What's new Thursday?
Annette 
I hope you feel better soon. Back pain is terrible.
Sandy
I am sorry that you are suffering from back pain, sending you positive healing thoughts!
Hugs, Laureen
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

The other idea is to find a pain specialist, like I go to. Works wonders for me. The shots in the back make me use much less medication (although I have the medication to help, too).
Hope you feel better.
I hope it will be a great day for everyone.
Do you believe this one. My husband has jury duty today. He has been *b***** about it since he got the letter. Anyway, he wakes me up at 6am telling me found a pair of pants to wear..lol.. I thought good for you and asked why did you wake me up to just ask me that. He said, I don't know just wanted to tell you. Now, is that funny or what. I was mad because I was in a deep sleep and didn't want to wake up that early. Stayed up later than usual. Men... Of course not including you in that generalization George...)
I am still suffering through the decision of putting me dog down. I feel so bad. It haunts me daily. I know some of you understand this feeling. It is constantly on my mind. It is depressing.
I have to tell you that I had a woman I was writing to for over a year. Even talked on the phone. I helped her over some rough times and we wrote each other daily about things going on in our lives, family and such. I told her the doctor prescribed some medicine for me for depression and she wrote back to me stating she won't anser my letters until I get off of the medicine. I was hurt and angry at the same time. I didn't answer that letter. I guess having depression has a stigma too it and I just told her because she was my friend. It is weird isn't it? Hurtful also.
What do you think about that?
I enjoy writing to people, it takes your mind off of your own problems and listen to others.
I can't help if I got depressed. I have a lot of things that are out of my control right now. I am not suicidal or anything. I just don't get it. Normally I am fun loving and feel good.
Oh well enough of my blathering.
I know some of you have bigger problems than I do. Hopefully they also will work out for you.
Take care and have a great day
Mary
I am on my way. What a ride it has been.

Mary,
Please tell your husband and anyone else who does jury duty that to someone they are a hero. That someone is me. My sister was murdered in 1992 and it's because of jurors that took the time to do their civic duty, the murderer got 35 years in prison. It's the common man/woman that lifts up our justice system.
Tell him thanks from me.

I am sorry to hear about your sister. You must think daily about what happened. Horrible.
I will tell my husband what you said. I think he understands it is a good thing to do, but we need the money so bad it is hard to take off of work and lose a days pay. I guess we will be rewarded in another way.
Thanks for writing and my prayers to you and your family

Mary,
I'm sorry the jury duty places a hardship on you. In CT if you are a full-time employee (30 hours or more a week) your employer must pay you for the first five days of jury duty. Thereafter, the court pays you fify dollars a day. Have you checked with your state?
I pray that God will open a door where you will profit in some way from your sacrifice. As you say the reward may be in another way.
I do think of her every day. Her son who was 13 months old at her death is now a Freshman in college. I'm especially sad when I see what she had to miss with him.
Thanks for your prayers.
Bev
