Wonderful WONDER Thread #230
 

I wondered if I should start the next wonder thread as I watched Wonder #229 disappear to the next page!

I wonder if my car will "pass" Air Care today (since I moved back to the city, I'd forgotten we had to pay for this service... AND if the car fails, you can't purchase insurance and therefore can't drive until the car is fixed!) (Newer cars don't have to go thru this testing because they are designed to be cleaner...!)

I wonder why its ALWAYS the guy with little money who seems to pay out the most... after all, if I were rich, I'd simply buy a new car!

I wonder at how much I have learned from participating in this forum ... and how much I appreciate newer friendships (wren, melody, waves, Tom et al) and opportunity to grow! And those friends like Wish, Curious, mistiss, Niki... so many more ... BMW, Dottie... Doodysis... who always check in with us... ok... must stop naming names cuz I ALWAYS forget my people's names... but YOU know who you are! :grouphug:

I wonder if Alffe is finished her papering!

I wonder about Lara and the Mois and Reyn and scrabble and well, so many of us ... and whenever I hear from them, I feel our family is ok.... so, thanks, Alffe, for passing on your news about Lara!

I wonder how Goofy is holding up these days (isn't it amazing and then shocking how many times we think to pick up the phone to call our moms... :hug: )

I wonder if Ducky knows I really am amazed at her strength (altho she might not think its so!) as she continues her battle against tobacco addiction...

I wonder about David's son... and whether or not he's reached back to his family...

I wonder at how a beautiful little girl, my grandaughter, has brought together my sons...

I wonder at how she has become my purpose for being...

:sing: Addy

Hello, Addy:

I wonder if two, apparently unrelated things are related:

First, a thought of Petr: "A suicidal thought is NOT initiated by the mind as a way to harm the person.
It is initiated by the mind as a misguided attempt to protect the person. By understanding its intent you will be able to redirect it with self esteem and self love in place...fear will not be able to stimulate the negative cascading psysiological affects that make so many of us tire to the point of accepting suicide as the solution." Something that is originally meant to be helpful, then, becomes misdirected.

And second, apparently one cause of neurological diseases is that antibodies, which the body produced to fight diseases ("good"), somehow become misdirected and attack neuro fibers ("bad").

In such cases, could a suicidal thought sometimes be the representation in consciousness of what is happening on the physical level? If that is so, then it would seem that solving the antibody problem would redirect the suicidal tendency as well.

I wonder...

Tom

I wonder if I can check-in tonight - hi Addy :Wave-Hello:

I wonder if i can say it is a rough one. Been a rough week and was hoping today would be better, now that it's over with.

I wonder if I can also mention that Alffe's Trout thread - the poem afterwards, really affected me. . . and I definitely need to work on *me* more often, maybe it is finally time I call someone for that extra help I need - especially with Oct/Nov coming up - my worst times of the year.

I wonder if you all remember a time when your lives were in transition and everything felt so crazy, thats me right now. I don't know where I am anymore now that school is done.... and I am grasping for it to return so scared of the extra free time and the unknown.

I wonder if Tom knows he reminded me of Pter, and now I am wondering... what would Pter say? Maybe it is time to revisit to the wise words stickied at the top of the forum?

I wonder how the others are doing that aren't having it so easy right about now: lonely, megveg, goofy, jaded, lara, reyn,....

I wonder about life and the fairness of it all. I meet so many people with such awful stories and horrendous childhoods and I wonder.... why are our lives so unbalanced? Those of us given an unfair amount of pain and hurt.... why is it? Is it to make us stronger? To make us better people? Or is it just because we can handle it already? Or is it just the way it is? *sigh

I wonder about Melody's coins - and her hand sanitizer. And how I already always look at the floor, but never see any coins - but maybe now I will? I wonder if she also dreams about her Elaine and dad like I dream about my Lucy and my mom so often?

I wonder if its okay if I say its been kinda lonely lately for me, I hope this week is so much better. I hope I actually get to read some good books this week, such a reward after so much stress. . . already started "The Prophet" which as you can see, has already dug up a bunch of philosophical questions for me.

:grouphug:

hmm
I wonder what my "shrink" will tell me with my "check in" tomorrow
I wonder if/when the new meds will kick in
I wonder if fedex will deliver my scs parts that were to be here last Sat tomorrow
I wonder if i shouldve had my nerve bock friday when i was in lincoln
I wonder when sleep will come
I wonder why we must all suffer through all of this stuff...

I wonder if Poo knows that I have such empathy for what she is going through..waiting has never been my strong suit, but waiting while in great pain is beyond comprehension....gentle hug...:hug:

I wonder if Fed Ex will deliver it today..Monday ..and if it will help as "promised"....:grouphug:

I wonder if Addy is still singing with her group or has that changed since the move???

I wonder how nice and peaceful it was to take a boat ride and watch the sunset on that small lake....

I wonder at all the herons we saw....

I wonder what my old friend is so depressed about...she suggested we take a walk and I think she would have told me had our dear husbands not invited themselves along....:rolleyes:

I wonder if Wish has read Every Last One by Anna Quindlen, or The Help by Kahryn Stockett, or Still Alice...can't remember that author but I LOVED that book.....

I wonder if the archives of Brain Talk are forever lost to us...that's where Pters wonderful posts are...the few emails I have saved from him are about his thoughts on Michaels suicide...I treasure them but they would not be helpful here....I do remember one wonderful post about him being locked in battle with the beast of depression and how exhausted he was after "winning" once again....:grouphug:

I wonder if his daughter "Sue" still reads here....:hug:

I wonder at the busy week I have ahead of me..

I wonder why it all happens at once...:cool:

I wonder if i can do a fly by and tell everybody thank you for wondering about me. I've been down with pnumonia these past couple weeks.

I wonder too if i can tell you i'm still very sad and depressed. I still have nightmares about finding my mom. Not as often but still do.

I wonder if i can leave a :hug: I think about you guys alot and lurk occasionally.

Goofy
 

YOU need a hug Goofy (((Goofy))). Love, Barbo

I wonder at how lucky I am that my car passed AirCare!.... gotta love Hondas :) ... so I treated myself to some shopping!

I wonder if it will help to let you know, dear Goofy, that what you are experiencing is all part of loosing your loving mom :Heart: ... your resistance to getting sick is not working cuz all your mental energies and that darn demon are draining you... I sure hope you are able to rest as much as you need right now... share your burden :hug:

I wonder if I'll ever go back to singing the way I used to, thanks for asking Alffe. Since my Mom's death, I haven't been able to focus on the music so I'm being easy on myself and won't go back yet... instead, I'm visiting rehearsals and go to all the social events and shows.

I wonder, dear Wish, if you know that I read the Prophet for the first time when I was 16. I received it as a high school graduation gift. Here I am 40 years later and I still turn to that book for words when I can't find them....

I wonder if pooh's meds have kicked in yet... :hug: and I also wonder what scs is?

I wonder if Barbo knows how good it makes me feel to know she's always here ... and that her and Alffe are such good friends :grouphug:

I wonder that there should be a way to access old braintalk....

I wonder if I could read old braintalk, would I :sing: "You've come a long way, Baby! to get to where you got to today..." or something like that.... ?

I wonder if Addy will read this link..http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread114142.html

I wonder if poo got that pkg yet....:hug:

I wonder if our anticipated company will view the menu as comfort food
or old folks food.....same thing?? :D

I wonder why Cassie is limping...she wasn't when she came to bed...:confused:

I wonder if I can tell Goofy how much I appreciated the hug and am returning one...:hug:

I wonder at how sweet Mr.Alffe is to bring me my coffee in the morning..:Heart:

