die.
The land may be different and the survivors will cry.
But the Faeries will have a field day when the Elf Craft returns;
carrying in their storage DNA for new ferns,
strange strains for implanting, new plants of every kind.
Thank Karma there will be so few humans to despoil what the Space
Elves leave behind.

Give humans a few million years. They might trash us again.
Or maybe, just maybe, they will have learned NOT TO SIN
against nature (not the church}, against all that lives in this land!
If we are lucky. ... Human history is awfully grim.
Do you think that it could happen in any other way?
As a human, did you come to Earth just to play?
Or is it possible that, as a race, you might mature,
avert disaster as it quickly draws near?
Oh! You would surprise me if you turned the tanks around,
beat swords 1nto plowshares, put seeds into the ground.

You see. That is your only hope.
Otherwise everything will go up in smoke.
Flower Power is a real thing.
Use it on the hungry war machine.
Start a conspiracy to plant billions of seeds.
Compost your garbage to feed the soil's needs.
That's how you reclaim the desert for the Faeries.
You culture some worms and soon you'll eat cherries!

Get the picture my friend or does this make you mad?
If you want the Last Battle, head for the sand. The
recruiting office is open and they're looking for volunteers,
bloodthirsty warriors who can swallow their fears
And don't give a damn about anything green.
Try to wash them and they don't come clean.

11a.: Retooling Rosaries for Pagan Rituals

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 6:51 pm (PDT)

Retooling Rosaries For Pagan Rituals
Former Catholics Find A New Spirituality In Prayer Beads

Picking up her Catholic rosary, Meg Williams, a 24-year-old from Maine,
begins her prayers like this:

"Hail Persephone, full of strength and beauty. . . . Blessed are you and
blessed is the cycle of your life. Holy Persephone, queen of life and
death, pray for your children now, and in the hour of our need. Blessed be."

Williams calls herself a Christo-Pagan, a blender of traditional
Christianity and pagan goddess worship. For her, adapting the Catholic
rosary brings a peace that adhering only to the Christianity of her
youth did not.

"It makes me feel very connected to God," said Williams, who didn't want
her city named because she -- like many pagans who aren't open to their
families -- still lives in what some call the "broom closet."

"Going through this cycle of prayer, it switches your brain into
recognizing that something holy is happening and God is with you," she said.

Her prayer is one example of how some neo-pagans (followers of Wicca,
Druidry, Asatru and other forms of ancient goddess or nature worship)
are retooling the centuries-old rosary and other prayer beads for
worshipping Celtic, Norse, Greek and Roman gods and goddesses.

No one knows how many neo-pagans use prayer beads. But there are now a
sprinkling of pagan-oriented rosary Web sites, including
http://www.sacredgrove.com and http://www.paganrosary.com, where people
can find prayers for a "runic rosary" and a "Celtic goddess rosary,"
among others.

Yahoo has a "Mystic Rosary Group" where neo-pagans and others exchange
information, prayers and support.

The "pagan prayer beads" typically feature multicolored strands of beads
with charms of a goddess figure, a tree, a pentagram, bones or other
non-Christian symbols.

Praying with beads is a spiritual practice with a long history in most
of the world's religions, one that neo-pagans are now rediscovering,
scholars and practitioners say.

"It has been very common for contemporary pagans to regard Mary in some
of her manifestations as a goddess," said Chas Clifton, a professor at
Colorado State University and author of "Her Hidden Children: The Rise
of Wicca and paganism in America." "Language and ritual have been
transferred around from goddess to goddess in the pagan point of view,
and the idea of having beads on a string is cross-cultural."

Christopher Penczak, a witch who teaches how to construct "witches'
ladders" -- a knotted rope that he likens to a rosary used to count
spells -- said: "It is about ritual. Pagans in general, when they find
something that works in a ritual, they are very apt to borrow it."

Tirgereh, a 35-year-old Seattle-based Wiccan, first used a rosary in
college, when her Irish Catholic grandmother was struggling with
Alzheimer's disease. The two women found common ground in the beads, and
eventually, Tirgereh researched pagan prayers for her rosary and then
wrote some of her own.

"There's a very satisfying, tactile aspect to meditating with prayer
beads," said Tirgereh, who only goes by one name. "I would really miss
the soft slide of metal and beads over my fingers were I to ever stop
praying the rosary."

Tirgereh's handmade rosaries replace the crucifix with a more
pagan-specific charm, such as an image of a goddess or tree. She also
hands out copies of simple rosaries at pagan gatherings where she finds
"a remarkable interest" in the beads.

"I've had folks who had always been curious, folks who had been raised
Catholic but never knew how to incorporate it into their own practice
and those just curious to see if I'm doing this from a place of respect
and honor," she said.

Some pagans, like Tirgereh, use the Catholic rosary of their youth for
new purposes while others are discovering the beads for the first time.
One Catholic scholar said the distinction should be made clear.

"The neo-pagan 'rosary' has no connection whatever to the Catholic
devotion . . . other than the use of beads and repetition," said
Monsignor Robert J. Wister, an associate professor of church history at
Immaculate Conception School of Theology at Seton Hall University in
South Orange, N.J.

Neo-pagans are not limiting themselves to Catholic rosaries. Many are
making their own prayer beads with colors, symbols and numbers of beads
that are meaningful to their own practice.

"It seems to have hit critical mass," said Clare Vaughn, a Druid and
co-author of "Pagan Prayer Beads," a new book that describes the history
and how-to of such beads.

Vaughn first saw pagan prayer beads at a neo-pagan gathering in the
Midwest four years ago. "Now, when we go to a pagan gathering, there is
always at least one vendor selling prayer beads," she said.

Fuensanta Plaza, a follower of the Norse gods, says if her house caught
fire, the only thing she would run back for would be her prayer beads,
dedicated to the god Loki and goddess Sigyn.

"They are extremely important to my spiritual life, and therefore to my
life," said Plaza, who lives in Carmel, Calif. Every day, she sits
before her home altar and slips them through her fingers one at a time,
"very much, presumably, as my Catholic grandmother used to say her
rosary every day."

Why the surge of interest? One explanation is that neo-paganism has
simply grown up. Many contemporary pagans come to their faith after
rebelling against the religion of their youth. They have now matured to
the point where they can reach back and borrow practices that once
worked for them.

"For a long time, pagans were exploring," said John Michael Greer,
Vaughn's co-author on "Pagan Prayer Beads." "Sooner or later you say, 'I
have been talking about the gods and goddesses, maybe I should find a
way to get in touch with them.' One way you do that is through
meditation and prayer."

Many neo-pagans say more prayer is precisely what neo-pagans need if
they want to be accepted as genuine people of faith.

"I really want to get pagans to pray," said Raven Kaldera, a pagan who
makes and sells pagan prayer beads via his Web site,
http://www.cauldronfarm.com. "If paganism is going to find its feet as a
religion and not just as a subculture, people need to actually believe
in the gods and not just treat it as something you go to for fun. I
think prayer is a part of that."

13.: Connecting With the Earth SPell

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 6:52 pm (PDT)

Connecting With the Earth Spell
The Sun stays longer every day, and itâ€™s time to put down roots. Planting a seed helps you get in touch with Earth energies whether you have a garden or a windowsill in an apartment. Choose seeds that will help you connect with things that are important to you. If you are a Kitchen Witch, you can start an herb garden. If you feel that you are a healer, plant some medicinal herbs that will help you focus on your healing. If you are a person in need of grounding and centering, then flower seeds will give you a definite boost of energy. There is no specific spell to use as you plant your seeds: your own intent is already invested in the planting.

14a.: Spring Cleaning Ritual

Spring Cleaning Ritual

What is cluttering up your home, both literally and metaphorically? Now is a good time to clear your home of clutter and to clear whatever blocks your progress. Begin with your altar. Is it cluttered? Clear it, put down a fresh altar cloth, and place a new white candle on it. Take a cleansing bath or shower with sage, lavender, or hyssop, chanting â€œPure, pure, I am pureâ€ as you bathe. (Purity was very important to the priests and priestesses in ancient times.) At dusk, light the candle. Look into the candle flame and meditate on its solitude and purity. Feel burdens slip off your shoulder, and open the shades so you can see the Moon. Promise the Moon and Virgo the Virgin that you will focus on what is important in life and remove whatever is blocking you. Set aside the time between the Full and New Moon to clear clutter from your life.

