Hi ya Darlin, Just a thought here.... I was wondering, by the looks of your picture you do bunnies, right? Ummm, when you insert your eyes, do you pull the string from one eye to the other and back? Do I make any sense? If so it makes me wonder by doing this it pulls the eyes somewhat to the side of the head as like a bunny. If maybe starting the needle down by the center back of the neck and going up to one eye and back down to the neck then to the other eye and back to the center neck. It will pull the eyes more inward to the head, and not give an "frown" to the eyebrow.
Hope this helps....  :hug:  :hug:

Thank you all for your information. As soon as they asked about the cell phone, I cancelled the invoice I sent them. I figured that it was a scam of some sort.......
But like you said Miss Cathy, they prey on our good nature.
Miss Lady Bren, Well, I wonder who else that they e-mailed....?

About 10 days ago I received an email from a potential buyer for my bear Barrett from Bearpile. I e-mailed the needed info and invoice to them. Then a couple days later, they said that they had been surfing the internet and found that a certain cell phone they want is cheaper here in the US then overseas and asked if I could find this cell phone for them and they will pay for it also. I thought how weird this is.... I replyed with a generous thank you for wanting to adopt my Barrett, but I have no knowledge in cell phones and would not be able to help them with it. <Also, I wanted to tell them "I am not in the cell phone business either"...but did not, for fear of the loss of an adoption> So then... of course....after a week now, I have not heard a reply back about the adoption  bear_wacko  crazy huh......

What is up with ebay? I have a Panda bear listed on ebay right now... Which is to end this afternoon.
My confusions is, I listed it as a "feature listing" right.
I do not see it there in the featured. And I have been charged by ebay for the feature listing.
My counter is sooooo low, which is what made me check to see if it was in the featured listings...
What do ya'll see? Am I just loco?

Hi Tammy,
My Grandfather used the copper braclets for years and like Ms Rosenbaum said, "copper is copper". But if they think it helps them, thats good too.
Also, by experience of my own, I use the cream rub called "Blu-emu" super strength for my hands. It works great. It would be great it if you can get the real emu oil like Ms Rosenbaum spoke of.
Also, my Grandfather had arthritis in his hips. For as long as I can remember he carried a ....get this...... a little potato in his back pocket! It never rotted or gave an odor. As a matter of fact, it would get as hard as a rock after time. He claimed that it helped, there again if they think it makes them feel better, what harm can it do... :hug:  :hug:

Thank you gals,

Brenda, Viewing you beautiful pendants is actually what had lead me to the wire wrapping. So when my hubby asks me why I'm not "Bearin it", I'll just pass the buck on to you....  bear_grin   :crackup:  :crackup:

A family that lives on the outskirts of West Milford , NJ decided to build a sturdy, colorful playground for their 3 and 4 year old sons. They lined the bottom with smooth-stone gravel all around to avoid knee scrapes and other injuries. They finished building it one Friday evening and were very pleased with the end product.

The following morning, the mom was about to wake up the boys and have them go out to play in their new play center. This is what she saw from the upstairs window:

This gives a whole new meaning to 'build it and they will come'!

Bless her heart  :hug:  :hug: 
I bet that was frightening for her, but it sounds as if she was very brave and very informed on what to do....
kudo's to you and your girl.  bear_thumb  bear_flower  :hug:

Yes, it is very heart wrenching to see town's that were just swiped off the face of the earth.  bear_cry The Mayor of Galveston is telling people, "Do not come back." There is nothing left in some of the community's to come home too.
I agree, the quickest way to get help to them is the redcross.org
Any amount will be sufficient....

Roxanne

This is so much fun!
I love to bake and discover other recipes, especially the English culture.
Well, here is my Toad in the hole, and a fairy cake.
Did I do good?
Oh, Note to self...... Do NOT grab the frying pan handle after you take it out of the oven while hot  :redface:

Oh Miss Kat, What is bangers and mash? Sounds super interesting to me!
Thank you friends  :hug:

Roxanne

Thank Julie! That sounds like an beautiful idea!
Oh, I have had her yorkshire pudding..... Yummo! She makes it with her roast and we smother them with the gravy..Love it. She has also spoke of bubbles and squeak and toad in a hole. Is that right?

The stottie sounds great too. What is "clotted cream"? Is it like a whipped cream or a cream cheese?
Thank you!

Roxanne

Oh, never mind... :redface:  I googled it and they are cupcakes.... bear_whistle
Thanks anyways.......... :hug:
