  1. When I grew up in Texas, we had pecan trees and we would fill big grocery sacks with them, and my mother would make those delicious cakes, brownies, cookies, fudge and divinity with them. Somewhere I have a picture of David when he was about 4, standing under one of those pecan trees. Anyway, I loved this story! I can see them all now, helping the new grandchldren gather pecans.

  2. Yikes, Fay! I didn't know that was even possible... I mean, you are obviously the type to DO the impossible, but this isn't what anyone had in mind! Seriously, I hope things are better for you very, very soon. Am saying a prayer for it to be so!

  3. I wanted to let you know the following, in case anyone is interested in holiday gift (or other) purchases that will help LCSC:

    Somehow I have ended up with a side business as an Arbonne consultant (something just fun and different from the ways I make my living!), and I’ve pledged to donate all my Arbonne profits for 2005 to LCSC. This isn’t a commercial, so I won’t tout the products there – You can visit the website if you’re interested. They include skin care, aromatherapy, and nutritional supplements – all botanically-based, hypoallergenic, etc.. http://www.seebecky.myarbonne.com/

    Full disclosure: Arbonne consultants are paid a percentage of each item sold, as well as override checks, depending on sales volume. For 2005 (my start-up year), 100% of BOTH these amounts will be donated to LCSC… whether the customer is from LCSC or not, but I thought I’d let you all know, in case you want to bump that dollar figure up!

    If you’re placing an order online, you’ll need my consultant ID# --15355015. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email or PM me.

    Happy shopping,

  4. Good answer, Katie! :P

    I'd have to think about this, but off the top of my head, I'd say Jimmy Stewart (in his younger days), James Taylor, and Matthew McConnaughy. :wink: It could change if I think about it any longer... which I will not do. 8) Better to think about what I've got, which will do quite nicely, thank you!

  5. Dang it, Connie... I just typed out a message and was so upset that I guess I deleted it by mistake. Let me try this again!

    I just don't know what to say... except maybe @#$%^&*!!! Or *&^%$#@!!! Nothing else seems to fit.

    What I'm wondering, though, is if maybe the problem is just that these doctors have never seen a heart as BIG as yours is, just normally?! Big enough to fit all that passion and caring in... It IS pretty big, you know. Tumor schoomer, I'm hoping they just realize it's naturally the biggest heart they've ever seen, and whatever problem you're facing now will be easily remedied so you can head on back out west to enjoy retirement land with your hubbie... after a quick visit to the grandkids while you're in Minnesota.

    Seriously, my prayers are with you now and will be on that plane to Mayo with you, too. I'm lighting a candle (one that is sweet and smells good!) for you right now and saying a prayer.

  6. Donna, I'm sorry that we have something in common -- the loss of our wonderful brothers. I'm not on the boards very often now, so I don't "know" you, but I wanted to let you know there's another sister out here (several of us, in fact) who care about you.

    I agree that counseling would be a good thing. (Think about it -- How could it hurt?) And yes, you might need some medication to get you through the next few weeks, at least. Been there, done that, and still going for counseling to work through the grief, anger, constant sadness, and more. I'm glad you're here and can get support from people who understand, and I hope you'll seek some "in-person" support, too.

    I wish I could say it all gets better soon, but honestly I think we just learn coping strategies, and in time hopefully the good memories outweigh the bad. It sounds like your brother Mark, like my brother David, was a person people loved very much and learned a lot from and will never forget. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and I hope you will get some professional help, because I think at times like this, we really need it. It's just too much to handle without all the help we can get.

    Hugs to you,

    BeckyCW

  7. Yes, (((Peggy))) - Let's have hugs all around. Some days are that way... Wish I knew what to say to make you feel better. You are a loving, caring person, and you should have hugs lined up at your door! So many that you have to start turning them away...

  8. Well, except for the flute man, it sounds like a great weekend! (I'm trying to imagine the torture... but I'm not sure it compares with the Highway to Hell experience!)

    I'm really glad it went so well. Thanks for all that hard work - and I'm glad you all got a lot of laughs out of the weekend, too! Debi, I think there are a lot of poeple who won't ever forget you!

  10. Donna, I'm so sorry. As you know, there are several of us sisters here who have lost beloved brothers, and we are here for you if there's anything we can do. I'm glad your brother is no longer in pain, but so very, very sorry for your loss.

  11. Kitchen smitchen... FAY needs a kitchen! :evil: Fay, I hope things are moving in the right direction there, to get you one soon. Curses on that contractor! May he have the worst Thanksgiving ever. :twisted: (Actually, I hope he has a horrible case of remorsitis and figures out a way to make amends and do the right thing!)

  12. Andrea, it was SO nice to meet you and your mom and Brian this morning! But I'm kicking myself -- I forgot to tell your mom Happy Anniversary! She really does look MAH-velous, and as happy as her picture on your posts. You two really do look a lot alike - both beautiful.

    It's hard to believe all she's gone through, and I would never have known from just meeting her today. She obviously came by her "lioness" moniker honestly.

    I hope the next two years are full of just as much excitement, but all the POSITIVE kind from now on. Starting with a beautiful baby/grandbaby to keep you all busy!

  13. Karen, I heard your news this morning from Nancy at the event in Pasadena. Sure wish your news was "no news!" We really missed getting to meet you today, too.

    I'm lighting a candle right now and saying a prayer for this to be scar tissue or something you can be easily rid of!

    There, the candle is burning brightly. And it has a calming lavendar scent, the better to soothe frayed nerves... I think this candle also has healing properties, because it comes with so many people's best wishes and prayers for you.

    Praying for you,

  14. Addie, I'm glad to see the Additude is not even cracked, let alone broken! :D Also glad that basketball has gone where it's supposed to go. :shock: AND I'm very thankful that the P.T.A. mystery was cleared up by the time I read this. A person could go nuts trying to think of all the possibilities! :?

    Thinking of you and praying you're feeling better by the hour. Meanwhile, since you're in there, keep giving those hospital workers something to talk about! :wink:
