Good morning all I hope everyone has a great day.

Emma Rae,
I just sent a bunch of emails of jokes and other things. Just wanted to let you know. I hope you enjoy them I was off yesterday and thats what I found this morning now they are yours to.

I hope you enjoy a few of them.

Yeah, that's very whiny. And you're right, try to be more interesting.
This is a great example of the "say something negative about myself in hopes that everyone else will say it isn't so" post.

You ought to know Mikey...judging by the extreme lengths you go to for attention on all these forums. You are the MASTER of abuse my friend.

emma rae, if you are on myspace before canadagirl comes home would you shoot her a note that barb is thinking of her - i didn't get on her friend list before she left but she has my phone...

bad day yesterday:

*uncle died
*dad to hospital for transfusion - 12th time in hospital since jan
*favorite aunt went to hosp and may not make it
*have infection in me wrist where the pins are
*was supposed to have hip replaced in mid october - doc just pushed it, yesterday, to 09. i can hardly walk and am in 24 hour pain
*my dog jack has 2 infections - at vet
*i have stomach flu - again

my dad has been dying very slowly and horribly over the last two years. his chronic kidney failure is moving to end stage renal failure, chronic congestive heart disease is worsening, he goes psychotic frequently and currently believes and sees kittens crawling out of his couch and chair.

i'm sorry to be so negative, i'm just having a really down day and i live alone - noone to complain to.

thanks for letting me vent...

It's going prewtty decent here, lifelover. I would have liked a little more sun, but the temperature was where I like it, nice and comfortable.

oh hi gentle Taz.and everyone else.this was a bummer -our water heater went out 1 1/2 weeks ago now..finally got a new one.they arent cheap.had to come up with extra money after paying grandville city taxes..cold water was a drag.had to boil water for everything.take showers somewhere else.or not[.crazy..]things you take for granted.we had tons of rain,also our basement got wet[we live by buck creek,that wasnt much fun cleaning it up.other than that I have been working like everyone else.no free time ever.

Divadog, I will be thinking about you. It's rough when the folks get old. My Dad has been gone since 1986. He was only 64. I miss him so. My Mom will be 84 this month. She just got out of the hospital. You just have to take it one day at a time, and don't let yourself get run down.

Lifelover, Glad you are back in business with the hot water. Enjoy it :)

Divadog, PRAYERS are with you, your plate looks full at this time, that.s the" KEY " at this time. keep having good thoughts and remember the sun will shine when the clouds drift away! bless you .

Divadog thoughts and prayers and many hugs to you. Hope you get over the flu before surgery on the 9th. I will keep on praying for you and your family. I too lst my dad in 2000 to live cancer caused from complications from heb b virus that he got in VNam. He was only 50 years old.

yes,remember Divadog.we do care on here..caring friend forum place.always someone to talk to....Walk by faith,not by sight...hey hows everyones gardens doing,after all that rain..then sunshine.my tomatoes are growing crazy,lots of them.yum

Lots of ((hugs)) & prayers headed your way divadog. Thats what we are here for. This is a fantastic group of people & even though most of have never met. we all still care about each other & their families.
(((HUGS))) again.

thank you all for your kindness. i know that all of this wil pass, it's just facing the pain and not running from it like i used to.

support like this helps a lot.

a bit og good news. i had my first ever bone density test and...i do NOT have osteporosis! whoopie! i'll take what i can get for good news i guess.

thanks to everyone...

Like Taz said vent away. Sound like you need too.

I will send Canadagirl a note, maybe she can give you a call.

My thoughts and prayers are with you hang in there things will get better.

hugs.....

Thought some of you might get a chuckle out of this one:[Diva, sounds like you could use a chuckle right now; Take a deep breath hon]

Fri Sep 5, 7:58 PM ET
TRENTON, N.J.- Cries for help inside a Trenton, N.J., home turned out to be for the birds. Neighbors called police Wednesday morning after hearing a woman's persistent cry of "Help me! Help me!" coming from a house. Officers arrived and when no one answered the door, they kicked it in to make a rescue.
But instead of a damsel in distress, officers found a caged cockatoo with a convincing call.
It wasn't the first time the 10-year-old bird named Luna said something that brought authorities to the home of owner Evelyn DeLeon.
About seven years ago, the bird cried like a baby for hours, leading to reports of a possible abandoned baby and a visit to the home by state child welfare workers. But it was only Luna practicing a newfound sound, DeLeon says.
DeLeon says her bird learns much of her ever-growing vocabulary from watching television, in both English and Spanish.

It sounds like the bird is smarter than some people, he's bi lingual! LOL

And like many people on other threads on Topix, he doesn't really understand what he's saying! LOL

How true Taz... Last night I went wandering other threads... holy smokes there are some very "uninformed/uneducated " folks out there.

Diva ... things will all come together and be fine in their own time, until then you are very lucky to have such a fine support group to get you through whatever trials and tribulations life throws your way.
I know that many days when the blues hit me and I think nothing in the world is right... I come here and see that my little woes are minimal and pray for others to make it through theirs.
It is looking like a beautiful morning out there! I open the curtains first thing in the morning and let the sun shine in. Helps me start on a positive footing for the day!
Everyone have a great day! If you are traveling stay safe.
