Hugs and hairpats to Aimee ... and everyone else who needs them.

Raq, if you're interested in making something for Mal's Christmas stocking, I'm planning a trip to a craft store (A.C. Moore) and G Street Fabrics this weekend - want me to look for something for you? If so, let me know - profile addy's good.

ETA - sj, another source might be a museum shop - I've seen lovely ornaments and such in the (innumerable) catalogues I get.

Aimee, I'm so sorry for your loss. Strength and peace to you and your family.

Stephanie, one of my friends who signs is using Signing Time with his son, and of all the things he's tried, he's gotten the best results with it. [link]

Thanks Toddson! I think I will do that, as I'm not finding anything online. I made the rest of our stockings, so I should make Mal's too.

Raq and Stephanie, my friend M's daughter LOVES Signing Time. I'm getting it for my neice for Christmas.

Raq, send me a list. I plan to make the trip Saturday, so let me know by Friday (no Internet at home ... sigh ... so I only have access during office hours). Also where to send stuff.

Peace to you, Aimee.

Gah. I just talked to my sister. I want to kill the little fucker.

MM, thank you for letting us know.

Aimee, all my love to you and your family. Please call me when you're home so I can pamper and coddle you.

I want to kill the little fucker.

That shithead.

(((Aimee))) Strength and peace to you and your family.

Brenda, you could always publish his email addy here... IJS. Meanwhile, sympathies and realizing-he-was-a-jerk and getting-over-him-quickly vibes to your sister.

Gud, those are some extremely cute kids. And the dogs look like they'll be loads of fun. Goodonya for pound rescue dogs, too!

bt--the FAUNAPALOOZA post was the most fun, ever! I'll be reading bits of it all day, just to summon a smile.
