What are you Thankful for this year?
by Gretchen956 ini don't know about you all, but i've been out a long time, long enough to form some traditions.
this time of the year i get reflective about what i'm thankful for in my life.
here's my list (by no means complete, in no special order, but what i can think of off the top of my head):my brother came out safe from his fire and only lost a few possessionsthat i have two brothers of my family of seven siblings that i can be close to and we can all love each other unconditionally outside the borg.that i have a partner that puts up with me!that i have two dogs and two cats that make me smile and laugh out loud every day.that i have a son that i'm good good friends with.that i have a roof over my head and food to eat.that i have transportation to where i need to go.that i have love in my life.that i have my spiritual base.that i have a job to pay my bills and a little extra.for my friends.for jwd and all you awesome posters here.that despite problems, there is still beauty in this earth.that there are still good, generous people.. sherry

Fire in Portland!!
by Gretchen956 indetails are sketchy yet, but my brother tim, whom many of you portlanders have now met, had a fire in his apartment this morning.
the damage isn't total, but its devastating.
he did not have rental insurance, and the fire marshall says the cause is an extension cord he had daisy-chained into a surge protector.

The Moral of the story is...... (fluff)
by Gretchen956 ina teacher told her young class to ask their parents for a family story with a moral at the end of it, and to return the next day to tell their stories.
in the classroom the next day, joe gave his example first, "my dad is a farmer and we have chickens.
one day we were taking lots of eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the truck when we hit a big bump in the road; the basket fell off the seat and all the eggs broke.
