Christmas Countdown - 2012

[jennifer91]

Oh! I wanted to mention something days ago. If anyone ever has computer problems, feel free to let me know. I don't mean just with the forum, but with anything in general. My brother is a computer expert and I could always ask him anything. He has saved more than a few computers of ours and family members/friends.

Thank you for the prayers for my doctor appointment. I was only in there for about twenty minutes total, including the wait. He said that everything looked so good that I didn't even need an x-ray this time around!

Made, I really hope that your niece is well and that you and your family members get the answers that you are looking for. I know what you all have to be going through because we experienced something similar with my brother. That being said, I have been saying prayers for quite some time now and I will continue to do so!

Sugar, pick me up a plate from Applebee's! That sounds delicious! I hope that you enjoy your evening and the next few days

MerryCarey, I hope that you meet all of your deadlines with as little as anxiety and stress as possible. I will be thinking of you this week!

I am finally done with school for the week! I am off for the next three days and the weekend of course. Sadly, I feel like I have so much to do. I have tons of homework, studying for final, projects, errands, etc. I guess I'd rather do that than go to class. I do want to spare some time for the Penguins game of course and also I really want to go see the Hunger Games movie.

I will check back later. Have a good supper

Thanks to everyone who kept me in their thoughts today---it helped!

I'm thinking about all of you who have much heavier burdens than mine, and hoping that they get lighter soon. I'm worrying about CM3 and Ivy, too.

I hope you finally got it and that your not stuck at work all night!!!!

MerryCarey, I hope that you meet all of your deadlines with as little as anxiety and stress as possible. I will be thinking of you this week!

I finally got to see 11 out of 78 property descriptions today. The really good news is that each one consists of a headline and a few bullet points---NOT several hundred words apiece! So it may not be so bad after all. (Having said that, the gremlins will now throw something unexpected into the works! Keep thinking positive thoughts!)

Well the Neurologist was at least truthful and said they have no Idea. Basically just wait and see if it happens again.


In other news the Colts have only 1 prime time game this year and it's on a Thursday. So I guess we know how the NFL feels they are going to do.

I've been putting out the "weed & feed" on my lawn, and now the sprinkler is running. Hopefully those ol' nasty weeds will be a thing of the past!

Hello everybody - you have no idea how many times I have thought about all of you & my little Christmas home here in the last month, but it has been -not a good month. One month ago today my brother passed away. He was mountain biking on St. Patty's Day when he had a heart attack & died instantly. The autopsy report is not back yet, but my brother has been talking to the coroner (my bro is a retired cop so he has all the "inside" information) March 17th was a gorgeous day in Ohio. I was having the greatest day - I went for a long walk in the morning, then took the dog for a walk, then I went to the lake & went for my 1st bike ride of the season. I got home & I was hanging clothes on the line thinking how it was one of them days that it is just so perfect it seems like something bad is going to happen to shatter the bubble. It was kind of an eerie feeling looking back. About an hour later I got a phone call from an investigater who was with my brothers wife, telling me what had happened. Life changes in an instant, and it will never be the same. We miss him so much! I am so thankful for my big family so we can go through this together (though it stinks) & our wonderful friends & especially for nothing but wonderful memories of Mike. I honestly can not remember a bad memory of Mike. He was such a happy person, always making people smile & doing whatever he could do to make the world a better place. As his co-workers said "he made the sun shine brighter & our lives are better for having known him" And now my goal is to model my life by his - what an honor to be his sister!

Ok - sorry to be such a downer tonight. I wanted to let you know the reason I haven't been around. We really are doing alright coping, but it's one day at a time! Just keep smiling!

Now I am going to read some of your recent posts b/c I know you all will make me smile!

I hope everyone is doing well!

So very sorry for your loss, Holiday. Thinking of you & your family, I'll keep you all in my prayers. Hold those wonderful memories of Mike close to your heart!

Holiday- I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. My prayers are with your entire family.

Mike sounds like a wonderful person, no wonder you miss him.

Hugs to you

I am getting some energy back, but this cough is really making my ribs sore. I am sure I will be over it soon (at least I hope I will)
Thanks for thinking about me!

I'm also getting anxious about CM3 and Ivy---I hope there is good news soon.

Merry That is so sweet...I will explain in another post but it is not good news.

Oh Made...How disappointing.....

((Holiday)) I am so very sorry for your loss. Both of my brothers died young. One was 31 and the other 49 very suddenly. I am praying for you and your family...xo

Good evening, Christmas family

I just did a great big long post and when I went to post it, was redirected to another page....

In a nutshell, Ivy is not doing well ....None of the treatments have worked.....If she is not improved tomorrow we are going to have to, well I don't even want to say it. It just hurts too much.

Thank you EVERYONE for all your prayers and concern. I can't tell you how thankful I am and greatful to all of you.....

God bless xo and ((Hugs)) to all especially Ella, Snickers, Harlowe, Snowball, Palmer, Mouse, Scooby, Sasha, Chico and siblings, Gomez and siblings, Pocket, and all furkids everywhere. Be sure to give your furkids extra hugs...I wish I had given Ivy more.....xo

 

[made582]

I'm so sorry Louann. I'll be praying extra hard for you and Ivy tonight.

 

[Crown 84]

So sorry to hear, Holiday.
Now we know why we haven't been seeing you at the 'Pines.

Carl's sad too.

 

[Holiday]

Thanks everybody for the words & prayers. I know why I love this place so much!

Crown - give Carl a hug for me!

She is doing ok. She gets tired easily and has some constant pain from the cancer and arthritis but she is tough. She goes to Wake Forest to see her Oncologist later this month. We're not expecting anything new. Hopefully it stays slow growing and away from vital organs. She has lots of scar tissue in her pelvic area from all the surgeries and the cancer is currently isolated in the scar tissue.

This may be more than you wanted to know but thank you very much for asking and for your prayers.

I will keep her in my thoughts
