Awesome!

Yes! Little and BIG Monkey Pigs! Once one of them even had wings which totally terrified me because it reminded me of the Flying Monkeys in the Wizard Of Oz which also terrified me when I was but a child. I think this was when the door in my mind opened to the Monkey Pigs coming in. I thought I had learned to shut that trap door in the Advanced Class, but after seeing that Human Dog I think they came back in because I dreamed of it again just last night! Aahhh shoot! One just flew in the frickin window! You.....get...Ooooww!...One just bit me! S**t!....you get the hell-oowww!...Okay, it flew back out. It must have known I was telling on him. Damn I hate those things. And all because of that dog head on the human photo!

It's gone!!!!!!!!

Shellon,

It seems to me, in reading your story, that the choices made for you weren't the best, but the ones you have made on your own have strengthened you.

We all walk this earth making decisions, and the influences of other people may help or hinder us. I can see that you have grown to understand your right to make your own decisions, and they always will be the best for you, and no one can judge you on them.

Keep on truckin', girl, and I am positive you will be a winner!

You inspire me.

Wasn't there, but did go to Altamont, Woodstock west, in CA in December.

Didn't see the Rolling Stones, or the murder, but did hear some good tunes by the Jefferson Airplane.

It was the break in the pfal class that we were taking for the first time, and we got stoned on LSD. Very interesting.

They are all still in the Nashville area.

Kit,

You and Fred are in our prayers.

Happy Happy to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope it is a great one!

Aquilla is having an endoscopy on Friday.

Would appreciate you praying that all goes well.

Thanks all for your sweet wishes. I did have an awesome birthday, we got rain, which is what I wanted as a present.

Tracy

Mark,

What great news. I will continue to pray for your Mom, and her restored health.

She was always a very energetic woman, and my prayer is that she will regain all of her energy!

Tracy

Bless you Mark,

I just saw this today, and want you to know that I am praying for your Mom.

I had the joy of meeting her and working with her many years ago at a charity event.

She is a gracious and beautiful woman, and she did bless my life.

Also praying for you and the things you will be dealing with as you help her recover.

Tracy

We didn't get much snow here in Knoxville, just flurries! I really wanted snow!

Oh well, I had the bread and milk anyway...lol

Happy Birthday dear friend! Dance the day and nite away!!

One thing you all have to remember is that the Dow is only 30 stocks.

There is so much more to investing than that.

You have to decide your risk tolerance, and indeed, if you really want to buy individual stocks or mutual funds.

Also, think about the future, investing for the long run.

Aquilla has been investing for us since "82, and we have done very well.

Last year we beat the market, because he spends a lot of time on research,and does not panic when things look down.

Also, he does put his trust in God, and also pays attention to his own gut(and mine)when decisions need to be made.

I guess what I am saying is a day, a week, or a month does not a market make!

Do your research, and trust your own self, knowing that God is our sufficiency. That is our philosophy.

Our first cat was named Magnolia Thunder ***** after an ice cream store of the same name in San Francisco.

We called him Thunder, because even as a kitten he thundered around the house.

We also had a black Lab called Shadow Underfoot, because that's what he did, shadow you and get under your feet!

Then we had Ploom who was a Maine Coon. She was named for a puppet on an old TV show called Monte Carlo, she liked to run across the top of the sofa like the puppet did.

Now we have Saucy, who is!

She is a very sweet long haired diluted Tortishell (sp) kitty who weighs 13#'s.

She sleeps with us, and loves to give kisses.

Actually, that is why I rescued her at the pound.

I picked her up and she started licking my cheek, she had me at first lick!

. . . Florence was Steve , Richard and Michael's mother. She was a widow, and had been for a while when her sons got involved.

She lived in a lovely home in Sausalito with a great view of SF.

. . .

Elaine was her sister-in law, they married brothers.

Hope this clears things up.

My heart is saddened to hear this.

Flornce was a very gracious and loving woman.

There were many times that she would open her home to us young belivers, and alllow

fellowships and classes to be run there.

She was truly a gem, and I know will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathies to her sons, Steve, Richard and Michael.

Actually, the young man who died was Garry Donhoff.

He was a good friend of mine, and a sweet , honest believer.

He got in the word in Mill Valley with Jim Doop.

Garry's life did bless many people, and it was a sad day when he was killed.

A few of us from Mill Valley, along with D*l D*ncan met his parents at the airport when they came back from Ohio with his ashes.

What a sad time.

I believe it was 1975, but my memory is a bit shakey on dates.

Anyway,just wanted to clear that up.
