I wonder if our tree will stay up this time....*grin

I wonder how lovely it is to hang the decorations...lots of memories....new and old ones...

I wonder if it will warm up anytime soon...it's 13 degrees with a strong wind....

I wonder if BJ can feel our love this Christmas and always...heal, please...

I wonder if wren is getting a tree and settling in....

I wonder if moi will hold moss extra tight and tell her how much she means to us....now, and always.

I wonder if Mistiis knows how grateful I am that she found her way back to us.....

I wonder if Lara will tell us where she went and what she did cause wondering minds want to know....

I wonder if Sue will pop in and say "hi"....

I wonder if Addy hears from Sue...or if Lara does...

I wonder if Cheryl is feeling any relief in that shoulder...

I wonder how Tammi is....and if Twink is baking....

I wonder if Doody is really going to come this next year...

I wonder always at the many talents Scrabble has....

I wonder if BMW and her sis will have a whole bunch of fun...

I wonder about Katy...and wish...nice to see Kell posting...

I wonder what sort of weather Anne is having and how her dear hubby is mending?..

I wonder why hippiechick clammed up.....*grin

I wonder if I can leave Doxie a hug....

I wonder who I forgot...

[Lara]

I also wonder a lot when I am putting up the decorations on the xmas tree. I think of da duck especially when doing that. Always. My decorations are no-where near as precious.

I wonder if I can blow some hot weather over to places where it's so cold. I have tried it before and it didn't work though, I have to tell you.

I wonder if I can explain that "gone walkabout" doesn't really mean "I've gone on an extensive hiking trip". "Going walkabout" is a little difficult to explain but I'll try... it's a bit like taking time to reflect and to remove oneself from one place to another. I *think* it was originally used by European settlers in Australia to describe our indigenous folk who sometimes found that they needed time away alone with the earth and nature to refresh and transition.

I wonder if I can tell you without too much detail that lots of it was beautiful and special but it was quite a frugal and difficult time in many ways. However, it was good for me. I totally enjoyed so much of my time away, but it was hard. I had no reception for internet of course or I would have called in here and contacted my friends. I also had to rely on other people to assist me - something I'm not very good at doing! I guess at times it felt a bit like "going on retreat" in a stone hut in the Himalayas except it wasn't that cold. LOL

I wonder if Addy hears from Sue...or if Lara does...

Sadly, no. She's always in my heart though.

I wonder if everyone knows yet that I am on very limited internet access. I've spent a long time the past few days trying to catch up with everyone I know, but it's barely possible sadly. I was also shocked to go to PubMed for the first time in about a year or maybe even a year and a half (?), and I could never get on top of all the research I used to keep up with. My days are done with that sadly.

I wonder if all those scientists I tried to read tonight realize that if they're still spending all those freaking research dollars and getting nowhere then it may be best to spend those dollars doing something else... like education and suggesting methods to eleviate problems which may arise from certain conditions as they unfold. It might also be helpful to spend some time in helping whole families as well as the "patients" and especially in educating teachers and doctors and the general population. <sigh>

I wonder that it's going to be another hot day here tomorrow. I think it was 30C today already and it's not far into our summer yet. (that technically started on 1st of December for us) We have some new political party here just started up trying to move my state into daylight saving time in line with all the other eastern seaboard states. Frankly I don't really want to be waking up at 3.45 am with the sun streaming in my windows... Our days are so long and hot.

Well, I wonder if I've vented enough. LOL sorrrrrry.

[da duck]

I wonder if Lara knows that we put up the tree on Sunday and, as always, I thought of her.
I wonder that, for the first time in ten years, I didn't put up the tree and miss my beloved goofball...but I watched my son decorate, sipped my hot chocolate, listened to the music and sang some of the songs...and missed him. I wonder if he knows that, for the first time since he has been gone, putting up the tree made me smile.

I wonder how Doody is doing and if Alffe has this snow and ice...and how confusing it would be to me to have Christmas in the summer. LOL.

I wonder how well I know how hard this time of year is for so many, and how I wish for everyone peace and a moment of joy.

for everyone

[Alffe]

I wonder if Lara knows that I was especially sorry to read about PubMed..we always counted on you to keep us abreast on so many subjects....*whisper...I'm also a little lazy

I wonder if I'd feel comfortable enough in my own skin to go "walkabout"...*grin

I wonder, now that it's finally light outside the temp. is droping!

I wonder if people remember worrying about whether or not their cars would start on a cold morning....

I wonder if duck knows that he's up there grinning at you!

[Doody]

I wonder why I didn't catch it when ((Lara)) first went on her 'walkabout'.

I had a boss a few years ago from Ireland and she also lived a long time in London. Every time she left the office, she would say she was going on a 'walkabout'.

I wonder how good it is to read that Ducky enjoyed putting up her tree this year.

