We're doing okay. Finally heard from my brother.

My brother called today. I've been waiting to hear from him for a couple of weeks because his MIL has been dying of liver cancer. He was calling to say she passed away today. They are all so sad, and I hurt very badly for them. But God answered so many prayers. Both nephews in air forc arrived(one from Germany)in time to see her. His wife and her sister both were there with her the last time she was lucid. They were there when she passed away, too. Even the accommodations they found to stay in (up in the boonies of Wisconsin where they expected to find only hunting cabins) was a miracle. Her suffering is over now. Can feel their pain all the more after just losing my faithful dog, Misha.
I am having a terrible time trying to work and concentrate. Will have to make up on my day off. But DH was off and took Sasha out for a trip to dog park, trail walk, pet store. He stopped for ice cream and they offered Sasha free doggy ice cream, so a very good day for her.
My in-laws called today and my FIL sounded good. We wore him out on Christmas eve with all the festivities, so I was glad he sounded stronger again.
Thanks for asking.

I can honestly say that my brother has finally
gotten his act together, well for the most part. He is still a lousy father but in just the past 2 weeks he has been making an effort. I hadn't thought about not having to buy a casket. The last funeral I went to the lady was quite elderly and lived with just her dog. The dog had been quite ill for some time and it was almost like they were just hanging on for each other. After she died they had the dog put to sleep and his ashes were buried with her.
Glad you're finally going to get ...sm
resolution. Remember if they try to hand you a check don't take it.... take CASH only!
wow? You're a whole lot nicer than I am. He finally got the hint when I walked right past sm
him and didn't glance his way once. I'm so bad, but who in the world wants to be intimate after typing on colonoscopies where a patient was not properly prepped?! OR on a patient whose genitalia is basically inside out and she's having every ectomy, otomy, and repair known to mankind?
Haven't you heard? We're in a recession and/or depression?
so, why would there be a raise in benefits if there is no inflation?
I have a great brother like that too! I love my Big Brother!
Enjoy the love!
I have an older brother and younger brother
and I was a terrible handful, especially during high school compared to my brothers.
I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.
But finally came around
I've decided I didn't like having my son be in "special" classes because I couldn't believe that I would have a child who would not do well in school. Selfish, stuck-up, I know. I "let" him be put in speech therapy, and they put him in a special class for learning how to cut with scissors. Eyes rolling here. Dealt with the same school for 5 years and frankly he wasn't learning squat. This year didn't start off any better so we moved and I put him in a new school. He is doing wonderful! They are actually forcing him to challenge himself and do work. I don't care what they call the classes. They are helping him get to the level he needs to be for him, not for any district statistic. He's a much happier kid now that he isn't stressed about being able to participate in school.
Finally!!!!
which dog finally got from Ute and joe.

I'm finally over that flu and then
the cold after that. Zinc tablets did help the cold; it was only bad about 2 days. Zinc didn't seem to help the flu at all, and by the time I figured out it was probably one of the flu strains it was too late for Tamiflu, but it had progressed to bronchitis so I was put on Keflex as well as an inhaler. The inhaler works, but can cause insomnia and crankiness.
I finally saw it today ...
I was off today. First I watched it when DH left the house to run errands and I was supposed to be showering. Then I watched it again with DH tonight, never telling him I'd already seen it because he'd be disappointed that I already knew what was going on! But I still misunderstood a line between Juliet and Hurley. I thought Hurley said he REMEMBERED Juliet from the dock, when the hoods were put over their heads and they got shocked, and then she said it was her day off, like her day off from working as a doctor, so she joined in the fun of shocking the prisoners! Which I thought was wicked humor. But DH said Hurley said he DIDN'T remember her from the dock. I would have thought she was there, but maybe not.
Anyway, what proof does Juliet have that her sister's cancer actually came back? I don't remember Ben proving that, except with paperwork, which could have been faked. And why were we looking at a heart rhythm strip to see if her brain cancer had returned? Wha? And the way I was reading Juliet when she was with Ben, his manipulation of her actions didn't mean she was back on his side or necessarily going to do all of his bidding, even if it she might appear to be doing what he wanted. After all, she was alone now either way, and seems like she needed to join up with the group for herself. So when she said to Jack she was in it alone already, I think she could have meant from Ben, too. She's just trying to survive and find a way back, and this group wants to get back as bad as she does.
But I'm not addicted to this show or anything ...
yea, yahoo, finally....lol...nm

