Hats and a Smile: Photo inside

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Conner, a 13-year-old boy from Indiana who had a BMT for a very rare disease called NEMO. Only a handful of NEMO boys have had BMTs with "mixed results" according to Conner's mom. Conner's transplant was in August and he's had a rough time with a few highs and lots of lows. I thought it would be neat if Conner could get a hat from every state to maybe boost his morale as well as cover his bald head since it's getting cold! So far four hats have been sent and a few more are pending. I was hoping you all could help out by either sending a hat, or even just passing the links along as the more this gets around, the more hats Conner will receive.
At least check out his web site that his mom and dad maintain updating his progress, posting slide shows, etc. Conner is one in a set of triplets and also has a 10-year-old sister. The photos tug at your heart and the music rips out what's left of it. It would be great if you signed the guest book. His mom says they read it together every day and it means a lot to the both of them. This family, and especially Conner, needs all the encouragement and support they can get.
Thanks everyone!

As long as it has something to do with PA, that would be great! If the beanie is plain, maybe a pin having to do with PA to put on the hat?
He does have the sweetest face, huh?
Thanks, PAMT!
Hats off to you!
I think it sounds as if you're doing a WONDERFUL job of balancing career and education, and I greatly admire your ability to do this, especially at the age of 22. I know more than few people your age who are content to continue to live with their parents and play video games all day, with little or no thought to getting a job or furthering their education, so your post is indeed like a breath of fresh air!!!
Hang in their and keep moving towards your goals. If you keep your focus as you apparently are doing now, I've no doubt you'll find great success, not only in your education and career, but in life in general.
Conner Needs Hats
A boy from Indiana could use a boost. Conner was found to have a rare genetic disorder called NEMO, diagnosed at the National Institute of Health. He is currently in Cincinnati Children's Hospital trying to recover from a bone marrow transplant.
Conner's spirits are pretty low right now. Chemo made him lose his hair and steroids have bloated him to the point where he will no longer look at photos of himself or in the mirror. He is one in a set of triplets and has a younger sister. He's pretty homesick right now, his kidneys are not functioning as they should and he's just sick of being sick.
To help boost Conner's spirits and give him something to look forward to, as well as something to do, I am trying to get hats sent to him from every state and beyond if possible. You can go to the link posted for more info on how to do this, and hopefully I have included this link correctly! Conner will have a wall map of the U.S. and will be able to mark where the hats come from.
Thanks everyone!

Hats to Conner
Alabama Hat on the way tomorrow, Roll Tide....God Bless him.
Conner: NO MOR HATS!!!
Hi Everyone -
For those of you who took the time to send hats to Conner, the boy who had the bone marrow transplant, THANK YOU!!
Conner's mom has requested no more hats be sent as he now has enough to never have to buy a hat again!
Please continue to support Conner by signing his guest book. It means a lot to him and to his family knowing there are so many who care.
You guys are all great for coming through and taking the time to learn about Conner.
sorry...pot lights or high hats over the mantle...nm

Butterfly!!! (aka Prissy) Thanks for the smile :-)

I had to smile when I read your post. sm
Every time she complains of the itching I ask her about her breathing or if her tongue feels swollen. All mothers tend to think alike, well most of the time, maybe not Lindsay L. mom.
Yes they do. And the man is always portrayed with a big smile on his face and being SM
the stud ready to perform. There is no talk about any bad odor or offending anyone.
I'm glad he made you smile...sm
He makes me smile every time I look at him. Here's another pic just to make your day...lol
Had to share a smile with y'all
 I just told my 8-year-old we were having spaghetti tonight for supper. He loves spaghetti. He asked me if we had any "Papa John cheese" -- LOL -- he means parmesan cheese. Sometimes my kids crack me up!
ER MT that photo rocks!!!
 That is one of the best photos out there...makes me laugh my patootie off everytime!
ER MT - that photo actually scared me
I was up late half awake and that photo popped up! Then I thought, you know that's a lot like me when I do ERs!!! Of course, for me it's because I'm not so smart yet and a bit frazzled. New specialty, just sometimes. Thanks for the giggle!
Photo sharing
I use smugmug. There is a small yearly fee around $40), but I love the way it makes my pictures look and friends and family can order prints directly from my site. Check my page out at sharonwhaley.smugmug.com
These photo's are a hoax
These photos are from a scene in the show "Lost". See link below.
What is sad is that some sicko would do something like this and post it on the internet.
Anyway...here is a link I found that it's a hoax...

Bridal shower atire would probably be fine. Find out if hats are "de riguer" for the occasion.

Did you catch the photo on Fox of her taken out of her estate?
Gosh, she looks like you or me, did not seem like she had time to have her makeup done professionally before her next 15 minutes. Not hot.

