An unthinking parent who only thinks about himself. How sad that he did not consider the far-reaching consequences of his act. I truly hope there is someone with some sense to help this young girl. Prayers on the way, MGR.

Happy Pines day everyone.

We had more bad news this morning. We had a 17 yr old commit suicide Monday then last night a 15 yr old girl in our high school attempted suicide. She is in ICU in Asheville. Just like the first kid, she was struggling with a broken home. Her dad had an affair and moved in with his girlfriend abandoning his kids. Some folks should not have children. There are obviously a lot hurting kids out there. We live in a very small community, only 5,000 people in our whole county, so it hits everyone hard. Sorry to be a downer but the family covets your prayers.

Thinking of you on the day, Xmas. Have you thought about doing something on this day each year to celebrate your mom's life? What are the things she loved to do most? Did she have a favorite food or favorite book? You could make a special meal and remember her, and you could read her favorite book or excerpts from it. What was her favorite movie?

Good morning,

Just resting for what will be a long night at work. Still playing catch up from last weeks lost days. Today is always a hard day for me, it was 22 years ago today my mom lost her battle with cancer, I always get moody, and emotional on and around this day. Trying to keep myself calm by listening to some Christmas music, it always relaxes me the most. I should probably start to get ready for work.

Dinner?

So we know Black Smoke means the coffee is on at the vatican and White smoke means we have a new pope. What does a white seagull sitting on top of the chimmney for an hour mean though?

 

[Seawaters]

Keeping you in thoughts and prayers, Brad. Take care!

Good Wednesday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

I found a way to "remote desktop" into my computer from a vacant computer, so I can get a few things done before I have to be out tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to another procedure, but hopefully he can figure on what the problem is, and get me going again!

I'll try to check in again tomorrow. If not, Friday for sure.

I hope y'all have a great next few days! cheesy

Good afternoon, MMC~

Hope your day is going well!

It's only in the 20's here, cloudy, flurrying, and windy....brr!

If only it were December =]

Have a wonderful Thursday!!

Take care, Jennifer. I had the burning throat business earlier this week, but I kept taking Ricola drops to ease the pain.

I do not feel well! I have red ulcers all over the back sides of my throat. I get them a couple of times a year and it's usually a virus that has to run its course. If they turn white then I know it's strep throat. The worst thing is there is nothing I can do to ease the pain. The last time I had them I thought gargling with salt water would help, but nooooo. They turned even brighter red and burned terribly. I didn't know that I had them this time and I ate sauce, now I'm paying the price! I have been feeling rundown for a few days but I thought it had to do with the time change. Now I know why!

 

[Seawaters]

Take care, MC. I had dizziness from an inner ear infection when I was a senior in college. It took a looong time to get over it! I had to crawl to the bathroom because of the dizziness. Not fun. Prayers on the way!

Haven't been around much today. Went to work but left about 12:30 and came home and slept for a few hours. Would have come home much earlier, but there was work that had to be done and they couldn't wait for a temp to get there. Nothing serious, just severe fatigue and brain fog. Yesterday evening I got dizzy suddenly for no good reason, and it just got worse, so I went to bed early. Even lying down, the bed spun unless I lay very still. I wasn't dizzy when I got up this morning, but I didn't feel right all day, and still don't. I think it has something to do with yesterday's dizziness somehow. I may stay home tomorrow if I feel the same in the morning. But that's nothing compared with what some of you are dealing with right now. You're all in my thoughts.

I forgot to add that including the kids could make this day meaningful for the kids to remember their grandmother. Is there a special charity that the kids could donate a little something to in memory of your mom? What was your mom's favorite color or favorite flower? Maybe you could set out a vase with flowers in her memory and recount to the boys some of the fun things she is noted for.

It may sound odd but i used to get horrible sore throats all the time and I found the best cure for me was to crush an asprin on a spoon put a little water with it and swallow it. The asprin would coat my throat and really help the pain!!!!! Just my two cents worth .

I am back from the vet. The doctor said my dog has some kind of airway disease going on. We are going to start her on medication that will hopefully help to open up the airway and make her breathe easier. My poor baby. Praying it helps her, she is so incerdibly sweet. I hate to see her uncomfortable.

Aw, your poor dog - she is in my prayers!

loading van up with all our "why do we have this anyway?" donations for the trift store. Taking mom shopping and getting my brother to change the oil in the van. And shopping!

I have several bags of items in the attic I need to load in the truck one of these days - thank you for the reminder!

 

[Meceka]

Good afternoon, MMC!

I am going to go out for a walk while the sun is shining.

Have a MERRY day!!!

I remember Mother having me do this when I was a kid!!!

Good one !! Madam Ambassador !!! xo

 

[caninemom3]

Thanks, everyone ... the dizziness was gone yesterday, but I had a just-got-out-of-bed feeling all day, foggy and tired, that I couldn't shake off. They got a temp to cover me at work yesterday afternoon and today, so I'm going to stay home and try some more rest. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll just go back to business as usual tomorrow and try to work through it. Momnan, I wonder if the maneuver would help with these after-effects even though the whirlies are gone? Couldn't hurt, I guess.

(((Merry))) praying you feel back to normal soon !! xo

Good Thursday afternoon, my Christmas friend!

Please forgive any typing errors, i'm using my cell in my hospital room. Also wathing the Christmas episode of "The Mentalist".

I had 2 more blockages in the same vein, so the doctor put another stent in. I'm feeling much better now. He said if I weren't already taking all my medicine, i would have had another heart attack. He said this was just another unexpected fluke, and i should have anymore troubles. Here's hoping!

I'll check in tomorrow. I hope y'all have a great evening, and thanks for the prayers! cheesy
