PhancyPages© Communiquè has been publishing an email newsletter weekly for over eight years now. Because of great problems with aol saying subscribers reported us as spammers, we can no longer send out the letter announcing the new edition of the newsletter. Our service is the taylortel you see in our email address. They bought the story that we were spammers. It was several days later that we started getting messages letting us know that they would send out all of our subscriber list plus some if we wanted. Offshore and foreign but proud of it. It was all a scam to control what we are able to do with the newsletter. Save our link(s) on your computer; in favorites, your Drafts, or as an icon on your opening screen. We will have instructions if you need such. We no longer have a mailing list and no longer count subscribers. You are still our valued audience and our writers are also our readers. Thank you. (Okay, I do send out a few notices every week but not to aol or yahoo. There is no sign up device to be abused.) Nita ALWAYS THE SAME: No ad banners ever flash or animate, no loud music to make you jump, no credit card offers, no MLM offers, no long distance phone service AND no pop-ups will EVER attach themselves to your task bar and haunt your computer. If you ever encounter such, report all to me by email. All contributors listed here on this page are writing for this newsletter, PhancyPages© Communiquè. Pam Murphy has her own website, Real Country Life, and she writes of many things. Everyone writes for the joy of sharing their experiences to make the venture easier for others. We seek to learn by the knowing and teaching. Becky Whitford has her own message board, Simply Self Sufficiency, as well. She writes of many interesting topics. Visit, sign up and enjoy the many topics you will find. Angela Billings has her own newsletter, the Home and Family Ezine, that is always full of helpful ideas and hints. DID YOU KNOW:

Click Here: Narita Siegel Home of Beautiful Australian Shepherds in SE AZ My husband Hank and I first owned an Australian Shepherd named Lady on our hobby farm in Los Osos, California, in 1977. Although we never bred our dog, we loved to watch her work our stock on her own with no formal training from us. We moved on in our lives to the city and sold our farm. Now some 30 years later, we are back on our 78 acre farm in Southeast Arizona outside the City of Willcox. We have sheep, milk goats, and chickens plus our favorite breed of dog, the Aussie.
With
the help of good friends, we are starting our adventure of breeding
Australian Shepherds for farm work and whatever comes our way. We
are starting with good bloodlines to improve the breed. We do
OFA, CERF and Brucellosis testing on all our dogs. Our dogs are
ASCA and AKC registered.
From time to time we also sell lambs. Feel free to call or email us about available puppies or future breeding.

CLICK HERE: Patti Love in Neola, Iowa I have lived on the Western most edge of Iowa my entire life. It's a beautiful part of the state and also the forgotten part. We live near the Iowa/Nebraska border. For some inane reason, folks think of us as Nebraska. I suppose that's in part because we are just a stones throw away from Omaha, NE which is known for their college football champs "the Huskers". I have lots of interests; a little sewing; nothing major, cooking, crafting, cross stitch, flower arranging. I have helped my husband with remodeling our house and building our shop and my potting shed. I also have discovered a passion for planting "antique seeds". I have found that they grow nicely between our fence and the alley. Living in town, I don't have a lot of space to plant things. But I try to make do with what I have and change my plants ever so often.

Click Here: Print your own Seed Packets Something special for when you have seeds to give away to your family and friends are these unique print from your own printer templates for Seed Packets. I have tried to adjust the sizes from the originals I had found but if there is something you'd like to have for a special project, just let me know. I have been hearing how there are so few bluebonnets around Texas since our Lady Bird Johnson is gone. She supported and encouraged the saving and sharing of all our wonderful wildflowers; she was the force that kept our road crews from cutting roadside grass too soon for the seeds to be mature. I hope to buy enough seeds to get my own crop going to provide all I could want for planting and giving away. Mrs. Ruth Addington of Abilene, Texas was a member of a group who would get out on the road ways and do some collecting and sharing. Like Lady Bird, she will always be fondly remembered by those who knew her especially when they save and share seeds.

Click Here: We Quit Smoking & You Can, too ! The Great American Smokeout for 2009 is November 19th but I wouldn't have know were it not for Craig Ferguson talking about it on the late night show. He talked at length about how it was for him to quit, how difficult and how glad he was that he had done it. Congratulations to all who have tried and succeeded. For those who have not quit yet, keep trying and you will get there. The Great American Smokeout has happened for 2008 and I never heard a word in the media about when it would occur. It some time in November. I went to the main website but there was no date set for 2007. Congratulations if you have been able to quit, for the day or forever. Remember to never quit trying to give them up. So what if you don't succeed one time, make a new date and try again. Get some extra ammunition and be more prepared, be better equipped until you are able to quit. Please, do it for yourself. Erica Mitchell tells of how she quit and will never start again.
