Will work to let other MTs with families have day off.

I come from one of those fighting families.
There have been many, but the defining event would have to be at my father's viewing when his own brother started a fight in front of the open casket. If it were a screenplay, it would have to be a comedy, because the reality of it was too painful to endure. Needless to say, I don't deal with my family unless I have to. I've had too many holidays ruined over the years, and when my children were small, I realized that their holidays would be ruined, as well, if I kept returning to these toxic family gatherings. Now we do things on our own, and life is much nicer. We don't have the Norman Rockwell gatherings of 20 or so people, but that's ok. Maybe some day when I'm a grandmother and great-grandmother, our healthy family will have grown to Norman Rockwell size, and then we'll have a family group that wants to spend time with each other. That is so much better than dreading family gatherings!
Suppose most of our families came from there

Yes, it runs in my families I got it from
my mother. My mother had high blood pressure all her life and never took any medicaments against it. Some people just have high blood pressure and taking medicaments might even do more harm than good. My mother is very healthy and now in her 60s.
I, too, do not take any medicaments, none.
Its so weird, but this is common for these families
with BPD members - when a new person comes along who is actually healthy emotionally, they are always "blamed" for everything. I wish I had more time to share some of this fascinating data, but I have to work...and there are probably those who aren't interested. When you experience these sick games for years, and then actually read the exact same stuff in medical/psychiatric journals, it is just mind blowing! You realize its NOT you and you're not imagining this stuff. Very enlightening. I wish you all the best.
The bikers are the ones protecting the families
because of all these other rude people who decide that a funeral is a place to protest, whatever..They form a human/motorcycle barrier in between the protestors and the ones grieving.
My heart aches for the families
who will shortly be notified that their child/spouse/loved one will not becoming home. Too many senseless killings these days.
I can surely relate! Families can be so --sm
cruel sometimes. I really think that they don't even think about how their actions or lack thereof affect others sometimes, but we sure feel the hurt, don't we? Hugs to you!
Do you know any organizations that help families in need (one-time need) (sm)
these people need help just for one month getting their bills paid - what organizations are there that do this? I know they exist in Florida. I am now in NC and just trying to help these people find out where to go for help. Anyone have any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
How about ideas for siblings and their families? Here's one
I have three siblings, with spouses and children. Not only is it expensive to buy for all of them, but it's hard to know what to get. Last year I went to a craft store and bought cheap baskets on sale. I bought each of them a 2-month subscription to the movies that you get through the mail, NetFlix (can do Blockbuster if you want). I put the gift certificate in the basket along with the big boxes of candy that they sell at the show (.99 cents apiece at Walgreens), a few packets of microwave popcorn, and a 6-pack of their favorite soda. They loved it and everybody enjoyed the movies over the next couple of cold winter months. You can purchase the movie gift certificates on line at their website.
I guess we are one of those boring families, too...sm
We don't fight during the holidays, but then we really don't talk much either. My mom has Alzheimer and my brother just doesn't say much. I try to carry on a conversation, but it is hard to when you are met with silence.
just a liaison between the patient's and families...
and the nursing home, so if they are not addressing your needs, this is an appointed advocate--not employed by the nursing homes--whose job it is to address your concerns.
Our families are important to all of us, but we make it work sm
We fit it all in. Family, food, fun, and a litte work. It is not a really big hardship for most MTs.
Brown/Goldman families at odds now
it has been all over the news- Goldman wants the money, Brown family speaking out saying should not get, I think they consider it blood money. Never would have thunk that 1- huh, seemed so buddy-buddy at 1 time and now on the outs.
Definitely think it runs in families. Both parents, 1 sister
and I all have hypertension. I take 4 different meds with another one for p.r.n. use. My is pretty well controlled most of the time. The highest it got was 230/140.
St. Vincent de Paul helps families in any kind of need

Hope you appreciate them -- the guys' families do care and do help. Hard to believe for some....
I am sure by posting that you care, but some just use and abuse and it's always about the maternal side of the family until they need something again. Congratulations for posting and giving the guy's fanily some credit for a change. We are humans, not just a bank. OMG let the flaming begin!!
Don't be a jerk. Most of us were lucky enough to be born into English speaking families.

Fran is right..Tends to run in families. If you are, dont bother with Synthroid..I went to Armour
thyroid and never looked back. I tried Synthroid for over a year and they could never get my thyroid back in..I struggled with cold intolerance, fatigue, dry skin, and the worse..weight gain..like 30 pounds and then a doctor put me on a more "natural" thyroid which was Armour. I got my energy back, lost weight etc..I would never use Synthroid or any other synthetic again. Be aware that a huge number of doctors dont like prescribing Armour but I insist that it's the only thing that works for me and they do prescribe it..Good luck to you..
Thanks. I guess what I am really asking is when do most families stop taking Summer vacation and
start getting ready for school opening.
My prayers are with you...sm.
God bless you for loving Misha and Sasha so much. I have a Sasha, too. She is almost 14 years old, and her sister from the same mom, Keesha, is also 14 years old. They are getting very feeble and I don't think they'll be here much longer, so I truly understand your loss. May God fill you with many wonderful memories of Sasha and Misha playing together, running, having fun, so that those days when you feel your heart is breaking, you can smile, knowing that you did everything humanly possible to provide for her. I can tell from your post that your animals are your fuzzy children, and God bless you for loving them so much. We have a saying in our household that our "puppies" are God's little angels sent to keep us focused on what is important in life. Your post was a very loving tribute to your angel, Misha, who you will see again. God bless.
Thank you for your prayers.
She only eats Special Kitty (in the pouch) from Wal-Mart. I've been feeding her this for the past two years or so. I stopped giving her the Special Kitty the day I heard about the recall and checked the website but it was too late. She must have eaten the tainted food. We noticed she was drinking more water on Saturday and took her to the vet yesterday. Her BUN is down significantly but her creatinine is still too high. It came down a bit today but not enough. The vet is hoping we can take her home by Friday but that is if she pulls through.
I'm so sorry. You will be in our prayers.

