I think they take your donation and give you the rest of what you are asking for check out other wishes

yeah, that is how it works, but as of right now they still show my grant the full amount. They adjusted all the rest of them. I just want to make sure they don't give me too much, you know?

Yeah, it's happened before. My guess is that the RHF team is just going over things.

with all the Zero hour movement, I suppose one can't blame them for the scrutiny.

Thank you TeacherMom, I am sweating in 50ish weather. Close to the end, less than an hour to go.

Everyone duck and cover!

Now Peter....

I was NICE to you....lol lol lol

Boohoooo ---Peter's being mean to me Shane....lol lol lol

I just didn't want you to know about the surprise party!

Cool video, thanks "Mom" it was great.

Glad to see you up here with me Peter!!!

Where else would I be? This is where all the fun is!

Many thanks KayCee

Thank you Sweety for the vote!!!

You forgot to pat my head =;^)

I do my best, but you know, "Man's" best friend is supposed to be the one in the dog house.

I see a light around the edges of the door. Many thanks for the support.

Danke-Engel.

Muchas gracias mi amigo.

Thanks a Bunch!!!!

SAME FRIEND AS MINE I BET LOL

Thank you two guys *hugs*

You rock!!!

One can never ever have too many friends, or friends with friends. =;^)

edited for typo, fat fingers, drowsiness, take your pick.

Thank you to you and your friend!!!!

Night Thom, good luck to you my friend, I hope for both of us to gain about 50 on her.

Wilma, Sorry to hear about your wrist, hope you're feeling better soon.

Wow Wilma !!

I hate to hear that!! I hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

OH NO!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to hear that. I will pray for you to be pain free. Thanks for the support, and the song!!!! You are the best.

I play that song, and sing the Harmony along with my dad on lead. We love it.

Thanks a heap, I need all the help I can get tonight.

Thanks for the stars!!

If I could walk properly almost everything we need is easy to get to. Unfortunately my walker isn't licensed for the road. LOL

Thank you very very much. I love that song, it embodies my philosophy on happiness.

I think that without my music I would surely die. I also sing and play guitar. My daughter sings and is learning guitar under a very bad teacher (me) but we should get a Music Video of The Star Spangled Banner in two part Harmony and Guitars, on youtube before too long. Like I said, her guitar instructor (me) sux as a teacher, but I think it will be good in spite of it. She has quite a set of pipes.

I am not going to type your screen name =;^) But Thanks a bunch for the vote!!!

Thanks, =;^)

I am listening to the radio and they are playing "Hair" right now, I get all wrapped up in my music. But it is your vote of 5 that made me smile!!!!!

Thanks Lady Blue, I appreciate it.

Just a minute, where you going missy?

I'm still here, been out voting. lol

I'm sooooo hoping that you don't have to live in the doghouse! I can just here you out there now singing...

"Here that lonesome whistle blow....I'm so lonesome I could cry"....lol lol

I've been pulling for ya, my friend!!!

she won't let me have my guitar in the doghouse either. So I have to sing Acappella. So I can't guarantee to be on key. The dog isn't happy.

Looks like I'll be tying again. But all I need is a portion of the pot.

i have a feeling there might not be a pot to portion

Well I'm pretty new to this site, so I don't really know all these things. Thank you for clearing it up. Yes, I hope that I can get my car fixed, but I hope everyone else can get their wishes too. If it was a choice between that adorable little girl getting her doll, and me having to walk some more, I would pick the girl.

It wasn't the comment, it was the venue. Public comments have a place, as do private ones. And do you or do you not wish to pass the other two naughty wishes before tomorrow? That is what I meant, you are still steadily gaining on all the competition for that $500, "sights are set on" simply reflect who will be the next to be overtaken in this race to the $$. Nothing venomous about it. Like I said, you are the only one using any venom. But the deeper you dig into this the closer I get to joining you in the spitting.

Good luck, I hope you get your car fixed, I know I will get mine fixed.

Thank you for changing your comment to reflect that I am a girl, but you do kind of casually place in there that I'm somehow controlling these votes and that I'm "setting my sights" on the doll wish..

Also, I didn't know you would take offense to the comment, I was just saying that I wouldn't take revenge...

Wait just a minute Captain Winky, I did not know you were a She instead of a he, my bad, sorry. But accusing people of "getting too venomous" isn't exactly fair. The only venom I have seen is where you came in here for the sole purpose of telling people I downvoted you. The rest is just conversation. Nobody is "getting too venomous" unless you are talking about yourself. I am simply stating facts, as did Thomas, as did Zachary'sMommy. Nobody has said anything against you personally. We would have all liked to have seen the money spread out a bit instead of all going to the same pocket. So file a suit if you think we shouldn't say we are disappointed that you have dropped the spreading by 2 people already in just a few hours. But we will have no more accusations of "getting too venomous".