I wonder why Tom hasn't started a thread here....:cool:

i wonder if i can leave a hello for everyone... and a hug :hug:

i wonder if i can say i feel so strange lately... maybe it is the meds working... i feel better at times, and then poof, i feel awful again... i guess it's no wonder i feel disoriented :confused:

i wonder if i can say hand sanitizers became all the rage here and i never "got" the concept of smearing a disinfectant gel on my hands ... to produce a layer of "clean dirt" on them? :rolleyes: i wonder if the folks marketing this stuff can spell o-x-y-m-o-r-o-n?

i wonder how nice it felt to see Addy wondering about me... :hug:

i wonder if Goofy takes Vitamin B supplements... i wonder if she knows that, when we are under stress for any reason (including grief, depression, illness) our body uses more B vitamins than usual... a balanced complex might be helpful...

i really wonder if i killed the other wonder thread since nobody wondered after me...

i wonder if i can tiptoe away for now before i get to feeling too awkward

~ waves ~

I wonder if I've often thought that when I'm the last to post on a Wonder thread, dear (((waves))) ... and then I remember that the last wonder thread ended at a time when we were all rallying and conversing on other subjects... wonder threads often drop off the radar when the forum is "busy"...

I wonder if you know, waves, that its an old habit of ours to try and close the wonder thread after 3 pages... that's when the "Thread Police" usually come in and close the thread... our dear BMW (marshallow) friend usually puts on her thread police disguise and does this job... and she's going thru a tough time right now so hasn't been with us much ...

I wonder if that's enough of an explanation... lol...

I was wondering where you were, waves... :hug:
and where is our :Mexican: and Lonely1...

I wonder if I shall now rejoice that there is sunshine on my patio and its time to hang the clothes out to dry!

:sing: Addy

I wonder if I can do a fly by hi to all!!! :Wave-Hello:

I wonder that it's been a looooooooong time since I've wondered...

I wonder about this crazy weather... 90's one day then 70's the next then back into the 90's.

I wonder at the construction going on around here... where a window once was is now a door... new doors with fancy windows in them... so no curtains to close off from anyone looking in... makes me really uncomfortable.

I wonder if anyone saw the beautiful full harvest moon tonight???

I wonder if we will get the pretty fall colors around here... weather people around here are saying that we probably will not because of the weather we had in August.... wish I could remember what it was like... :confused:

I'm going to wander on through now my brain is drained.

wonder that friend cane threw brain surgery most of tumor out :) and is back home . wonder that they sent biopsy to Harvard . Wonder that I am praying the radiation and possibly chemo kill it .

Wonder that I am trying to get my best dear friend to come for visit ..alone without kids . She has about year before alz hits her big time even with the meds . Wonder that she is only turning 43 . WONDER how fantastic it will be to talk her into a 5-7- day visit .

Wonder on the moon last night and feel need to Howl to those fellow Luna-Tics even tho it is mid day and very sunny out . :rolleyes:

Wonder that I will try to shut the lights out when we flip to page three. sometimes things take a back seat. but not on purpose :grouphug:

Wonder on and on about the world and the things in it , the things that happen .. or don't happen . wonder on prayers and hugs to the room the readers and those on the sidelines .
PEACE
BMW

I wonder how glad I am to hear the BMW's friend came through her surgery and they got most of the tumor out...sending positive thoughts and prayers her way....and your way dear lady..:hug:

I wonder how happy I was to "see" Abbie posting and wish I could have seen that moon last night but it wasn't shinning here...

I wonder how nice it was of my neighbor (former neighbor) to bring me flowers this morning when we met at Micky D's....

I wonder why they started calling it Micky D's.....:confused:

I wonder how much I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends tonight, am cooking up a storm and having fun...:D

I wonder if Ducky needs a QUACK! :hug:

I wonder if our Marshmallow friends knows how good it is to hear her wonders...

I wonder at how screwed up government procedures are... sigh... that's all I'm going to say about that.

I wonder why it feels like money issues are again starting to creep their way back into my world... and more than that, I wonder if I have what it takes to beat it down... ( really, I think I do have it!!! )

I wonder how you're doing waves?

