Bossy and Stinky look adorable! <BR/><BR/>And I totally agree with you about sharing RAK in your blog, or gifts. I've only been in knitting blogland for a few months, but I've seen so much all around wonderful kindness and generosity that it has encouraged me to reach out and keep meeting people.Sayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01786568555425380404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140377633110388782006-02-19T09:33:00.000-10:002006-02-19T09:33:00.000-10:00Happy belated birthday to Stinky and Happy Valentine's Day (late) to you and your family. What cute and sweet pics of Bossy and Stinky too. I love them. <BR/>I have no issue with one's showing of gifts received on the blog. I think a public acknowledgment is nice. Of course, an email acknowledgement is the first thing and a blog one is fine. It shouldn't matter either way, unless the person who sent it asked you not too. If other people have a problem with it, screw them. Some people will always complain about something and will never be satisfied anyway.Wandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08162744520483511408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140284606209126142006-02-18T07:43:00.000-10:002006-02-18T07:43:00.000-10:00Happy (late) birthday to Stinky!

I'm always late! I hope you all enjoyed Valentines Day!<BR/><BR/>Baked cookies and a smooch from Stinky! The kiddies look so cute! Those cookies look good BTW ... you know ... I'm the only person I know that can burn cake ... don't ask ...<BR/><BR/>Are there panties getting tied up in knots just because people blog their schtuff? Don't they have knitting to do? Pulleeaze. Jessalu's right on target ... they have "issues" (and I know about folks who have "issues")! I love to see all that yummy schtuff people get ... especially yummy yarn that I get to add to my constantly growing wish list forever tacked in DHs wallet.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your weekend knitting! I can't wait to see your next post!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>DinaDinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927172394892501534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140132539138051852006-02-16T13:28:00.000-10:002006-02-16T13:28:00.000-10:00Happy B-day, little Stinkster! She is such a cutie. Sydney was almost born on V-day. She was breech and I had a c-section scheduled on the 14th. We went to the hospital, I got all hooked up to the iv and was ready to get wheeled down to surgery when my ob decided to do an ultrasound to make sure she was still breech. Well, it turns out she'd turned, the little bugger! So we had to go home. Turns out she was a c-sec baby anyway, but not 'till the 20th.<BR/><BR/>And no horse head! You are too funny. I'm trying to remember that line about the family, but I can't bring it up right now. I'm no Marlon Brando, that's for sure!knittinmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03083582930684730242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140100470326886032006-02-16T04:34:00.000-10:002006-02-16T04:34:00.000-10:00To heck with those people who have 'issues' about posting gifts on your blog. Last I checked this was your space and you could post whatever the heck you wanted on it - they're just jealous anyway 'cuz they're crabby so they don't get presents ;o)<BR/><BR/>And, happy birthday (a day late) to stinky! (I'm always a day late with these things, you'll notice that about me) ;o)JessaLuhttp://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140091518341870842006-02-16T02:05:00.000-10:002006-02-16T02:05:00.000-10:00Happy Belated Birthday Stinky!!<BR/>Hope your day was extra special!<BR/><BR/>If people are kind enough to send you gifts, it's because you've touched their lives in some positive way so why shouldn't you share that? In Knitbloglandia you get to know your fellow citizens and make "friends" by visiting and exchanging thoughts via the comments you leave. Friendships form, connections strengthen and like any friend in "real life" virtual friends enjoy giving and sharing...If you're a "visitor" who never contributes, never says hey thanks for the visit! by commenting and interacting then friendships and connections are stunted...I think it's these people who don't give of themselves yet feel slighted that they never get gifts or RAKs and would rather grouse and point fingers than self examine!<BR/><BR/>You show whatever you choose Chris, cause you give so much to Knitbloglandia!Debihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02418096505673650250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140084899988341452006-02-16T00:14:00.000-10:002006-02-16T00:14:00.000-10:00Happy Birthday, stinky!!!!<BR/>Is there controversy about posting gifts? hmm I must be on another planet. Oh well, I think it's nice to thank someone personally and on your blog. Great loot you've got there! :))kimberlyhttp://www.thegivingflower.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140064730795535202006-02-15T18:38:00.000-10:002006-02-15T18:38:00.000-10:00Happy Belated Birthday, Stinky! <BR/><BR/>You apparently are much more restrained than I am, taking a picture of the ya.n dying kit?

That first picture of the kids brought a tear to my eye-so sweet! I always enjoy when pictures are posted of gifts people receive. I never feel like the poster is bragging or rubbing it in. Just the opposite actually. The RAKs are done out of generosity and without anything expected in return, and that is the way I feel when someone post about them-just passing on the good will. And I always go and check out the giver's blog, so I can 'meet' them as it were. So keep on posting those gifts-and speaking of which, you got some great goodies. Question is, are you (crazy?) brave enough to let the kids help out with the Kool-Aid dye baths? Hmmmmm?!?<BR/><BR/>Take care!<BR/>xoxoxox<BR/>-TTeresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08490320908776512626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13908521.post-1140026637873193572006-02-15T08:03:00.000-10:002006-02-15T08:03:00.000-10:00Happy birthday Stinky!! <BR/><BR/>I big congrats on doing Chrissy's test knitting.
