Yeah, I won that little guy on 2/20/09 and he is one of my most prized Windstones!!! They said he is the only evidence that Windstone ever made tigers, was found in a box of broken Windstones, glued back together and painted and ebay’d. I am so proud of him!!! If I can ever get pictures of the collection, I will certainly post him!! 😀
Thank you so much Wolfenmachine for posting a picture of the raffle prize on the thread!! Sometimes I have trouble accessing the blog and I don’t get to see the picture which is very frustrating. I hope this happens every month!!!
Well, I still haven’t heard from my swapee. The PO said it was delivered on September 1 and it is now the 8th and no response. I think I would have heard something by now. If I don’t hear by next week, I will send a PM. I hope everything is ok.
Hmmm. I tracked the package sent to my swapee and it was delivered on September 1st. There hasn’t been a response, so I hope the swapee got it. Maybe the person is out of town or something, like it was pointed out in an earlier post. Well, I’ll keeping checking!
I use the save button a lot! When I get valuable information from other forum members, ie, how to do things I don’t know how to do, answers to questions, history on Windstone items, I save it and refer back to it. Please don’t take that away! Otherwise I would have to write it all out and file it somewhere and probably lose it!!
I really like the smiles too. It seems that there is enough room for more of them! I use the PMs too. I will pay attention to this and maybe add some more later!Thank you for thinking about it, eaglefeather831! Reggae is a music style that was developed mostly in Jamaica and spread through the rest of the world primarily in the 60’s. Bob Marley is the most well-known performer and the music is particularly prominent in the South and West African countries as well as in the Caribbean Island countries. It has complicated rhythms and a predominately positive message, both of which appeal to me. There are reggae festivals in almost every country in the world now and they are very well attended. I went to one of the biggest ones in the world about 3 years ago here in northern California and it was sold out at 10,000 people. Imagine all those people swaying with the music and singing together “One heart, One love, let’s get together and we will feel alright” one of Bob Marley’s songs and two of his sons on the stage singing with the crowd. An amazing experience! The reggae colors are red, yellow, and green, popular colors of the flags in several African countries. There is an acceptance of pot as part of the culture even though it is illegal in Jamaica too, although I don’t agree with it and don’t participate in it, in fact, that’s why I always attend outdoor festivals so I can get away from it when I start getting headaches. The police don’t bother the festivals unless someone is selling, not just using. But I love the music and the energy and the colors so much, I am willing to go to the festivals anyway. Also, unlike many festivals, there are very very few fights or drunken people and I can leave my chairs and blankets on the lawn and come back several hours later and they are undisturbed. They are truly good places to be and I can ignore the pot, even when a few people offer to “share”! (Bob Marley died in 1981 at age 36 of cancer, leaving a huge legacy, his being honored by the Jamaican nation for his cultural contribution, and 12 children, 4 of whom are performers and others of them working behind the scenes involved in charities in Jamaica.) There is a reggae music channel on Comcast if you want to hear some of the reggae songs. As with any music genre, not all of the songs are the greatest, but many of them really are. Some of my favorite artists are Third World, Maxi Priest, UB40, Morgan Heritage, O’Yaba, and others.
Anyway, I just thought I would share some information I have learned about reggae and why I am an enthusiast!I used to own a Ouija board and started using it for fun with my husband. We had some very negative experiences with it, also some pleasant ones. A knowledgeble person told us later to stop using it until we learned how to use it properly, otherwise it was like throwing open your front door and announcing to the world, “just come on in, everyone” You don’t know who is around or will pick up on the invitation and you may get some pleasant ones and can also get some really unpleasant ones that are difficult to get rid of. So rather than throwing it away, I burned it so no one else could use it. I understand my protections now, but I still won’t use it. I also have a strong belief in the spiritual world and have been led in my life to some truly remarkable awesome experiences. I also know that it isn’t “seeing is believing” but one has to believe in order to see. If one is open to the experiences, they will come. If not, they will not be seen. Some people have the gift of a strong connection with the other side and can tune in to their Source and guidance more easily than others, in the same way that some people are talented artists, singers, mechanics, etc. They often use the tools of tarot, Iching, runes, and other tools that have been used for thousands of years to “tune in”. It’s just a different way of understanding the world, like understanding where intuition comes from. Personally, I think it’s fascinating and I’m truly grateful for the path that has provided these experiences for me! I’m also careful about who I talk to about these things because I respect other people’s beliefs and can accept that they are on their own path and I don’t try to persuade them differently.
What a lovely thoughtful gift, Machineguts!! I so appreciate that my love of reggae was recognized, it so often isn’t, especially by my family! Thank you so much!! I can tell how much thought and effort you put into the presents!
Because I still can’t post pictures, I will have to describe what I got. There is a bag of pasta shapes in red, green and yellow, the reggae colors. An iron-on reggae decal in the colors with “one heart, one love, one world” on it. A tiny green-brown rattan(?) purse. A necklace with green stones in it. A beautiful set of earrings made with long feathers and tiny beads. A charming card with an ant playing the conga drums with reggae colors on it and a great drawing!!! They are great!!
Thank you soooo much!!!! Margaret aka drgnlvrI’ve tried emailing you about an offer, and the link says it can’t find the server and the regular email returned the message by mail daemon saying you don’t have a yahoo account. I don’t know how else to contact you except by PM and you didn’t want that. If I’m doing something wrong, which is likely considering my vast lack of computer skills, can you tell me how I can contact you? I don’t have AIM or the other one. I don’t know what to do now. Thanks!
Does anyone have a white mouse wizard they are willing to part with? I have been looking for the longest time and haven’t been able to find one. I have the peacock and the emerald and I just need the white one to complete this part of the collection. I have some things I am willing to discuss trading for it too. Thanks!!