15.: Spiral Coin Spell

Spiral Coin Spell

To ensure prosperity, gather as many coins as possible. Anoint a green candle with virgin olive oil and place it on the left side of the altar. Light the candle and surround the base of the candleholder with a mixture of mint and honeysuckle. Form the stash of coins into a spiral shape on the right side of the table. Using a pen with green ink, write on a piece of white paper the sum of money you need for a useful purpose. Anoint the four corners of the paper with mint oil. Place the paper next to the spiral pile of coins and leave it there. Allow the candle to burn down before removing the coins for storing in a clear glass jar. Put the piece of white paper under the glass money jar until your wish is fulfilled. Donate a portion of the money received to charity.

Retro Radar

"RetroRadar.com is an information clearinghouse for anyone enamored of mid-20th century pop culture, including hot rodders, lindy hoppers, classic film lovers, Art Deco aficionados, WWII re-enactors, vintage clothing collectors, and other retrophiles. . . . We venerate movies that pull at the heartstrings, music that makes you want to dance, and clothing that flatters rather than flaunts." If you're into the 'retro scene,' the world of vintage Americana, this site is definitely the place to visit. Take a trip back in to the time 'when virtues were golden and people were the priority. A time when families gathered around the dinner table to talk about their day, when a car was a work of quality craftsmanship, and a trip to the cinema was like an escape to a fantasyland of infinite possibility.' Here's proof that you can recapture the golden years!

17.: Basic Principles of Wicca

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Basic Principles and Concepts of Wicca
By Patti Wigington, About.com Guide

Nearly half a million people practice Wicca today in America, and most follow a common set of beliefs and guidelines.

Introduction:

There's an old saying that if you ask any ten Wiccans about their religion, you'll get at least fifteen different answers. That's not far from the truth, because with nearly half a million Americans practicing Wicca today, there are dozens -- perhaps even hundreds -- of different Wiccan groups out there. There is no one governing body over Wicca, nor is there a "Bible" that lays down a universal set of guidelines. While specifics vary from one tradition to the next, there are actually a few ideals and beliefs common to nearly all modern Wiccan groups.

Origins of Wicca:

Wicca as a religion was introduced by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s. Gardner's tradition was oathbound, initiatory, and secret. However, after a few years splinter groups began forming, and new traditions were formed. Today, many Wiccan groups owe their basic foundation to the principles laid out by Gardner. Wicca is not an ancient religion, but Gardner did incorporate some old esoteric knoweldge into his original tradition, including Eastern mysticism, Kabballah, and British legend.

Who Is a Wiccan, and How Do You Find Them?:

Wiccans come from all walks of life. They are doctors and nurses, teachers and soccer moms, writers and firefighters, waitresses and computer programmers. In other words, anyone can be Wiccan, and people become Wiccan for many reasons. In fact, there are nearly half a million Wiccans in the United States today. As to where to find them, that might take a bit of digging -- as a mystery religion that doesn't proselytize or actively recruit, it can sometimes be difficult to find a group in your area. Never fear, though -- the Wiccans are out there, and if you ask around enough, you'll bump into one eventually.

Calling Upon the Divine:

Wicca acknowledges the polarity of the Divine, which means that both the male and female deities are often honored. A Wiccan may honor simply a non-specific god and goddess, or they may choose to worship specific deities of their tradition, whether it be Isis and Osiris, Cerridwen and Herne, or Apollo and Athena. In Gardnerian Wicca, the true names of the gods are revealed only to initiated members, and are kept secret from anyone outside the tradition.

Initiation and Degree Systems:

In most Wiccan covens, there is some form of initiation and a degree system. Initiation is a symbolic rebirth, in which the initiant dedicates themselves to the gods of their tradition. Typically, only an individual who has attained the rank of Third Degree dedicant may act as a High Priest or High Priestess. Study is required before an individual may advance to the next degree level, and often this is the traditional "year and a day" period.
Someone who is not a member of a coven or formal group may choose to perform a self-dedication ritual to pledge themselves to the gods of their path.

Magic Happens:

The belief in and use of magic and spellwork is nearly universal within Wicca. This is because for most Wiccans, there's nothing supernatural about magic at all -- it's the harnessing and redirection of natural energy to effect change in the world around us. In Wicca, magic is simply another skill set or tool. Most Wiccans do use specific tools in spellcrafting, such as an athame, wand, herbs, crystals, and candles. Magical workings are often performed within a sacred circle. The use of magic is not limited only to the priesthood -- anyone can craft and perform a spell with a little bit of practice.

The Spirit World is Out There:

Because the concept of an afterlife of some sort is typical in most branches of Wicca, there is a general willingness to accept interaction with the spirit world. Seances and contact with the unknown are not uncommon among Wiccans, although not all Wiccans actively seek communication with the dead. Divination such as tarot, runes, and astrology are often used as well.

What Wicca Isn't:

Wicca does not embrace the concepts of sin, heaven or hell, the evils of sex or nudity, confession, Satanism, animal sacrifice, or the inferiority of women. Wicca is not a fashion statement, and you do not have to dress a certain way to be a "real Wiccan."

Basic Beliefs of Wicca:
While not exclusive to every single tradition, the following are some of the core tenets found in most Wiccan systems:

The Divine is present in nature, and so nature should be honored and respected. Everything from animals and plants to trees and rocks are elements of the sacred. You'll find that many practicing Wiccans are passionate about the environment.
The idea of karma and an afterlife is a valid one. What we do in this lifetime will be revisited upon us in the next. Part of this idea of a cosmic payback system is echoed in the Law of Threefold Return.
Our ancestors should be spoken of with honor. Because it's not considered out of the ordinary to commune with the spirit world, many Wiccans feel that their ancestors are watching over them at all times.
The Divine has polarity -- both male and female. In most paths of Wicca, both a god and goddess are honored.
The Divine is present in all of us. We are all sacred beings, and interaction with the gods is not limited just to the priesthood or a select group of individuals.
Holidays are based on the turning of the earth and the cycle of the seasons. In Wicca, eight major Sabbats are celebrated, as well as monthly Esbats.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Personal responsiblity is the key. Whether magical or mundane, one must be willing to accept the consquences -- either good or bad -- of their behaviour.
Harm none, or something like it. While there are a few different interpretation of what actually constitutes harm, most Wiccans follow the concept that no harm should intentionally be done to another individual.
Respect the beliefs of others. There's no Recruiting Club in Wicca, and the Wiccans are not out to preach at you, convert you, or prosetylize. Wiccan groups recognize that each individual must find their spiritual path on their own, without coercion. While a Wiccan may honor different gods than you do, they will always respect your right to believe differently.

18.: A Smile on a Grumpy Day

Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Sun May 15, 2011 7:02 pm (PDT)

JUST GIVE ME 2 MINUTES. 2 MINUTES IS ALL I NEED AND I WILL BE AS GOOD AS NEW!

OK, I'LL BE HIS FRIEND BUT I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT!

THEY'LL NEVER FIND ME IN HERE!

ALL! RIGHT, WHO CHOSE WHO WE STAND BY? I HAVE STANDARDS.

PUT THAT NOSE UP HERE ONE MORE TIME AND YOU'LL HAVE 3 NOSTRILS!

CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT THIS DUDE LOOKS LIKE WET? HA HA HA

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PORCUPINE BABIES?
GIVES A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO LABOR PAINS!!

I'M SO GLAD IM NOT AN ONLY CHILD!

AS LONG AS YOU'RE GONNA PUT HER IN MY BED
I MIGHT AS WELL SHARE

SOMETIMES YOUR BED JUST FEELS SOOO GOOD!

EARS? WHAT EARS?

Nothing replaces having a friend

'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'

A DAY WITHOUT SMILING
IS A WASTED DAY ! !

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

..Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

If you forward this on, you get ....

Absolutely nothing ....

Except the grateful smile of a true friend!

The light of a hundred stars cannot equal the light of the Moon.

Love Each Day,
Lady Nightshayde