lol, finally something for us that is the equivalent to
California bleached blondes with big boobs?
Keep looking!
lol
Finally somebody with my problem. (sm)
I alternate between Suave clarifying and Wella Regulate shampoo that is probably only sold at certain salons or on line. It cleans and treats your scalp without damaging your hair. However, I still have problems if I skip a day. My hair guy says perspiration is damaging to hair, and I'd never heard that before, but what every condition I have MUST be shampooed every day, which really sucks at 45 years of age.

Cute cat! I finally got a pic of my other cat who was MIA in the last pic!
Here is our middle boy, Bailey. He was MIA in the last pic, and he is the one who gets into the most trouble, but is also one of the most affectionate ones! I think he may be bipolar LOL!
Finally got rid of one after several months
Had to buy a cage trap online and bait it. Eventually got lucky and put something in there it was in the mood to eat, and it didn't manage to spring the trap that time. BF took it for a ride and released it somewhere far away.
Now there's a possum looking to get in....maybe I need to get a dog, my house seems to attract critters.
Yup! I have finally realized it! SM
It's funny because she will always call or instant message my husband or I whenever she needs something! Just a few weeks ago, out of the blue she called and asked if my husband could take her to Home Depot to get some materials because they wouldn't fit in her car and we have a big mini van with a roof rack. I told him not to do it because she is just using us! It's so annoying!
The same thing happened to us when we got our new plasma TV last year! She came over and saw it and said, "Oh I heard those things don't last too long." She always has some sort of rude comment whenever she is jealous! I'm so done with her!
Also, she wanted me to try to get her son's girlfriend a job in transcription. She thought she could do it just because she could "type really fast." I told her that there was no way she would be able to do it if she doesn't have the proper training to learn all of the medical terminology, drug names, etc. Her response was, "Oh, she doesn't need that. She can type as fast as you!" I guess she really is just a jealous, disrespectful person! The sad thing is, she is much older than me! I'm 26 and she is in her 40s! Amazing!
I finally figured out how to add a pic...
I love everyones pics of their pets, so here's my girl Sara sleeping with my son. She is 7 years old and we rescued her from the pound when she was 5 months.
Maybe not out of the blue. Maybe just finally had

I thought they were finally
going out of style?
My boy is FINALLY coming around . . .
The last year or so he has been quite obnoxious and I was thinking what happened to my compassionate young man? Now he is 12-1/2 years old and the smart-alec is disappearing, or at least he doesn't rear his ugly head much these days. It's just so different with boys that I am not sure how to handle it. I could help my daughter, because I knew what she went through, but my boy . . . that's a different story!!! He has been kinder, his voice has dropped, he is breaking out, oh yea, hormones are kicking in. I think boys don't get emotional like girls though, they get mouthy and aggressive. There's your difference. IMO
Well he finally left....sm
He asked when my husband would be home and I said tonight and he left. He is staying somewhere else. He is getting an apartment next week 30 miles away from here he said so I am glad. I hate to say it but I am tired of babysitting. I got to where when he comes and won't leave I just stay in my office.
Finally.............thank you!! Gut instinct!!

