Eight Gifts That Do Not Cost a Penny

1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING... But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.

2) THE GIFT OF AFFECTION... Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.

3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER... Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

4) THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE... It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.

5) THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT... A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job" or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.

6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE... There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.

8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION... The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You.

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

FORGOT WHAT :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

I must say i love you all here... No matter who you are or what you say... I know your only cyber pals but you've all helped fill a little gap in my daily life. Teddy making can turn us all into household recluses. Here we can vent all our daily frustrations openly with folk who really understand.

I might not always agree with what i read here, but it makes for interesting reading. 

THIS POST IS NOT DIRECTED AT ANYONE... IT IS MEANT ONLY TO SUPPORT, UNITE,  WE CANT HAVE GOOD TEDDY TALKERS DROPPING OFF... WITHOUT ADRESSING IT CAN WE? WE CANT BEG PEOPLE TO STAY... WE CAN ONLY HELP CREATE A BETTER PLACE FOR US ALL TO BE.

SORRY IF THIS MY POINT OF VIEW UPSETS ANYONE... BUT THIS IS JUST ME BEING ME... BIG MOUTH AN ALL

I VALUE HONESTY. OPENESS, FRIENDSHIP, KINDNESS AND HAPPY SURROUNDINGS ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE...

Being here has honestly made me feel... HAPPY, UPSET, AMUSED, ANGRY, MOVED, INSIGNIFICANT, SMALL STROKED, LONELY, COMFORTED, AFRAID, SUPPORTED DISAPPOINTED and many many more feelings...This has just been my personal reaction to what ive read or has been posted to me or others.

Just as being in any family makes you feel.    

I am sure about one thing, belonging here means i can talk, share, comfort, support, help, aid, enable and  belong to a group of people who for most would want the same experience and would give goodness willingly without any hesitation or question.

THUS IN TURN I WOULD HOPEFULLY RECEIVE BACK WHAT I GIVE TO OTHERS.

We would all like the world to be perfect... It sadly never will be... Its human nature that effects it.

To achieve success and the best we possibly can, we must join together to make this possible.

Take the VERY old saying

From little acorns mighty oaks grow

We here at Teddy Talk are all little acorns, we have all started as bear makers, and to achieve success we keep on progressing trying harder, taking failure on the head as part of the process.

Some of us plod along singulary, asking for no help, learning by mistakes ... Some ask for help...

And TeddyTalk is where you can get the very best advice... From those who have already learned by their mistakes, and will willingly share their experience with you. JUST ASK AWAY... IF WE DON'T WANT TO ANSWER... WE CAN ONLY IGNORE OR SAY NO... :crackup:

What makes us artists... OUR SURROUNDINGS.... OUR FRIENDS.... ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES US VIA OUR SENSES...

We absorb inspiration... Via inspiring things.... THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE MUST SET OUT TO COPY... But we put our own personal interpretation on the object of our inspiration, by means of making our very own objects, from our very own designs. We all have done this ... We all do this...

Teddy Talk inspires...

Teddy Talk IS A POSITIVE PLACE TO BE... friendship and mutual respect is what will make it work...

But it cant work without you...

UNITE...

There is goodness and badness everywhere... UNITE...
For Teddy Talk to work properly we must all put in the effort to make it happen...

Invisable lurkers come out... Join PROPERLY... Add details to your membership profile... TELL US WHO YOU ARE... WHERE YOUR FROM ... Build an avatar... Make the huge effort to post...

What have you got to hide?... What have you got to loose?... What positive imput have you got to offer?... You may enjoy it... You may not... You simply will never know unless you try...

[size=0]But DON'T forget Mutual respect is needed... A POSITIVE ATTITUDE RULES... We comment, encourage, Stroke, support,and enable everyone to become better and better... [/size]

We must never deliberately bad mouth, offend, hurt, be-little, stamp on, or knock the confidence of anyone who is trying only to better themselves...Choose your words VERY carefully...remember... POSITIVE...

REMEMBER THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE TO BE...  Made possible by good POSITIVE Teddy Talk members

Teddy Talk is for everyone to enjoy....

ENDING ON A MUCH NEEDED POSITIVE NOTE READ ON...[/b]

Do It Anyway

By Mother Teresa

•    People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centred - Forgive them anyway.
•    If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives - Be kind anyway.
•    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies - Succeed anyway.
•    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you - Be honest and frank anyway.
•    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight - Build anyway.
•    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous - Be happy anyway.
•    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow - Do good anyway.
•    Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough - Give the world the best you can.   
•    You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God - It was never just between you and them [/b]

At Teddy Talk you surf with the very best artists in bearmaking... However they are not to big in their boots to converse with even the newest bearmaker...

THEY ARE ONLY EVERY-DAY HUMAN BEINGS JUST LIKE YOU...
WHO HAVE WORKED HARD TO BECOME BETTER AND BETTER AT WHAT THEY DO...

Beautiful words of wisdom Judi...

SEE COPY EMAIL BELOW

Hello,

Thank you for writing to eBay. My name is P**** and I appreciate the
chance to help you with your concern about getting a credit for item
9521800674, where the final value fees were reversed on your account.

I have checked your account and find that your item had been credited
the final value fees. I understand that you have mistakenly clicked the
Reverse Final Value Fee link and have been charged the Final Value fees
again.

In an effort to better meet your needs, eBay has created an online
feature to remove Unpaid Item Reminders (UPI) and reverse Final Value
Fee (FVF) credits. If you and your buyer have agreed to complete that
transaction and you want to remove an Unpaid Item strike for a buyer,
only then you need to click this link.

Once the Final Value fees is reversed, you are not eligible for the
credit any more for this item, however, we realize that you have
mistakenly clicked on the link and hence we have already forwarded a
request to credit back the Final Value Fees for this item to the
appropriate department. You will see the credit on your eBay account,
within a few days. Please understand that this is a courtesy credit
issued to you, outside the eBay policy.

I would therefore request you to check and confirm the same from your
Account Status, by sorting your fees by 'Item number'. This would show
you the fees charged for each item.

I hope that this information is useful. If you have any further
questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

P**** R*****
