Okay you all know that is Merry Christmas in Hawaiian sooo I can do it in English too. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Just came back from Christmas Shopping for my wife. It was fun because I do insane now on purpose and don't take myself seriously when I act it out. Had a lot of laughs with the very very young sales clerks and meeting some old (my age too) friends. I don't shop except for work related stuff. I ended up with a gift card for my wife and a funny Christmas card. After all a gift card was what she wanted, she can buy her own wants and the Christmas card was true to my personality.
Polar Bear says "The best part of Christmas I like are the elves"
open the card
"To me they taste just like chicken".
My wife knows who she is married to so she will guffaw also...she doesn't take me seriously either unless.....
I could not find my heart getting involved with what I was doing...Love isn't stuff no matter how hard and shiny, how colorful or sweet smelling. Love doesn't relate to words like Chanel or Opium or any of the other ewwws....er....eaus on the counter. Love for me anyway knows that the relationship matures with time, participation and personalities. I love period and my wife's participation and personality are the ones I spend more time with than the other loves I have. (she doesn't completely love that statement opting to be "thee only love in my life"). She is the only wife in my life and the only female I am loyally attached to and then not the only love. "Love is the complete and total acceptance of every other human being for exactly who they are". (Al-Anon member 1984ish). I don't shop for any other love than my wife...notice that none of you got money or presents from Jerry F. I love you all, openly and much and I pray all of your Christmas's are hugely happy.
Mahalo so much for gifting me with your ESH and love for the time I have been around you and the times I carry your messages with me. There is no Santa Claus that can or could have done that for me...I know then that MIP and all of you are a figment of my HP's love for me and I am grateful.
Jerry, that was beautiful.....I've been a bit blue today, walking down memory lane, etc., and reading your post, here, gave me a bit of a boost.....I send you happy Christmas wishes for you and the family.......BIG hugs

David ...just got off some info about the wind coming from the south in your area and how its been coming off of ice flows...seems its gonna get colder for you all in NZ. Putting on another blanket in memory of you. (((hugs)))
I'm trying to guess what show you're meaning Cathy. The wind in NZ or the lava flow show or? Our show right now is crazy weather and scenery. Kinda like sitting in a San Franncisco fog out some. Lava is only bout 21 miles away or so and won't come this way unless Madam Pele gets really, really pissed and then she is a Madam right? No dispersion being cast on any other ladies. Pele's story isn't a nice one. She will equalize with fire before leaving new lands. She's revered as a hottie. (((hugs)))