:sing: Addy

I wonder where everyone is ..............

Ya, Wren... :hug: I was wondering that, too.... guess we're all settling in the change in season...

I wonder if you know we call it Mickey D's here in Canada, too... :D

I wonder how good it feels to create ... right now I'm creating photo/music montages (great-nephew turning 1 - and one for Grand-Addy for Christmas) ... la la la la la

I wonder if anyone could share with me, their favourite song(s) about children... as I'm running out of ideas... so far, over the years, I've used "Let Them Be Little"... and "Baby Mine".... boy or girl... I would love some more ideas... my sis and I have grandkids and this is how we tell their life stories :)

I wonder how I am looking forward to a day with my Grand-Addy tomorrow!

:grouphug:

*Waves at Wren.

I wonder that this weather has the fibro kicked into full gear and I spend many hours wrapped up in warm blankets.

I wonder about the beautiful hawk that sits on the lamp post on the outskirts of town...nearly every day. And once I pass it I look in the rearview mirror and he takes off.

I wonder at how my brain skips abruptly from thought to thought. :o

I wonder how dear duck is doing. Almost dialed her up the other day but, you just never know about her schedule. Sleeping? Working?

I wonder at how exhausting continuous anxiety can be. :rolleyes:

I wonder at how much I love my blankie from Dottie...especially when I ache so much.

I wonder that I often wear my t-shirt to bed that says on the front..."Somebody in Kentucky Loves Me".

I wonder at how lovely it sounds to be on a lake in a boat. But, I wonder also at how I often have to stop my thoughts of that special beach and the Atlantic that I literally yearn for....for sanity sake! It hurts not to be there! That's how much I yearn for it. :)

I've seen the moon over the Pacific...I yearn to also see it over the Atlantic. But then, BMW sis knows how I love the moon anywhere. :wink:

I wonder what I'll do to entertain myself tonight. Probably wrap up in a hot blankie, lol.

Hugs to the room.

P.S. What the heck is up with the word 'yearn'? ROFL!

I wonder that I just noticed that the movie, and true story, about Temple Grandin is out on video and also at Redbox (my favorite movie rental place). I highly recommend the movie. Touching, entertaining, and amazing account of an autistic child through her adulthood. (She was honored recently at one of those Hollywood award shows).

Addy.................i love that idea of putting photos to music [Ive tried on windows movie maker great fun...and can be quite an emotional production upon completion

My Niece is called Yolanda [after Stevie Wonders Wife]

the song below captures joy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVvkjuEAwgU


The below song would be nice for a little boy.....especially if he is a daddies boy..........[in years to come the song will mean so much more to them.........believe me]

David

please see PM

I wonder at the overwhelming emotion I feel when I finish one of my videos... during the week or so that I'm working on it, I hardly take care of things including eating... I'm so obsessed and "into" my project... God, its my absolute passion...

I wonder why, in knowing this, I can't give myself over to trying to market myself and building something out of the love I for putting together people's lives with photos and music...

I wonder if you've ever used powerpoint, David, and if so, do you know they can now be transferred to DVD....? My first videos, almost 10 years ago, were all made on Powerpoint then I discovered PhotoStory3 ... but it has limitations... as does Windows Moviemaker. I love to time the pictures to the nano-second to match the words in the songs....

I wonder if I should be working on my photo project now...!

