ROTFLMFAO at the Cabbage patch LOL

thanks for the laugh!!

WoOoOoOTtttttt!!!!!!  Girl, that deserves more than a woot! LOL!  I'm so happy for you!  I mentioned yesterday that we need to have a group Goodwill trip to Wilmington or Raleigh, the thrift stores around here are terrible for sure.   You are such a good Cousin, just be supportive of her (I know you already are) and I'm sure you're an influence (sp?) even if you don't realize it, hopefully she'll get some control of her weight or maybe we'll have another lapper, ya never know.  My friend Kathi also gained a lot of weight when she was on fertility drugs.  It's a great thing but the side effects - ugh!  Thank God that bundle of joy is worth it in the long run.   Have a great time in Orlando, I will get there one of these days!!!!!!!!!!!!  If you see Goofy please tell him hello for me and that I miss him... lol!   Wooooooot again, I'm proud of you!

The really really sad part is the fertility drugs did not work, all those daily injections and surgeries to implant the eggs went on for a year... my poor cousin is now stuck with a $45,000 loan and no baby and does not want to adopt insurance does not cover fertility drugs and I feel sooo bad for her. I offered to give her all my reproductive organs since I never had any kids but shes faced and accepted the fact that this is what life has dealt her. Thanks for listening.

Darc, I'm sooo sorry for your Cousin, I had 2 miscarriages and was never able to have children.  It's a sad thing for sure, so many of us that want children and can't and those who don't want them and have a dozen...ugh!  Thank God I have my 2 Nephews and God-Daughter!!!  Spoiled as they are I still love them!  I have a good friend who always says that if she gets pregnant she's giving the child over to me.. lol!  I told her the other day that if she wants me to raise her child she better get busy, I'm 45 after all... I'm not holding my breath!  LOL!!!!!!! I'm here any time you need me girl! Sheryl

Darcie,

I'm delighted to hear that you've made it into the 150's! Welcome!!! I know what you mean about sailing through the pant sizes. My husband just mentioned how full my closet has become again and I had to tell him "Yeah, but most of it doesn't fit." Oh well ... better to have clothes too big, than too small... LOL.

I know that your cousin must be so very proud of you and I'm sure that your caring and sensitivity are going to go a long way towards helping to ensure that you both have a lovely time together.

I hope you both have a wonderful time.

Hugs,

Barb

Thank you so much Barb for always being such a great cheerleader and wonderful inspiration!!

WOW DARCIE LOOK AT YOU 150 that is wonderful. It is also so kind of you to spend time with your cousin and get tickets to Cirque Du Soliel. Lee and I saw it 5 years ago and loved it. Doing all 4 parks it was great but when night time came room service and a comfortable bed was all we wanted. Have a blast.                                     Annie PS who is taking care of your feathered friends?

This will be my 10th time seeing Cirque Du Soleil.. I am a JUNKY LOL yes after a day at the parks the outdoor hot tub and the bed does indeed feel wonderful!! all the dogs and birds go to a place called Animal house where they have doggie day camp and boarding they are alway so happy when we pick them up!

Sounds like a great spot to take your fur babies too.                                       Annie
