The tears come now to clear your path for new visions, inspired by your father. He would be so proud to know you are once again, being inspired to create. No doubt, a dream he had for your life. (I don't presume to know). Seven years, (7) God's perfect number!
Sharing a part of you that was so entwined with your dad makes it all the more difficult for you yet also, all the more special to share with others. Not everyone has a dad who loves them or inspires them or even sometimes accepts them. Your story and your art may be the only way some ever experience a little piece of that feeling and you can provide that through the written word, sharing little moments spent with your dad as you both painted together as you also share your new creations, inspired by your father's love for you and for art. I believe your dad would feel so honored for you to share the love he had for you, with others but that is not for me to say, only to suggest.
I think you are ready to just burst forth as you move toward a new time in your life of creating, using the wonderful memories of your father to inspire you. Everyone likes to know the inspiration behind the artist's work, or enjoy reading little stories as to the development of the piece. Little Alty, I want to encourage you to become the artist that is within you! It has sat dormant for a time, as life moved slowly forward.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Ecclesiastes 3:1
Now you are making me cry Rebby! Your words are so sweet and touching. I'm so glad to call you my friend. Yes Alty's paintings are beautiful, and her Dad would be proud to see her painting again. I'm at a loss for words Rebby. That was just so sweet, for you to give Alty that inspiration. I'm sure her Dad hands will help her with every stroke of the brush, and she will feel him in the room with her while she paints more beautiful pictures. :)
Should have gone more into it, tis a great game, but I agree with you on halo 3 is a brilliant game its just COD4 is in a word better in my opinion especially onlineQuote:

Sneezy, welcome, I am sorry we didn't tell you;)

Blackjack..

PACMAN?!
Ohhhhh... of course, that is pretty much all I know Sneezy!
Dear Alty. Your dad would want you to continue. When we encourage our children to do something that they have fun doing and are good at (and believe me, you're GOOD) they want you to find peace and happiness in your memories of them. When I taught Jaime a few things and she got good at it, it made me so darned proud of her and I sincerely hope she continues the rest of her life and has fond memories of me teaching her how. That's what drives us parents. It leaves a legacy - so think of it that way. I just downloaded your picture of the wolves for her because she has loved wolves since she was a baby and when we went to the zoo to watch them, they always came close to us and 'sang' their song for her - it was usually near closing time and it was a ritual. She still remembers that time as one of the happiest times as a child. Hope it's OK with you for me to share it with her. Keep up your wonderful talent my love, don't deprive the rest of the world of something so beautiful!Quote:

On the subject of games and such ---- and I'm NOT advertizing for the products in any way!
I like yachtzee(sp) still, dominoes, crosswords, scrabble,netuno, spades, any breakout game, jigsaw,the original mahjong, space invaders, etc.
If you check out completelyfreesoftware.com - they have old and new games for all windows and/or DOS versions. I have lifetime membership on that site and believe me, it's worth it. It does not just have games, but everything else, from utilities to desktop apps and more.
That's where I got my Total Commander and my Desk Sweeper. The desksweeper clears the desktop when the apps you use are minimized when you use them so that the icons in the background don't interefere with your concentration.
That site also has a lot of bible-related games for kids of all ages which I download for my friend for her kids.
Let me know if there is anything on it that might interest you and I can download and send to you to try out - because there is minimal fee to join - a lifetime cost me less than 30 dollars.
Also, if you like jigsaw puzzles that you can create yourself with your own pictures, different piece shapes, and from 25 to 3000 pieces try out Jigs@w Puzzle. This one was so good I just had to buy it.
Then there is Kyodai Mahjong.. where you can create your own tiles, tilesets, and the site has custom made tilesets made from other members that you can download and use. Just check out the site and see for yourself how much imagination some people have.
Right now, I have RealArcade and BigFish Games and I just love hidden object games of all sorts. This keeps my mind busy and it's a lot of fun to find all the hidden objects in some super graphic apps. The nice thing about these sites is that you can download and play any type of game for an hour for free until you find one that you want to purchase.
So, now you know I'm still a kid at heart. I collect all kinds of pictures and create coloring books in PDF format too with Painshop Pro 9, although I don't do it as much as I used to, I still have a pretty good collection and give them away to my friends and neighbors to keep their kids busy. The only problem is when I send them on the net, I have to make them small enough to use Yousendit.com for people to be able to download them. My Winnie the Pooh, flowers, fish, christmas, aminals, clowns, and easter coloring books have been sent almost all over the world.
PM me any time if you need more information or if anyone has any ideas on how I can send large files an easier way.

Ohhhh you are so cool Chery!!
AND, I just figured out who you remind me of... :)
I have a best friend in Alaska, I was 8 months old when she was born and we hung out almost every day after that special day! OUR MOTHERS were best friends... bowling, bingo, costume making, arts and crafts, and my fave was Dennys for breakfast! ;) I called them both "mom" I love my best friend and I love my Mom and her best friend. I can't tell you how I was devistated when my parents split, I can't tell you what it meant to me to have her around when my real mom left and never really came back. She was and is extra special to me, and so are you. I never called anyone else mom, even though there are people in my life today that would probably love it if I did. So I just wanted to share this with you. YOu are so much like her, I am lucky to have met you:)
Goodness Starby! I didn't mean to make anyone cry. I am sure knowing Alty's loss, it touches a chord in all of us. I agree with you that Alty will feel her dad's presence in the room as she paints because we all carry a part of those we deeply love with us forever.Quote:

I sound a bit sappy here this morning... sorry everyone, not meaning to. :o It is just so nice to have friends to wake up to every morning and know if we need each other, someone will be here.
Thanks to all of you! :)
Thank you too Rebby!
Starty, I have been enjoying all of your posts. You seem to have an extra bounce in your step so to speak lately. Sure makes me have a good day! Love and hugs!Quote:

When you feel exhausted and down, think of us sitting on couch with your head in my lap and me brushing your hair or rubbing your back and just talking about anything under the sun. We might be geographically away from each other, but always consider me there for you any time.Quote:

I just don't know what to say...
Rebby, I am trying my hardest to be as positive as I can. I am glad it is shining through. I have been through a few rough spots, and I am trying to find a way to move on and be well. Life is so short... I can't just sit around and mope, or be angry, or be sad! Hugs to you Reb...
Chery, I can only dream of being right next to you;) This is what it is supposed to be, so I take it in as much as I can! I know I can count on you Chery, ever since I met you and CBW introduce us to each other... I knew.;)
YouTube - I wanna thank you-Jess and Rory
This is a wonderful song... it says everything I feel for you all!;)
Why is it Whenever I get one here my post is 30 pages ago? :confused:
It may be because we chat so much?? ;) Hi you Guy, how have youbeen?
Eh.. Busyish I could guess
Football restarted and I got denied my application, So I'm unemployed... My Grandmother is getting some surgey done to check her heart and my dad wasn't smart enough to wake me up and we're going to the mall on Friday
And I have an Essay I have to write on The Good Earth
Oh busyish is good. All my love to grandma, and thank goodness for good DADS! ;)
My 14 year old is going to be a freshman, he broke his arm in a very bad place, right under the shoulder, so he won't be playing this year! He has been playing football since he was in the first grade, this is a very sad situation. I feel so bad for him...
Have fun at the mall
I'll Try, I'm not much of a shopper myself
I'm just going to guy 2-3 shirts maybe, and its quite a nice mall to so I've heard
Opry Mills - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hchicky, Your from Nashville rite? Is it OK?
I think Chicky is on the other thread, I haven't seen her in here... at least I don't remember it if I did;)
GOod, you get some shirts and take it easy! Love to your grandma Guy...
Hi Rebby, you know that we care a lot and I am glad that you found this family - glad I found it too for that matter. 'Birds of a feather', so to speak.. and it is good to know that even though geographically apart, there are those that do accept us for who we are and encourage us to not give up, no matter how bad things get sometimes.Quote:

Since meeting all of you I feel that I am a part of a great big wonderful family and it brings joy to my heart, just as much as your emails bring - so don't stop sending them because you bring joy to my often painful days and sincerely hope that when you are here with us, your pain is a little more tolerable too.
Lots of love and hugs,
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_11_7.gif
Good luck on your essay dear and I hope your grandma's surgery comes out well. What type of heart problem does she have, if I may ask. I also hope that your unemployment does not last long.. mine was over 3 years until I finally got my medical retirement - what a pain! I certainly wish you better luck.Quote:

I couldn't have described my experience with this "virtual family" better than you just did! It seems amazing to me how so many with such warmth, found each other. Can't be a coincidence. A "meant to be" thing! I have never gone to a "chat room" and have to admit I read a lot of posts here on this site before ever posting. It was a new venture that seemed a bit intimidating to me in the beginning. I am so glad I did take the step into the family! I feel good when I am on the site, seeing you and others, knowing how much you care. You have been an inspiration to me. Love and Hugs right backatcha!! :pQuote:

Thank you both so much, what you said opened up a window, one I've held shut for many years. Bless both of you, and thank you. There aren't words to tell you how much your words meant to me. :)
Okay, happy time. I sent my book to a friend of mine, she's a graphic artist. She loves it, absolutely adores it, and she's going to work on a few sketches for me to consider.
I'm going shopping for some art supplies today, including a canvass, yes, for a new painting. :)
Thank you all for being my friends, you mean so much to me. :)
I am so proud of you Sweet Alty!! :pQuote:

I agree with rebby that other chatrooms are completely different from this environment.
This is my usual encounter in other chatrooms:
::Sneezy has entered I love Kanye West::
Sneezy: Hi
Girl14124: See my pics here
Guy12313: Want to be bigger, longer? Click ME!
Girl1121: Want to chat? Pay me!
::Sneezy has left I love Kanye West::
I can't wait to see your book alty!
... so... I get an autographed copy, no?
I'm giving it my all, I won't quit, and it's thanks to my friends. Great things, hopefully, I'd settle for good things. :)
You betcha. :)Quote:

Hey Joe. :)
Storms, yuck, sleep, ah, humid, eek. :)
Mini me, hee, hee, that's what I call my daughter. :)
Hi you Joe, nice to see you working hard. I wish I were little cheeks right now... sleeping;)
Hi Alty, how was your day today?
Hey Starty. Today's been good so far. Cleaning day, yuck, but it has to be done, and I'm the only one to do it. :(
How are you today Starty?

Gosh, I didn't know I had a you-know-what.. the last time I looked I was still a woman. To bad gmail is letting things like this happen, so I have decided to mark all mail from gmail as SPAM and will not accept it anymore. So, if any of you have a gmail address, sorry for spamming you, but had to do it to stop receiving so much junk from strangers. I know that you can set your internet security to a higher level, but there are some sites with vital information for me that would not be accepted if I changed the settings.
I have a good firewall and keep my antivirus, antispam programs running every day. It's just that my Yahoo mail does not have a very good spam filter - too bad. Do any of you Yahoo-ers have the same problem?

If I were a good puter friend, I would be able to give you advice. I have windows vista... and I thought you did too? Yes? :) Good luck with the puter... hugs!
Everyone's having puter problems lately. Mine seems to be fine, for now, darnit, now I said something, watch, it will stop...
Still sticking with Windows xp. Not ready for the leap yet.
