lol.. Bruce, you need to lighten up a bit! LOL

She writes: Dear Grand-daughter, The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a Honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did, what an uplifting experience that followed. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, ' For the love of God! ' ' Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!! A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved at all my brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!! Will write again soon, Love, Grandma

Hi Haley.. Of Course you can change your mind! But the Md's have to agree to treat, thats where the problem lies. Dad did hospice and actually had improved enough for the doc to reconsider ,but after futher review we kept things the way they were. (((hugs))) Shelli

Glad you are on the mend Sharon! Thoughts and prayers coming your way! (((Sharon))) Shelli

Dads appointments were only about a 10 minute drive away.. In the beginng, we would go with him and stay for the duration, but once it became routine, he would just go him self.. I would try to go with him to the Dr part of the visit, but would usually leave once he was set up with the chemo.. he usually fell asleep anyways. Towards the end, I would pick him up and take him and my Mom would be done with work by the time he was done with chemo and she would pick him up. Sometimes he would have to travel up to Appleton which was about 20 miles away,as the MD also had a clinic there and if he was on vacation Dad would have to see one of the other Dr.s

Funny.. 2 of those are actual companies in my area!!! lol!!!

yes... but I am flying if I go! But we are close and so are some others.. we should plan a get together in Madison.. I think that is about the same distance for you as it is for me and there are others who live here in WI that are near there too!

HI, I am possibly coming down to Gulfport MS area to visit a friend and was wondering if anyone lived that way too and would like to meet? If I go, it would be Oct 10th-12th. This is not a for sure thing yet, but I will let you know when I decide. Shelli

Judy.. Anyway one can get the word out it great!!! Good Luck!!! Shelli

I can relate as well... My Dad passed in April at the age of 57.. I am the oldest of 3 and i am 34.. My daughter is 5 and the oldest of the grandkids and will probably barely remember himon her own.. My son is only 1 (he is named after dad) and was just getting a connection going with "umpa" when he passed. Dad was an active person.. always on the go.. even when he was not feeling well.. he would lie, just to please others and not wanting to be a burden. Most days I cope ok.. other days I am sad, but have to function for the kids. I miss him soooooo much some days... he was my go to guy!.. he always had the answers... Anyways... YES i get it. Too Young.....

oh,man....

NO SPEAKAH DE ENGLISH > > A bus stops and 2 Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following: 'Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time.' 'You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine,' retorted the lady indignantly. 'In this country . . We don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives' 'Hey, coola down lady,' said the man. 'Who talkin' abouta sex? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell ' Mississippi'.'
