Becoming a VIP Member once again was kind of exciting to me. I was one for a long time but when they raised the price, I just couldn't see me paying for that and not expecting any extra for it. I was wrong. I really missed it in so many ways.

 I didn't put myself as the important person at all but the grab team made me feel important and so helpful to me when I had an issue. They were right there.

 And I missed the games! Even though there's one I have an issue with but oh well. I can and will deal with it because if I know Skatemode and the rest of the grab staff they will solve the issue, they always do.

 I've  went to other game sites and they just don't have it like Grab. Even if you're not a VIP member, there's still so many games to play. The other sites didn't.

 So here it is to you Grab, the staff and the moderators. You are great! I'm sure there's a lot that don't agree with me, but that's their opinion.

 Anyway it's great to be back as a VIP member and being able to play my games. Thanks.

Going through some of the pictures of the pets here made me feel sad about my German Shepherd, Nikki. I could never imagine I could love an animal as much as I loved her or grow attach.She was almost 14 years old, getting down in her health. She could hardly walk or get up due to her hips being so bad but she tried with everything she had left in her. When it came to her, she was first and the boss of the house and a little spoiled.

     Sometimes I believe she was almost human, she knew what I was talking about when I would tell her her food was ready. When I fried hamburgers, she got one. She loved green beans, buttered noodles. She would eat  the fries if I would only hand feed them to her and I love every minute of it too.

   She loved everybody and was loved by everybody. And the kids.......well you didn't try to spank them. She would grab your hand gently to keep you from spanking them but that's how I wanted her to be, not mean.She was such a good nature dog, such a sweet spirit about her. She never met a stranger and loved company. She would sit at the front glass door and just wait for anybody to come in.

     I worried about her like I did my kids, always checking on her. The night she died, April 3rd in the early hours, I knew something was wrong. She stayed inside due to her bad heart and that night she wanted outside. It began to rain and storm and she was terrified of storms. She had gotten out of the gate and took off. I had woken up at 3am on the 3rd to check on her. I just felt it that something was wrong. Sure enough a friend came by and told me he thought he seen her on the side of the road when someone had hit her, that upset me. She was big enough to be seen by anyone. To explain how I felt is hard. Part of my heart was ripped out. To see pictures of her was hard too.

    Will I ever get another one? Who knows. At this time I don't want anymore but time will only tell. I sure hope the is a Heaven for animals like her cause I can't wait to see her again. I know now her bad health was getting the best of her and it was only time but I didn't think she would go that way.

    As far as My Sweet Spirit, I will always miss her and think about her. For there won't be another like her.

  

Hello. how is everybody? I'm still hanging around here, just not posting as much as I should. It has been a little bit busy around here, I'm sure everybody has been busy also. Last August, Preston, my son was in a terrible car accident and was air lifted to the hospital about 65 miles away from us. He is doing remarkable well considering what he went through. I thank God for having his Hand of Protection over him. He suffered a fracture pelvic bone, 2 puncture lungs, a few broken ribs. He had very little blood on his brain. After 2 weeks, he was walking pretty good. God spared his life for a reason, for us to learn from it. Me, i learned so much, not to take your kids for granted and always pray protection over them. Anyway, I'm still here friends. haven't forgotten you, never will. Love, Deb

Well, I finally got me a job now.......finally. I worked at a Skilled Nursing Home as a housekeeper which I love. Right now I'm in intro (it's like probation) to be the Supervisor in housekeeping and laundry. Before I considered applying for the job, there were a couple of girls who just was plain mean and rude to me. Now I'm a basically nice person, real easy to get along with, love to laugh and joke around. I like just about everybody and love to give people a chance and give them the benefit of a doubt. But these girls, oh my, they wouldn't bulge. Well when I decided to apply for the position, they almost quit. So sad. Now they've changed their mind, I had a long talk with them, just to give me a chance and they would see what kind of person I really was. I was someone as a boss who gets down and scrubs floors just like them. All in all, everything is going good and I hope it continues. Communication really helps. keep me in your prayers

I was just sitting here at my computer wondering how I could change to become a better person. I feel if I was a better person, I would treat people better, I always said you treat people the way you want to be treated. Don't get me wrong, so many people do treat me real good, a lot of love, kindness, respect, etc.I just need to return it. First of all get  closer to God, he will mold me in the person he wants me to be. I examine my heart daily to make sure it's not bitter or grown cold and prayer that God will intercede with me to give me direction and guidance with my heart. So any of you that I have offended in any way, please know I'm sorry. I Love All People no matter who they are or where they come from.Life is too short and precious. Thanks 

