I am thankful ...I am thankful for healthy children. I am thankful for the dirty clothes and dirty dishes I have to wash. I am thankful I have food to cook. <br /><br />I am thankful that my 12 year old can now babysit my younger two children which gives me the freedom I longed for these past 12 years. <br /><br />I am thankful for the few people in my life who have very different beliefs than me and yet they respect my views without trying to change me. I do the same for them and it's a beautiful thing. (It is sad how rare it is to find people who really do want to co-exhist.) <br /><br />I am thankful that I met David and he led me to you all.

If the site asks me to join or pay, I move on to the next site - free clip art should be free. If I wanted "clip art for sale" or "clip art free to members only" I would have specified that in my google! I access the internet from a Mac with iPhoto, so when I see something I like I just right click and drag it into my iPhoto file, then put it into the blog post by clicking on the photo icon and taking the image from my iPhoto file.<br />Good luck in illustrating future posts with truly free clip art!Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-7681448674246757492010-11-01T11:32:35.418-04:002010-11-01T11:32:35.418-04:00Clip Art!

They seem to want to attack you like a leach. Closing these sites is a haunted house tunnel.<br />So, do you have a site you feel is safe? I've never even made it to a place I'd want to try and cut and paste, because they all want you to download tons of junk, and/or only send you to a selling place.<br />I always admire those of you who put it up, but I can never find how to do it.<br />Oh well. My verification word is vulfgh--sounds like a brain fog, so seems appropriate.<br />PatgPatghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046665022709722606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-22912103733080705292010-11-01T10:32:35.428-04:002010-11-01T10:32:35.428-04:00Welcome home, Ramona!Welcome home, Ramona!Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-66106445370662012652010-11-01T09:23:01.287-04:002010-11-01T09:23:01.287-04:00I've just returned from a two week visit to so...I've just returned from a two week visit to south Louisiana, seeing relatives.

The weather's been lovely lately, the kids are healthy, Halloween went off without a hitch - no one got sick, unlike last year - and despite the fact that I can't settle down to work on any writing (too many ideas to pick one), don't have much cause for complaint.

Although I prefer words that sound strange and look kind of funny (like "google"), "thanks" was fun to play with.<br /><br />But, Pat, does that cup keep the coffee too hot to drink forever?<br /><br />And Linda, I hope whatever's going wrong for your family has turned the corner and is starting to go right.Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-39424723127392271932010-11-01T07:38:48.043-04:002010-11-01T07:38:48.043-04:00Right now, I'm thankful for my fellow Working ...Right now, I'm thankful for my fellow Working Stiffs! Even though I've never met some of you in person, I feel like "yinz guys" are part of my family.<br /><br />I, too, will be thankful the negative ads will be over. At least until the next campaign. Sigh. The sad thing is that many voters believe what they hear in the ads, when ALL of them contain lies. I'm voting too, but I'm probably one of the few who actually checked the facts. And don't get me started on the idiots who pull the lever for "vote all democrat" or "vote all republican" because that's their party and they can't think for themselves.<br /><br />And, no. I'm not telling who I'm voting for either. Working Stiffs is strictly non-partisan!Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-9795549991819610782010-11-01T07:33:41.782-04:002010-11-01T07:33:41.782-04:00At the moment I'm thankful for November.

It does seem to make a post a little more entertaining. Although I haven't really used it much myself yet. I guess that I should start, since I like it. :-)<br /><br />I enjoyed reading your analysis of the word, "thanks."Laurienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-90167349691987111922010-11-01T06:17:28.123-04:002010-11-01T06:17:28.123-04:00I'm also thankful for too many things to menti...I'm also thankful for too many things to mention -- though I may indeed address some when it's my time to blog next week. In the meantime, a small thing making me happy and thankful is my new travel coffee mug that keeps my coffee hot for four hours -- without having to plug something in.
