Many condolences for Jim (Sparky)
Comments (9)Jim, I too am so sorry to hear of your loss. As one whose only children have all been four legged, I can sooooo relate. The only consolation I've ever found that salves the wound is the realization that the only way to miss the pain is to miss the dance. I've had so many wonderful partners over the years that I'd surely never have wanted to miss that. One of my little pom girls is named Faith. My wife had lost her once in a lifetime dog, another little girl pom named Miss T and I kept telling her that she had to have faith that God would mend her broken heart. I adore Faith but she can't ever be Miss T in my wife's eyes but she did help to heal the pain. Whenever I experience loss or am troubled by all the unfortunate recent circumstances that we see swirling around us, I find comfort in Paul's words in Romans 8:18. Perhaps you will as well. Take care and keep your chin up :-) I don't have any recent roses so here is one of my favs from earlier this year....See MoreNEW: Our Bloomin Friends - Sept. Swap: Show Off Your State

Comments (120)Hi All, I guess I missed all the July weirdness. I'm glad it didn't last too long. I'm for once getting behind on my box! I have stuff, but it is not yet enough, and I am so tired from work! And now the morons scheduled me to work 7 days in a row! I have next Wed. and Thurs. off, so I hope to have it out then. Michelle, Thunder happens during cold storms. The freak snow thing in Oct. here was weird that night because the power went out and all you couls hear was sirens, tree limbs breaking, and thunder. I do hope the coming weather is not as bad as they are making out to be. Maryanne, Lol! I have trouble putting away the crack pipe. I'm so sorry to hear that your neighbor is not just an idiot, but is a real creep!! I'm not sure how I would handle living next to someone like that. I'm glad you like the tomato seeds. I tried to make it as varied an assortment as I could. If anyone else needs tomato seeds, I still have lots of many kinds just let me know what you want in a tomato! No trade neccessary.(Jeanne you can probably guess I'm sending you some: ) ) Julie, Poo Poo Gaslight, lol! In my head I hear that stripping "Boom chicka boom". Change to "Boom caca boom!" Lol, the weird places mind goes. Did you see the post where I wrote that I had received a letter from Jeanette? She did seem ok. T2, "Cuz they fall for the beer-trick, too." Lol! Susie, I got the Japanese Beetles pretty good for the first time last summer! I sure hope that doesn't happen again. Have a good night everyone, Remy...See Moredsimber
