Hi,  I saw it is raining and thought "God's tears wash away the pain in our lives", and it is so true. Sometimes bad things do happen to good people, and we can't comprehend "why"-just know our Lord has it all in His hands.Today, I remember all those whos lives were devistated by the events of 9-11, in the past & still contiinue to be.I am proud to be a family member of those who serve to protect our freedom, and pray we will find a way to bring our troops home safely soon. One of my  dear friends/work associates passed away suddenly, so I am working today doing his flowers. He was such a fun guy, always had a joke or smile for you- and he was a Funeral Director! It is so hard to know what to say other than express our love and care. I saw him at the Drs. Wed. and we joked about what 2 healthy people were doing at the Drs. office-he just got a clean bill of health, and died of a massive heart attack. Again, I don't understand the "whys"~I just know God had better plans for him than being here.   I am looking forward to seeing everyone tonight, and hopefully we'll be there at 6pm. Just depends on how quick I can get out of work~gotta go, orders are calling me! (((hugs))) Ellen

Well I will be bold and say stick your fork in the cake part and pull it out and lick the fork.  PS no icing.  You should be able to get away with that.  I would guess you will not even want to eat the cake.  I still have no interest in flour products.  This is from a man that made 2 loaves of bread a day for us to eat. E.

mornin y'all...kinda bummed today....just thinking how close I came to losing a brother-in-law 6 years ago in the twin towers and also thinking of my son who is in the Navy. I haven't heard from him in about 3 months...he is deployed and I am sure the internet service on ship hasn't been set up yet. I am having a rotten day...mother nature HATES ME!!!!!!!! Thought this mess was over with....nooooooooooooo lets have one more BAD one before surgery....I reckon is better to have now instead of during surgery!  On an up note....I am soooooooooooooooo blessed with y'all on here. In the weee hours of the night....I can come online and read. Y'all have so many good posts and have answered so many of my questions...THANKS! OK..now for a trick question....lol  I will be celebrating my first anniversary Oct. 28th....one month AFTER surgery...from what I read NO SWEETS unless I want serious dumping....soooooooo is it still good luck to eat the top layer of wedding cake EARLY???????  I need to do this before surgery! OR maybe I can have one forkful ON the anniversary day?????? I KNOW this is silly...but we did save the top! (well cupcakes....we didn't have a cake..we had chocolate cupcakes with pink cherry icing and a cherry on top).   I KNOW I am soooooooooo crazy.... Well anyway,.....y'all have a marvelous Tuesday and God Bless the USA huggggggggggs, Janene

I'd do it before surgery, if you're going to do it! You don't want to get sick on your anniversary.

Good morning. It is kind of a somber morning. I think 9-11 is a day we all remember where we were, and what was happening. Kind of like for my generation, what JFK's assassination was for my parents' generation. I was working at the medical school back then. I remember watching the news on the television set up there, on the only channel we got, trying to figure out what was happening. I remember leaving early that day to get the Mikey, because I was scared, and didn't know what was going to happen. That fall was the same time as my mother was so sick with her Crohn's disease. She was in the U. of Chicago hospital for months. We really thought we were going to lose her. She got down to about 90 pounds. It was just a hard year all around.  I was feeling really good last week, in fact to the point I was probably hypomanic, maybe a little manic (I have bipolar disorder). I was spending like water. D'oh. I ended up getting a puppy among other things. He's a poodle. We just can't keep him though. He would be our fourth dog. My kids' daycare lady had to put her dog down about 2 months ago though. She has been looking for another dog since. We took the poodle over to meet her, and she fell in love with him. She babies her pets, so we're going to give him to her, and know he will have a good home. It's like I said, when she was telling me how great she would take care of the puppy, I said, "Hey I trust you with my kids, right?" I am so relieved that we found a good home for him. He's really a sweet dog. I got my meds adjusted , though and I'm feeling a little more even now. I've had to have a couple of adjustments since surgery. I think it's hard to tell which meds are being absorbed and not, you know? But I do pretty well overall.

I don't think I'll be able to go to Ryan's tonight after all. I HAVE to catch up on laundry tonight. Sorry guys! I was so looking forward to seeing you all. Maybe next time. 

Good morning everyone. Today is a somber day in many ways but in one HUGE way it's FANTASTIC... It's my birthday.. I'm a bigt whopping 26 today I'm not doing much,my hubby has to work and i don't think anyone in my family cares... SO... Happy birthday to me!!



I'm glad that you're feeling better Vicki...

And you Linda, I know that that can be hard to deal with... glad you got your meds checked...



My boss called in today... so the kids shall play



Hope everyone has a good time with dinner tonight I have to go have dinner with my friend for our birthdays... her's is the 6th mine is the 11th so we always meet and have dinner... Talk to everyone later

Happy  Birthday Jessyca.  Hope you have a great day! Floyd

Happy Birthday Avon way.  I am going to be in that area tonight at *******s for a B and O trial meeting.   I am interested in getting a bike/walking trail like the Monon on our side of town. I will see what they are about. ElRodeo Nachocs El Carbon allows me to pick at it while the wife eats with me. Have a blessed day. E  

That runs RIGHT behind my house... You can seriously look in my back window when you're on that trail now... I thought that they were making it a trail? They've certainly started excavating occasionally back there... I've been hoping that they would make that a trail for a while so I could start running on it...

La Hacienda lets me do that too... I don't like el Rodeo as much as La Hacienda... Thanks so much
