I wonder if I had any idea how noisey the wind can sound when you are up this high....:eek:

I wonder that they weren't kidding about the hunk of cheese being hot..

I wonder if my son in law likes hot cheese..he like hot soup so maybe I'm ok....

I wonder how much Mr.Alffe is going to love the sweet stuff at that bakery and if Barbo's gdaughter will be too busy to sit and talk to us..

I wonder if it is okay for me to pop in and say hi :Wave-Hello:

I wonder if I can share the link to my thread about my SCS trial... surgery was yesterday and while my neuropathy pain is better, my back is hurting very very badly and I went to the ER. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread132655.html

I wonder how much more I can tolerate this sitting up before I take a lot of meds to knock me out for the night... ughh to my pain! Night. :grouphug:

Wonder on Halloween candy ... wonder what your favorites are or were when you were a kid??????????????????????????? or the worst treat you got.

so glad you poped in to say hi and update us on your progress..and having no pain in your feet at all!!! That is such wonderful news Smae..I know that you still have a long road ahead of you but now there is hope for a new improved life. Please continue to keep us in the loop. :grouphug:

I wonder about that wonderful neighbor of ours, Mrs.OBrien, who every Halloween made homemade carmel taffy apples for the kids she knew.
Naturally, we went there first! Remember Barbo?

I wonder why, the last two years, we have had zero trick or treaters at our door.

I wonder if it's because the bushes have gotten too big to walk through..:confused:

I wonder if I should bother hidding the candy this year from him and just hand it to Mr.Alffe...

To Alffe
 

Sure I remember Mrs. O'Brien - she would only give the taffy apples to "her" kids. Remember when the loot got tooheavy for sacks and we went to pillow slips?

I wonder how thrilled I am to read about sweet ((Sarah's)) improvement! What a delight to suddenly have a respite from pain! When I get one of those days I marvel at what it feels like.

I wonder if Mr. & Mrs. Alffe heard about the young student at Notre Dame. :( Such a terrible tragedy. It's hard to believe he was up there in those horrific winds. :(

I wonder how shocking it was to take Bruna out to potty before bed last night and the weather was COLD! As in COLD! Here we go again!

I wonder at how my feet and legs were so cold last night I had to sit for a couple hours with heating pads on them trying to get warm. Gee, life after 60 includes getting cold feet?....like my 89 year old dad gets???? :o (Thank god [and Dottie] :hug: for my most wonderful angel blankie.

I wonder at how nice it will be to NOT have to go outside early in the morning for work after Dec. 31 retirement. Won't have to worry about ice and snow on the car or shoveling my way to the car!

I wonder how dear ((BJ)) and ((Nikki)) are doing. I miss them. Wait! I think someone said that BJ posted in Bipolar. Must go there.

I wonder how thrilled I was with Dottie's private message. Thank you ((Dottie)).

I wonder if Mr. & Mrs. Alffe are having a wonderful time in that beautiful apartment in downtown Chicago. :hug: I also wonder at how yummy that breakfast place looks and what a cute web site they have!

I wonder if you'd like to see a really goofy photo of Oscar. ROFL, he had momma's cell phone and snapped a picture of himself without knowing it. Looks like a little pudge face! LOLOLOL!

I wonder at the delightful day I had with Grand-Addy yesterday... my life is so complete with her in it... Our favourite games right now are "Booga-Booga-Booga Boo!" and Tent! (LOL... use your imagination as these games are absolutely nonsensical to adults!)

I wonder that, like Grand-Doody, my little 2 yr old Grand-Addy can pout and say, "I want to walk" when I suggest she sit in the buggy at Costco! Amazingly she'll hold onto the buggy as we walk around, eventually tiring enough to enjoy sitting and looking at things with me!

I wonder when that darn repair telephone person will come along... geesh!

I wonder that its great to hear from smae :hug: and if everyone here will have a good weekend! :grouphug:

I wonder why no is wondering...

I wonder if I didn't get that job I recently applied for because 'the powers that be' were working behind the scenes knowing it wasn't going to be a good change... (made it all the way to the last 2 people so I come away with good esteem)!

