Hmmmmm,Its 0619 and Noone has started the thread today'!!!!!!
Dear Carla and all,
I've never been happy over someone's death before. It's a strange feeling. He thought he would never get caught. Even tho the terrorist still are out there they lost a large amount of funding I imagine.
Cleaning house today (again.) How come it doesn't stay in better shape since there are only 2 of us? Our kitchen counter is a catch-all. I love my counters free of "stuff."
Everyone take care. Mag

Hi All,
I'm back to work... my Spring break was not what I needed, but I guess it worked out alright. I did need the time to spend with my Mom, though it was anything but restful. She has been moved to a rehab hospital to try to get back some independence. Her brain is definitely going fast. I don't have test results yet, but the news will not be good.
As far as Bin Laden goes... I'm glad he is gone, but I'm not elated. The problem will not be gone. The repurcussions of 9/11 will not be gone. Not much will change. Our world has changed- it's sad... we can't get that safety back. killing him won't make anyone safe- probably the opposite. This goes on and on. You have to remember that I'm not in a great mood these days. My glass is half empty this week... that's unusual for me.
Back to work now- the children are a comfort for sure!

Good Afternoon Carla, OFFrs,
Guess I've been gone a lot lately, my dear friend Karen wrote to say I was missed, nice to know. . .
Woke this morning to my alarm clock and the news that Bin Laden was dead, see my response to it on Monica's post, won't go into again on here, but recounts my personal experiences as someone who was affected deeply and those scars linger, Bin Laden's death will not change what was and do not be lulled into false security, there are many who hate Americans simply because of our lifestyles and do not fear death, as their death assures them of paradise. . . so long as people suffer jealousy there will be no real peace, but perhaps one day the world will realize, blood is blood, no matter whose is shed. I am grateful to be an American and proud of those people who put their lives on the line daily to allow me my opinions and freedoms!
Well, my weekend flew by, Saturday 2 yards of mushroom soil delivered, Tony and I had breakfast and then headed to Citizens Field to watch our Mutts (I mean the Mets) get beaten by the Phillies, at least it was not an embarassing loss, afterwards we went to Athony's Coal Fired Pizza, where we had wings and Pizza, it was good, not that I could eat much, but it was tasty. Tony and I went home watched some television, played with Roxie and then he went home and I went to my women's AA meeting. I got woken up at 2:30 in the morning by Party Central, my neighbors, guess they thought that it was a cloudy afternoon, because they were carrying on like it was mid-day until at 3:00 am, I openend my bedroom window, which just happens to be over their hot tub and told them that it was indeed 3 a.m., that this was my bedroom and they had woken me up, they should feel free to have a good time, but to do so quietly, they apologized and 15 minutes later they were gone. . . needless to say I woke up at 8:30 grumpy from having my sleep interrupted as I could not get back to sleep right away, it throw my whole day off, but I put my grumpy self to work and moved furniture, clean baseboards, fan blades and everything in between and by 3 p.m. I was spent and well beyond tired, so luckily I did not need to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I ran a couple of errands, came home grilled a piece of steak, had dinner and finished up my laundry, hung with Roxie, watched a little television and fell asleep about 10 minutes into Brothers and Sisters, which is why I missed the news last night, but it certainly was a good morning and I hope that those who acted with great courage are feeling lighter today.
I am on lunch break now and all is well with me, hope that each and everyone of you have a good day, sending special thought to all facing life challenges. . .
Hugs, Laureen

Good afternoon, ya'll.
Well my medi-port is GONE! Yippee, skippy! A couple shots to numb it, felt some tugging and pushing, heard some snipping, saw some sewing! They asked if I wanted it, but I declined! That reminder is now gone!
I think somewhere in the back of my head I felt if I wasn't losing weight my cancer was not coming back. Cause I think the last 30 pounds I lost was from the cancer. But now, I am thinking straight and determined! I'll get back into my bikini in no time.
Wonderful news about Osama. I just hope it is true and that someone doesn't immediately step up and take over.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Good afternoon Carla and everyone....
So much excitement through the night.....God Bless America and God Bless our Troops!!!
I did laundry and a little cleaning this morning. Just made lunch for Grace (granddaughter) and am finally finding my way here. She ate all her lunch so I promised her a DQ later. We don't go often so it is a real treat!!
Today is Nic's (grandson) Senior Skip Day...he is off with his friends!! Picking up a Harley in another town.
Did I tell you Kyleigh (granddaughter) got a "real job" a couple weeks ago? She is working full-time and just loves it. $10 and hour to start...not bad for an 19 year old and her first real job!
Amanda and Lucas (grandchildren) are doing great. They are excited about coming and visiting when school is out. Of course they will all be here on the 15th for Nic's graduation party. It will be fun to get together again.
Grammylew....glad the med-port is gone...what a relief!!
Pat...keep healing and resting.
Judy....happy for you and your family....mom is home..YAY
Karen...if you ever get bored with free plane tickets I would gladly take one off your hands....LOL
Have a great day everyone. Prayers for many in need.
Love and hugs to all....connie d

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
I had an appointment with the pain clinic this morning; sure wish I could afford the shots int he back but the insurance is so crappy Iit would all go toward the deductible and come out of my own pocket. So I do get the shots and manage my pain on drugs. Anyway, $50 copay and an hour later, I had another month prescription for vicodin and I was on my merry way home ... but first, I stopped off to get some groceries (I didn't need much, but I definitely needed salad and spinach and cheese). Plus, I had to get Mom a gift card for Mother's Day.
My Starbucks has a couple young Magnolia trees in front ... tiy ones ... they both started blooming today ... so pretty. I will have to go take a photo this afternoon on the way in.
I need a nap ... have to work today. Have a good one. ... oh, it's still exciting working for newspapers when there's breaking news like last night. We had to rip up front pages to get this news in. Coool stuff.