If I see wrong doing, I will start something, but I didn't and I don't. So other than your words, everything else is polite conversation. Join the Politeness of it if you want, but don't bring your accusations into it.

:( It is always nice when the pot can be shared with many friends in 1 week.

um.... I happen to be a woman, and I think you're getting too venomous at me because people are actually looking at my wish..

I agree, The good Captain and that $800+ already dropped you and me out of the portioning, The doll is in his/her sights now.

Edited to reflect a non-gender specific statement

Tomorrow morning is when we see the most movement, so we will see. As it stands right now, you look to be in line to get enough for a nice dinner out, but certainly not enough to fix a car. If you don't get ahead this time, then Good Luck Next week!!

Thanks for your vote!!

Thanks Wilma, I love the video, that is too coolio

Thank you for your support!!!

Getting close to the end, things are going to start getting very fun to watch after today.

The race is on!!!!!!!

depends on how long before something else breaks, or untill the next time I mouth off at her I guess!! LOL

Sorry, didn't know you would be here, or I would have restocked =;^)

Thanks Marie, if I get this money, 20 minutes after the parts arrive, that Wife of mine is going to Kiss me on the cheek before she heads off to who knows where just to drive her car again. I really have taken it apart and repaired it so many times, I could put these parts on Blindfolded.

yeah, I looked, both in the printed catalog and on line as well. I suspect that even if they had this pipe, they might be a bit more expensive.

Thanks for the tip though, much appreciated.

LOL, Toyotas are great automobiles, I sure wish the "Big Three" would follow their lead.

Thanks for checking with your "Toyota Guys" for me!!!

I wish I had a Toyota Guy, maybe we should all have one, I should make a wish!

=;^)

let me fix those dumb As out of it

There we go. The original of that lyric was typed using a special character instead of the ' key on the keyboard, so the As showed up when I pated it. But all fixed now.

It is one of my favorite songs as well.

Yes, I do.

Artist/Band: Holly Dunn
Lyrics for Song: Daddy's Hands
Lyrics for Album: Holly Dunn - Milestones: Greatest Hits


I remember Daddy's hands, folded silently in prayer.
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy's hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.
There are things that I've forgotten, that I loved about the man,
But I'll always remember the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'.
Daddy's hands, were hard as steel when I'd done wrong.
Daddy's hands, weren't always gentle
But I've come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy's hands.

I remember Daddy's hands, working 'til they bled.
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again.
And never take for granted the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'.
Daddy's hands, were hard as steel when I'd done wrong.
Daddy's hands, weren't always gentle
But I've come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'.
Daddy's hands, were hard as steel when I'd done wrong.
Daddy's hands, weren't always gentle
But I've come to understand.
There was always love .....
In Daddy's hands.

Thanks for the vote!!!

All friends are great friends!!! Right?

You art my Knightes in thou Shining Armor, M'Lady and I thank the from the bottom most portion of mine own heart. =;^)

And just so you know, I have made contact with the BSA Counsel in your area hope it works out.

Thank you, I'm gonna need it.

Looks like my friend NewAuntie and me are gonna be fighting for this 2nd place position right to the bittersweet end of this one.

It looks like you might have your wish. This week, it may end up that 3 naughty wishes get granted. :)

It is a beautiful thing, is it not. I love to see that happen, and being one of the three is all that much more enjoyable. I saw it happen twice since I have been here. Modest wishes spread the love, and everybody (well those who know me) knows I love to spread the Love around. =:^)

Many Many thanks, you are a gem.

Thank you very much Jenn, and good luck with your puppy as well

Thanks "Mom" you're the best, you got a great bunch of kiddos too

I shall cherish it, yes indeed, cherish is the word I use to describe.....

OK OK I'll stop singing.

You have been singing all day what has you in a good mood

Music, Live by it, breath it and die by it, that is my feeling. I love music, I sing when I am mad, sad, glad, or excited. Sometimes when I play my guitar and sing, it helps my back to feel better, go figure.

Thanks to one and all, every vote is highly appreciated.

Thank you WillowTree for the hand of Friendship, I accepted of course.

Well, yes, they are a bit larger, the pipe is about 3' long and the strut is about 6", however, the wrecking yard industry in my area is a very large Hay Stack so as to minimize the size of the parts in the overall metaphor. metaphorically speaking that is.

