Lurking?? How to find a home within all the forums and threads?

Me too. Oh I know it is probably because I do know him that well. But at times I hear my mom too and she has been gone for 9 years. I'm sure it is just all up in my head. I feel that way about smells too. Like the cologne mamma use to wear. It brings on a certain "peace" for me.

I would guess you really have a good enough connection that you do hear him without words. With her as well, your mind is connected with them. I think that people have communicated that way for a long long time. Only in the past years have people had too much other junk mixed in and have a harder time hearing because of it. I still hear from dad but I am comfortable with that so it doesn't surprise me. I know those things with the boys too and the grand kids. It is a stronger connection than with others.

They say there is a reason that people tend not to be there when there is a disaster, they had a premonition. Makes good sense to me. Sometimes even though you want to ignore the knowledge is there and you just know it is right.

My gosh when I read my last few comments...........I hope ya'll don't think I live a Bate's Motel. heehee I was just always real close to my mom, no matter how she treated me. Dad worked 3 jobs when I was little so I got closer to him as I got older and he quit working so much. I get a lot of his qualities.

Personally, it makes perfect sense to me. I don't doubt it at all.

When me and Ricky started dating a long long long time ago. He called one night and ask me to go somewhere with him and I always went but this one time. I told him no. I had a weird cold feeling come over me. When I got off the phone my mom came in the room and asked what was wrong with me because I was white as a sheet. She ask me why I didn't go and I told her it was because Ricky was gonna have a wreck and she laughed at me. About six hours later......Ricky called to tell me he was ok but he had been in a wreck. Weird? Right? Do you hear music? I do. heehee

Yep, see you have had premonitions before and they were right. Parents always tell kids that is ridiculous and the kids start to believe it and can't do it anymore because they get out of practice because they are too busy trying to ignore what they know...

You could be right about that one. I don't know. I get weird feelings all the time. But the main reason is just because I'm weird. A couple of weeks ago Paula called to see if I was at home and said her and Gary were coming over. When I got off the phone I told Ricky that they were going to bring ice cream. Sure nuff they did. They were trying to surprise me. Not this kid. I can tell when there's ice cream around me within 2 miles. heehee But it is weird when you have these feelings.

brb.......B

 

[Rat2chat2]

Sorry, I had to go to the bathroom. It was not a premonition. bahahahaha I think it was more the 2 cups of apple cider tea and the fear of sneezing. bahahahaha

Hey Tish Talons. What are you doing?

I just don't consider it odd. I think it is the most normal thing in the world. Bruce use to try and tell the boys they couldn't know things and I would tell him don't do that. They are perfectly capable of knowing them. The best one was we lived on a remote ranch when they were growing up and Clay told Bruce my Dad was going to be there that day. Bruce opened his mouth to say "it" and I stopped him. When we were out of his hearing he said how could he know that. We lived over 15 miles from a phone and the mailbox was the same distance so it wasn't like this kid could have talked to anyone... Dad showed up that afternoon and Bruce never told the boys they couldn't possibly know "that" again. LOL it was certainly impossible for anyone to have contacted any of us except through Bruce. The boys and I hadn't been anywhere else

Dad was coming from Colorado to SE New Mexico...

 

[Rat2chat2]

Yep, that sounds normal to me. Whatever normal is. heehee

Talking about mailboxes.... like we were really talking about mailboxes. How often do you go to the mailbox. I sent you something seems like a couple of weeks ago. Did you ever get my card? Just wondering.

You mean snail mail? I have the kids pick it up. I don't know when I got it last but it has been a while. I will have to go and see them and get it soon. I should have a package from AiV for Bruce too. I need to find an envelope and send you one of David's pics. I think you would like one!

 

[Rat2chat2]

Ok talk at you tomorrow.

Careful, I don't want to do like the other night and sleep a full 12 hours or whatever it was! That was crazy! I couldn't believe I was tired enough to do that!

That's more than I sleep all week I thought you had gone. Go already. Get some sleep.

 

[Tish Talons]

Did you really make that? Was it hard to get it to braid and keep it in place? I have always been tempted to do the hamburgers wrapped in bacon but never have done it.

Yeah, that's a pic we snapped just before it went in the oven, and it's actually really easy. You make the "bacon blanket" on a sheet of foil or wax paper (think basket weave) and then throw it in the freezer for about 20 minutes so it doesn't come apart when you flip it over onto the bird. You could use toothpicks to keep it in place, but I didn't use anything. It just stays on there. Then you wrap a couple pieces of bacon around the legs and wings. But don't forget to season the turkey before you wrap it. It still needs the seasoning, and I also rubbed it with butter that I mixed sage and rosemary into. It was delicious, and I can't wait to try it on other meats!

I was just reading back on today's conversations, and I must say that I'm sorry I missed it. I have lots to say on the topics of healing stones and second sight, most of it probably not particularly socially acceptable, but hey.... I'm not fussed about what people think of my beliefs.
