What this holiday means to me this year and My Birthday

[dogday]

I have posted a few threads about my plight with my landlord. We are very happy that we have successfully gotten a TRO against the Owner and it's agents from trying to mess with us.

I have since come to realize that this holiday is about Family and Home and not the amount of presents you give or receive... It is about so much more than that...


I wish everyone a happy holiday today, remember your family and be grateful you have a home and family...

BTW--Today is also MY Birthday:party:

18. I don't want to get this thread locked for dogday.

But have to say, outlawing premarital relations would pretty much deracinate the planet.

13. So true, I had my own Christmas Carol Story

this year... Sometimes lessons need to be learned, now matter how old you are.... I will always remember this day as one of the best I have had in my life.....

Same with my Birthday too!!!!

3. Very good news and so true

I read your original posts . You are right it is the family or the people you know and are close to that makes life . Nothing else on earth is more important , nothing one can buy or acquire by anyother means , no success or position can take the place of realationships of the heart .

[dogday]

14. Absolutely right...

Can't place a value figure on what I we have gone through and accomplished this Christmas.... I feel like I have my own Christmas Story now to be told.... Thanks for your wisdom...... :hi:

Always made sure my birthday gifts were in birthday wrap... I am glad she did that....
