We don't remember days, we remember moments.

Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our

breath away.

its a game we adults play instead of buying for everyone...to many of us, it

provides us with over an hour of fun belly laughing almost to tears while the

babies play with their new gotten treasures. everyone brings a 25 dollar gift

and we draw numbers, #1 goes and picks a gift,he can chose to open it or hold

it,then #2 goes he can take number ones or go get his own and open it, and so on

down the line till all gifts are out then lucky #1 gets to take any gift he

chooses at the end. its fun, one year the money tree was exchanged to many times

so now we have a rule if its changed hands 3 times ya cant get it, so you have

to be stategic and team up with your spouse lol. they all try to find the best

dirty santa gift, for the year. its fun, we love it. then at the end of it, they

will all barter for gifts teeheehee. i love watching my kids laugh and play, i

pray the youngest gets out of her evil mood by christmas eve,or i will have to

spike her egg nogg for the evening hahahahaha. i am sure there are other

versions of it but thats ours. in maine as a kid at school we called it the

yanky swap. much love barby

Ya - I think back to those good memories of the cats being so fascinated with

the bulbs and lights, we always had to make sure we knew where they were when we

went to bed. Sadly, one has already gone to the place that cats go and the

other one is just old and ornery.

Today, a cousin dropped off one of her miniature standard poodle for us to

babysit. That old cat is so put out that he's making sure the dog does not come

up the stairs from my office. It's so funny!!! Soon, he'll be away too tired

to keep up the vigilance.

I just finished putting up my tree a little while ago. We now have 3 cats, the

youngest one not quite a year old yet and 'Little Redneck " is into everything!

I went to Kmart and bought a 42 " fiber optic tree and put it in my front bay

window and hung some unbreakable ornaments on it. Redneck helped the whole

time. My son came home and said " you gotta be kidding! That's the tree? " But

no one wants to be cat cop so that's it! Jackie

Really Jill - society still judged a teenage mother 30 yrs ago??? I thought

that by that time, they were actually putting daycares right in the High

Schools. Geez, like our mothers and grandmothers weren't pregnant before

marriage.

I was obviously a bit older than you by a few years, when I became a single

mother of a now 30 yr old. There has never been a time, ever that I wished I

didn't have him. Oh maybe just a little when he was a mouthy, know it all

teenager; but, not seriously.

I already use colour in my hair!! Except that for some weird reason, since I've

been on the first treatment over 5 yrs ago, colour will not actually soak into

my hair shaft. Used to be strawberry blond up till I was in my twenties when it

started to really lighten. Then spent my 30's and 40's trying to be a redhead

again - only to find out in my 50's that it's a waste of energy.

either,where as i was the pregnant drop out back in the day. and the names that

were called, i just decided not to go. i was gonna go out of spite cause this

young teenage mother had done so well for herself, and did i mention i was hot

back then lol. and that sweet little child i got pregnant with turned out to be

the best ranger of 2009. so the heck with all those that shunned me..including

the family members.i am glad i had my baby, and kept him, hes a wonderful 30 yr.

I haven't had that kind of hair since I was about 21 or so. Burnt my scalp with

bleach before a colour and so had to have it all cut off and I wore a wig until

my hair grew back somewhat. Then, it was so funny, the first day I arrived at

work with just my own hair - one of the newer staff starting complimenting me on

my wig. Had to show her that for the first time since she had come to work - it

was actually my own hair. Don't think I ever used bleach on me head after

that!! A couple of hairdresser's have had to, just to finally strip my hair

because of new products that didn't work so good on me.

Gloria

My hair and its color comes in a box and lives on a styrofoam head when not

on mine. Don't ever have to color it. wash it once a month or so, and since

I have 4 that I wear, not even that often. Only required a good shake and a

little shaping after I put it on. Love it, it provides for my social life,

or I would stay home. Couldn't possibly go out with my own. Jan H

Oh, I love the sound of that game!!! Sure would keep the Christmas spending

down and yet have a howling good time.

Gloria

________________________________

its a game we adults play instead of buying for everyone...to many of us, it

provides us with over an hour of fun belly laughing almost to tears while the

babies play with their new gotten treasures. everyone brings a 25 dollar gift

and we draw numbers, #1 goes and picks a gift,he can chose to open it or hold

it,then #2 goes he can take number ones or go get his own and open it, and so on

down the line till all gifts are out then lucky #1 gets to take any gift he

chooses at the end. its fun, one year the money tree was exchanged to many times

so now we have a rule if its changed hands 3 times ya cant get it, so you have

to be stategic and team up with your spouse lol. they all try to find the best

dirty santa gift, for the year. its fun, we love it. then at the end of it, they

will all barter for gifts teeheehee. i love watching my kids laugh and play, i

pray the youngest gets out of her evil mood by christmas eve,or i will have to

spike her egg nogg for

the evening hahahahaha. i am sure there are other versions of it but thats

ours. in maine as a kid at school we called it the yanky swap. much love barby

22 years ago when my 16 year old daughter was pregnant with the grandson who

now lives with me, she went to what they called an alternative school, she

went to each of her classes for 15 minutes a week, handed in her homework

and got her assignments for the next week. The school was for pregnant

students and problems students who had to go to school but couldn't be in a

regular classroom and anyone else who for some reason wanted to take a

course there, such as kids where were emancipated and needed to work full

time. Was actually a good experience for her. She was bored with their

usual assignments, so asked for harder work, prepared her for college which

she started before graduating from high school. Then she transferred

college courses to the high school and graduated from there too. My second

daughter was harassed at regular school, so she transferred over too, and

did very well there too. After I graduated from college, I went there and

took some computer courses which helped me to get a job more than my college

degree. Jan H

I checked out my father's parents wedding date and the birthdate of my aunt,

their first child, and it didn't fit. But when I asked her when she was the

only one left, she denied it. But she also said she hadn't been

premature. lol Jan H

Jill, I am a bmom, involved in Search and Reunion in Minnesota. Do you mind

if I ask what you have done to find him? I don't know if Missouri has a

Yahoo search group, but many states do. Our MN group has found many

adoptees, just knowing the non identifying information with no names or

locations given. We can look at it and figure out the most likely places to

look, and then look for other things that give possible names. If you are

interested and need some help, let me know. Jan H
