Thanks Two and Hops,

I can remove the add on's from the dress after the wedding and wear it again even with a nice pair of flip flops or sandals in the summer. The other dress I'm not going to sell.  I'd rather give it to the places that you can buy affordable prom dresses.  Really I'd rather just give it away (no cost).  So many good things and good people have stepped into my life in the past and still in present....just because ..and I am playing it forward.   

Love
Deb

That's a really lovely sentiment Deb, good for you :) xx

I went into New York the other day with my D and her friends.  I had ordered tickets for the Jimmy Fallon Show for her.  They sent them in my name and I didn't know that I would have to be there.  At first I wanted them just for her and friends.  They told me without me there and ID that no one would be allowed in (the party of people).

So off I went with them and had the best time.  So much laughter and memories.  I haven't been there in so long.  I noticed that most people weren't even aware there were other people on the street.  They were hustle and bustle down the street.  They didn't even notice the pigeon (on very crowded street) or the (pigeon) notice the people.  I was sure he/she was going to be trampled on. 

There was Minnie and Mickey, Batman, Empire State Building, including Spider man (people dressed in costumes).  I was standing at the corner with spider man.  I said, Hi Spidey, How's super hero going for you today. 

And he went into Super Hero Spider man Role.  He jumped into the street, stopped a cab coming around the corner, was down with one leg out, and doing some hiss noise (like webs were coming out from his fingers) so people could cross the street.  Only in New York but Fun, Fun, Fun!!

I cheered for him.  The next thing I knew Spider Man had his arm around teaching me to do the Spider Man hand moves with my  hands.  The girls were like ...Oh no she is not doing this. 

And then their camera phones all went off. 

I looked crazy.  So much fun!

When we got to NBC on line they pulled my D and friend off line.  I was wondering what they were doing?  They only had time to tell me they were sitting behind the band.  Good for them.

I went in with D's other friend where they placed us in good seats half way up.  I didn't see seats behind the house band.  I asked one of the worker's there ..Where do they sit behind the band?  She said, No they are sitting in the last 3 rows because they are going up on stage and dance with the band that is the guest!!

They warm you up with a comedian that comes into the audience, house band, and DJ.  What a party and fun time!  I had all to do to keep my mouth shut.
There was a wedding party there (girls) and the comedian got hold of them.  So funny!  They had them do a dance off with other guest. 

I was there with (my D's ) wedding party girls and I wanted so bad to tell the comedian.  I knew she was sweating bullets that I would. 

Then I thought of the Spider Man picture and pay back of me (all over face book).  So I shut up.

One of the guest that the girls liked (the one picked to dance with band) liked and was very excited to see.  When they were announcing the guest they hit the light's on the stairs where I was sitting.  I looked behind me thinking he was going to come in from the top and run down the stairs to the stage.  Then I seen smoke coming out of the floor next to me.  A trap door.  Up he came in a mist.

And fun again.  I teased her about being 2ft away.  She teased me about dancing with the band.

Then it aired and there was my kid and friend dancing away behind the band.....

But I had the best damn arms you ever see *clapping*...lol

I'm so glad I had to go!!  I would have missed this very special day with my D and her friends.

Some times things just happen for a reason...I think I laughed for 12 hours.

Since I don't have a TV I only get youtube clips:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMpHmy26M4Q

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/10/01/congress-gets-paid-during-a-shutdown-while-staffers-dont-heres-why/


wow...all national state parks closed and those communities being  "out of luck"....LOL   okay so where are the torches and crowds and protests LOL

I say we just get rid of the congress and senate they are just wasting money and time

all of those college kids that can't get jobs should volunteer to fill these national park positions if people won't do it for free....cause these college kids have wealthy parents any how and are somehow getting by without paychecks

and old retired university professors and other people can run the government on a volunteer basis (I think some people would be thrilled at this)

ugh.... are we heading to another economic dive???

Isolated but Not Lonely
•They are people who enjoy their own company. They tend to be quiet or reserved.
•Either they have satisfying relationships with friends or neighbors, or they have always stayed to themselves
•In this sample, they were all people who did not have children
•They have self-sufficient personalities
•They spent the previous Christmas alone by choice


Does my computer count as a child, or companion?  Ha Ha

Not to be dwelling on the "bad stuff" in life. I find it weird how some people just don't believe that one's own family could ever be cruel.

Randomly came across this not even looking for it really, was listening to a youtube music video. It's an Oprah episode of a boy who was chained up by his own family when he was a little kid. I never saw this before just now:

I find it very weird, too, that so many people lack the imagination (or empathy) to know that is true.
It seems like a form of magical thinking and denial...that if they allow in the truth that there is cruelty
in families, their own might crumble. Or, perhaps, they will feel disallowed from enjoying their own
happy one.

People DO have the right to enjoy happiness, if they are so fortunate as to luck into it, or have the
skill and insight to create it if they don't have the luck.

But it'd be nice if they'd take a break from self-congratulation now and then, to reach out to those
who have had that hope shattered. It really is easier to heal with a hand to hold.

Stick out yer paw, Bean...there are good humans around you. And some DO know how to bridge
the worlds.

love
Hops

I think the issue for me is the wholesale brokenheartedness of humanity.

I suffer from being too sensitive to this frequency around me. It comes through more often than not, when I'm most vulnerable to it, too. Some days I think I know why this exists... and other days, I don't have clue one. Some days it makes me angry at the injustice and I'm ready to put on my amazon armor and go put things "right"... for those people who need something to cheer. Other days, I just want to go hide from all it all.

I don't get to do either one. But there are a couple things that really help, the things I can't "help" in reality.

Babies!!!!!  ;)  Anyone giving birth, the babies themselves, the whole nesting ritual and anticipation of welcoming another of our "tribe" into this life - another who will surprise us, frustrate us, and still make us smile.

PUPPIES!! This one is self explanatory. And it's puppies more than kitties - even though I prefer the lower maintenance of cats. Puppies are sillier, I think. Maybe not, though... my "feral" kitty, who finally starting to accept hubs' presence and be domesticated... is pretty silly, too. A clown.

Laughing - no matter the reason for it. Yes, there are some fits of laughter that are healthier - and more of a release - than others. But any kind of chuckle... snicker... guffaw... or uncontrollable, crying and almost peeing oneself laughing fit I think is the yin side of yang sadness/anger. It's just as fierce and powerful, in full roll...

in the words of the bard, Jimmy Buffett:

"If we couldn't laugh, we'd all go insane".
Success is never final, failure is never fatal.
