That is a beautiful story. I worked with many Doctors from India so am very knowledgeable about their culture. I became good friends with one doctor and learned a lot about their religion and beliefs. His father made him promise that when he finished medical school that he would go out in the world and help heal as this was God's gift to him. He said if you ever start doing it for the money you will shame our family and you will need to quit. What a wise man to say that and he still works on that principal, when I use to do discharge planning at the hospital and I had a patient with no insurance that was going to a nursing facility you had to have a doctor to write the orders and visit them and direct their care - I could always call him and he always said yes unlike many doctors he never asked "what kind of insurance do they have". I have much respect for him. He also helped me when I did not have medical insurance. Yes there is no better feeling than to help someone who is having a hard time. Blessings to you and thank you for sharing that with me. Nancy

Heres a kinda short story. some years ago, met a friend online in India. He was an only child. In India education comes first and the guys usually do not marry until they are about 28-30 and have a good job and take care of the parents. anyway, this guy was about 23 at the time. met him and he was depressed as his dad was dying of Cancer. they had no insurance and no money for food etc. He blamed himself for his fathers condition because he had not finished school yet to help pay for his dads treatments and or meds. There was nothing he could do. His mom had one dress to wear daily, and they ate maybe 1-2 times a week. I could not stand the thought of them not eating. So I started sending him money thru western union so he and his parents could have food. There main diet is rice. I also sent extra money for my friend to be able to have transportation for far away places he might need to go. I also sent money to buy his mom a new dress or 2. He was so thankful.... and it made me feel good. He always told me when he got a job, he will send all the money back to me that I have given. I told him NO... I do not want it back...but I want you to "Pay It Forward" when you are able to, I want you to help another family in need of food. That would be my repayment Soon after that his dad passed away, then he finished school, got a job and was making some money for him and his mom. I reminded him to "Pay Forward"... and he did. Today I am still in touch with him and his family. He is married, has a baby son, and his mom is still with them. They are all doing good!. I will never forget this time in my life I helped someone that I did not know at the time. I did go to India in 2000 and did met him and his mom. we are still email friends today. shanna Kavi's Christening N Communion Store Children's Christening, Communion, Formal Wear + More http://stores.ebay.com/Kavis-Christening-n-Communion-Store --- On Mon, 11/22/10, Nancy Lucky <[email protected]> wrote: From: Nancy Lucky <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Target - great news To: [email protected] Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 12:23 AM Great Shanna, if we can all do something extra for someone we could all make a difference.

I got all sizes and styles, coats, hoodies, sweaters - santa outfit and reindeer outfit. I am so excited. I did not get my girls anything as they are so blessed and if we can help one baby find a forever home then it will make my heart melt.

Where do we search for backgrounds? Gloria In a message dated 11/21/2010 5:02:56 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hi Everyone! I have copied a lot of your pups pictures to my files so I can crop them and make a picture. Their are so many pups to do! But I do enjoy doing them. So I think this is the best way for me to do it without forgetting any one, and it will be faster and easier for me. If you want a picture: Start your own thread title it, 'My Pics- your name and the name (s) of your pups' Include the photos that you want me to use and a background picture that you want their picture applied to. You can use ANY background that you find, even animated ones, which I can also make unanimated if I have to. I can apply just the face or even the pups whole body to a different background. It doesn't have to be a Thanksgiving background, I will try to do whatever you want. Have fun searching for your backgrounds! I don't have that many for thanksgiving so you would be helping me too. ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥
