    Couldn't install my old smileys, so I guess 'WE' are going to try out some new ones. Too bad, because I really liked my 'grandma' smiley.

    But life goes on and I will make due with what's available.. it might take me some time to find my favorites, so have patience with me.

    I think that there may be one or two more coming Chery... time for the rest to go. I will send more in the next day or two...

    Thanks for letting me know that you received them Chery.

    Marta is loving it... she is really getting into it... some of the classes are requiring a lot of study time... but she's a smarteeeeee and she will do fine. She is always coming to me and telling me what they covered that day... I am proud of her too.

    Stringer

    EDIT: Thank you Firm... yes I (we) are doing fine...

    Firmy! Nice to see you, at least for a moment.

    Chery, I love hearing about you and your "free" time with your daughter and grandson;)

    I think you know my story about my Dad and how he was/is my hero. From my personal experience with cancer, I have a "history" with the thing.

    Every time you post, you touch my heart. Every time you give a little smiley, you make me smile. Every quote, every encouragement, every sarcastic comment, you inspire me. Chery, you, my dear, are priceless; a work of rare beauty.

    I've often found myself fascinated by mosaic portraits and have come to the conclusion that it is because life is a mosaic. We are mosaic. Some of the most beautiful works of art are simply broken pieces of glass, pottery, wood, metal... in keeping with this, some of the most memorable people are those that are broken, put back together, simply holding on to life by the threads, and yet still walking, still singing, and still thriving.

    You, Chery, don't simply survive... you thrive. You make every day, every post, every moment a chance to better your world and the world of those around you.

    You are an inspiration to goodness, my favorite mosaic.

    Much, much Chicky love from me just for you. :)

    You said you loved Anastasia Momma C. You told me that you liked sound tracks right before you said Anastasia, so now I'm not sure if you meant the movie or the singer Anastacia. Here's two 'songs 'o the day' anyway! Both nice! :D

    Did you receive mine C Momma? I hope they haven't lost it, that'd be so frustrating... :(

    Nope, honey, not yet. Maybe it's on a slow boat to China first, it will eventually get here though, I'm sure. Will let you know as soon as it arrives.
    After all, you're the first person I asked to send me one.. it just has to get here!

    Dearest Historian Chick.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful words. I just love mosaics and used to do window-colors in tiffany style and give them to all my neighbors and family on holidays.

    They still have them in their windows and I enjoy walking by and seeing that my time and effort was appreciated. Throughout all my time in elementary school when I was not allowed to partake in sports due to my fibromyalgia, I spent my time with my arts teacher who was such a wonderful person with a great imagination. She taught me how to do pictures in charcoal, pencil, and then oils, and mirages of all sorts, and I have loved all art since then. I even charcoaled a portrait of her and her new husband for her as a wedding gift. (She even invited me of all her students to her wedding). I guess she knew all along that I was abused at home and needed a role-model - and she was one of the best I remember. So, every time I was distressed, I escaped to art of any kind to confirm that there is beauty in life, no matter how hard it gets or how painful my hands felt afterwards - it was worth it. Now I do art on my computer by creating coloring books in PDF format and send them out. Unfortunately, all these are on my other computer and I have to burn them on CDs and ask my daughter to send copies when she has time because the books got too big to send via email. So she will have her work cut out for her as I will give her a lift of people to burn CD for - and naturally print them all out for Alexander to color. He'll never need a coloring book from any store and I hope he likes what his Oma left him as an inspiration.

    Here I am, going on and on.. my medication is working on me and gets my mind remembering a lot of good times.

    Yes, dear, I do thrive... but it's because of wonderful people like you and others on AMHD and the love of my little family. I am so grateful that I signed on to this site because it has helped me through many phases in these last years and I hope that I was able to help a few people too who took the time to read and get to know me.

    And, I would just love to have a postcard from Tampa.. or anywhere for that matter, as long as it's from you, my friend.

    Too bad I lost my original smileys program, but I'll try and make due with the one that is available now...

    Thanks again, dear.. and talk to you later..

    Starby, this one's for you. Just light a candle and I'll be there any time!

    YouTube - Anastacia - You'll Never Be Alone

    Sometimes I wish I could still drive. Can just imagine renting a Jaguar and going for a fast ride for the last time. I love the one I had for a year - too expensive to get repairs done on them though.

    The, there is the one for the dude who didn't get the special package on his birthday...

    YouTube - Anastacia - Why'd You Lie To Me

    Gee. Maybe he walked into some boxing gloves (inside joke).

    Love you!

    Hahahahahaha! ::dude walking out to check mail:: KABOOOOOOM!

    Thanks Momma C!. you just made my week! :D :D

    I'm going to light those green apple candles, and sit and burn an entire CD of Anastacia and think of you every time I feel stressed. I don't even need a match. Your heart will light those candles for me! Uhmmm, exactly how did you know that butterflies have a very special meaning to me? Thank you, I really needed that! Big Big Huge Hugs and Kisses for you!

    It's too bad we couldn't pick up and go Thelma and Louise style in a Jag convertible, and just blast our music! ;)

    Starby...

    We 'three' can always imagine the fun we would have had.. every time we listen to the tunes we share and like. I did't know about the butterflies, but just let my stomach and heart pick something for you. Glad I still got that 'gut feeling' steering me in the right direction.

    For tonight, I'll just... for a while. C.U. tomorrow!

    Chery... Jaguar was purchased by Ford. It took them 4 years trying to turn it into a Taurus. It worked and they destroyed the Jaguar. Then they sold it... nice huh? So if you got a new one... it wouldn't be the same... so you didn't miss anything... :rolleyes:

    Stringy? Does that mean I shouldn't have sold my Taurus? Considering the age of it, it might have been a collectors item now... I could have passed it off as a Jag! LMAO!
