J.C.

Hello Dick, You had good answers to your questions, so won't add to that part. You are now in a family that will be ready to answer questions, offer a shoulder when needed, even read any ranting you may want to do. Just stay around and you won't feel alone. Jackie

Beautiful news, Happy Birthday to Gavin and a warm welcome for the new addition for next July. Jackie

Kelly, You will be fine, you will miss your Mom but she will be there in spirit, tears of joy, tears of pain are emotions and when a baby is born the joy of the birth may hold pain for those missing in person but not in mind. Take care and congratulations on this new family member. Hugs Jackie

David, so sorry for your loss. Pam was a wonderful person and the peace she had at the end should help you. Deepest sympathy. Jackie

Tuesday and nice weather again, one more year that winter is slow to show up. So Grateful for all the prayers that were said for me. Could say it is serenity now, I'm ready to accept any news good or bad and face life once more. This prayer came to my mind last night I think it could help some people so here it is. I Do Not Ask, O Lord I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be A pleasant road; I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me Aught of its load. For one thing, only Lord, dear Lord, I plead: Lead me aright. Though strength should falter and heart should bleed, Through peace to light. I do not ask, O Lord, that Thou shouldst shed Full radiance here; Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread Without a fear. I do not ask my cross to understand, My way to see; Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand, And follow Thee. Joy is like restless day, but peace divine Like quiet night; Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine, Through peace to light. (Adelaide Anne Procter) Have a good day, I'll have one. Love to all, Jackie

Many times a different chemo takes over and makes a big difference in the treatment. Good luck for your sister. Jackie

Could say Welthy hit it on the head, best advise given, see what is offered as help and make your choice. I did it the cold way, as nothing was ever offered to me and it was only after Mike was gone that I realized that I would pay with my health for doing it the hard way, four years later still paying as my body will never recuperate fully from it. Those eighteen months of sickness for Mike were so full of life, laughter and fast living to kind of make up for the dull moments we may have had in our healthy time that now I see that Mike was getting help from medication while I was burning my reserve. Take care and make a good choice in the help offered and the way will be much easier for all of you. Hugs. Jackie

Why do they stop working after a while???? Those big girls panties sure are a help while the decision about what is next is cooking. Have to tell you about the real big girl panties I wore. My Mom, would be 121 years old and she had a steamer trunk full of the nicest lace underwear and sleepwear that could be found. Those lace panties (knee lenght) lined with *Crepe de Chine* were just what my friend and I needed to wear over our bathing suits instead of shorts.........Mom was proud of all she had kept and gave us permission to use them. 1950 here we come......year of the transparent blouses over one piece bathing suit and those elegant pants/panties.......reaching the knees. I still can see people stopping walking to have a look at the new fad.....but the nicest happening of the day was an older man that wanted a picture of us wearing our best, we did not know that he was a photographer from a big store in Montreal and two days later our picture was in the 'News papers' under the Memorabilia wear with the story about the fancy pants. Only good things could happen after wearing them, so Snowflake was so right when she used that expression, only good happenings for you will come after wearing your ''Magical Big girl panties'' Love Jackie

Always had a healthy diet except lately when I had to use prepared meals. Jackie

Monday start of the week, weather beautiful but cold, grateful for the weather and the sound of children playing in the school yard near where I live....... Have a good week. Jackie

We care Christine. People we love stays alive as long as we think of them. Jackie

Memorial Day, I'm grateful to all men and women that through the years and centuries kept North America safe. My brother Maurice, died April 7th 1945. Jackie

I'm safe from the smell of MOTHBALL since I moved....... still wonder why people use them their for clothes. Jackie

Saturday, start of the week end, a cold one here, but should get a bit warmer next week. Grateful that even if I did not do much this week I can rest today. Have a good week end. Jackie

Please accept my deepest sympathy. We are here for you. Jackie

Prayers always there each day for all the members of the forum. Now prayers for fast recovery and some update. Jackie

Already some posts for November 9th under November 8th so all fine. Friday, the day students and workers are waiting for. You got it it is here. Grateful that the hospital made ANOTHER ERROR........ not new with me. The peridural infiltration is not under anesthesia so will get one when everybody can see straight and think straight. Maybe months or next year but will see that I get what I need.....got the referral slip already just need an appointment.......... Grateful that I stay sane with the mess of the health system in Quebec. Always think of Fay when an error is made. Grateful that Ry is posting, we are here for you as you were here for us. Grateful that school is going fine with Nova and that Geri has help and feeling better. Grateful for the US health service.......wish we had the same. Have a nice week end. Jackie

Yes, I read four or five books a week. Yes, I flew a plane when the pilot got sick. No, I'm 5' tall and my hair is 1/4 inch long but still jet black, waiting till it gets grey to let it grow. Jackie

Teri, All those anniversaries and festivities have to be lived a few times before we can adjust to be one instead of a couple. Just take good care of yourself. Jackie

Midge, So sorry for your loss. My deepest synpathy. Hugs Jackie

Debi, No to three animals Randy you are not 6'5'' I flew a Cessna 1955 when the pilot, my friend passed out. In those day could fly a small plane as I was training for my license, but could not drive a car. My mother changed all that, she gave me a car and driving lessons, my brother was a pilot in WWII and she did not want to lose me like she lost him in a crash. Jackie

The snow storm passed us by.......so grateful about it. Ready to face the cold but not the snow. Treatment refused at the hospital no anesthesia for me unless it is for an operation, test abnormal. Next go with physiotherapy treatments, will see which (nearly wrote witch) doctor will be willing to give the needed prescription for it. Have a good day. Jackie

Sorry Aaron, my post came out wrong. Wishing the WBR does the trick and sending prayers that all goes well. Jackie

Aaron, WBR with a lot of prayers for me. Jackie
