This news deeply saddens me. My heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends. Sue

Welcome Dee, Hope all is going well for you at this point. Will be looking for you to post in the near future. We will be here for you. Sue

Love the pics , Tammy!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful memory for your family. Sue

Maryanne, I loved this one... soo unbelievable... sooo sweet. Thanks for sharing. Sue

Oh Tammy, I hope yesterday was a wonderful day for your Dad and your family. So so happy that your family's team won... Sue

Your post brings tears to my eyes and my heart is breaking for you and your family because you will miss your Grandfather's presence, but it sounds like he was remembered in a way he would wanted to be. You and your family will continue to have my prayers. Sue

Derek, I am so very sorry you have lost your Grandfather. May God be with you and your family in the days ahead. Sue

I am so sorry you have lost your dear Mom. Your celebration of her life sounds wonderful . Those words say it all. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers . Know that we will be here if you need us. Sue

Better late than never, I hope.. Happy Birthday Dear, Jackie!!! Love, Sue

Will, You have my heartfelt sympathy. I am just so very sorry you have lost your wonderful wife of 36years. May God be with you as you go through the days ahead. We will be here for you with much caring and understanding. Sue

Will, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sue

Leslie, My heart goes out to you. I so remember "those" days the first year around. No one can know exactly what you feel , but many of us can very well try to imagine, based on our own heartbreaking experiences. I like to think that reliving these days is part of the healing process. Hugs and God Bless, Sue

Sandra, Glad you had it checked out . I too have had blood in urine from bladder infections. My mom has it from kidney stones. There are many reasons and I'm glad that yours is treatable.. Sue

(((Val))), I found the words of your youth pastor to be very cold, calloused and unknowing. I resent people who "don't have a clue" telling others how they should just accept it, get over it and move on. Her reference to her mom being "alive and kicking" was cold. When her mom passes will she say "my mom is no longer alive and kicking" so I'm moving on now?GRRRR Oh Val, this one makes me see red. I'm sorry to get carried away like this , but there is no wonder, in my mind, as to why you found this hard to accept. Furthermore, no two people have the same bonds with their friends and loved ones. No one should stand in judgement of others... I have had similar things said to me and it hurt me. Many of us here do understand. If you are too easily offended then so am I. Sue

Barb, me again. Here's some good information and they describe the pain for adults as worse than childbirth and 10-20 days recovery... yiiiikes no picnic here. Hope it's not that bad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsillectomy

Barb, I would have to agree with Connie B. Find out more about the risks involved in the surgery as an adult.. I , too, have heard that it is rather risky for adults, especially older adults. Gosh, my experience was to have mine out twice . I had them out at 5 years and 8 years and the docs say I still have a little bit.. Think it's my narrow throat which made it hard for them to work. Anyhow, I would certainly research the risks before seriously considering it. Sue

Grateful for all our "family" here. Sue

Katie , you have been and continue to be in my prayers. I do hope today will be a much better day for you. Love, Sue

I love posts in the "GOOD NEWS" forum. Your news sounds great, Bucky. Happy Dancing here... Sue

Oh ((((Grace)))), yes he was there. I feel sure of it. Love, Sue

Welcome to our family, There are many here who have taken the same drugs you are taking . Take time to read the different forums and you will soon learn that there are many people here who might be able to answer any specific questions you have and many here ready to give you support. Glad you found us. Sue

Get Well Soon, Katie!!! Lots of Love and prayers headed your way. Love, Sue

I quit 5 years ago and got all the information and support I needed through whyquit.com... They have a support group listed on there... FreedomFromTobacco.... Please check it out. It's about Cold Turkey Quitting. It may not always be easy , but it is truly as simple as never taking another puff. You can do it. Chantix scares me . There are articles there about the horrible side effects and suicidal tendencies people have with that. Anyhow, I would suggest you go there and read what they have to offer. It sure helped me. Good Luck.. You can do it. Sue
