And in the heart of winter - we share (December 2013 chat)
 

So... how do the holidays find you?

My puppies are comic relief!
~Messy tho...

* If you teach a puppy how to survive, it means that you want to have a thing that can teach you about love and life itself


I can think of no greater gift for Christmas than a little puppy...
So tiny, yet they become strong protectors!

The holidays are a bit sad for me. My family keeps me going . Kids , grandchildren , they are what keep me going . My family , from childhood , are all gone . Memories are all I have left . After a divorce , making a new family , losses in life ... I am thankful for what I have . May all have a merry Christmas ! And may God bless all .

U still have U!

When I really think about all the stuff others care about, and what drives them NUTZ - I realise most of it doesn't matter.

To LIVE WELL is GOOD

~This does not require satellite TV chanellezzz

- and books require no batteries...

EAT

Be WARM and DRY

Be happy


Everything else will sort itself out

UBU

Yes . People get too wrapped up in wants . Too many gadgets and too much gotta haves . If every one took a few steps back , a deep breath , close your eyes for a second .... You can get by just fine with out so much . In the end... you , yours .. life .

Couldn't agree with you more J. The world has a "microwave" state of mind. If you have to work for it, they don't want it. We as a society don't want to wait for things. I used to work three jobs. Thought I needed the money, and now I don't have anything to show for it. I've learned to take time for things that are important. The good Lord and family are at the top! I work one job, and a side job here and there, and I am in better financial shape than ever. Not loaded at all, but bills get paid and we have some wants that we get. I can lay down at night and know what's going on with my family and be happy with my day.

After my big loses I focused on ME, I got into church, finally moved to be closer to my family, away from those who made me miserable, now I am just surviving.
Yep, watching the black Friday reports, boy aren't we in a buy up junk to be happy society, not left the house, nope, no shopping, even tho a camera I want has the price cut 70%, still not enough to get out with those nutz.
My bills are paid, got gas in the tank, that seems to be enough for me.

Good Monday morning! It looks as though most have survived the Thanksgiving gorging and are waxing philosophical. What an excellent way to begin the month of December: being thankful for who and what you have, and content with where you are at this point in your life. Very nice.

I hope everyone has a great day and a better week!

I think I can get some pictures up of the little fellas - next door is a guy who originally corralled Woola, and he took a lot of pics with his cell phone.

They were funny tonight. I finally got a tip-proof dish and they all stuck their faces in it in a big feeding fest...
I'm making some hard spending choices too - I will go with a 3 - 20 PSI Carter fuel pump, and hope the factory regulator is still alive in the Suzu.

"BINGO!" fuel pressure is 11 psi, I hope I can put off getting a regulator and gauge for just a bit longer. A regulator will make it adjustable if the factory reg is toast - it will run anyway!
*Unless the original quits closed

I was going to put a fuel filter inside the tank too, but no. I want all of it outside where I can get at any part that fails

The biggest problem with DELL PC's is that they subcontract through a government controlled company in Kowloon Province named Hung Yu Up LLC

* Too bad no one makes diapers that fit puppies

(you have no idea how many reboots it took to say that)


STUBBORNESS is an AMERICAN VIRTUE

Now that there is funny... Hung Yu Up ....

I first realised the puppies could see me when they followed me with their eyes around the pen.

What was wonderful was when they began to wag their tails - the smallest female did that first

It meant that they cared...

They had begun to express love!

It said: "Come and play with me...", it had nothing to do with food and water

They are four weeks old now, and stand on their own paws!!!

FUZZY ANGELS


They remind me of love and fun
~Silly little fuzzinessezzz...

I play with them as much as I can
