As sure as the sun rises each morning and the sun sets each night, the seasons also change. Summer fades into autumn, autumn freezes into winter, and it must come to pass that... winter blossoms into spring. And so, dear John, so must all relationships change.... as sad as this may be to you... spring is approaching in Giggle's life. Spring... the beginning of new life. Spring... the promise of new hope. Spring... the cry of new adventures. Spring... the birth of the future. The bond between you and Giggles can never be broken. She will still depend upon you for momentary relief and solace. Knowing you are there when she needs you will always give her comfort. Without you, she knows she would be thrown back into primitive trips to the "back 40" and the not-so- fondly remembered (for some of us) Sears and Roebuck catalog pages. Do not be dismayed over this eminent change in your relationship to Giggles. Be at peace that you were there night and day when she needed you. Take heart that she will still need you for all the many years to come. And stand tall and be proud that you were there to help her prevail through her darkest hours. Because, John... come spring... Linda will be sprung!

I had a hospice patient who became more of a friend than a patient. She was not officially a hospice patient in that her cancer was felt to be "cured" and she was being followed by the hospice team simply because we had started out with her. Her cancer had been in her throat and she had received radiation to that area which had totally shrunk the tumor. Unfortunately she had some radiation damage that resulted in a tracheostomy. Since she could not talk much with the trach, she wrote notes, mouthed words and used some sign language. We had formed a real attachment and the last day I saw her, a Friday, she said goodbye to me by forming the ASL sign I love you. She experienced complications that weekend, went into the hospital and died from complications of her therapy. We were all in shock over her untimely death, and I still miss her, but I will always remember that my last glimpse of her was her signing "I love you", and whenever I see that sign, I think of her.

He was asked to speak at a national convention of cloning scientists. The meeting room was located on the 45th floor of a New York skyscraper. The scientist arrived with his clone and proceeded to the podium. The clone sat at the end of the head table. The scientist began the speech intending a tribute to the advances in the field of modern biology. "My fellow scientists," he began. But before he could utter another word, the clone sprang to his feet and shouted out, "he's an ASSHOLE!". The crowd began to murmur as the scientist commanded the clone to "sit down and shut-up!". Apologizing for the interruption, the scientist began again, "My fellow scientists,". Again the clone sprang to his feet and yelled, "this dumb ASS couldn't produce a copy on a Xerox. He's a fraudulent SON-OF-A-BITCH!". Incensed, the scientist rushed to the clone, grabbed him, and threw him out of the window. The crowd gasped and security rushed into the room. A short while later New York's finest arrived and were explained the events that had transpired. The police chief said to the scientist, "We are going to have to arrest you." The scientist replied, "For what? I have committed no crime. What fell from the window was a clone, not a person.". The attending scientists nodded in agreement. "Well," retorted the police chief, "we can not let this heinous act go unchallenged.". The police chief thought for a moment and ordered the scientist held for "Making an obscene clone fall..."

Thousands of pilots in our very own country are living at or just below the six figure salary line. And if that wasn't bad enough, many of them may go several weeks or months without a paycheck if they are forced by American Airlines management to strike. But now you can help. For about three hundred dollars a day -- that's less than the price of a 25" television set -- you can help keep a pilot economically viable during their time of need. Three hundred dollars a day may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to a pilot, it could mean the difference between a vacation fishing in Florida or a Mediterranean cruise. For you, three hundred dollars is nothing more than half a month's rent or mortgage payment. But to a pilot, three hundred dollars a day will almost replace his or her salary. Three hundred dollars a day will enable a pilot to upgrade his or her home computer, buy that new 100" television set, trade in the 6 month old Lexus for a Ferrari, or enjoy a dinner (with champagne) at The Mansion. "HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?" Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the crew member you sponsor. Detailed information about his or her stocks,bonds, 401K, and real-estate holdings will be mailed to your home. You will be able to watch your pilot's net worth grow. You'll also get information on how they chose to invest their 1.2 million dollar lump sum they get upon their retirement. "HOW WILL THEY KNOW I'M HELPING?" Your pilot will be told that he or she has a SPECIAL FRIEND that just wants to help. Although the pilot won't know your name, he or she will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in case they need more funds. - ------------------------------------------------------------- I want to help!!

It means the world to us right now. I can't answer everyone individually, so please understand when I send this to the list. My Father-in-law got through 24 hrs. with no swelling of the brain or pressure build-up. So they took the monitor out of his head today. His vitals are still stable. He is stil on the ventilator, but they said for every 16 breaths he takes per minute, only 6 are the machine. He is being weaned off of it. He is still unresponsive. He squeezes your hand, but only spontaniously. Never when they ask him to. He also hasn't woke up yet. They won't know the extent of the brain damage until he wakes up, so they are really hoping he does it soon. He is still very pale and fragile looking. If I hadn't known, I would have sworn it was a different man laying in the bed. My mother-in-law (age 83) is looking pretty fragile right now too. She is so afraid we will lose him. The doctors are reassuring, but it is still hard on her. We are trying to just take things day by day. Thanks again for all the prayers and good thoughts.

Hey Angelhrt, Don't wait to buy those brass stencils! They're great, but any stencil will work as long as it's tinted, not clear. 2 tips to remember, 1.the side of your card you want raised, that't the side to put the stencil on. I prefer to tape my stencil onto the card itself. For the raised impression, place the stencil on the face of the card. For the depressed image, place it on the inside of the card. This makes it easier to color in using chalks, paints or markers. If you're coloring in chalks, use a q-tip or makeup applicator, if using marveys us a makeup sponge and using markers, do this free hand, you can get a more creative look. Or small stencil brushes work well also. 2. When you flip the card over to "trace the stencil" with you're stylus, place a piece of waxpaper over the card stock. Not only does this cut down on the "scratching" noise, but it makes the stylus glide easier and you're hand won't get as tired. This is very important when there is a lot of detailing to do. If you're into scrapbooking and have templates for cutting the pictures out, you can make some great shapes to enhance a stamp by using this as your stencil. But be careful, these things are very addictive and you can find yourself looking for templates all over the place. Have fun! If you want to swap a card, I'd be happy to! Enjoy! Julie S. suds@southtech.net PS: Look for the blue laser stencils at Michael's. They're cheaper and the images are better suited for a complete card face rather than a small image. When using tape on the stencil and card, use either freezer tape or masking tape. I use masking tape and get rid of the excess stickyness by using it to de-lint my clothes. Any other questions, just ask. ------------------------------ From: valobra Date: Sun, 2 Mar 1997 20:39:12 -0700 (MST) Subject: Re: Sign language It has been fun reading funny stories re: sign language. Let me share with you few stories (personal expierence and yes TRUE STORY) I will tell you one tonight. Many years ago My Parents bought a farm and as a bonus the Real Estate Agent treated my parents and all the kids to dinner at this very fancy resturant. It was such a treat because theres 7 kids and my parents do not take us out to eat. This resturant was at Willoway Manor. A mansion turned resturant. We were seated in a "bedroom" upstairs and we were all so awed by how fancy it was and all. My sister and I decided we needed to use the ladies room. As we were on our way there we stopped midway down the spiral staircase to admire a vase on a shelf on the wall. I didnt know there was a lady behind me who needed to get downstairs as well. She said excuse me but I didnt hear her, she said it again and I still didnt hear her after the third time a bit louder and more sarcastic (according to my sister) she said out loud EXCUSE ME... ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING? My sister turned to her and said "yes she is deaf" This poor lady nearly had a heart attack, stammered and shuttered and shook and kept saying oh I am so sorry I am so sorry and etc. I thought it was hilarious and i hope it possibly taught this woman a lesson!!! I have more stories to tell you guys... Some are unbelieveable. Wait till you hear about them!!! valobra daMadStamper ------------------------------ From: Julie Carleton Date: Sun, 02 Mar 1997 22:36:59 -0500 Subject: RS Floral Swap received I received my Floral swap yesterday. Thanks for hosting Jodi T.! All of the cards I received are really nice. Violetnut made a cutout card. It's hard for me to describe it. The image of a watering can with sunflowers was stamped on the wrong side of the front, then the right side of the image was cut out. She folded the image back so it shows from the front. I never thought of doing this! I'm going to try it out real soon. She also put a cut sticker (stamped) of a girl holding flowers in her arms on the back of the card. Wanda stamped and embossed in gold the Hybrid Rose from PSX on a piece of dark wine colored mulberry paper. This was layered on the same color cardstock. Very pretty. Pamela Moore made a nice card pink tulips stamped on white paper, edged with a paper edger and layered onto pink cardstock. This maks me feel very spring like! Angelhrt made an interesting card. Pink cardstock the right edge was cut with a fancy edger, the exposed edge underneath was foiled with silver foil (where did you getthis?). In each corner there is a little flure-de-lee (sp?) layered. In the center two red roses are stamped on to white cardstock, again edgeed with fancy scissors. This is layered onto some 3D vinyl that's layered onto the pink cardstock. StampinSis made an elegant card with dark wine cadstock. The corners ade punched with one of the corner punches. Layered onto this is a piece of light blue cardstock. The corners of this are very fancy! Then there is a layer of a circle of dark wine mulberry paper, layered onto this is the image of a hydranga colored in lavender. Once again I am amazed by all the talent I see. i have some great ideas from these cards.
