The Great Wonder Thread...274!!
 

I love your great The Great Wonder Thread...274!!

I wonder at how wonderful it is to see our dearest Tamiloo back and posting again. <hugehug to you both> Been thinking of you

I wonder if your pain has eased? I hope you're feeling better today.

I wonder how everyone is going? I've been offline a few days or so. May be away from computer for a bit longer. Not sure.

I wonder if I can tell you I ordered this cd 2 months ago from an online company here and it finally came a couple of days ago. :D I told my daughter the name of it and she said something to effect of it being "really old". I thought of it as a classic that every company would have. Silly me. Anyway, it's Boz Scaggs "Silk Degrees" and first time I played it I cried it was so familiar. Maybe I'm stuck in the wrong era?

I wonder if I can send warm wishes to the south of Australia. I figure someone living down there might like some of it. It's been absolutely gorgeous weather here the past couple of weeks. I have been doing a lot of work outside. My zucchini seem to be at a standstill which is a shame.

I wonder if I should stop rambling before I run out of credit again!!! and just tell you all how special you are... all of you who post or read or just "listen" and wonder...

I wonder how much I love being able to come here and read the wonders...


I wonder about the kitty in the yard next door...if it is a homeless stray...can't think of the word...not ferret...~sigh~but what an incredible relationship it has worked out with our Cassie..Cassie can't cross the buried invisible fence line and this kitty has figured that out and saunters along the forbidden line....lol..very entertaining for all of us...:D

I wonder how proud we are of our s-i-l for getting tenure at his university...:hug:

I wonder at how exciting it must be to plan two weddings... Tamiloo! fun times!

I wonder how lucky I am to have limitless internet (((Lara))) ... or wireless... why... I can just walk around the corner to the Library or Starbucks... or even McDonalds!

I wonder if you are referring to a feral cat, Alffe? (Yay son in law!!)

I wonder if all the Moms here will have a peaceful loving Sunday. Memories of our Moms that are watching down from heaven will certainly touch a few of us ((((Goofy))))... :grouphug:

I had wondered when you would reappear. Glad to see you!

I wonder if my son will finally grow up and realize that HE is the one sabotaging himself.

I wonder if this MS disease will continue to rob me.

I wonder when the sun will finally come out in the back woods of NH. Im tired of being cold. I wonder if I should move south a bit.

I wonder if I will finally shift those last 10 pounds.

I wonder how many will say thanks at the end of my post.

I wonder why lurkers never say thanks! :confused:

I wonder about an unwanted 15 mins of fame....~sigh (not me, my neighbor)

I wonder how much food the p.office will collect today for the food bank...I remember leaving a bag out there one year and a neighbor brought it in and called to tell me that I'd forgotten my groceries but she had them for me. :D

I wonder if Cassie will forgive us for boarding her for over a week...:o

I wonder if I can say thank you Addy...feral is the word I was looking for. :hug:

I wonder what a huge difference the sun makes not just in our temperature but in our psyches ......

I wonder if Goofy is feeling a little less stress these days....:hug:

I wonder if wren is baking cookies???

I wonder if Barbo knows that I did make a pretty close run on Retro's grilled cheese sandwich...:wink:

I wonder if I can thank Tamiloo for her Great Wonder thread, and let her know that I'm so pleased to see her wondering again? :hug:

I wonder if I can thank Lara for her warm wishes as I shiver down here in the south? I can see a mountain from my kitchen window and it was capped with snow his morning, with more on the way. I thank the Lord that we don't get snow on the ground here, but we sure feel the cold breeze that blows down off that mountain. Brrr!

I wonder if it's too soon to tell you that I'm planning a vacation? Well .. 2 vacations actually! :D

First I plan on going north (Sydney) to see my darling elderly aunt who is 87 years old. I haven't set a date yet, and I do want to make to make the most of the trip, so will try and work in some other destinations in as well. Maybe we can find somewhere warm to spend a week. Sunny Queensland maybe? That would be nice. :)

Second, we're planning one big retirement vacation, probably next year. I imagine it will be the last big one we have so it will have to be good. We're tossing around a few suggestions, the main ones being an ocean cruise or a trip to Indonesia to spend time at an Orangutan refuge. Either would be great but it will depend on my mobility as to which one we finally choose. There have been other thoughts but we've vetoed those with long flights, like Europe and the USA (sorry), but New Zealand is still in the running. Will let you know more when we make some decisions. :)

I wonder at how proud I am of my DD. Last week she donated her 100th pint of blood. That's a lot of lives she's potentially saved.

