Wonder Thread #158
 

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... :grouphug:

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....:hug:

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....:D

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?..:hug:

I wonder if Nikki will remember that she has the rest of her life, after her own grief lessons...to help in a hands on way. Please, please take care of yourself ...

I wonder when I'll finally meet again with the chair of our Prevention Coalition....she has illness in her family...:(

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

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

I wonder who I forgot...:o

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. :hug:

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 :eek:

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.

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.

:grouphug: for everyone

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! :hug:

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. :o

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.

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.

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....:hug:

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...:hug: I spent some time on a walkabout in India...

I wonder if I can tell Scrabble thank you *grin :hug:

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...:hug:

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

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 :hug:

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...:hug:

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

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....:hug:

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

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

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 :grouphug:

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....:hug:
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.....................................

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. :o

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. :o

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

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...:grouphug:

I also wonder about hugs…always hugs!

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.
:grouphug:

I wonder what Cheryl learned at the ortho doc today...:hug:

I wonder that ducky brightened my day with her wonder....

I wonder how wonderful those tiny white lights are..they don't get hot!

I wonder if wren knows how hard we both laughed at "the Christmas Lights"....:D

I wonder who's dog that was that came to visit Cooper today...he was thrilled at the company and they played and played...

I wonder why I keep giving him his presents...then have to buy more...

I wonder if I'll ever get to visit all those places...Mistiis..:grouphug:

I wonder if Nikki knows that I know....and I'm sorry...:(

I wonder if ((Alffe)) knows she brings me great comfort and hope :hug:

I wonder how all the wonderfulness landed here.
I wonder and hope that all the people here, even if they are lurking, know how forgiving and caring and loving the people here are.
I wonder if my Doxie will get along with the rescue Doxie he's going to meet tomorrow.
I wonder if the tree will get put up and decorated tonight, the boxes have been out since Monday afternoon.
I wonder how hard it is to forgive and love yourself and how peaceful and free when you do.
I wonder if everyone here that remembers me knows how wonderful that make me feel.
I wonder if everyone here knows how much I care about them, even if I don't mention there names because I don't want to miss someone and have them feel left out.

Loads of hugs,
Doxie

I wonder if I can leave this for all of you :grouphug:

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l...-friends-1.jpg

I wonder if some of you keep lists and notes so you can wonder so thoroughly and well....

I wonder at how little time I seem to have to come here and hang out and read and post...

I wonder if I didn't have to sleep all the things I could get accomplished...

I wonder at how wonderful you guys and gals are....

I wonder at the peace that comes like a warm blanket...

I wonder how happy I am to see Lara back...and I hear that BB is hanging around somewhere in this neighborhood too....:)

I wonder that our little grandson insisted that I talk to the Christmas tree tonight when I called...and the little drummer boy too....(neither answered me, though)

I wonder how many of you are...those with recent injuries, illnesses, losses....

I wonder how pretty my Christmas "cone" is...it was a tree we bought that opens up like a slinky...but comes decorated with lights and red berries...it is simple and lovely and I like it...

I wonder if you mind that I share that my aunt, who just died 2 days ago....her last words were whispered clearly to her sister...words of a benediction she heard throughout her childhood....the more significant to me because she wasn't verbal about her faith or beliefs... (from the book of Jude) "To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

I wonder how beautiful that is to me...to have that spiritual bridge to walk across between our earthly life and the next....

That gets me wondering about other things...that I just don't think I will wonder about right now....

I wonder how many times I've said that our dear ((Spanish Moss)) is an angel walking on this earth. One look at her and you just 'know'.

I also wonder at how dear ((Mr. Moi)) is to me. He already knows why. :hug:

I wonder again at how much it warms my heart to see (((Ducky's))) posts about this Christmas. And dear (((Ms. Alffe))) too.

I wonder if ((BJ)) read the suggestions for tummy relief. I had forgotten how wonderful peppermint tea is on the tummy and its yummy taste.

I also wonder that this margarita (sp?) tastes pretty darned good right now. :o

I wonder that I'm thrilled my kids and g-doody will be spending the night here tomorrow night. We have a really nasty storm coming in...ice, sleet and snow. Local weathermen are predicting 3/4" ice. Lord please don't let the powerlines go down!

(they work here in town but commute so they want to be closer to work)

I wonder how our little (((Otto poots))) is doing tonight. He's paralyzed and had spine surgery last Friday night. Bless his little heart. :(

I wonder that I can't afford the presents I usually try to lavish on my family, have only a few, but feel okay with it. Little g-doody gets the bulk. :o

I wonder what Bruna is dreaming about right now.

I wonder if we can all surround dear (((Reyn))) with our love.

((Reyn)) :hug:

I wonder how strongly ((moss') post effected me. So beautiful. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.:hug:

I wonder how reading ((Ducky's)) tree post made me smile.

