James, this was so wonderful… I do not belong to any organized religion but this was so beautiful. THEN to end with Nick Drake…. I am very moved. Kim

That is so true isn’t it Dona… when my daughter was born I said to a friend “now I know how much my mother loves me”. Whoopi’s Mom must be so so proud. Ya Whoopi Thanks for being you.

Whoopie for Whoopi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’ve got it all, beauty, brains, health and a great family…….. many many many happy returns.

Well done, your efforts made a difference!!!!!

So now it is said and done and the future of your puppies stand a much greater chance of survival. Congratulations to the United States of America for electing Obama…

Congrats DeBurca, I’m so happy for you and the many many other wOwers I so admire!

Truly, the amount of respect for the US has just skyrocketed because of this. An historic day for everyone.

Oh Kryssi I am thrilled beyond words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Canada and I think many of us on this site were hopeful for Obama. I haven’t “commented” of late on wOw but have logged in every day to watch what you all are saying/thinking. I am so happy for you. I am so happy for the United States of America

Thanks Josie that was amazing! Thanks Jane once again for your finger on our pulse.

Welcome to the site lefty (may I call you lefty?)… it’s, as you can see, never dull. Most of the people here are wonderful “orators” and the Trolls are few and far between. I’ve learned a great deal on this site and really miss it when I’m “away”. ENJOY!

And that’s the truthphfft!!! Amen

Edith Ann, even though you may not feel like a princess for the moment you still are. If ever you feel the need you can climb up on your mighty steed (named Jane) and come over to my house; I like to lay on my back (does Hug like to lay on his back? My boxer Nelly loves to and is good company) on the hill behind my house and watch the clouds take shape… I do this quite a bit and the sky has never fallen here. Sometimes it’s so cloudy I can’t see the sky but I know it’s still there ‘cause the next day there it is! squishies

My best friend Sherry whom I’ve known since grade one. We recently did a road trip and referenced Thelma & Louis… She’s the Thelma! And yes we decided we’d forgo the cliff, as we get older there are enough near misses with life!!

Liz, like you I don’t carry a purse. It all goes in pockets. When my daughter is looking at bags and wants one that costs more than $50 I’m “HOW MUCH!?!??” Now if I had a wOw bag I might reconsider the no purse thing ;-)

Thanks for the pictures Lily… so nice that you could tag along with Ernestine to take the photos!!
