Well Ulli, at those airfare prices...You'll probably see me wandering up the road to say "Hi" for sure : )

Dan, I have a strong feeling that you will be one of the first to visit.
And since you are a constructor, we would even have a job for you,
free board and lodging and a wage on top.

Thank You Ulli : )
We shall see how things unfold...
Purdy is doing fine, just gonna help out here with Tara and the Kids for a while longer,
the rest is written in the stars : )

Maybe with low prices I could even ask guests to make their own beds
and just have a maid once a week to clean the bathrooms. Very casual and informal.

Good, keep it very simple is my suggestion : )

Here and now listening to the sweet song of a young Red Tailed Hawk.

Once in a while he comes out and I get to watch his wobbly flight.

The thermal baths we visit on Wednesday mornings have one pool which is freezing cold,
and I never have the guts to swim in that temperature, but today I took the plunge.
Right after sitting in a hot frog boiler. What a sensation. I feel different and really refreshed.
Healing takes place with just alternating water temperatures, something which ancient German spas offer as a cure for many ailments.

Yeah, typical German.

"There, that cure should stop the whining......"

"No, I'm fine, hold the leeches. Please!"

I do this here in Alaska, except it's hot tub to a roll in the snow and back to the hot tub...

This certainly excites the nerve endings and causes very strange full body sensation; I could see how the stimuli promotes healing now that I think about it. VERY exhilarating!

you're a northerner.

You'll understand when I say that an alternative is to get all four wheels off the ground, on the backroads. That can be very invigorating.

Cops? Might be one, in about 30-40 miles, in the one direction. Maybe. Ambulances? Not a chance. Careful, now...

Well, it's time for the annual Awards Banquet for Mike's company. I dread this, every year I dread this. None of the women will talk to me, and only half the men. And what the men say, well, it's of no interest actually. A bunch of small talk, it is a complete bore. And for some reason I'm a ball of butterflies the whole time. Completely out of my element. I put on a fancy-sexy outfit, some heels, some make-up (ugh), get all gussied up.

And I feel like a hypocrite the whole time. I don't support what his company does, per se. They will fall quickly when tptb topple. I know we will be okay. But the people that work there, well, all immersed so far in 3d, not even a little spark shines at these things.

And this year it's even worse. There is a limo involved.

I'd rather be a wall flower and be alone with my thoughts, maybe read (thought about taking a book, mw), maybe stroll through the Village on my phone.

But, damn, this is one of those things...it's important for Mike, so I play the part.

Butterflies churning all day over this. I guess it sort of upsets me to have to do this, I have been discombobulated all day. Started by splashing my coffee straight up onto the inside of the front windshield of my car (how does one do that, exactly?) and ended up being stranded at the store (having locked my keys in my car).

Blick.

Sit and look pretty. Hmph.

[Carmody]

In my experience of going to the unhappy meetings, the worst part is the prelude.

By the time you are actually there, the end is only a hour or more away.

1, have you left yet? If you check in on your phone, here are a couple of funnies. Will this help a little?



I'll go look for more. Villagers, anybody got something to help 1 stay in a good place during her ordeal? Funny pictures, jokes, camaraderie ...

Oh, Marianne, I love you so much! Actually, it's not for two more weeks!!!! Can you believe it? I'm just whining and sniveling and getting balled up about the whole ordeal...it just happens. The whining and sniveling is late this year, what with only two weeks notice, I usually get all balled up for at least a month...small miracles.

Thank you, sweetie.

I feel the same way you do about those things. My ex-hubby got special awards. I dreaded when he did because they’d host dinners in his honor. Everybody wanted a piece of him. And I'm the wifey that's out of her element. This one time, the younger ones (all in college) watched which silverware I was going to use for the salad. One even said, “Just watch Paula.”

I think it was sour cream that I though was salad dressing and everyone started to follow me. Until, I said, “Hold on. Major blunder here. I'm trying to act all grown up and sophisticated. You should know this is not blue cheese dressing. Damn, it’s hard work pretending to be perfect.” They thought that comment was really cool. I still was uncomfortable. My fork kept hitting my lip instead of landing in my mouth. (or so I thought)

So if I “splashing my coffee straight up onto the inside of the front windshield of my car (how does one do that, exactly?) and ended up being stranded at the store (having locked my keys in my car).” It’s me playing the sabotage game, looking for every reason why I can’t possibly make it to the evening event. I’m not saying you are, but I use to run it like that in my head.

To you, I'd say. Strut your hotness. Go bold. Go heat. Inhale and exhale.

Love ya, 1inMany...

Hi Big T,

It works now. I used the video icon rather than the image because it ends in ".mp4"

Toodles,

Here Now
Bird seed on freshly falling snow
Chickadee shares her treasure with another
I weep
Endless connection
Blows me away
Silence

PS Here and Now this morning. I played both together.

Okay, J, I'm on a roll.... you'll have to click back 10 or 20 pages in two weeks!






I'm loving Paula's advice to you.

How PERFECT!!!!!!! Somehow, I am definitely going to scroll back and find these! First I chuckled, then I started crying. These are, well, just...PERFECT!

Yeah, I'll put on my throw me down heels, I'll put on my hoochie dress, sigh. If I have to. Won't change who I am on the inside.

Come to think of it, with champagne and a limo...and Mike and I will be the first in...and no doubt the last out...

Hmmmm. That might salvage the evening...I'll think of it like a date night!

This reminds me of some type of talk I attended in college. It was in Oklahoma, where many Native Americans have preserved their heritage. And this Native American man came to the school to talk about something, I can't remember the topic. But what struck me was when he said that when he met someone, anyone at all, he greeted their soul. In this way, when he shook hands with someone and said, "It is truly an honor to meet you," he meant it. It did not matter their position, their occupation, their income... And I thought at the time, "Oh, yes! I want to be just like him!"

And that was the beginning for me, I think. I will look at every person I see on that night, and greet each one's soul.

Geez, you guys are the best. Thanks for helping me out. Really.

Much Love,

[RunningDeer]

Well humph! Apparently they never met my Soul Brothers and Sister here!

Ich bin Zimmerman, auch! But really, I got experience in commercial and residential construction, carpentry, framing, plumbing, electrical, and masonry (just not the free-masonry type), but currently I'm employed outside that field. I did a side job recently and realized how much I miss it (and the money). Eaglespirit, I think I'd make a good crew member for you. I own my own tools, don't gripe on site, just hardwork and jokes! Besides, the wife and I are eager to raise our kids in a less toxic and obtrusive society. And my son's favorite interest is the rainforest. He asks nearly everyday when we are going to the rainforest.

We've often dreamed about making the jump and leaving for good, but I equate it to this:
