CM, that's funny! My little Charlie-girl must have been dreaming last night too, as she was making these little humming sounds in her sleep, id reach over to pet her, and she'd kick me away as if to say LEAVE ME ALONE, I'M HAVING A NICE DREAM HERE! LOL! I feel the same way, when someone wakes me up in the middle of my fantasy dream with Sean Connery back when he was about 40, yumm Yumm!

The very best sort of dream (if you're a dog) is one where you're snuffling through the undergrowth and you catch a faint scent of a delicious pizza, and as you run up the hill, all four paws twitching busily, you see a person standing there waving a tiny slice of it and calling your name faintly, and as you get to the top of the hill with your nose on full alert and your paws going nineteen to the dozen... you wake up... and it's TRUE!!!

(Very very small slice of pizza, to reassure those concerned about dog welfare).

There are some christians reading and posting on here. To comfort them after the loss of a loved one (because they will understand), I am posting this from another person, not to offend others, not to convert or proselytize, but to encourage those who have been forced to private message due to their beliefs, which may be different than others, I get that.

about 3:00 a.m., I put on the TV and this wonderful program was on and the man was talking about Grief,of all things.It was SO good and I finally got a little answer to one of my big questions....Why are good people taken?...And he said,in the book of Isaiah 57:1-2 ...Good people are taken away,but no one understands.Those who do right are being taken away from evil and are given peace.Those who live as god wants find rest in death.....and he said in Psalm 139:18...All the days you planned for me were written in a book before I was one day old....I mean 139:16 I think and he said that we may be sad down here but they are not sad,they are very happy praising God,they marvel at Heaven...Theyv'e moved on to a better place and some day we will too.Anyway,this man was great and I can't believe I caught it in the middle of the night.It was called "Traveling Light" with Max Lucado.I always love to read Psalm 23.That is so comforting.

A favorite thing from the past. I remember almost every Saturday Mom would give me and my 2 brothers a 50 cent piece to go to the movies, the theater was only 3 blocks away. It was always a double feature. That 50 cent piece got me into the movies, and a coke and a bag of popcorn! She wanted us out of the house but it cost her! ;)

Looking out my window at the wildlife that spends time in the backyard. Groundhogs with babies, squirrels with their young, birds of all kinds and, my favorite, the twin fawns with their Moms, watching the male deer develop their elaborate head gear in the fall is also a treat. We live in a city but have these creatures are here for our enjoyment. I am an animal lover anyway so this is very nice. I have way too many photos of these wonderful creatures. I spend quite a bit of time on the pc as I am scanning old photos to put on disk. I had a large screen TV put on the wall for Mom so she can watch while I work. Andy Griffith, Alfred Hitchcock, Mary Tyler Moore, etc. is playing the background.

Favorite Movie Line - I want to believe the dead are not lost to us, that they speak to us, that they are part of something greater than us, greater than any alien force. If you and I are powerless now, I want to believe if we listen to them speak, they can give us the power to save ourselves. Mulder - Last Episode X-Files

My favorite thing is hearing about my friend walking her cat around the block, and choosing that to do for herself.

Going outside, taking some new pictures of my summer garden, still green mostly, a surprise to me. With just some initial hard work, and regular hand trimming, routine schedule of hand watering, the yard is much less care and looking good this year. Was able to decrease water usage by adding lots of decorative rocks. It is okay.

Hey jingle any money is a win these days,, I agree with Send! And as I get older, a smaller place calls my name,,

Send: I didn't exactly pay off a mortgage, but I did sell a condo that I couldn't afford anyway. So now I can pay my taxes ($15,000) and my CCs and buy a few things, and still keep my little place near Lake Huron.

And re-retain my lawyer, as my ex is still being beastly and petty and unpleasant. Oh well, one step at a time.

Thank you for saying I'm brave. Sometimes I don't feel it at all.

Jingle, hear that change jingling in your pocket? These days, in this economy, we never know if we can sell at all, or lose our homes entirely and be in debt.
It was very brave to proceed and not wait for something worse to happen.
So, good for you for paying off a mortgage! That was a job well done!

Will you have a place to live comfortably?

Yes, I mean $US31 ... (in the absence of an edit button, which I'm sure the AC programmers are working their wee fingers off programming), I mean $31 ONLY...

My favourite thing? In addition to Coffee Crisp chocolate bars (can't get them in the U.S.) ... I sold my condo two days ago! Sold at a loss, but still profited $CAD35,000 (which is equal to abt $US31), but none the less ... never thought it would sell, as the condo market in Ottawa is really "soft".

So yay! Huzzah!!

luckylu: I do remember penny candy and Zotz. One of my all-time favorites were Pixie Stix! Talk about pure (flavored) sugar! I also used to love the Bazooka Bubble Gum with the comics inside. I'm not sure if you're aware, but there is a place called Yummie's (you can Google it and order on-line). They have just about every kind of candy you can imagine (even the ones we used to get - it's a trip down memory lane just viewing all the "stuff". Hope you get a chance to look at it. They may even still have "Bottle-Caps".

A little while ago I tried to get my mother talking by asking her about her favorite candy when she was little. She said they were too poor to buy candy and couldn't remember having any. I, on the other hand, went on a trip down memory lane. Bottle Caps are similar to Sweet tarts I think, I was obsessed with them as a tween. Others I remember are sponge toffee and Macintosh toffee, pixie sticks (remember when the straws were paper?), popeye candy cigarettes (these were popular because we could pretend to smoke them, as I recall they didn't taste like much), black licorice pipes and black licorice nibs, and smarties (these are like m&ms). Oh, and black balls jawbreakers because you could spit them out and see the colours change!
