dahs512: you've had a rough time lately
frogger70301: it's getting better.
dahs512: good
frogger70301:
cold
weather does some good tricks on my young little bones. 
dahs512: and the kitty loss was sad
auntyalias: I'll post to the list that we're here
frogger70301: yeah, but I wasn't completely attached. I only had him for a few weeks.
dahs512: i have 4 and one pissed on my son's bed. Don't know who the culprit is
frogger70301: Wasn't as bad as the one I lost during the storms last year.
dahs512: it's always sad to lose one
frogger70301: the litten got my leather jacket.
dahs512: pee?
frogger70301: yup. when he first showed up over here.
dahs512: markin' his spot...lol
frogger70301: sure did.
dahs512: I did a big orchid...finished the one i started during NJ's demo
frogger70301: I'm painting a flower pot.
dahs512: i bought some teensie ones at Joanne's
dahs512: didn't know what i needed it for
frogger70301: pots and trays?
dahs512: just pots
frogger70301: oh, I was gonna say make some little bird baths and sculpt a bird taking a bath in them.
dahs512: oh, cool
frogger70301: that's why I'm painting my pot.
frogger70301: gonna make a bird bath to sit on a shelf, and hopefully later on I'll sculpt a bird to go ibn it.
dahs512: mini or full size
frogger70301: six inch tray, so almost full size.
dahs512: big
dahs512: should we turn our cams on while we are waiting?
frogger70301: although I'm thinking of trying it smaller until I get the hang of it.
auntyalias: may as well
auntyalias: I was just chatting with a friend of mine, he lives with his friend's grandmother who is ill
auntyalias: so he needed a hug
frogger70301: Don't have mine hooked up, and got to much of a mess to get it .
auntyalias: reminds him of when his grandmother died
frogger70301: give him a hug from me.
chenoa_2b joined the room
auntyalias: I told him that those we love who passed on are never away from us if we keep them alive in our hearts
auntyalias: if they loved us, we love others
auntyalias: if they had faith in us, we should encourage others
auntyalias: that way we do honor for our dead