I wonder what my DD and DH have planned for me tomorrow, being Mother's Day? I know there's to be a special lunch, so am looking forward to that. :)

I wonder if I can ask Alffe what "tenure at the university" means?

I wonder how nice the thought of my warm bed is tonight?

I wonder if I can explain tenured properly...our sil has his Ph.D and has been on the tenure track for a long time...you have to publish....etc. Now that he has attained this goal...he can't be fired unless he commits a grave act...he never would...he is a sweetheart. Congrats to Dr.G...!!! He teaches classical guitar and makes our Bizi happy. *grin

I wonder if Dejibo is expecting the same nice weather they are predicting for NYCity....

I wonder if I can ask for prayers/positive thoughts for my dear dying friend.:Heart:

Oh my gosh ((Lara)), I wonder that there is someone else out there who LOVES Boz Scaggs!!! :hug:

I wonder what a trying week it has been. A dear friend of mine lost her husband in a 1-car accident in Des Moines this past Sunday. Went to his funeral yesterday. She is in such shock. But I also wonder that he had taken Ambien...he couldn't sleep well after losing his job.

I wonder that they went to bed together that night, happy and content with their grandkids spending the night. She awoke at 3 am and he was nowhere to be found, didn't answer his cell phone. The police knocked on her door at 6 am to tell her of his accident and death. :( :( :(

I wonder if I can take this opportunity to warn others of the side effects of Ambien. I had to stop taking it because I suffered the side effect called sleep-eating. I would wake up in the middle of the night, in the kitchen...or living room...with food spilled all over me and still in my mouth...not having any memory whatsoever of getting up.

I wonder that a side effect is also sleep-driving. And it's more common than you think.

I also wonder that I just found out only moments ago that my son-in-law's best buddy was in a motorcycle accident here in Ankeny. They took him to Methodist hospital in Des Moines where tests are being run. He hit his head pretty badly. No helmet. At least he's alive.

I wonder if I should go take my epsom salt hot bath now and get on with my couching it...and a movie. The Vow...been waiting to see that.

Love to all. :hug:

Doody
 

Sorry about your friend's husband - more proof that we should enjoy every moment.

I wondered about David today... his name was mentioned in a photo on Facebook.

I wonder how nice it was to have a special message from Goofy-sis today :grouphug:
I also wondered about Abbie today... how are you doing, friend? :hug:

... well, dear Dijibo, you're not alone in your experiences... I wonder if you know many of us have felt that wonder at some time or other.

I've always wondered... what does Dijibo stand for? :laptop:

(((Doody))) :hug: goodness such sad, life changing accidents for those you love :( so sad! I pray your son-in-law's friend will be fine! and I also pray for your loving friend, dear (((Alffee))) :(

I wonder if Lara would like to know that my favorite Boz Skaggs album is Slow Dancer.

I wonder that I should let you know my son-in-law's friend is doing well, aside from the fact he is in pain. Various wounds, but the worst one on his head. His scalp was pulled back in a horseshoe shape! Took 100+ stitches to close the wound. He's a great big handsome teddy bear, with a few tattoos and a bald head, but he's just a big old softie and loves his family.

I wonder that even though he always refused to wear a helmet, he told everyone last night...he didn't want his motorcycle repaired...didn't want a new one...never wanted to be on a motorcycle ever again, and begged his wife to forgive him. :hug:

I wonder that it's time to go and chill out.

Peace. :grouphug:

I wonder if I can buzz in....and wish....

I wonder how wonderful it is to have the Grand-kids after school...even more wonderful when Mom picks them up! ;)


Hugs to all!!! http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...00grouphug.gif

I wonder if I can wander in and let everyone know that I am doing... "ok".

I am still hurting deaply and missing Ashley more & more everyday.

Yesterday was really hard as I am so used to texting all of my older nieces and wishing them happy whatever holiday it may be...even though they are not mommy's yet I always wish them a GREAT day. When it hit me that I couldn't send one to Ash, it took a while to pull the knife out of my heart.

I did get to spend a little bit of time with my sister, Ash's mom. She showed me that she got a copy of Ash's tattoo on her left shoulder just as Ash's was... it's a heart with a music note built in... then under in Ash's handwriting is Ashley's name. Then under that is her dob & dod.

I told her that I loved it and was going to try to get something similar but since she had the exact match I was going to get a tattoo of Ashley's signature which Ash had signed on my whiteboard a couple of years ago that I never erased.

