Thanks again for the support, everyone! I love you!


amw, congrats!! Way to go!!

glamnana, thanks for the advise, I am going to see if I can talk to the school counselor about letting him see it.

seoulmate, thanks again for sharing your story, it's hard loosing a family member, wishing you mom RIP.

I've been meaning to come over here, but have been so busy with work, etc., that I haven't gotten here until tonight...umm, this morning.

I'm so overwhelmed right now! Sugaree...that song...omg! But, I knew all the words...uh huh. You are one darling lady. TY so much for what you have given me. Know that I will alway hold you close to my heart. You are beautiful!!

My life has been so busy lately, that I really don't remember if I have given condolences to any who have had family problems or losses. Please forgive me.

Seoulmate: (((Hugs))) to you. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your dear Mom is flying free now, an Angel watching over you. She is truly at peace now. I know you know that. So sorry for all the stress with your brothers, but I know that only too well. I have 2 older brothers who were not with me when my sweet Mom passed over. When they came home, they meant to help. I know they did, but they just started tossing things when I wasn't there. As the youngest, they might have thought I wouldn't do anything about it, but I stopped it. I took control and did not let any more of that happen and they got a good tongue lashing, also...lol!

Even if they are men, they are still boys...to me. I think I kind of shocked my brothers, but I didn't really care. My sons definately stood back and let me lead the way.

Hopefully, you and your brothers worked it all out in the end. I am so happy for your Mom that they were all there with you.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, my friend. Losing your Mom is so hard. I'm here if you ever need to talk.

(((Hugs))) to you, and know that I care. Later, I will give you new insight about LTC. It too, does get better. My work is living proof. Just wanted you to know that, as I saw what you posted and my place of work is doing things to change about everything you posted about. Hopefully, every place will eventually changes for the better.

Just found this thread.

Late, but glad things turned out okay, Wal.

Seoul! Do good to see you!

Amw: Isn't it great to be able to do work that you love? I feel really lucky that way.

On Monday (the 30th) I'm going to a birthday party for an amazing person that I've known since birth! but He has ALS - he is the same age as my youngest brother and has 4 children of his own!) He now cannot breathe nor eat on his own! Here is a link to a Stanford Medical Trial that his Mom got him into stanmed.stanford.edu/2008summer/breath_of_hope.html (She's a retired UCSF - Neo-Natal Nurse - High Risk Birth Center!) He was also going to be a stem-cell research subject - but wasn't well enough for that to be! Please check out my Dad's Smugmug site to see about Darren Dent - jvp.smugmug.com/Darren-Dent !

Just want to share my crazy story from lastnight.

hrmp! just as i get back int he swing of things, another thing getting in my way.

Just got a new stove, after a gas leak, had to pay extra money to replace our gas valve, but this is way more annoying. loosing over 600 dollars worth of things, and ended our night early, but im staying positive.

Husby and I got our car broken in to in Wicker Park, in Chicago, IL. Our car was parked on a busy street with a lot of people around 0.o. i guess people will still be cracked out jerks, and break windows, to steal things, no matter where you park. This isnt even the first time this has happend to us either. We got the same car broken in to in Detroit in a parking deck. which was not watched over a few years ago. *sigh*

my husby and I and a group of friends were about to go to another bar in chicago. my friend and i were walking ahead of everyone, and i was joking with her, "i hope we didnt get a ticket", cuz there were cops near by, and as we got closer i noticed the window didnt look right, and as soon as we go to our car. i saw our glove department, and center console open, and our 160g ipod, GPS, and cables for those, and my Husby's work out headphones gone. The way i look at all of this, even tho it is a hassle is, Husby is ok, Im ok, even tho i have a very tiny cut on my hand from the glass (very little, im ok), and our friends are ok. We also see this as a blessing in disguise because, my husby ipod was old, and having issues, and thankgod they still sell 160g ipod classics (the funny thing about the dumb ass stealing it is it has my husby name and email on the back of it lol.), and our GPS was an older version. Since my family has a cottage in Canada, our old GPS didnt have Canada maps, sooooooo now ill be able to have that :D sooo excited. . We have to wait till monday to take care of our insurance claim, so hopefully we will get money back for the things we lost. our deductible is high, so there goes that money, on top of us spending extra on a nicer stove, and having to pay to have some guy to install the gas valve. but n e ways, it's always good to stay calm when things like this happen, and to take a negative situation and turn it in to a positive one.

oh, and I hope they catch the person.

I hope everyone has a good Sunday

Thanks! I always try to find the positivity in everything. I just makes life so much better.

kapsiz - A young man I worked with developed ALS when he was in his 30's! It took forever for him to get a diagnosis, perhaps because Dr's thought someone his age wouldn't develop ALS. So so sad. I wish the best for you friend.

Littledarkangel - Really back luck with the car breakin. I've never had that happen. No one wants to steal my car. #grateful