I wonder at how horrible the economy has become in the US and wish for some changes in the right direction soon! (I honestly don't know of a single person in Canada who has had their home taken away from them).

I wonder that today is a gift of sunshine... inside and out!

I wonder if Tom knows how much it means to us that he shared how he's feeling...

I wonder how Ducky is doing with quitting smoking?....

I wonder at how busy (and sad!) this season becomes for so many.... and wish you all peace .... :Heart:

I wonder if I will sleep tonight or will it be another of those nights of pain...
I wonder how the rest of my week will be, I pray that things go well for myself and my patients this week
I wonder just what I will find at work in the am as I have had 4 days off from it to take my parents to Lincoln and back for tests on my dad
I wonder if my kids will ever get to move out of my spare bedroom and into their own home:eek:
I wonder if the "hospice kitty" will insist on laying on me again tonight, I think she thinks she helps me by laying on my chest and holding me still at night:cool:

I wonder if pooh knows that I woke Cassie up laughing about "hospice kitty".....:D

I wonder how much I love our sensor lights, even when deer turn them on..

I wonder what else I'll find now that I'm throwing stuff away....:cool:

I wonder if I'll regret throwing alot of it away....:o

I wonder if Tom can feel our support and prayers winging his way..:grouphug:

I wonder how many ipubrofens it's gonna take for my aching back to calm down...but there are a lot fewer leaves out there now...

I wonder about the courage it takes for people to live with chronic pain..:grouphug:

I wonder about the amazing email I got from my old neighbor yesterday...

I wonder about the sweet surprise that was waiting on the back porch from her....:Heart:

I wonder if that "hospice kitty" is related to my Buddy or Raffi? ... lol... yep, chuckling here... warms my heart to hear a cat has reached out to you dear (((pooh))) :hug:

I wonder at the stamina and determination (um... dare I say obsession) you have dear Alffe to get out there and rake the leaves. :rolleyes:

I wonder if you know it warms my heart to know you have sunshine which generates you to get out there and do it!

I wonder if I can admit to just sweeping the leaves on my little patio... and then using a dustpan to spread them around my shrubs for winter protection... is much easier than a whole yard!

I wonder why I messed up thinking that I don't work on Friday... made plans to have a sleep-over with Grand-Addy... ..... well, I don't wonder about canceling THAT!! :p I'll find a coworker to take my place!

I wonder that so many of you are coming up to a busy crazy time of year.... and hope that your can remain at peace ... both inside and out :grouphug:

I wonder if Alffe has heard the weather people are calling for that four letter word for Friday?!?! :eek:

I wonder about cats... how some are so independent doing only what they want while others think they are dogs and respond to commands and do tricks.

I wonder if I can get a good picture of the tree across the street...it has the brightest of reds and oranges.

I wonder if I can warn everyone to be careful if you get a cold...whooping cough is going around and it's bad this year!!!

I wonder that I am glad the election is over....I hate political ads.

I wonder if anyone here reads Reader's Digest... it's the only magazine that I read entirely.

I wonder... oh, no... I can't think of another wonder so I am going to wander away....

:hug:<----to all!!!
Abbie

I wonder why I can't get the S word out of my mind....:p

I wonder when the news media will shut up!! Stop spinning everything...:mad:

I wonder about mystical sightings....

I wonder that Abbie and I are both avid readers of the Digest...fits perfectly in my purse, great to fly with...

I wonder that I made both potato salad and potato soup (Iowa recipe..thanks doody.:hug:

I wonder who will eat them since neither is on our diets....;-)

I wonder if Alffe knows i LOVE potato anything..... :) I'll be right over to help. wouldn't want you to break your diet :rolleyes:

I wonder at how much i'm already dreading the holidays..... sigh..... and its not just the fact that mom is gone.... so many things going on right now.

i wonder when life will slow down a bit and i can enjoy the many blessings i have.
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I wonder how wonder it is to drop in and wonder...does that sound like a blonde wrote it...well I am a blonde...

