Wendy, WOW what a change....that is so awesome. I have something like that in my profile with hubby and I in my old jeans together and an old tee shirt that was snug on me and now we both hit into them. Sure shows just how far you have come. I LOVE those pics of your doggies...OMG I wish I could get mine to wear something for Halloween, the Jack Russell might left me because he loves the attention but Willow the mutt she would bite at it though I do have some jingle bells that she wears around her neck at Christmas time and she likes them. Thanks for sharing hun, that is just awesome! Debra P

Oh Lucy, that night (thurs) after my dental appt was just awful. I'm so ashamed of how I treated my family that night. The tylenol w/codiene didn't work at all - so the full brunt of the pain was upon me. I screamed at everyone to find some percocet - I just knew we had some leftover in this house somewhere - everyone kept asking me questions and making me talk - which just made me yell more.... to the point that they all ditched me. Literally. I was so crazed with pain that I just started scooping dishes out of the cabinets all over the counters, the sink the floor, (breaking them) in a desperate attempt to find that percocet. I found it... and valium. I took both. Nothing worked until around 5 the next morning when I finally went to bed - to discover that my hubby actually locked the bedroom door on me!!! OMG I was really that horrible. I don't know why they didn't call the paddy wagon & white coats to come pick me up. I don't remember if I explained all that happened at the dentist that day - but it was supposed to be a root canal. Then he ended up having to pull it. I thought no biggie - I've had widsom teeth out, 5 children, gastric bypass, ps...walk in the park. I was numb on that whole side. It was all good. Well, that darned thing did NOT want to come out! The more he tugged at it, the more the other side of my jaw hurt. I raised my hand, I moaned, I pointed, over and over again... Like HELLO!!! PAIN!! I threw my legs up in the air - my purse and water bottle flew across the room. I had my knees almost up to my chest digging my heels in. I gave all the universal signs for pain that i possibly could! Finally, it came out with a big bang of pain on the other side. He told me to bite down on the gauze and i couldn't. I have a double jointed jaw so sometimes it locks up on me in the dentist office - but I can always work it back into place. This time i couldn't. The top of my jaw bone (where it is jointed) was under the corner of my eye - waaayyyyy out of place. By this time I was white as a sheet and shaking like crazy and crying. He said "It's okay, just lay back and trust me. Your jaw is dislocated and you need to relax and let me pop it back in place." HA! There's no "just pop it back in place" It was shove, tug, shove tug and OUCH!!!! Then he tells me i have to open my mouth back up for stitches. All I could think was "I'm done. I'm just done" I drove myself there and I was so messed up shaking and crying that they didn't want me to drive - but I wasn't staying in that place for one more second. I can't even tell you how nervous I am about getting the stitches taken out on thursday You know, on the subject of finding that special someone.... it's just unexplainable how it works the way it does for some...and so very differently for others. I had a friend years ago (she moved away and we lost touch) who was just the greatest most fun person ever to hang out with and talk to. She was single and looking. I could see from the outside looking in that she actually intimidated men because she made it VERY clear that she was looking for a relationship right from the get-go. I have no idea WHY this scares so many men - especially since most of them are looking for the same thing. Anyway, I suggested to her that she treat every man she meets like a new girlfriend that she hangs with instead of a potential mate - just as an expirament. Funny thing happened. She ended up having several men expressing their desire to up the relationship! She actually had a hard time figuring out which guy she wanted to take the chance with! Makes me wonder if it's just the way men are programmed - you know, to be the hunter, the suitor, whatever... ya know? I'm thinking it will happen after your ps. Your self-confidence is going to go up. I recently had someone at work (a man) tell me that I was "Quiet and confident - and that was powerful!" The way he said it made me blush! hee hee that was cool! but food for thought, eh? You are a wonderful person. I will keep you in my prayers - you have a lot coming up! Hugs, Pam

I am crazy! Runs in the family LOL! Thanks for the compliments too! And as for the dogs, they hate sitting still, but my daughter helped me get them to stay long enough for the pics! My female HATES being dressed up, but the male loves it. He runs to us if we pick up the costumes! LOL! He cracks me up! He loves the attention and runs around acting like a little clown, the more we laugh the more his tail wags! Wendy

Thanks Carla! Wendy