you are in my prayers
If you cannot work and you took the necessary steps to inform them that you cannot, then don't. It is very rude that they did not respond to you. I am so sorry you are in this position. I cannot image having to go through that. I would take the time off and not worry about them. There are other jobs out there and obviously they are not worth working for NOR are they worth putting your life on the line. Take care.
prayers
Wow. It kind of makes you want to wrap your kids in plastic bubble wrap and never let them out of their room, doesn't it? What a tragedy for this family. I will definitely pray for them.
My prayers are with them (nm)

While I do not agree with the Senator's politics, I know how hard this diagnosis must be for him and his family. They are in my prayers.
prayers :(
how very sad
I'm totally confused at what the message is though, you cannot kiss your baby if you have a history of cold sores? I know that the sloughing usually starts when you feel the tingling and stuff before you get one. I dont have them but my boyfriend does, but they only flare up every now and then...
this is very scary and I will be aware some day if or when i have children.
Thanks for sharing and they are in my thoughts and prayers, and so is the poster below :(

I am sending prayers right now. God Bless them.
Ditto... our prayers are with you.. nm

Thanks for the update! Prayers were sent up for you! nm

Sending You Prayers
I'm so sorry that you have to though this again if you did miscarry. My thoughts are prayers are with and your husband.
Prayers for you - I am a Christian and I truly believe (sm)
that she is with God. A person as good as she was certainly does not go for eternity anywhere other than in God's presence. I believe this with my whole heart, and I hope that you can too. Don't even think about the doctors' part in her death. Just think of it as God wanted her home, and so he took her.
Sorry to hear this. My prayers to you. nm

Thank God your son is okay! My prayers for those not so fortunate. nm

Prayers going out to this little one and her family. nm

I think you asked also for prayers. Maybe it SM
went to another board.
prayers and doers
anonymously "helping" won't help. Go help her pack. That is way more compassionate, caring, helpful and supportive than praying for her.
I'm so sorry. Prayers for you and your dear family.

Hey, all of our central FL MTs out there! Prayers for you and hoping sm
ya'll are doing fine! I just heard that some twisters produced winds of more than 300 mph. Unbelievable. Even stronger winds than a cat 5 hurricane.
Lots of people out there need our prayers and supupport. Let us remember them today at all of their devastating loss. May God give them rest and peace today........
Hugs and prayers to you. I know your pain right now and wish
there was something I could say or do to make it better for you. Just know that all of us here are keeping you in our hearts and prayers.
Dont have any secrets, just prayers for you.
how I quit. When my daughter was about 6 we were taking a small trip, and in the weeks prior (and as usual) when we would stop at the store or gas station she would ask for some candy or something. One day I said "you know, if you would stop asking for something every time we stopped, we would have more money for our trip" (and no, I didnt buy her something every time LOL). She thought for a moment and then said, "if you would not buy cigarettes, we would probably have more money too".
She was not a back talker or a smart mouth either, just very sincere and to the point.
Anyway, long story short, I quit cold turkey a couple of weeks later (after our trip).
Been thinking about you. Prayers to you and your family.
!
I absolutely would accept any and all prayers.

Prayers for your sons and all our soldiers! nm

Yes, my prayers are with him and his family too. Just heard
it is a glioma type of brain tumor and stage IV. It is a very aggressive type of brain tumor. Afraid it does not look good, but hopefully he is strong enough to withstand the chemotherapy and radiation and possibly surgery or surgeries.
If receiving anonymous help, prayers,
painting him out to be a monster, talking to parishioner or WHATEVER contributes in any way to get her one more step toward out, then she should try it all. Things are simply not as cut and dried in the world of abuse as you would like to think. You never know what turn of a phrase or sense of inspirational support (even if it is coming from strangers) is going to do the trick, so anybody looking from the outside in should try everything they know. Also, especially with kids involved, this is no time to throw caution to the wind in such a volatile and potentially violent or, God forbid, fatal situation.
My prayers are with you and your son. You obviously have his best interests at heart regardless of
I agree that perhaps your son and/or you should talk to someone. If not a counselor, perhaps your preacher.
Good luck to you. Again, my prayers are with you both.
I got to get back to typing her but need special prayers
my DIL and grandson are in flight from Hawaii to LAX to be with her mother, his grandmother in the last few days of her life. Her name is Pat. She lives in Placentia. She is in the hospital right now but wants to come home when they get here. My son also in HI, scheduled to leave within 10-12 days to Iraq but he is having some medical issues. Please pray they will not be of a serious nature. Please pray, he is thinking his men will think he is faking this. It is just all the stress he is under....Thank you in advance
Thoughts and prayers to all of you from all of us in South Dakota...nm