I wonder how beautiful an Autumn can get...wow...seems more like September!

I wonder how great it is to have the old chap. 13 done and dismissed! Yahoo!! Longest five years of my life and well worth it...saved our home!!

I wonder how much I do appreciate all your hugs...:hug:

Here is a big gentle hugs for all...

I also wonder about cats.

I wonder that I once took in a cat, he crept up on the back of the couch when I was sitting there, waited for me to turn around, then headbutt me in the face.

I wonder that he always walked around the house meowing, and meowing, and meowing.

I wonder why he was always meowing.

I wonder if anyone has seen "surprise kitten." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8 :D

I wonder what happened to Blue, she was feeling better but then she dissapeared...

I wonder why I am up now and have been having sleeping issues lately.
I wonder if the typo police will be kind to me tonight since I am using my phone in bed to type this
I wonder mainly about the job interview that I wrote in the sleepless thread
I also wonder about school and what I'll do if I'm rejected from all 10 schools
and I wonder about work tonight and how so much was bringing me down-- how bc of my own worries right now, I don't think I've been such a good job --and I wonder about the concerns that were discussed today and if because one person thinks I appear frustrated, if I really am, and why I doubt myself so much anyways
I wonder why we remember the negative things people say about us more so than the good or even mediocre.
I wonder why I feel pessimistic and negative tonight, and why I harp on the bad things that were said
I wonder when I'll move, when I'll know where I'm going
I wonder about how much easier life roils be if I had a close knit family by my side
I wonder if any of you have lost your drivers license- and can't get a new one bc you can't find any of the requires documents?
I wonder about friendships and why mine so often have "turning points"
I wonder about the vacation I'm trying to plan
I wonder about my job now-- how I am going to miss my 2 good friends that are laid off starting the end of this month
i wonder where my life is headed, and again why some people seem to have more struggles than others in life
and I wonder why life is unfair sometimes
and I wonder if anyone has read A Healing Place, which I started tonight & may be what is interfering with my sleep deep down
I wonder if life will work itself out & everything will be okay
I wonder when I'll start enjoying the journey rather than only focusing on the destination
I wonder why I'm hungry now...

I wonder what book Wish is talking about? I can't find it online. :hug:

I wonder that the doc said I have strep throat and put me on a zpack. But I still feel ca-rappy.

I wonder if Lonely1 knows how much I loved that kitty ...:D

I wonder if Lonely1 watched the dog one on the same page....:D

I wonder if Doody knows how sorry I am that she feels so lousy...:hug:

I wonder if wish has ever thought about substitute teaching...

I wonder that Mr.Alffe would have a full time job doing it if he didn't say no sometimes...:eek:

I wonder about the snow in the forecast....time to get the furnace inspected!

i wonder if i should pass more info along about the book: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Hea.../9780399535048

i wonder if i should have said the author: Kate Atwood - and that its really for someone who has lost a loved one, especially someone with children who has lost a parent... although I find it applies very much for me too(an adult that had lost a parent as a child).

i wonder about how eager i am to meet Kate Atwood some day... my aunt met her and had her inscribe and sign the inside cover for me.

I wonder about our "healing" journeys, for all of us.

I wonder too why I am NOT getting the things done, I intended to do, which is why I stayed home from work today.

I wonder if I will soon enough.

I wonder if you all know I finally fell asleep, I usually have trouble sleeping between 5 to 7 am when my cats are up wandering.

I wonder about cats too - :) and their personalities. I have 2 that are opposites, one that thinks he is a dog, and the other that is quite shy and only likes to play with me.

I wonder about dogs and how very much I still miss my childhood/lifelong dog Lucy after 17 years together.

I wonder about grief and how hard it is to work on - especially important in the book. How communication is the gigantic key ingredient to healing. I never really had anyone in my family to communicate with it about, still dont.

I wonder why death is such a mysterious taboo thing to us all and because of this, we dont like to talk about it.

i wonder why my cat loves to scratch the mirror and the cabinet doors (like he is doing right now). :eek:

I wonder too if you all will cross your fingers and think of me, as I just sent off an email to the interviewer asking for an update on the job.