I plan on taking a picture and having it blown up enough so that it's clear enough to have it tattoo'd on the inside of my left wrist. I also found a picture on Ash's facebook where she wrote the word "Love" in sharpie marker and put tape across it to make it look like a tattoo. She always wanted this tattoo'd on the inside of her wrist. I may also have that tattoo'd on the inside of my wrist since it too is in her handwriting.

I wonder, please don't think I'm a tattoo junkie... I'm not... I just want something that will be from Ashley in her handwriting that can not be erased or lost.

I wonder... I'm sorry this wasn't written in the I wonder format... Hopefully someday soon I will get back to me and I will get back to writing the I wonder's as they should be....

:hug:<----for all & don't forget to hug all those you love and let them know that you do love them every chance you get...you don't know when that chance will be gone.

Love to all,
Abbie

I wonder if I can tell you what just happened to me ... :o ...
It's a hot day and several men are digging new condo basements just down from me. I could see no coolers or things like that so I loaded up an armful of cold Cokes and carried them down. I handed them all to one man, turned around and headed home.
Then I heard him yell his answer to an obvious question from the others, "That nice old woman up there." :p

Wren
 

I've endured similar remarks - really builds your self-esteem doesn't it?

Wren and Barbo: LOL... well, I don't wonder that you ARE an old lady to them... :D
:Thats-Funneh: Tamiloo-loo, I wonder at what a relief it is when the grand-Addy leaves! lol!

I wonder what a lovely idea that is to have Ashley's handwriting forever remember on your wrist (((Abbie)))... and remember that saying: "Its none of my business what others think of me"! The tattoo is for you - no one else! Its art and expression! - matter of fact my youngest son (28), who is extremely artistic (designs skate board decks, etc), just bought a start up kit to learn how to tattoo others! My oldest 2 sons have tattoos, too. Me - never!!! too freaking painful... but I leave every door open... you just never know.

Abbie, I wonder if you are familiar with Shawna Erback's work - she paints lovely Fairies and many times she uses musical notes in her work. I purchased this painting in memory of my Mom. Its been a real challenge (monetarily) to decorate my bedroom around it but I'm determined to do it using thrift store finds.

Doody, I wonder if you saw a program last night...I think it was Nightline but not sure... about the fact that sleep-driving (and all sorts of other horrific things like hitting their bed partner!) is very common and a scarey, real side-effect.

I wonder at the vivid dreams I had when I recently tried a new med (to help me sleep) - the dreams really made me think ... far too much!! LOL... and my doc said no, she won't write me a prescription for them. Drugs do weird things... not always good things... we all hope the experts know things... but they don't :(

I wonder how nice it is for the big trees around here to drop their pinecones!
I wonder how cute I must looking, basket in hand, gathering them up! :D

I wonder how glad I am to be home after a wonderful 8 days in NY...

I wonder how happy Cassie is to be here with us after being boarded for 8 days...

I wonder how surprised we were to find it 90 degrees here...left NY at 70 degrees...

I wonder that my garden suffered from lack of water...sweet basil died..

I wonder how I envy Addy her close contact with her grandaughter...:grouphug:

I wonder that it is wonder time and its been a bit since a wonder .. wonder why
wonder on my boss and why she NEVER ever listens to music ever. wonder that I have asked and we have had a few conversation on this. I wonder why I find this so very bizarre and alien to me. wonder that I am glad she is just my boss and not a close friend.. wonder if maybe that is why she isnt a close pal ??? Wonder that I know it just may be.

Wonder that I am going on vaca to house we got for my mom to finish out her days in June. wonder that I havent been there since she passed :( . wonder how beautiful it is there in the summer and cant wait to get away. wonder that the back yard up there is the Jefferson national park .. and the Appalachian trail is right there :D . :D :cool:

Wonder on my Dog Gemini . we found her on I-95 about 3 years ago wonder no one claimed her or was looking for her at the 3 local shelters so we kept her. gave her, her new name. wonder that I decided to get her a crate for this trip . wonder how worried i was to get it early so she can be used to it. wonder how I got it home set it up and wonder how Gemini right away just walked right in it and layed down and slept for about half hour. :rolleyes:

wonder that I am mostly here to leave prayers for my nt family and this room , the readers... and especially those on the sidelines lurking :smileypray::smileypray::smileypray::smileypray:
Hugs ... wonder on warm sunshiney hugs :hug::grouphug:
:grouphug::grouphug: low pain and positive energy to go with the prayers.
PEACE
BMW
p.s. wonder I forgot to wonder if anyone knows how long it take for humming birds to find a humming bird feeder????

wonder if i can pop in and and leave hugs, and props, for you all. :hug:
