GET YOUR F'ING NOSE OUTTA THE TEXTBOOK I SAY!!!!

 My beautiful Sam ... thanks for responding .... I met with someone yesterday and was sooooooooo happy to know there was a kind and compassionate care giver who met her in her happy place ....comfort/compassion/understanding and her dignity remained intact... and her fears subsided ... I wish I get that type of care when my time arrives ....

SPOILER ALERT FOR WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

Love you and love your message.  I just finished reading Water for Elephants and had no idea about the retired vetrinarian's situation.  Until he found a nurse with some compassion, it was breaking my heart.  If we all can't run away and join a circus, let us be where ever we want to go in our minds.

I need a folder just for all of Martitalinda's threads I've bookmarked.

Ohhhhhh shooot ... I MUST READ THAT BOOK!!!!! Love you right back!!!!  YAY for those who let us be where ever we want to go in our minds ... as long as we are safe ... let us be in our happy place I say!!!  Treat me while I can be treated ... but once it is all over just keep me comfortable and let me be ... in my mind I will always be free!!!

Okay ... checking online to get this for my kindle... otherwise I am ordering it in any shape or form I can get i****er for Elephants ... my next read....

 You are the female counterpart of Jacob in Water for Elephants.  The book is best listened to but also great to read.  I can see you ending up exactly like Jacob did.

 My DD is downloading it to my kindle ... and I am most definitely reading it ... I certainly would like to know about this Jacob ... Thanks sooooooooo much for taking the time to reply.

I love it! Amen.  maria

 Thank you Maria .... Yay for those care givers *****ally really CARE!

 I won't give away the ending, but would love to have my life turn out like Jacob Jankowski's when I am ninety or ninety three.

I am starting to read it tonight ... it is all set up for my by my DD... I am pretty sure I will love it ... and if he gets to a happy place I would want to be right there too at 93!!!
