Ok since nobodies home I am goin to tell you a sad story
One of Jeans sisters grand kids has autism real bad. The poor kid first shown signs of it a few days after havin a seizure he had after gettin one of his ( now vast many, i think 74 :mad: ) vaccines. he's has had a tough life the mother divorced and basically worthless. Ok he sent Jean a letter wanting her to send in some box tops to get a prize but he didn't give her (Jean) any address info, I am sure his mom didn't help him either. So Jean went down to the store and got the three cereal companies addresses. While gettin the addresses she checked for the prize being offered and found no info. So sent all three a letter telling them the story and how she even questioned the kid about the prize offer and told them it would mean the world to this young boy to actually get a prize. I can remember when there was a prize of some kind in every box:(
Well that was about 5 weeks ago and so far nothing.
Ok here I go with my soapbox again. As much money as these big cereal companies make selling kid sugar coated GMOs, and they do make a fortune and they can't send a poor autistic kid a cheap toy, just out of their heart. Ok climbin down now if I can get my body to work:mad:
Bless Jean for getting involved and trying. I am sure these companies get thousands of these types of letters a week and hopefully Jean hears back from them, may take a while though.

This is pretty cool!
I didn't know about this until a few days ago, that it goes along with my name. Had no idea when I made up my name on here.

The 12 Native American Zodiac Signs

3. Wolf
(February 19 – March 20)
Season: Month of Rebirth

The wolf is the third of the Native American zodiac signs and it symbolizes speed, power, and endurance. Natives tend to silence their deepest emotions. They are artists with a mysterious and restless side, which makes them appear undecided. It’s easy to hurt them because they are very sensitive. Like the wolf, they need their own personal space, a place to retreat.
Strengths: Your advice is fair and beneficial to those around you. You are warm, sensitive, and creative.

There's a book you might enjoy, Animal Speak by Ted Andrews. It's one I'll never let go of, and over the years I've often referred back to it for symbolism, dream interpretation and other things.
