Those are great! (Picture of symbol included)
Thanks! I'll definitely have to put those to vote for the kids! This is the symbol I came up for with them to see if they like. Something simple that can be printed on shirts, newsletters, etc. I used "SEEKERS" but it will be whatever name they want.
Oh--an AVATAR picture! Well, that I can help with!
The key there is SIZE of the picture--has to be 100x100 pixels. If you need help, you are welcome to e-mail me your picture and I will re-size it for you and send it back. Just click on my name to send it to me. If you already have it resized and ready to go, just go into your profile (which for some reason you can only edit when you post a message) and upload it directly from your computer.
Well that's weird, puts a symbol where I said 6 ft 5 and 5 ft 7. Nmsg

I'm a Pagan, too. There's probably more of us
than most people (or even we) know, but then again, we don't feel the need to be running around pushing it in other people's faces. I have my own beliefs in how the universe works, and have my own nonbeliefs as well. I dont need people telling me what to believe, i pretty much just figure it out for myself as I go along in life.
What's wrong with being pagan?
I'm not a pagan, but what's wrong with paganism? (I am an atheist.)
Wow, what a Scrooge or should I say Pagan?

I am a pagan and I agree
I believe there is no tribute to Jesus in commercializing Christmas. If you are a Christian and follow the bible in John 4:23 it says “The true worshipers shall worship the Father in the spirit and in truth”, yet you go through the rituals and accept family traditions at the holidays as “truth” when in actuality it has nothing to do with a Jesus.
The Christmas tree was actually a symbol of the resurrection of a pagan god. The pagan sun worshippers would place a Yule log on their fire to symbolize that their pagan god, Nimrod, had died. The next day they would cut down an evergreen tree to stand in their homes to symbolize the resurrection of Nimrod through his son Tammuz. The green tree was a symbol of life and was decorated in red berries and small balls that represented the sun.
The actual birth date of the Christ child is not known. The date of Dec 25th was chosen by Pope Julius I. It seemed to be a convenient choice since Saturnalia (a celebration of the god Saturn), as well as all winter solstice festivals fell around the same time. Early Christians thought it an abomination to celebrate a pagan god, so they combined Saturnalia with their own holiday – the birth of the Christ child - and created a single celebration for their own uses.
Santa Claus is a mythological figure, also pagan. He was of Norse legend. The Norse believed that the goddess Hertha appeared in the fireplace and brought good luck to the home.
It is strange that a day never mentioned in the bible should become the so-called “Christian” holiday of the entire year. A day never celebrated by Yeshua the Messiah, or his apostles, or others.
So for all those who believe they are being “good Christians” by celebrating Jesus birthday on Dec 25th and going through all the rituals, you are actually honoring the pagan sun gods, and making a lot of stores lots of money.
To pagan below about solstice
Didn't want to hijack that thread. Have you been to 13moons.com? It's a store, but you can sign up for their newsletters. They send out newsletters for our holidays with different stuff in it, crafts, etc. They are really neat people. They always personally sign order sheets and throw in a freebie here and there if they run out of something. Merry winter! I love winter.
Right, and pigs fly. You outed yourself as pagan by the way you
made your post.
trying new Avatar
Just testing.
Yep, he's my Avatar
I think I did have Adam Levine at one point. I can't wait until Nip/Tuck starts again. How about some of those storylines? Charmed is another good one to see him on. David Boreanaz is cute too. I've only watched Bones and couple of times, though.
cute avatar !
still testing Avatar
hope this works
Your avatar is really cute.......
Congratulations! 
Hi! Love your avatar
Twins - hoo boy! Good luck. Hope you have lots of family around to help.
Welcome to MT Stars! 
how did you get your avatar to show
I have changed it but it won't show when I post? Watch it work this time.
I love your Avatar !!!! nm

Check out this avatar--it's my husband
Just so you can see what I have to live with! I cropped myself out, but I was lying on the couch with my trusty glass of cheap wine trying to hide. The camera was set on "auto" and this is his dance he did for it. Oh to be me....
How do you add an avatar and do you hae to do that each time you post?
nm
I don't know how to make the avatar thing work.... :(
:(
Progressive. Try them for a quote.
State Farm dropped my brother and I from my parents for speeding tickets when we were both 16. I went with Progressive. It was a higher premium, but at least I was insured, which is most important. In our state though, you lose your license for a DUI. It is a shame they dropped you as the parent.
Love that quote!!!
I will have to remember that one! Thanks for your post.
That is "love your quote" - DUH! LOL
nm
How 'bout this quote:
Gentlemen, please, rest your sphincters.
Thanks, I will get a quote on their website. (nm)
x
That's supposed to be quote. Sorry.
nm
I might get a different quote on an engine...
$10,000 seems very high.
this is actually the worst, I quote:
'.......Aren't boomer women great? They know how to solve a man's mid-life crisis without even breaking a sweat!'
This is so ridiculing and portraying the woman as cold and materialistic.
Third time is the charm! I put my baby as my avatar in my profile.
Man, I'm just not a techie!
Here's the "Rainbow Bridge" quote (sm)
I personally don't believe in a god or an afterlife, but this little story makes a lot of people feel better when their animal passes, and if that can bring comfort to someone in a time of grief, I'm all for it.
"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... "
Another heaven quote I love!!
Perspective on Death:
Death is God carrying us in one arm while the other flings aside heaven's door to welcome us back to the blazing hearth of our first home
.... while those inside, having arrived before us, rush to the door like glad children shouting, "They're here!"
Death has a bad name on earth but in heaven it's a homecoming party everytime the door opens.
God does not forget those earthbound children, sad and left behind.
God leaves the party early to enter into their despair and to get them ready for their own parties SOME DAY!
Phyllis Koehl (author)
Nice quote! I will remember this one. nm
!
Can you name a movie, and then write a quote or two from it?
Jerry Maguire..."show me the money" and "you had me at 'hello.'"
In reply to your post where you stated, and I quote: (sm)
"I think that is why pharmaceutical companies are in the business (reference to to making money) or am I missing something here? "IMO, yes, you are missing something. IMO, Pharmaceutial Companies and the medications they produce save millions of lives each year, as well as allowing ill people to lead productive lives, improve their quality of life, as well as extended their life. While I do agree with your statement regarding making money, I believe wholeheartedly that medications save and extend peoples' lives.
I'm waiting for a quote from Tom Cruise to surface, being he's the expert on EVERYTHING. nm