I wonder if Alffe knows I've thought of substitute teaching as a back up plan.... almost interviewed for 2 teaching positions last month too but am not certified and they wanted all that up front first. Education is really bad in our state right now (perhaps all over too) and our budget cuts have been really bad, most teaching jobs are difficult to get here. I am not sure if any would need a substitute, which usually isnt a full-time position.

But i wonder if she knows how much I miss working in a school after working there for 3 years.

I wonder too if you all could believe i prefer working with teens though :eek:

i wonder what you are all up to today on a very glum and rainy Thursday

I wonder if I should go to Yoga tonight - maybe if I get my stuff done

I wonder if I can say to Wish: no WONDER you're not sleeping... look at all the things on your mind dear one! Exhausting and stressing and I might hazard a guess to say you're battling the depression demon right now... am I right?

I wonder at the difference in our lives... I thought for sure that I was getting a particular job recently... but I wasn't stressed because I didn't need the job.

I wonder how easy it is to say, well, things happen for a reason....

Wish :hug:

I wonder how excited I am to have Grand-Addy for a sleepover tomorrow!

:sing: Addy

I wonder if Addy knows I am already stalling on going to bed, once again. And supposedly I have to wake up early tomorrow at 4am! :eek: Which means 3 hours of sleep tonight before work?? I wonder if any of you live off of coffee too.

I wonder if it'll be okay if I had extra sleep today since I didn't go to work because I tried to stay home and get things done but ended up not doing as much as I'd hoped.

I wonder when and if I'll ever get these school applications sent out. I wonder why I thought this would be easier than it is.

I wonder still even more so about my client this week that told me some critical things and why I can't just "shake" it away.

I wonder if Addy knows that this is my roughest time of year, and right now I am sandwiched in between two anniversaries - the death and birth of my mom... just a week or so more to go and then I can actually begin to enjoy the holidays. Especially if I have my to-do list completed by then too.

I wonder if you all have learned already that I like to keep extremely busy as my coping style.... so tomorrow night I have an event to attend in the evening, then saturday we are going to the university's football game, and then sunday I am going to a friend's brunch at her home. Always one thing after the next, that is why I keep wondering when I am going to stop and smell the roses. *sigh Life is not a race... why can't I remember that?

I wonder what you are all up to and your life journeys and your struggles, hurdles, and what you all have overcome. I wonder how Goofy's appt went today. :hug:

I wonder where all my old SOS family has gone and how their lives are treating them now: scrabble, lara, reyn, E, fury, mere .... i hope its okay that you all have become my new family now. :)

And i wonder about alffe and what she said about me growing up too fast physically and perhaps I am still not completely grown-up but "stuck" in ways... and I wonder how stuck I do feel.

I wonder if Gingerbread Lattes make you all feel like its the holidays officially now too.

To Wish
 

I too seem to be stuck in a place I can't escape. My daughter died 8-21-03 and I grieve her more every day. Shouldn't it go the other way? The further one gets from the anniversary date the better they are. Not true. My grief just seems to deepen. I feel close to her but with such sadness I can't describe. That's what's happening with me.

I wonder if I can tell Barbo that yesterday, I came across an entire folder of things her daughter had sent us...some thank you's to both Mr.Alffe and me, some honest, angry poetry, the unicorn stationery she made me...the wonderful original post cards of you, grandparents, Fen....

I wonder if I can say that I treasure them because she was such a treasure...:hug:

I wonder if I can admit to never having a latte, gingerbread of other kind..

I wonder if wish has ever had Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice Liqueur w/half cream................:wink:

I wonder that Mr.Alffe called me earlier this morning on the toll road in a snow squall........:rolleyes:

I wonder at the big dead bird I now have in my freezer...;)

Ah...I wonder that the world is right again. :wink:

I wonder when life is going to stop throwing me curve balls...... sigh

I wonder if I can give Goofy a hug......:hug:
