I was hit by a drunk driver 6 years ago. The accident totaled my truck and ruptured three discs in my back. Get a good lawyer right away and get the bills to the insurance company immediately. My lawyer hesitated and the drunk's insurance went belly up on us. We were left with nothing but a bad back and a pile of bills.

Mercy should be extended to those deserving of it.
Punishment should fit the crime.
Dead murderers never kill again.

the details of who to send a gift to will be getting pm'd to you all either friday afternoon or saturday morning!

according to the information i've found online the last posting day for standard parcels is dec 11th for usa and december 15th for the uk/europe, so you should all have plenty of time to select and send a gift, although sending sooner rather than later is prefered.

can everyone taking part post on this thread what things they like, what their interests are etc so that the person who is buying a gift for you has some idea what to get you.

Thunder Rider

I still don't see that eveyone has said what they want???

Me: I like coffee, chocolate especially good white chocolate, and motorcycles. I read fantasy and sci-fi.

Sheila: Loves Rasberry stuff, candles, Bath and Body works etc. We do have a tree and she loves cute snowmen and snowflakes

crimson tears drift earthward on a cold wind from the north.

boughs and branches shed them with their movements back and forth.

Word Worker

The tools of my trade clutter no wooden bench or truck seat.
They are many and diverse.
Some well worn and decidedly familiar to the touch, others yet to even be unwrapped, for the proper situation has yet to present, and they be used in the manner intended.
I know where they all are, my tools, yet often have difficulty finding just the right one.
Sure, many are multipurpose, but the right one, in the right place, at the right time, is what distinguishes the apprentice from the master, and a master is what I yearn to be.
So I fumble through my tools, spending whatever time I must, to lay my hand on the right one. Once found my job proceeds again almost effortlessly, until I once again require that certain tool.
I hope one day to have used them all and often.
I hope their use will be appreciated by those who see the finished works.
I hope my efforts are not for nothing, or that I am chasing the wind.
It is said that if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.
I have all the tools; I'd even buy the hat, if I could only be known as a word worker, a writer.

Natures Way

Crimson tears drift earthward on a cold wind from the north.
Boughs and branches shed them with their movements back and forth.
Gray skies and mist hang heavy in November?s chill embrace.
I stand and watch in wonder as a stiff breeze chaps my face.
The days grow short and life retreats to hide from winter?s bite.
The sun makes shorter ventures out, as it yields to longer nights.
The starkness of a winter scene for many brings the blues.
But I love the time of natures rest and the calm of life subdued.
Soon will come the crispness of those crystal clear winter days.
With skies so bright and brilliant blue all spirits they will raise.
Frigid air breathed deeply in, can warm the human heart.
When you recognize that winter?s kill, enables life?s spring start.
The cycle is divinely set, of that much I am sure.
As 40 cycles now I?ve lived, I yearn for 40 more.
My years do paint me past my prime, but my life?s autumn I resist.
For each year?s change of season celebrates that I exist.
I know there?ll come a season when nature calls me to my rest.
I only pray I pass in wintertime, for ?tis the season I love best.
