Hi, there! I meant to say hi earlier but things came up (and the site went down).

My 11-year old hasn't shown any interest yet, but my 14-year-old daughter joined the site about two weeks ago, too; and my foster-daughter joined it on the weekend. They keep to the teen forums at the moment now, and I keep out (except for lurking, of course) so we have separate stamping grounds.

Have fun on the boards (but don't neglect your chores to read posts! ;) -- and that goes for us moms, too!)

[Inside Edge]

:mad: I resemble that remark! :sorry:
(great to see you, Inside Edge!)

Oh, don't mind me :) I'll be there too, eventually. Way, way eventually.

Sorry, I just can't help it!

[karen freeinchristman]

[Colabomb]

So, has yer mom picked up the local accent or is she still a mary kan?


:P

[smile2day2]

she still has her californian accent ya!!! All my friends think she is totally cool!!!

[Colabomb]

she still has her californian accent ya!!! All my friends think she is totally cool!!!

I figured lol. They say your accent is fixed around age 20.

Hehe, yer friends are right :P

Have you ever been over here? On vacation or to visit relatives?

I havn't been to the UK, although its a life long goal of mine. I want to see the churches!

And touch my roots, i have a hodgepodge of ancestry from the British Isles.

And a lot of German..... but i've never been as facinated with the germans... i don't know why :P

[alexier]

HI there - its great to see other family members on board!!!
XXx

[Colabomb]

How are you related?

[SirTimothy]

I figured lol. They say your accent is fixed around age 20.

Heaven help me if that's true--my accent is a right mess of english/american/canadian/northern irish mix with some Cypriot thrown in.

[Colabomb]

Really, cause the few times i've heard your voice it sounded STEREOTYPICALLY brittish lol. Very High British :P

But it could just be my perspective.

[smile2day2]

lol! Ya, of course I have been to the USA b4 Colabomb! we are going this summer AGAIN, for 4 weeks!

[karen freeinchristman]

How are you related?
I think Lexie means it's good to see other people's family members on board. We're not related to Lexie (except through Christ! :clap: )

[Colabomb]

Well so far its me and dad and occasionally Chris, and you and Smile :)

Any other family groups im unaware of?

[norbie]

^_^ Time begins to speed up once you've hit 35, so beware!!!
Watch it, my Dear Lady, I am 65 and life haven't started jet!:D

[norbie]

Hey! why is everybody talking about me and my mom?????;)
Hi, to our young Lady. Fully agree with you and the above quote.
So let's talk "business" if you like. I would be very interested to know if you are in a youth fellowship. See, I am helping with the games and we could share some fun games like putting a Milky Bar in a stack of stroh to find it, or have some lovely 'wallhangings' with the "victim" standing on a chair, get's taped to the wall and the chair pulled away, good fun.
So if you have something nice to share which I could use for my youth fellowship, please talk to us.
BTW, I also started like you when I was 8 years of age as Akolite, then server, senior server and chalic assistant, so you got a long way to go - but it's a great privilege and honor to serve in the glory of God.
Cheers!:wave:

[karen freeinchristman]

Pamela's daughter posts here occasionally.

[karen freeinchristman]

Is your Summer Trip to see Grandma this year?

[karen freeinchristman]

Watch it, my Dear Lady, I am 65 and life haven't started jet!:D
Don't hold back, Norbie! :ebil:

[junegillam]

yes, Norbie--65 is just the right age to choose to START IN instead of retiring, meiner meinung nach--for the german parts to figure out, smile.

[norbie]

yes, Norbie--65 is just the right age to choose to START IN instead of retiring, meiner meinung nach--for the german parts to figure out, smile.
"meiner meinung nach" = what I think about it!
Oh yes, I fully agree with you my Dear Lady: there is nothing written in the Bible about retiring.:)

[smile2day2]

oh, and Junegillam is my grandma in the USA!!!! lol

[norbie]

oh, and Junegillam is my grandma in the USA!!!! lol
And I think you got a great grandma, fully agree with her: we start life now, and I bet she has a great life experiance, too. So listen to her stories.
Now, can I ask you a question? How did you get "smile2day2"? Are you trying to tell us, 'smile to day,too?' But we are always smiling because Jesus takes good care about us.:wave:

[junegillam]

norbie, great question for smile2day2!!!!!

listening....

granny junebug...

mimi

[smile2day2]

uhhh! well... I trin' to tell everyone on CF to smile today too! -so yes!! By the way... do you like my monkey avatar??!!

[Colabomb]

i lorve teh monkey :P

Animal fan?

[smile2day2]

uhhhhhhhhhh????!!! kinda! How bout u?

[Colabomb]

A little, i like my pets :)

[norbie]

WeAreALLAngelsOfGod!
mmmh, not so sure about this, in my case, God have to be very, very tolerant. But I am sure YOU are a little Angel.
So are you still serving as an alcolite? It will be great if after June you walk in with mum as deacon and you follow her with the candle. It's wonderful to serve God.
Have a good day!:D

[smile2day2]

oh yes!!! I sure am still a server! so is my little brother! We are both angels! - lol

[karen freeinchristman]

LOL! :angel:

[norbie]

Must be a very blessed man to have soooo many angels around him. :bow:

[smile2day2]

LOL

[norbie]

Now something else I like to ask you? Let us compare our Sunday Service. When do you present the Lavabo to your clergy, I do it when he/she starts the Lords Prayer, plenty time then to clean fingertips.
An other thing is, some clergy do ask for a second drop of wine and water after the Holy Communion?? What are you doing?
And who is doing the clean-up in your church after the Holy Communion?
I was just wondering if our CofE and Anglican Australia are same??
Have a lovely spring day and study haaaard!:wave:

[junegillam]

I meant to mention earlier that i really like your monkey avatar--where did you get it? so cute! it's a baby, yes? with nail polish too? or those are just the way its nails are?

love you!
meemster

[karen freeinchristman]

[smile2day2]

[norbie]

Hi, to our STR angel, long time no hear from you. Now it won't be long and the bishop will come and your dear mum will be a deacon. Will you be there and serve with all the clergy around? It would be lovely, wouldn't it be? And will grandma fly over from america for our new deacon? And after in the school holidays you go to america.
We are freezing here in australia now while you got a wonderful summer, I hope.
By, and be good. Oh I know you are always good, you are an :angel:

[smile2day2]

yep! I guess that would be pretty cool. ;) It's gonna be great, seein all of my family again!!! LOL