Funny thing....I will never forget reading a quote from Yoko Ono sm
When asked why she never smiled, she said her parents had told her, "Smiling is for shopkeepers."
Well, obviously not this one! 
Just wanted to comment on the wonderful quote at the bottom of your post!
xx
The text is a direct quote from TMZ, word for word.
Word for word from the title to the very end.
Picture -- I got it!
Are we there yet???? Woof
She took a picture of him NM
NM
Picture?
Test. Made Avatar that picture. If it does not show still would someone explain how to do that please
Here is the picture.
Finally. I was forgetting to put in the profile ID.
The big picture is what happens to the cat (sm)
or any other pet for that matter, when we move them onto someone else. Is there a guarantee they will find a good home--or a home that gives them as much TLC as you do?
I had a young cat that went right through my screen windows...I mean RIGHT THROUGH the darned screens to get outside and then used them to get back in! Ruined at least 5 of them. I thought about a cat door, but there are other critters out in these parts I do not want coming into the house to sneak a snack, so nixed that idea. I tried to see if he'd like being a barn cat and staying outsite 24/7 with a nice warm barn to sleep and nope, he wanted in (hence the crashing through the screens). He also shredded the rubber seals around both my doors.
I could just pawn him off on a shelter in an area where feral cats are up the wazoo knowing there was a good chance he would be euthanized if not adopted within the 14-day limit, or give him away to some unknown person (tales of cats being used for coyote bait do exist up here), or put up with the destruction for however long he lived.
My little niece came up to visit from out of state one summer and fell in love with this PIA of a cat. They were inseparable. She asked her parents if they could take him home and they said yes. I packed up his little kitty carrier with all his toys, some food, health records, and kissed him goodbye. She sends me pictures and is always updating me with his antics. He doesn't crash through their windows and follows my niece around like a puppydog. It's been 3 years now and thankfully it all worked out beautifully.
If I were in your shoes, love him, and could guarantee a lifetime indoor home for him, I'd have him declawed. The alternative could be much, much worse.
This definitely not my picture
The grandchildren on son's side only grandchildren I have. I have a daughter that I possibly see every 3 or 4 months- no shopping trips, occasional lunch out. When my grandson born (older than the GD) I asked if before going to the maternal GMs house after delivery if they would stop by the house for a minute so I could hold- had never even held the child (after being asked to not visit in the hospital 1 night, mother tired and then told next day G-aunt and maternal GM both there the previous night, held and diapered!) and told no, I could come over later to hold the G-son. Waited, waited, called and told to wait longer as others (including aunts, cousins, etc.) still holding. This started right from the get go. I always from the day my son married knew and expected for his wife to come first, before me, no question there- the only thing is I would have thought I could have at least shared some of the g-children. Before my last marriage I was charged for any and all things done at my home by my son, grands and the like- not the other side. Why would I be treated any different? This family on DIL's side have no outside friends- they are their own friends and socalize all together. I have always been last and I just finally accepted. Oh, by the way, did not tell about my DIL stealing money from me- I never ever mentioned that to my son nor others- I would certainly not be believed. She also hurt my credit for 7 years- allowed her to use 1 of my cards- she bought things for her G-mom and g-mom paid but DIL kept that money instead of paying the bill. This again I never said anything about, always just thinking well if I say anything, not believed and could keep the kids away always, now just threw in that ole towel!

Why would we laugh? I love the cheetah print - I'm such a diva at times or was in my younger, much thinner years! You are a very pretty woman with a few years of maturity behind you. I wouldn't want to be in my 20's or 30's again for all the tea in China. Great picture. Thanks
My dad took a picture of my new car.
I got my Yaris a couple of weeks ago, and he took this picture for me last Sunday. If you are looking for an excellent little car that gets great gas mileage, you might like one of these too.
Another picture
Here is another picture of Santahoe
They should take another picture
using their hands to sign the L on the forehead (as in LOSER) and send that to the police dept and the school administration. Maybe that would get a message across.
see picture
(I know this should probably be on the main board, but could not see how to upload the image.)
THIS IS WHERE YOU CALL WHEN YOU HAVE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS.
THIS IS INDIA......
the big picture
They have lower prices because they do not pay their employees a living wage, do not provide benefits, etc., etc., etc. They are what is wrong with this country today. They did to retail what MTSOs are doing to us. And people are eating it up. They go into a town and drive all the other businesses out. People have no choice but to work there. Then they pay them crappy wages with no benefits so they can keep costs low. you are supporting an industry that does to its people what we are complain about in ours. Americans should boycott WalMart and force them to pay their employees decently and force them to provide benefits. WalMart was named time after time as the biggest offender in this regard. About 80% of their employees have no insurance because they keep them working "part time" (32 to 36 hours) and then don't have to give them benefits or when they offer the benefits they price them so the people can't afford to pay for them. Do some research on them. you may not like what you find. And try to find American made products there. Why do people not see that sometimes saving a buck costs $10 in the end. Cut off your nose to spite your face, as my mom would have said.
Let's see if I can do this - pug picture