I LOVE the Stevie Wonder song and will be using it for my grandaughter's video and will share with you all one day :)

:sing: Addy

I wonder if Addy can get a copy of the Disney Babies Lullaby CD....It was given to me when Scott was born 20 years ago. Has some really cute kids songs on it. :hug:

i wonder how these wonder threads are almost like check-in threads... or what's happenin' places...

i wonder if i can just say my anxiety has billowed back into existence and i am struggling with med tweaks to get a handle on it

i wonder if that is why it has been harder for me to post.

i wonder if it will help i have been much more active, even though i have to really drag myself through it all - going out - handling phone - cleaning - cooking - this n that.

i don't wonder how i manage, i am only grateful that is the case...

i wonder if i can leave hugs for all of you :grouphug:

i wonder how beautiful that moon was when it was full, i saw it on the 23rd but it was just close... i think it was properly full tonight for me as i am across the sea... i am glad many of you saw it... :)

i wonder about the little creatures that make the buzzing creaking whizzing scuttling noises in the tall grass and undergrowth at a certain bus stop... i wonder why you never see them... i wonder how comforting it is to hear them but not see them... i wonder if we each feel safe from the other this way, yet not alone. :o

~ waves ~ a certified Luna-Tic ;)

I wonder if I can stop by to say hello.

I wonder if I can thank Addy for wondering about me. :hug:

I wonder if I can tell you that I'm still here, for whatever that's worth.

I wonder why work is so hard for me, so much to do, and all I want to do is go home.

I wonder why I don't feel any better when I get home.

I wonder where people get their motivation from, and why I can't have any.

I wonder if anyone will notice that I got rid of the mood tag under my username, I'm pretty sure it never would have moved away from "lonely."

I wonder that it's good to come here and talk after a particularly dispair filled day.

I wonder if I should stop wondering now and leave a :grouphug:

For Lonely1
 

Welcome back. We missed you. Love, Barbo

I wonder if Lonely1 has noticed that I never use the mood icon...because it would always be angry and who wants to admit that! :o

I wonder how much fun it was to "supervise" two kids yesterday while their mom & grandpa went to the N.D. game....awful game and cold to boot!

I wonder at all the junk food we ate...and ate...

I wonder and I know she did too...that the 9 yr old girl admited to being afraid of dogs and she and Cassie fell in love with each other...:D

I wonder what time our daughters will arrive today...looking forward to "playing" with them and their friend Lori....

I wonder if waves will be careful not to overdo while trying to get a handle on her anxiety....:hug:You don't have to "prove" anything to anyone..you just need to take care of YOU....as our David would say...

I wonder, and hope, that people understand why I keep bumping up old threads and talking about those of us who have been left behind by a loved ones suicide....I recently give this site to VERY recent survivors..:grouphug:

I did recomend to both parties that they only read here...too early, way too early to try and make sense of their losses...

I wonder if Alffe knows how much I, for one, sincerely appreciate the threads that are bumped (I know that you can't see me smiling with approval and bravado - I hope you can feel it :D )

Its no wonder to me that the 9yr old and Cassie bonded... afterall, they both felt safe.... :grouphug:

I wonder if I should put on the Deputy police costume and shut down this thread yet... I'll keep an eye on 'er :)

I wonder that I think you are right waves, the wonder threads are check-ins ...

At the same time, I wonder at the strength it takes to read and post in a wonder thread when we/you/I are fighting the demons... :mf_swordfight:

I always wondered how to use that Smilie and today, it had a purpose! :p

:sing: Addy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpY6L0G3JdE (It is a song from God to his children--you're my little girl, but it could be used from a parent or grandparent perspective as well)

I wonder how I can ever thank you enough for sharing such a beautiful song dear Sarah Mae!
I keep listening to it over and over... seeing how it can even relate to the life of my 2 year old grandaughter....

oh, I don't wonder... :hug:

:Heart:

I am glad you enjoy the song. :) That makes my heart (and mouth) smile! :)

It is truly my favorite song, and has helped me in the very darkest of times.

I just met the three guys who sing the song and had my picture taken with them on September 12th. The picture and autographs are something I will cherish a lifetime, but the strength and love I have found in this song could last a million lifetimes. I e-mailed them (the Go Fish guys) and told them how this song has literally kept me alive--that it is only because I listened to this song and could feel God's arms around me, that I am alive today. :)

If you are curious, you can click the link in my signature (my CaringBridge website) to see the picture I took with them. Although, I think the video I linked to has plenty of pictures of them as well. <3 :hug:
