TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 25 Mar 10

So I'm looking at the list the school gave me of counselors. This is for my daughter who is suffering from anxiety. And I see the name of the nice marriage counselor lady that we're seeing. And I'm thinking, hm, well I know her, I...

cloudwatcher Hi Dawn. I miss my friends here but I think the slowness is worse than yuwie ever was. I am keeping well and busy, with not much spare time so I think myLot won't be a priority. I popped in here because I had notification that someone had responded to one of...

cloudwatcher Hi Deb. Thanks for the BR. I haven't been here for a loooooong time. Things have changed here. Considering the number of ads at log in and the dreadful sloooooowness of the site, I don't expect my patience will allow me to be here much.

God's Plan in your life. Knowing your Role

afarrell1 @afarrell1 (258) • United States 22 Oct 09

Recently there has been a lot of preaching going on about following your calling from God - God has given you a gift and you need to step up and use it - Don't hide your talents like the foolish man in the parable. That sort of...

USELESS! or are you being stretched in order to reach your potential?

cloudwatcher Thanks Abbey. I must say (with hindsight) that I am very thankful for the "stretches" in my life, even though I would have been pleased NOT to have experienced some in my early years. To be honest I am missing the constant stretches of the past 10...

Don't Juuuump....

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 22 Sep 10

So I'm back from my walk (beautiful day today), and I walk up the stairs, and there is a guy in the hall looking into the elevator shaft, doing maintenance, I assume. And I suppress this overwhelming urge to shout "don't jump",...

cloudwatcher I must remember that if ever I visit there! I can imagine asking a shop assistant where they keep the pot plants. That would be worse than asking for the manchester department in England. (here in Oz all linen is called manchester and every department store...

So we went to see a movie with the kids on Saturday, "Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hool". There was a part where our young hero and his friends are headed toward the sea in search of the Guardians. And when they reach...

cloudwatcher CONGRATULATIONS! I love to hear success stories like that, but I must admit there are many more "if only" ones. Keep on being stretched. There is even greater victory ahead. While my first response to a challenge is usually "I can't do that!" thankfully I...

cloudwatcher I was thinking of the mobile phone. I can manage to make and receive a call when I am away from home, but when I see young people and all the things they do on a "phone" I am staggered. Something to eliminate harm to the environment would be something. I've...

cloudwatcher Hi Hatley. I already KNEW that you are one person who would accept stretching and would persevere and would achieve to the limit of your ability and beyond. You have ALREADY been stretched and have shown that you are made of stronger stuff. You are an example...

cloudwatcher I tried to Google my father's (I have trouble calling him that) name but I only found other people with the same name. The Gosport Council didn't even have a list of previous mayors. I'm not really interested - just thought it might be revealing.

cloudwatcher I'd never thought about "pot plant" before. It conjures up an unusual indoor decoration. You are right: it should be potted plant. Don't you call them pot plants there? Must be the lazy Aussie way.

cloudwatcher Hi Dawn. My first response to a challenge is usually "I can't do that!" but I have to admit that my most satisfying achievements have been the things I thought impossible. They tell us that even the most brilliant people only use a tiny amount of their...
