Does anyone have Chris Tomlin's "Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone"? I lost it in the second hd crash and the one I just had a few days ago, didn't help.

I need it for the funeral. I need it by Monday.

Thanks.

The worst thing about my HD loss is the loss of all my V/O and J/W (Potc) from the past year.

Can anyone zip their saved fics and send to me? I'd really appreciate it so very much. It's what's keeping me sane while sitting in the hospital w/dad.

Please?

And if anyone can--textures too?

I really love you guys. *group hugs flist*

This was sent to me by a friend who lost his mother to breast cancer. Not only did it change and ultimately claim her life, it also tore his life and that of his little sisters to bits and left his roommates in a bind when he had to move out and go back home to provide sibling care.

Breast Cancer not only affects one woman, but all of those around her and those who care about her. Yes, we've made advances, but there's still so much left to do.

So what better to get the word out than here on LJ? It'll just take a few moments and millions may benefit from your time.

I was wondering if anyone out there is into Webkinz? Or have any codes they're not using? I'm completely addicted to them and would love to add more.

In case anyone wonders what I'm talking about:


Webkinz pets are lovable plush pets that each come with a unique Secret Code that lets you enter Webkinz World and play with a virtual version of your pet. From room decorating to exercising and caring for a pet, they're great fun. Many games are available for playing too, and some are even challenging for adults.

http://www.webkinz.com

Roommie got me this little guy and I named him "Bamboo", or "Boo" for short. She has one named "Zen" and her mom even wanted one and named it "Oreo". ;) They really have the sweetest faces! The eyes can make you melt!

All these little guys come with tags with secret codes, and some pets come with two! So if anyone has any of these stuffed guys and codes they're not using, I'd love to have them. I'm thoroughly and completely addicted. LOL

Also, keep these in mind for any little ones for birthdays or holidays. It's a "safe" site and all conversations have pre-defined parameters, so no child-predators! And they're pretty reasonable on the stuffed toy price.

Stuffed pets and unused codes would be greatly appreciated! And if anyone else thinks the idea of these guys is fun, some of the Lil' Kinz are even available at Walgreens for anywhere from $2.99 to $6.99. They're great gift ideas and are really cute.

So.... got any codes? Never hurts to ask... *hugs*

Thanks to nikitas_lair I now have a Dreamwidth account and of course, I'm still Araestel. :)

Stop by and add me or let me know your user name there and I'll add you. I;m not planning to go anywhere, but since my other two journal backups seem to have gone by the wayside, this one sounded great.

Thanks for the invite! Hope to see you all there.

...I need some SPN assistance. Even though I've watched the show from day one and love it, have seasons 1, 2, & 3 on dvd, I've never gotten into the "fandom". *sigh* And now I have a burning desire to see this current season again. Now. So are there any communities out there where I could download the eps? Bitorrent will take forever and I'm not known for my patience. LOL

And part II of this request is I'd like some fic recs. Gen and Slash both.

I'm not sure I can get into Wincest, but I'm willing to give it a try. I just want good stories, h/c is my favorite and NO ficlets or drabbles, I want BIG stories. Something I can sink my teeth into. I want some serious k's in the size. I just can't find anything good about those tiny little things that do nothing but annoy me. Oh--and I prefer finished stores, not WIP's.

Can anyone help?

BTW, I've seen some pics of Jared where it looks like he has eye makeup on. Can any one point me to those?

VERY IMPORTANT!! ALERT!!

Even if you don't have a pet, please pass this to those who do. (copied from a friend)

Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog Calypso decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.

Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats. Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that 'It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it.' The Snopes site gives the following information: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp Cocoa Mulch , which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores , contains a lethal ingredient called ' Theobromine'. It is lethal to dogs and cats.

It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of the eobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.

I just saw this product being used n HGTV or DIY just this past weekend! The host commented on how good it smelled and even tried munching it. I was concerned then, but even more so now.

Just thought you guys might like to know.

So Brady took a turn for the worst and we had to put him down tonight.

I'd like to think he's with his favorite chew toy, Barnabas, my cat.
