:] You’re welcome!
I think I need to go downstairs and watch some Discovery Health channel. Apparently there’s a show on about a lesbian couple who are both pregnant with twins! This I gotta see. :D
I’ll talk to you later! :] *superduperwuffleflyingtacklehugs*
Hi! :) I’m not in VT anymore :( I left Sunday. I would’ve stayed a week longer, but Jenna had her final project and paper to do for the college classes she’s taking online, so we decided not to even try to convince our parents.
We stayed up to watch the sunrise, though! It was absolutely GORGEOUS. Four am walks are kickass.
How are you? :)
teehee thanks… that is actually the best drawing i’ve done…
the writing above the monkey means: i don’t hear. it was part of an anime that said: i don’t hear; i don’t see; i don’t have credit!!
(instead of i don’t speak lol)
ps i don’t know which wall you mean… :S
the car doesn’t have bullets in it.. i thought it was a fun pic to put up.. that was a pic of a car part that was missing :D..
i live in jordan, but my dad is from palestine and my mom is american.
and woooo i love vacation. don’t worry too much about work and have fun…
what do you teach?
our school starts in august too..
Maximina your prayers have not only encouraged me but Clay as well. When I told him that you, along with a few others are preying for him he nearly broke down and cried. Thank you to an obviously faithful friend of Maegan, you are both continuously in my prayers.
hi max :)
sorry i didn’t respond sooner. i’m doing ok atm…
i didn’t draw those pics, they were done by a famous palastinian artist who was assasinated by isrealis because of his politically charged drawings. The drawings were so powerful in their message it made people want to take a stand against the viollence and injustice done to them by the Isreali Army.
i did draw this pic of a horse though :D
and i also did a lot of immitations of his drawings on my friend’s backpacks; they look almost the same but i don’t have any pics.. http://help.com/user/198921-franchesc…
how are you doing? i hope you are not working too hard. you sound like a very dedicated and motivated person!!! :D
shes real cute :) timid though, she was badly abused.
i had to put my other cat down last week, and i couldnt have an empty house, so i got one for mum :)
Oh I am going to go regardless! My family will help me when I am not in the country… We are funny that way. I am in LA right now and leave in 26 hours for Thailand.
How about some horror stories? China visa is a pain in the ars so I changed my first destination to Thailand. Shattered a tooth on a piece of plastic what was inside some bread. That cost me $2000 and now I am going to another country tomorrow with very very little money in the bank. Family is in a state of apathy about the whole thing. No help there. The lodging I had set up is now unavailable. So, I am going to a country with little money and no place to stay.
I’ll miss my friends here, but it’s the first time I’ve been on a vacation with extended family in years and years. We’ll never have the same group together again.
I don’t think the excitement has hit them yet. They went to Orlando with their mom earlier this summer. But neither of them have flown, and they both like the idea of seeing Canada, and a city they’ve never seen (Vancouver).
I’m going to try to relax and stay away from this site, but I will check email from time to time.
This week is going to be busy. The kids are with me, my son get’s braces, he also has soccer camp, my daughter will be bored and need more attention, and I have a long list of things to get done before our trip.
I guessed that was you. Nice icon, by the way. Of course, it doesn’t compare to the kanji for “love” that’s on your real one. I’ve always liked that symbol.
May I ask, my beloved Max, if our TWLOHA post should be considered among the most popular? I’ve seen some really weird ones here, but this one seems to be attracting a very steady stream of stalwart supporters, for which I am very surprised. I am sort of down on Help, but this was a very nice showing from the whole community. It gets good marks all around.
I think you are right about that. I have talked with a friend of mine who is an escort for a major tour company and he tells me like any job it can be exhausting and sometimes takes the fun out of it when he has to deal with cranky travelers. I was on a tour with him and saw some of what he had to put up with and so I have to keep this in mind myself! :))
Yes! Those books are pretty interesting - many compilations of different stories from different writers. I am reading Italy and Tuscany at the moment. I have also read some of the stories in Turkey and Ireland! :D
I know what ya mean I am answering less and less myself, but I think it is because I am either working on the side or like yourself I want my response to be sincere and thought out. I also realize I cannot save the world because no matter what I say it is really up to the individual to take the necessary steps one way or the other. I have realized I am sounding a bit same ol’, same ol’ and so I am a little lazy about it, but also don’t want my suggestion to sound imposing or out of place (which one did just recently.)
Gosh I am sorry to hear about your niece. I hope she will be fine! My father went through 2 rounds of chemo for colon cancer and came out fine. They are getting better and better at finding methods for treating and curing this disease. A woman I have known for several years had breast cancer return …it is quite upsetting, but she is quite a trooper. I will be thinking good thoughts for your niece!
I am so glad you are feeling healthier. Gosh there is nothing like having one’s health intact. I remember a few years ago when my own disease was out of remission and I was in pain. How I envied those with their health and peace of mind. I wanted that so much for myself. I think health is one of those things that is somewhat under-appreciated until one gets sick and discovers what it is like to be tied down. Yikes. But glad you are keeping active and spending time with loved ones! Kind of reminds me of how I would interpret a famous quote from the book The Little Prince - “It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important.”
Things are going pretty well. I have nearly finished the print job… the proof is being looked over before it goes to print and so far they like it. Its very simplistic… nothing special, but it works for them. :)
Family is visiting from the east coast so we went to dinner at a wonderful little French restaurant in my area. Unbelievable! I have never been terribly excited by French cuisine having experienced something of it in Paris a few years ago. I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I should be! LOL! So it wasn’t at the top of my favorites… but honestly I don’t think I really have experienced French cuisine until last night. Amazing!!! The woman and her husband are from Provence and every single one of their dishes was tremendous. Any person dining there could tell that attention and skill went into each dish. The woman chef is a talent! The flavors in the sauces not only complimented the original food, they added just the right touch. Talk about letting something rest on your palette! Even the layout and design turned me on! Whoa! Gosh I feel like a food snob or something. I even want to write them some kind of outstanding review or something. Its not that often I get to experience a full treat from appetizer to main course to dessert. And they are just a small restaurant trying to make it next door to a karate school and laundromat!
Trying to spend less time on help.com - again. LOL! Only problem is I have been noticing some great discussions and intelligent posts or responses here on help.com … hard to pull myself away from even reading some of them!
Hope everything is wonderful in your world today! I will probably go running this afternoon and then do some yard work and reading. I am reading some of those “Travelers’ Tales” series ;) The library carries a great selection of those…
Sometimes I think being a tour escort would be fun! I would probably be one that would be into promoting environmental causes though - especially since a lot of out of towners come to this area and toss stuff out the window right in the middle of a beautiful forest or beach setting. I have seen it a lot during the summer months. Argh!
