Oh Kim I know lots abut how you must feel. I hope you can get back to enjoying things like you used to do before. It is important. Lately I have been indulging in the saddness. I don;t recommend it. So I am going to hurry up with my chores and get out in the sun. i want to do some dancing and visiting with nice folks. Tomorrow my son marches in his first parade. Time marches on.....but I am just a few days past the 2 month marker and I brick by brick the fascade of holding it together is falling. I cry lots ...in showers and in the car. In front of the computer as I write to all of you. WHen I read the stories of fear and desperation. (Happy tears when someone has a good day and good scans and new babies). I hate it when a collegue mentions that they only just heard about my loss and are so sorry. I know they mean well but the mortar has been loosened and I am vunerable to another tremor of saddness. I have relatives i am avoiding because i know I will just cry and cry at the sound of their voice. I just hear their hurt and mine screams in recognition. This hurts and it hurts differently than when it happened. But it is hurt. I will never be the same.

Oh Jorja! I am so very sorry to hear this news. Please post to let us know how you are doing. Please know that I care very much about you and what you are going through. Eppie

Tough Love vs. Spanking ~(a psychological conundrum) Most of America's populace think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of "those moments." One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk.! They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique. Sincerely, Eppie http://forum.ableminds.com/go?233@450.V ... =.893b2814

(Sydney Morning Herald) - A PATIENT'S flatulence has been blamed for bringing his hemorrhoid operation to a fiery end. The man suffered minor burns in a brief but dramatic operating theatre fire. The patient was at the Southern Cross Hospital in Invercargill, New Zealand, to have hemorrhoids removed when the accident happened. A hospital source said there was a sort of flash fire. The hospital confirmed a fire did occur, and has ordered an investigation.