Seems it's time for that dreaded photo for my SM
driver's license. . . LOL! Those people have to have a camera that is rigged. Why do I always look like I should be holding the plate under my chin with a number on? The last time I went for a picture four years ago this woman who worked there approached me at the door, smiled and said
"Oh, you can fix that if you want." She pointed to a mirror. Sadly, I had no idea what she meant!! 
does anyone use a photo sharing site,
that they recommend? I used snapfish before, and and i see that Walgreens uses the same program -- but some have said there are better sites to share photos -- but i don't remember which ones they are (that don't require membership, etc). thanx.
Photo restoration - see message
If you have a scanner (if not they can be pretty cheap) you can scan in photos. I'll bet lots of people out there have photos they'd like reproduced for family members. Also I do photo restoration of old photographs (need a program like photoshop). You can make photo collages for people. My grandfather just passed away and he gave us tons of slides he took of us kids when we were little (I'm talking tons (like 1000 or more). I'm scanning them in (getting rid of the red, green, and dirt (they are over 50 years old) and making collages for all my siblings, but am sure with some "creative" advertising on your part you could do this for money.
My cat has mastered my photo-printer. -(sm)-
She loves when it whirrs and clicks as it's starting up. So one day when she walked on it and accidentally started it, she's spent lots of time trying to figure it out. She now has narrowed it down to the 'start' button.
If I WANTED her to start the printer, of course, she would have nothing to do with it. But the fact that I DON'T want her to start it, makes it all the more fun and interesting.
Doesn't Shemar have the most gorgeous smile you've ever seen? nm

I love that site, one of my no-fail smile sites.
Love the picture; I love my kitties.
Name one thing that brings a smile to your face everyday
Or more if you can't decide.
Mine is petting my cat and giving her kisses on her belly and watching her roll around purring really loudly. (okay, so I don't have any kids to give kisses to so this is the next best thing).

Empty photo album and a journal.
The easiet way for me to upload photo here is to use Photobucket.com s.
After you are done uploading your photo, your photo will have a DIRECT LINK in one of the boxes. Copy that link into the Post Image box on MTStars (under the Avatar/Profile ID box).
AFter you post the link, TA-DA, the photo will appear when you post! Very simple. I love Photobucket only to upload pics to the net.
God Bless, graciesmom, here's to quick healing, and a big beautiful smile!!!! :-)....nm

I coach softball and my favorite gift was a sweatshift with photo of the team and all the kids signe
They signed it in some kind of indelible ink which is great because I actually wear it all the time. I also got a plaque that looks just like the shirt, which is nice to have because I'm sure I'll wear out the sweatshirt. I love them and feel proud when I wear the shirt. We were champs of the league and the district and for a couple months after the season we were all kind of local celebrities! I played at a high level myself traveling all over Italy and Japan, but coaching this group was the best experience of my athletic career.
Maybe this is where that one came from...(inside) LOL

chocolate/bannana pie. yeah sounds crazy but is really delicious. i found it at grocery store few years ago and everyone loved it.
take a graham cracker crust, slice banana in round circles and layer on bottom of crust. middle layer mix chocolate pudding and cover on top of banannas. cover with chocolate cool whip although i can't find chocolate cool whip anymore, you could probably mix chocolate syrup with cool whip to produce the same. top cool whip with rounds of banannas for decoration and grated chocolate and/or small squares.

Perhaps next year, you should ignore your ungrateful neighbors. Take those cards (and your kids) to a local nursing home and share them with lonely seniors. I can guarantee they would be greatful, and it would be a great lesson for your kids. Might as well share your kindness and caring with someone who will appreciate it!
Sure, see inside sm
I had very heavy bleeding during periods, would pass lots of clots. Also, when I would stand up, I'd feel a gush coming out. Sorry to be so graphic. I've heard that people have had a lot of pain with them, but I didn't. It was found by my doctor. He asked me if I felt that in my abdomen and I told him I thought I was just fat. My uterus was 22 weeks size.

Sometimes you have to unplug speakers and plug back in in order for your plug-and-play devices to register. You may even have to unplug speakers, restart and then plug in. If that does not work try restarting with speakers plugged in. I have had to do all 3 in the past. You could test them by plugging them in to a walkman or portable CD player. Might try Sound effects manager or sound effects and audio devices under control panel and go through a troubleshooting phase. I have a gateway and mine will only work in the "right out" plug.

The women in my family have used this for years for washing babies as well as our own clothes. My mother used for dishwashing. I am very familiar with its use, sorta like we have always used pressure cookers, some people scared of them, just things we have used over the years. Watch that toothpaste, though!

Too funny. Baby diapers and cut a whole out for the tail. You can get or make an elizabethan collar to put on her neck to keep her from tearing them up. (pic.) http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15227&Ntt=diapers&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1
You can buy the cloth pants that they make for dogs at Petco or your local groomer

Attach with buttons or velcro across top and there is a slot on these for pads or you can use adhesive kind. Can't resist emailing a copy of one of my babies with Sock diapers. I keep my husbands socks if the get a whole in them from his steal toes. Usually in same place so I pull her tail through there. Designer diapers.

It is a personal and universal truth. You find out it is a universal truth when you accept Jesus personally. Thanks! Have a good one!

Posted previously but it apparently disappeared when moved to gab board.
I searched baked hashbrowns...

This site lists a lot of dishes down about half way, ingredients are listed below names so you can scan for cheese.
http://southernfood.about.com/od/hashbrowns/Hash_Brown_Potato_Recipes.htm
Couple more. 2 of these have cream of cheddar soup. Gives good taste without the harsh texture of some cheeses.
