"Every new day is a GIFT...That's why we call it "the present"... I bought a note pad with this on it..got me thinking every day truly is a gift even the bad ones p.s. Jeff don't know about egg or the chick but I do know they smell...:( ..(husband got 11 chicks...so I guess here the chick comes first then "hopefully" some eggs later

Has anyone figured out this oldie yet?

What came first the chicken or the egg ? I still want to know! Pay attention to the little things in life today, as it will change the way you see tomorrow.

"How has it happened? Have I become so thick-skinned that it fails to register with me that every day I live, I have miraculously escaped the opposite?"

Excellent suggestion Jeff. It has literally been the least used section of the discussion boards. We'll make that change.

Hi Lainey.. What you suggest exsist already. All you have to do is click on your name after signing in and then click on personal then in Location type your country , State , home town and when you save and submit it'll show up under your name when you make a post. It say From: and whatever you put in.
Bless Ya ,

Jeff, another good idea from you. I think that not everyone finds humor in our situations.
I also gave an idea that we put our home towns in our profiles so that those who would like a closer buddy type system could form one or just call someone close to home. Tomorrow is Teddy's scan and I think set up then we will get the dates for the radiation. How life changes. We are more excited about the radiation set up than a night on the town!!!! Mmmmm now that I think about it. What is a night on the town? :)

Just Wondering, and no I wasn't even in the thinking room. What if we took the section titled Humorous and changed it too "Thought For The Day" I think it would be neat to check the site and and read a supportive thought to get the day rolling or a thought to go to sleep thinking of. Everyone take a turn and if no one posts a thought, then go for it. They can be originals or give credit to your favorite. Positive,Clean, Supportive, Inspirational, consoling, Funny, etc. No long poem or book, just a simple thought for the day. I bet we all have plenty to share. Chime in everyone and give your opinion. I personally think the section Humorous is flat/not fizzy.