Thanks for your vote!!!

Thank you very much for your vote.

Thank you Nancy, for the vote. Much appreciated.

Thank you very much!!

Yes, this car is in so much better shape than my jeep, and it is a good solid car, the motor is tight and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. even at 160,000 miles. And the fuel millage puts my Jeep to shame. I will get the parts, one way or another. I had hoped this would do it. But if not, I will still find a way. I have no choice really, it must be fixed.

Ours is a very dark green metallic, looks black until light hits it. And the ride is much easier on my back than the Jeep too.

Thanks Dee Dee for the vote!!!

I sent you a PM

wrong place, sorry

Thanks my new Friend, and welcome to the Forest

Well, I considered about 3.5 miles, cause that is where her mom lives, but then I am sure, since her mom owns this house, I would be evicted in pretty short order. So I guess I'll keep her, for now. =;^)

But it would be nice for her to be able to get in her car and go to town so I could get some peace every now and then. LOL

Oh, and thanks for the vote

you got is Chasity, prayers and good thoughts coming at ya. Thanks for the vote.

Thanks for the singing Loreli, but are you gonna vote for my wish as well, or just entertain us? LOL, nice rendition by the way, oh and the tailpipe is the end, it connects to the air we breath. That is scary isn't it?

Thank you for your vote, very much.

Thanks my friend, greatly appreciated.

Thanks Christy, and for the friendship invite as well.

Thanks for the vote. It is very apreciated!

Thank you for your support!

Gosh, I sound like a Bartles and James Commercial. LOL

that last part was only for those old enough to remember those commercials. You youngins won't get it.

I shall do my best to remain worthy, thank you for the reprieve.

Thanks Peter, and I sure hope you get your wish too, REALLY!!!

The Joe Cell is some very interesting reading. Very interesting indeed.

Almost guarenteed to severely reduce your need for the gas (gets tricky to make and customize for your particular car- takes some time to adjust it also); but for less than $100, it's a worthwhile weekend-waster...

DISCLAIMER: no guarentee implied; attempts at this device are at your own risk (no physical risk involved in most situations; just emotional, if you mess up the process and can't get it to work ;-P )...


---Disclaimer-Junkie

Hey, I like Dodge, but I like the 68 Plymouth Roadrunner best. 440-6Pack, too bad a guy can't afford to put Gas in a beast like that anymore. Oh well, they put out too many carcinogens anyway. Maybe I can get one and equip it with an electric engine, there is plenty of room for lots of batteries in that car. I could paint a mural on the back of the Roadrunner with a Duracell sticker on his back, zipping over the energizer bunny. Leaving a trail of fire. And on the other side, a Bumper sticker that says "Look Maw, No Exhaust!!

Hee hee, sorry, it's early, I haven't had my meds yet.

Im talking about the newer dodges,,,the old ones were much better:)

Thanks, and yes, they do, after all, if we didn't need the car, we wouldn't know it was broke, eh? I hate how that works.

Thanks my friend, get that new saddle under you yet?

Should be here in the next few days!!!

That is Great!! News Ranch Hand, I hope it's a good one.

Many Thanks

thank you Barzy. Does Rad mean radiator, or is it a Rod that is bed? Radiators are easy, Rods, ewwwww. Too bad Canada is so far from Texas, I could lend a hand (with a radiator, not a rod, when it's internal engine trouble, I'm all thumbs)

lol radiator..

I don't think she would make it all the way to TEXAS, but tell you what, if i am done there and i have some issues i will come by!

I'll have my toolbox ready. I put a new radiator in my Jeep a few years ago, and have done many radiator jobs in my life.

Thanks a bunch.

Thank you, very much appreciated.

And you got a 1 from me because you asked for $500 for a 1 yr old's birthday. Get real sister, lower your price and I will raise the stars.

Oh how precious.

Let me explain something so you can understand it. I am on several different medications for pain as well as Blood Pressure and Depression. All of them react very badly to ANY alcohol. So No, I don't want a stiff drink, or a limp one either.

I need to fix my wifes car so we can park my jeep before the oil pours out the exhaust pipe unhindered by the very bad rings.

Edited for a knee "Jerk" response.

Thanks Dorno, you aren't the guy I thought you were. You have my apology.

My this one's full of piss and vinegar eh?

Hate is such a strong word, but so appropriate for Car Problems. It wouldn't be so bad except I have "Fixed" this thing three times, and it kept breaking again, because of that little part on the right of the picture, and at this point the part on the left is no longer fixable.

Thanks everyone for the votes!!!! This place rocks!!! You guys Rock!!!!