I wonder if she and I are reversing because for whatever reason, I am not in a Christmas mood this year and hated putting up my tree! Me! The one who always goes on and on about how wonderful the holidays are.

I wonder how ((BJ's)) pain level is each day.

I wonder if (((Reyn))) knows that she's been on my mind. Much love to you, Reyn. Keep those precious babies Emma and Annabelle close.

I wonder at what a monster depression is.

[tovaxin_lab_rat]

I wonder if I can tell you all that I had an mri of my shoulder yesterday and I see the ortho doc tomorrow. Answers may help.

[mistiis]

I wonder if I can tell Avgirl if she needs any help, to call, I have had two major shoulder surgeries, and have one that needs replacing. Keep us updated on your results...I am thinking about you...I know how NOT fun it is....

I wonder if I can tell Lara how wonderful I think it was for her to be able to go on her 'walkabout' and can't wait for insights... I spent some time on a walkabout in India...

I wonder if I can tell Scrabble thank you *grin

I, too, wonder about the memories on the Christmas tree. And at how hard it is for some this season, and others who are experiencing healing, and joy....I hope this will offer hope to those who are struggling....

I wonder how (((BJ))) is coming along...

I wonder if our dear (((BMW))) is on the road yet...praying for your safety....

I wonder at how precious (((Wren))) is

I wonder how happy I am to see (((doxiemama))) back

I wonder how my heart jumped to see (((Alffe))) *grin wonder if I can give her a great big warm fuzzy

I wonder how (((Curious))) hand is healing....and (((goofy's))) wrist....

I wonder if (((da duck))) son like the Christmas tree and music

I wonder what the weather is like where (((cayokay))) is

I wonder if (((Koala))) is taking care of herself...and if her DH is feeling better

I wonder at how cute (((Bizi))) new avatar is...

I wonder how (((coolangel))) is doing...I wonder if she is extra busy this season

I wonder how (((BF))) is feeling....

I wonder about (((hippiechick))) and if she has a tree for Christmas...I wonder if she has heard from her son...

I wonder how dear (((Doody, Doodydaughter, Otto))) are doing, and if I can tell her they are in my prayers....

I wonder what (((megveg))) is up to...

I wonder if (((NIkki))) is getting some much needed rest, and pain relief...

I wonder if (((Moi))) can hear ~sigh yet, and how much we are praying for him and ((Moss)) and those (((grandmoisses)))

I wonder if (((cok))) will come back and wonder with us

I wonder if (((David))) can feel our hugs light up the darkness

I wonder that we are all weaving.....tapestry.....beautiful Moi...I love that thread...

I wonder if dear (((reyn))) will hang on...for the love and joy that is in her future....luv u dear one....always, and forever...

I wonder how wise (((Addy))) is and when she will share more with us....

Gosh....I wonder if I forgot someone....if I did, know that you are still in my prayers

Oh, yes, dear sweet (((pono)))....my inspiration....
I wonder how it will come out with her friend *grin I am hoping and praying for the best......

Ok....running to get some of BMW's chocolate before it is all gone.....................................

[Doody]

I wonder how ((Flygirl's)) shoulder came to start hurting. I had shoulder surgery on the right shoulder a couple of years ago for a badly torn rotator cuff. Pain was awful and surgery a long recoup time. I pray for them to find an answer for you lady!

I wonder if ((BJ)) is in la-la land on her meds.

I wonder how people like ((Mistiis)) remembers all the names.

I wonder if Reyn will come back.

I wonder why Bruna has such stinky breath tonight. She's sitting on my lap and insists on kissing me periodically. Better get out her Dora toothbrush tonight! I've been remiss on brushing her toofies for 3 days now.

I wonder at how much I enjoyed the mail from ((Koala)) and ((Scrabble)).

[tamiloo]

I wonder how great the holiday season can be.

I wonder how Lara is doing on her walkabout…taking time to reflect…sounds good.

I wonder how great it was for da duck to decorate the tree...must be beautiful…

I wonder how everyone’s snowy or icy or sunny days are?

I wonder whose address I don’t have so I can send a Christmas card to them...just pm me if you please...

I also wonder about hugs…always hugs!

[da duck]

I wonder how I have spent years trying not to cry while decorating the tree...to the point that the Kid has several times asked if it would be better if we didn't HAVE a tree. But he loves the tree and his special ornament ( his first Christmas one) and the lights. He puts the star on the top and picks out the music. These are traditions that started with his Dad, and are hard for me to continue. But this year I tried not to let my sadness dampen his joy and it was finally rewarded. It was a bittersweet afternoon, but a good one. He gets to be more like his Dad all the time...
I wonder that I wonder about all the shoulder and wrist injuries....makes me cringe. LOL. I am afraid of pain.
I wonder that I finally did some Christmas shopping, and that I feel better about that now too.

Oops....gotta go. I hear the Wii and that means the Kid is stalking about.