Yah-hoo! Banner Day for me, finally!.
I thought I was going to receive my first social security check this Friday but thinking I probably got the numbers wrong for direct deposit, I called social security yesterday and the guy said I would be getting my check on the 22nd. I am pessimistic and thought it would not be there but blow up the balloons, shoot off the fireworks, it is here this morning!!! I am off today so planning to put a chunk of that first check towards me and my vacations for this summer. I have now worked a total of 48 years now and counting. I am just a happy lady this morning.
Yes, I finally went to the ophthalmologist
It is drusen... not good news... will lose central vision sooner or later... Ask your doctor to check this out.. They have to keep watch on it through regular check ups..There are no signs or symptoms, except found on eye exam, and there is no cure. Please look into it. Good luck to you!
You're not 'low-class', you're FUNNY, & a good writer!
Which is often the case then someone is the first to cast stones!
Today our youngest finally got her first car
Today our youngest finally got her first car. DH and I bought it for her a few months ago and have been slowly fixing it up in anticipation of her getting her license. So today we finally gave it to her. Hubby went and got it insured and titled before he left for the week. He stopped in at the bank to tell me he'd gotten it all taken care of, and mentioned he was going to take the extra set of keys with him so they'd be safe. I said "No, you know she's going to lock the keys IN her car and need us to rescue her! Please leave them home where I can find them."
So he did.
A couple hours ago DD called "Mom, is there another set of keys for my car?"
"Yes, why?"
"I locked my set in the car and I'm stranded... please help me!"
How did I know?
Sold the property, finally
Well, I guess the man was wrong for wanting me to accept the $110,000. I have sold the property today for $140,000. That is a chunk more than I can now think of ways to spend- just kidding, planning on putting new flooring in, paying off most of the home where I live and paying my bills off. Hooray!!
Finally, it seems to go as "we" the general
I think Lakesha or Jordin, in any order will be next 2, and Blake and Melinda final 2. I like them all, so I dont care who wins.
I'm soo glad you finally got what you had been seeking!
congratulations! Perserverance pays off sometimes! Good for you. They were probably hoping you would give up and write it off, but you won this one! yaaeee~sleep well tonight!
Yeah, finally had a colonoscopy.
That was after working for a boss who was so nuts she told employees that when she and the other supervisor walked into the room where they were busy scheduling patients on the phone, they were expected to whirl around in their chairs and face the supervisors in case they wanted to say something to the room. We were all pretty sick trying to work with that wacko. But the colonoscopy showed my colon was anatomically so twisted he couldn't get past the sigmoid anyway, so it's always going to be something to stay on top of. Don't need a stressful job on top of that.
Time to finally put the Sox to rest...
and move on the World Series. GO TRIBE!
You finally cured my overeating! LOL! NM

He is probably happy to finally have a *home*. NM

Finally pictures of Bear available.
Introducing Bear - our new black spitz mystery dog (possibly chow mix, Belgian mix, or my favorite, Swedish Lapphund!).
First of all, I agree that anybody who finally admits they
are an alcoholic has a HUGE problem by that time. I don't, however, agree that alcoholism is a disease. The problems that alcohol causes in the body are diseases. The consumption of the alcohol is by no means a disease. It is that person's choice when they pick up that first drink. None of us knows whether or not we will become addicted or not. It is a chance you take when you pick up the first drink. I'll probably get flamed for this, but alcoholism, in my opinion is a problem of choice, not a disease.
I am glad that you have given up the alcohol because I know first-hand what it does to a family and it's not a pretty sight. Please, just take all precautions to stay away from the stuff, no matter what it takes. Thank you for getting the help that you needed to overcome your addiction.
Well, he finally stopped when he became hungry enough. sm
But I read all of your responses and I thank you. Of course, now he's coming up to me all kinds of sweet and asking me for bananas, cookies, Goldfish crackers (his favorite).
Hey, at least he isn't eating pancakes...
So they will finally deliver your meds
on Monday but the transcription equipment they have for you has to wait until the 2nd? How messed up is that, you would think they would do it all in 1 trip. Geesh.
I finally found it. Here is a link:

I'm voting for Roger because Mark is quite skinny enough now. Losing more would not be healthy, and he seems to be physically and emotionally worn out.
Justice is served finally.

