    Robin and Karen, thank you for your replies and sharing. I was moved reading about your special "dreams" . It's such a relief being able to talk to you all about these experiences I could never tell anyone else.

    Lou, I think I've seen some of that film once, but don't really remember it that well. I watched a very touching film yesterday with Joaquin Phoenix - "The Master". I absolutely love this actor, he has a great ability with his facial expressions.

    Deb, sorry to hear you're still aching so much, as well as going through all that bureaucratical stuff.
    Hope everything gets sorted out for you soon.

    Wishing you all a peaceful day.
    Rose.

    you meant Louster:cool:

    Rose, I was nervous to share my visits from Ron early on when I joined GIC. You never know how people will take it. But most everyone was very open about it. It was during one of those visits from Ron where he told me where my lost credit card was. That felt like a miracle. I get signs and feel Ron often. It’s the best feeling. I’ve had full conversations with Ron too. I would love everyone on GIC to experience visits from their loved one. My Mom turns a light on to let me know she’s around me. My Dad adds the scent of coffee, in my car often. Like Karen mentioned I always know each are wearing. Hope you experience many more of the special dreams Rose, and everyone else too. It’s a warm fuzzy feeling. Robin

    Nice visits and signs! My mom was sitting in the car with me one day. She was just smiling. We had a conversation and during it she told me she was ok. I wish I had more visits from Gant but I will always remember that smile from the visits I have had.

    Yap, I did mean Louster. I just didn't remember correctly and didn't want to go back to look it up. Where in the heck did you come up with this nickname?

    When I was my 20s, my friends would
    add "ster" to first names, for dramatic ,
    comic effect. In some ways, that immature
    Louster still resides in my head, and keeps
    me young, Karen. Lou

    P.S, I will always love your distinct "Hum"
    and "Yap". You are unique, Karen. Lou

    So glad, cjpinester!!! ( Karenster doesn't
    quite work, but Debster, coined by
    George, does!). L

    Lou, I was just thinking that the name "Louster" has a Roman touch, like so many names of towns in Britain finish with "ster", which in Latin means 'military camp' or 'Roman fortress', like Manchester, Lancaster, Leicester and so on.
    Just a thought:).

    Love that name, Karen. Makes me feel
    like a Viking!

    You. Karen, never! You did miss one of
    my typos, which I've done before. I signed
    one of my replies, "Lo", bc my mind
    worked faster than my fingers. Louster

    Oh, I'm trying to catch up. I wasn't able to get on GIC for two days. Security or private warning, then it came back on. That's my excuse for missing Lo.

    GOOD! I was spared the embarrassment!
    I'm sure your eagle eye will be on the
    lookout for Louster's mistakes! L

    Yap, I'm back on. Look out.
    Again, California is on fire, as you may have heard. It's close to Lake Tahoe, but not in Tahoe like last year. We've had smoke again. Evacuations. But, I'm ok here.