This is a true story. A family decided to take their children to the zoo about 2 weeks ago. They were in the penquin section when the parents notice their 7 year old boy was missing. This boy has down syndrome so naturally they were worried. The zoo security was helping them search for him. The parents decided to call the police when the boy showed up out of the blue, he was crying and very upset. All the boy wanted to do was to go home, so the parents pack the family up and drove home. The boy sat in the back seat, not saying a word, but still crying. They pulled up at their house, the boy ran inside,went  upstairs to the bathroom and started running bath water. The parents really got worried, thought maybe their boy was aducted. The mom beg and plead fot the boy to unlock the door. The dad seen how upset the mom was so he finally had to kick the door in. When they enter, what they seen in the bathtub was unreal. It was a PENQUIN taking a bath.The boy had put it in his pack pack. Naturally the dad had to call the zoo manager and tell him about the penquin. The mananger thought it was plank call, he hung up on the dad twice. The third time, the dad beg him to listen what happen. Of course they had to take the penquin back.Kids give us a scared but also laughter, joy and happiness. Aren't they great!!

Well, it's just another day to me with all the trials and battles I face. I must say the battles and trials really straighten me out as far as I'm very Blessed and Thankful for what they may bring. And it's usually good at the end of it. It's like you're taking safetly from a storm and at the end of that storm you're alright. Oh I get down=hearted but God always shows me the light and sunshine through it all. He always has that door ready to be open for me. There is sometimes I open up that door instead of waiting on him and it always turns out not so good. Now if I only could wait on him. I'm facing that right now with different area's in my life and I know it's because of me growing spiritually.My Faith comes naturally and it helps so much. I'm sure ther's many people who faces the same issues I do and I just pray God will open doors up for them. this is just one of those days and I will make it, I always do for I know God is always with me guiding me and giving me direction in my life. With him , everything is possible.

About my Mother...well she is so someone very special to me. She was a Mother who loved her children very much. Now that I'm grow and have raised my children, Mom's upbringing us kids wasn't bad at all. Her upbringing taught us about God's unconditional love, respect, high morals, standards, considerate of other people's feelings.She had raised 10 children and did a remarkable job with it. Oh how I wish i could talk to her one more time. I lost my Mother July 27th and miss her so much!! But she is in a much better place. They had put her in the hospital in ICU with a ventalator. Her lungs couldn't take it anymore. She had COPD, CHF, a diabetic. She was kept on the ventalator for almost a week. They took her off on a Wednesday, July 26th. For 2 hours she was doing great. We hug, kissed her and also asked her for forgiveness for things we didn't do or should have done. She couldn't talk, but with those big blue eyes shinning, we knew all was well with her.Our prayers went constantly asking God when he was ready, to take her and not let her suffer.She started going downhill instantly and we knew he wouldn't be too much longer. We knew cause Mom told us she seen Angels all around her rooom and God was coming to get her. Mom was always scared of choking in her sleep, but you know God took her while she was sleeping peacefully. I often go back to the website where her funeral was at and I'm so amazed how beautiful she was. She was so beautiful on the inside too. I miss my Mom but I know my dedire is to see her again. Love you Mom

Let me see, what I can I say about them. All I know they are the greatest!! Friends are so hard to come by anymore but when you find one, keep them. It's so awesome that we live many miles apart and never have met but yet I feel like I've known them all of my life. God sure has put many Blessings in my life and my friends are one of them. They are a true angel and a gift to me. These friends are the ones you can really pour your heart out to and they understand and love you for who you are. To all of my friends here, THANK YOU!

Well, lets just say she's spoiled and one of a kind. She's 11 years old and so rotten. Her dad was a K-9 for the police force, so she comes from a good breed. At night we put a blanket on the love seat, that's where she sleeps. Let me just say this, if it's not up there when she's ready for bed, she looks at us, then  her bed, "Like ok I'm ready, where's the blanket? She's truly a companion for us. When she comes in, she knows she gets a snack, so she sometimes run in and out just to get a snack. I really have to make lay down then. And boy does she ever love company. She sits at our front glass door just waiting for someone. I think this dog is part human. She loves her grren beans too. She loves kids and you don't dare correct them when she's around. But I do know she would protect us in a heart beat. She has been before.