I am so hoping something finally brings this
case to an end, and those who loved her can somehow go on. I cannot believe that Casey Anthony continues to rant on and on with the same stores and act so concerned, saying all she cares about is Caylee. Dear God, help the parents when they get the final news if this is Caylee. I believe to her dying day Casey will never admit any wrong doing. Everything she has said from the beginning has been a lie. If my dog, literally, were missing I would be a mess and unable to work. Her child was supposedly taken from her and she is out shopping and partying and draping her naked body in the American flag. She makes me ill.
I did until my family finally agreed to get off the
That got rid of the guilt, and made my lack of money seem like less of an issue. Gave up XMas cards, too, except for a few notes to a few special friends & family that I never get to otherwise see or communicate with. Although I'm glad when I don't have to be bombarded with all that worn-out music every time I go to the grocery store, other than that I don't have to hold my breath until the holidays are over. Still, I think the best day is Jan. 2nd, when life finally gets back to some semblance of normal. Until then, I just enjoy the weather, and even though I can't afford to heat it very often, & sometimes the cupboards are bare for a few days until payday, I still consider myself luckier than some others because at least I have a roof over my head, good friends (even if they live a long way away), my health (so far), a PC, and a working TV set. And I try to hold some hope that either the MT business will turn around someday or else there's a more decent job waiting out there somewhere that I just havent found yet.
Glad someone is finally noticing!
Horrible experiences with "bothering" people who are supposed to be "working" but on the phone with personal calls, giving wrong info at doc's offices, etc. Now I get names, ask questions, "Where did you go to school?" You would be surprised! I do notice now in retail, people are pulling you in with service. Too late, I am keeping a journal after so much rudeness, I am sorry to say most docs don't get involved as long as the work gets done. I wish they would install nanny cams, they have a lot to learn about their staff. RUDE!
Paula finally came clean
I saw on the Today show today that Paula FINALLY admitted that she was addicted to pain pills and is now clean. Duh, like we didn't know something was up even when she denied it. She does seem better this year although still annoying.
Okay - finally a grey's fan... theories:
Okay, what about Izzy's embryos - you know something has to come up with that! And I read on their website chat board that Meredith and Derek are supposed to get married on the 14th so maybe they will get married before the end of the show. I agree on Arizona - yuck! Of course, Callie turning bi to begin with was really kinda gross! As far as Mark and "little Grey" - I think they are totally cute but i'm wondering if she's pregnant since a couple of episodes back she was eating ALL the time (said it was stress but it made me wonder). Ahh - gotta love them "pseudo" hospitals!
Finally - a voice of reason in the wilderness!
and please, OP - GET OVER IT - he WAS just being nice!
Glad to hear you finally got your money. Please also...sm
post a message on Clark Howard's website under Bad Customer Service as well as file a negative report against them with the Better Business Bureau if they're a member with them. The latter rarely does anything but at least you can file a complaint and let them know that these folks were scoundrels.
Finally made it to Target. Got Season 2 & 3. They were out of 1.
I'll get it next time.
Finally had to retire my flip flops
We had the first significant snowfall (3-4") of the season overnight, this morning. Time to stop the denial and get it through my head that winter is here. I paid tribute to my flip flops on my blog. They will be missed.
Children in Texas finally reunited
I was pleased to hear the children from the Texas ranch reuinited with their parents. I could not figure out how the state could come in and remove the children without solid evidence of abuse. They said they received an anonymous call from some girl who claimed she was an under aged bride? However through the whole episode never once did this so called girl come forward. I believe this was all a smoke screen so they could go in and disrupt this religious group. They were not doing anything wrong. They were living in the ways they believe is correct, just like any other baptist, catholic, or any other religion lives. If it has to do with taxes, health care or whatever that should be settled in court, not yank their children away from them. I have no doubts that if it was a baptist or one of their religious groups that they belong to none of this would have happened. I am just pleased the children are finally reunited with their parents and it sounds like they are reaching some agreements to make sure the children will be safe "if" there is anything harmful going on. Makes me even more glad I don't have children knowing that they can just be "ripped" away from me without a legal reason, but that's just me.