I wonder who or what knocked over ((Alffe's)) tree! I wonder if she has heard anything about the groundhog?

I wonder how ((Koala)) and her husband are feeling? :hug:

I wonder about ((BJ)) ((Goofy)) ((flygirl)) and ((curious)) and hope they are starting to heal.

I wonder where ((hippiechick)) is hiding? I hope she is enjoying time with her husband :hug:

I wonder how often I find myself thinking about Moi and Moss and those precious babies.............:hug:

I wonder if ((Addy)) will be able to see her g-baby this holiday season?

I wonder how nice it is to see ((Lara)) and finally "meet" her!

I wonder how ((wren)) is? Does anyone know?

I wonder if ((BMW)) is all packed for her trip? I hope you have a fantastic time Angel friend of mine:hug:

I wonder if ((Steve)) is feeling better? and if he will come wonder with us?

I wonder how ((Abbie)) is doing and if her poor leg has finally healed?

I wonder how ((Tammy)) is feeling and if her pain is under better control?

I wonder how (( Twink)) is, and how her Dear Dad is doing with his treatments?:hug:

I wonder if ((David)) knows what a calming effect he has on me?:hug:

I wonder if ((doody)) knows how much her message to me meant? And that I too think together, we will all make it through this :hug:

I wonder if ((Jestersnow)) knows she is safe here, and that we will help her through this :hug:

I wonder if ((doxie)) knows how sweet I think she is?

I wonder if ((mistiis)) is an Angel on earth?!

I wonder how ((coolangel)) ((Bizi)) ((Barbo)) ((pono)) and ((meg)) are and if they will come wonder soon?

I wonder if I forgot to mention anyones name, if I can be forgiven, I gave it a good try! :p

I wonder if I can share that I decided I was not strong enough to go to the coalition meeting tonight..... On top of it being a tough month, it also snowed all day, so guess what I was doing :rolleyes:

I wonder if I can share I was having trouble sleeping and found myself making cards for my SOS family. Imagine that! I even hummed a little :cool:

I wonder that I only have the address' of those who were still in the postcard exchange..... if anyone else would like a card please send me your address in a PM :hug:

I wonder about the struggle I have had about going to my friends service tomorrow...... after a long battle, I decided I just can't go. I feel very badly about it, but I am consumed with grief for Dad and find I have very little of anything left at the moment. I am thinking they of all people, will understand... sigh

I wonder if you all know how often I think of you, and pray for you.
Big healing hugs :grouphug:

I wonder if ((pono)) is having a tough night being up this late? I wonder if a hug would help?:hug:

I'm still wondering what Cheryl learned at the ortho yesterday

I wonder if I should stumble over to the Stumble Inn....*grin

I wonder that our little tree fell over because the stand was too big for it...got a new little stand...and stand it does! :D

I wonder at Mr.Alffe's appetite taking a stroll down memory lane..digging deep in my recipe box to fill his requests...dang..hadn't made wiggle in years! And he too old to eat creamed eggs on toast..but if it makes him happy....Porcupine balls are next....his mom must to smiling...

I wonder why I'm stalling on going to the store...maybe cause it's now up to 9 with the sun shinning....:rolleyes:

I wonder if Doody will have fun with her whole family sleep over...*grin
we're specting that same ice storm....and that's why I need to quit stalling and get to the store!............

I wonder if I can leave hugs for the room....:grouphug:

I wonder that I don't remember a wonder thread being so far down on the list...

I wonder that I think it is a good thing...

I wonder if you know this former Northerner took a walk with a short sleeve shirt on after work today...and I still don't miss snow (to my suprise)

I wonder that I am getting used to seeing palm trees with Christmas lights on...and only occassionally giggle about it

I wonder that I better get busy ....but it has been so nice to wander around Neurotalk for a while this evening...

Hugs to the room and the broom and my groom!:grouphug:

I wonder where all my energy goes. At least the desire is there.

I wonder that I got the presents wrapped and mailed and was told that a little, almost 5 year old will get his presents by Christmas.

I wonder that the tree still isn't up, but my former next door neighbor came by to visit and we had a wonderful time visiting and catching up on news,

I wonder if I bit off more than I could chew with my idea about having a fundraiser, but I'm making a little headway.

I wonder if my new rescue doxie will feel safe in our home and will feel less timid.

I wonder that my doxie seems to accept her and doesn't feel threatened.

I wonder what name we will pick for our new doxie.

I wonder if everyone here knows they can come here and rest.

Hugs to all in this room and may they never stop wondering.

I wonder at this very strange weather we are having...thunder & lightning, ground covered with snow...temp. 30 degrees...:confused:

I wonder if the trashman will hurry up and get here so I can slide out and give him his cookies & cash...*grin

I wonder if Cooper is afraid and confused by the thunder....

I wonder if Mr.Alffe will negotiate the roads safely...hate the direction he is driving....~sigh

I wonder who will start a new wonder thread......:D
