    Hey there Albear, nice to see you again too. Missed you. I thought I had your e-mail address and would have asked Jaime to keep you up to date, but I guess my brain is getting morphine farts so much latela. I find myself nodding out in my wheelchair and wakening 30 minutes later as if nothing happened. The only think keeping me awake right now is the nurses telling me to wake up and take my meds to sleep.. Yup - here she now.

    I have about 2 hours of online time left on this wonderful Vodaphone Internet Stick. They work pretty good. Just hope I can activate the continued credit without making a mistake.. I used to just breeze by installing stuff like this and setting it up, and now I am shaking just at the thought of making a booboo. Your kitty cat is at Jaime's keeping Larry and Alex company, so are the georgeous angels and fairies The cards are all nicely packed away for safekeeping - Jan and they will stay that way until Jaime tells he story behind those all to Alexander. I am not bragging (NOT), but I know I have the greatest friends in the world who do such super things for me to make me happy. I will PM you my email address so that you can write me if you want - I'd love to hear from you if your plate is not too full.

    Hey Rebby.. when are you going to drop me a line? Hope all is well and arrangements made and that this season of losing loved ones for you is going to taper down a bit and give you a break, I really do dear. Love you whole bunches and want the best for you at the coming season of your saviour's Birthday. You are receiving unconditional love, and I feel that we all are here.. undonditional in that we don't all know each other personally and but we share so much with each other that we trust each other to believe that when we say 'I love you', we all truly mean it without mistrusting those words as we have had to do many times in life when we realize that those words came from mouths that don' t know what truth or loe is. So, believe me, I mean it when I say that I truly feel loved among you all the way.

    Hey, notice that I got my meds.. yup, rattling off at the mouth here - cotton mouth at that. But it feels so good to be able to talk to you all again so much that it just lifts my spirits and you are all helping me do this.

    So, for now, I am going to try and keep eyes open and stay alert for a little while longer.

    I want to order some nice lounging clothes that are not just black or grey. I would love to find a nice nicky outfit in blue, orange or violet, so I have to go SHOPPING! Wow, even that sounds good.

    It's OK to cry a bit Alty, it is part of our lives to have emotions and let them out. And you have your wonderful family around you to share and comfort them with you. We are also here and you know I always will be, love. Just let it out and clear your sinuses when done, it will make you feel much better afterwards, believe me, I know.

    Angels are all around you Stringer and have been known to be photographed at times (my belief). If I believe so, then that is how it is for me. Each of us make that choice and hold on to it as hard as we can. You should do the same and we can all share a wonderful day today, no matter where at - in more ways than one.. Or who comes to join us in our grief over Starby, Sue and many of these who read these posts and get a lift to tolerate and gain some of the strength we all need and deserve. The storm outside is really getting strong now, but I will not get out of the net until it knocks me out. There is almost an hour left so here is where I wish I were alert ad back into the market and do something.

    It's TTFN though, and I will get back with you all later.

    I sure hope so dear. If you don't watch out for this site and keep it clean, I will come and spook all of you. I am looking forward to another thread entitled with good news about relationships from beginning to end. How the chemicals just worked at firsts sight; many things in common without even knowing or talking about them in retrospect; the mutual joys and dislikes; children with morals, all that till the very end. That would be a thread that must reach all around the world to prove that it is possible to be happy even if just for a piece of that pie of life that we take for granted and loose focus on. After reaching that goal, I want to see a continuation of how we all shared this joy and happiness and how we achieved that same goal helping someone else reach it. There are many books out there, good ones, but a book starts with an idea and then action... so let's start our own book of life with others included that reached the same or almost the same goal of joy and let that chain of sharing keep going. OOPS, morphine rush.. but no cotton-mouth yet.

    There was a nice little storm in my area last night, like the beginning of the ones in Georgia and Florida this time of year, so the Germans will have to get used to those seasonal closures of windows, doors, more safety and community assistance to flourish and clean up afterwards. That is what life does to us, encourages to keep going and helping, no matter what - and it will be returned two-fold.

    I still want to see a help section that sends out ''get well soon'' cards for the broken hearted, with painted cards made by a publisher and distributed just as any other greeting card in the world. The people that could open up a little business like this would eventually be able to maintain a living while helping and using better standards. Joke cards we have enough, Birthday cards we have enough, etc, but where are those deep heartwarming get well and glad you are back cards for those who have the misfortune of being hurt and lost trust in. So get those thinking caps on and go out there and not use the same standards phrases I have been reading lately, get innovative and start something new with the way we exchange our advice without judgement.

    OK, off my soap-box now and going to have some fun for a while. Hope you liked the pictures. Alex is growing up so fast and he is so energetic and sweet. His parents are the capsule of love, warmth and emotional security each child on this planet deserves. So, here we have a lot of work to do too. I could go on and on, with children, animals, parents, world hunger; material wealth vs. having enough and being content; all those choices and spelling checkers, etc, but am going to POGO.COM and play a few games to make sure my brain still functions with speed and agility.

    Talk to you all again later.

    Thank you JH, 88, Start, and the rest of you wonderful 'kids' - Momma C will try her best to following their example. You bet cats are in charge, dear! They show us exactly what to do in a situation and not go ga-ga over trivial things. Their attitude is what should pass on to us at any given situation and help us get through. Am I pushing cats? Nahhh.. lol. I just love all animals and the simplicitity of their way to get along with the rest of the world.

    When they purr, they reveal warmth and love and caring. You can see it in their ears, eyes, their slick movements and just general behaviour. Don't you wish you were a cat?

    I keep on thinking of what he's doing and where he is right now in his new home, walking around in the dark and inspecting his territory to ensure all is well, then going on to his place of rest being content and able to relax knowing so. He is not used to being alone but has managed to adjust - which is more that what we two-leggeds can do when left alone all day. I wish that I could be there with him in his 'cave' and watch from there what Alex and his parents do during the day just being a warm family unit and loving it there. Here I am writing off at the mouth, medication taking over, but also glad that I can still stay in contact and share my thoughts as best as I can.

    Will drop back in once I get a dumb printer problem solved. Yuk, if it is not one thing, it is another. Now, it is my head that Larry has to hold up and not the other way around.

    TTFN.

    Oh Alty, Stringer, and Amicon, those Kitties are so cute. Thanks, I needed that. We were not as close this holiday as hoped.. Jaime had surgery two days before on her leg; I had trouble breathing; Dan busy getting things ready to go back to work. I bet he is really really getting ready for work now - after being home for so long. I am glad that they had this time without having to take vacation for it.

    My brother was close to getting killed too - in Afghanistan. Now, they are not allowed to use the civilian contractors and facilities to include toilettes, as they were among the ones who constructed and did the damage this holiday. I certainly hope this trip is over with soon for him and he will be able to look for a new job in Berlin. He's 11 yrs younger than myself and I think he needs a break with a relaxing job. His surgery wound up good - no lymes, and no cancer in his stomach - maybe just bad Afghani food.

    The food here is not that good, but I can't help eating as the meds make me get the munchies. I have gained weight and look healthier, but that is the calm before the storm, as they say. I will send some e-mail pictures, but will not post them on here, except for one or two which remind me so much of MAXINE when looking at them, but in a wheechair.

    My lungs are a little full, so going to get oxygen for a while and then caugh everything up before breakfast. It is a little after 4AM and I do need rest and water out of legs.

    Thank you for this last holiday greating - to incluse the kitties - just what I needed. Hope to hear from you too, rebby, take time and straighten things out, re-arrange your plate and bless you sweets.

    Write me soon - I really miss you all, even if I cannot respond as often as I would like through weakness.

    Love, Hugs, and Thanks right back at you all!

    Hey chery..

    It's a freezing cold November morning here,there's a fog outside that would freeze a brass monkey... the kids are still in bed,but little do they know as soon as I finish posting their getting up... our dog peader (half lab half donkey) has torn opened a bag of rubbish and dragged it all over the garden... im going to need an army to help tidy it up..

    If you here a constant moaning noise is coming from my children,as I think it will echo around the world once they see the mess.

    Hi Chery:)
    I just wanted to say "Hi" I have read and cried through a lot of your posts and am very sorry that I joined AMHD later, but now I am getting a chance to know you:D
    There were too many things that I wanted to quote from you, they all made me REALLY think:) and I think you are a wondrous (maybe not a word) person. You give me hope and strength and a little power and you don't even know me, it's just your words:)
    Thank you!
  • Nov 29, 2009, 08:31 AM
    Chery
    Clough, I love all of you too, really do. Meeting all of you here, being as part of the AMHD Family so quickly by just following things in my heart after reading about issues that I too have had experience personally and while doing my studies per correspondence through my whole life. It worked for me, continuously learning about myself and othes making me happy I was able to help.
    The frienship and support gained here surpasses all other that I am truly at loss for words and then find a smiley to get the message out.

    Just Dahlia, Thank you so much for you expression of support too. It humbles me, really does... to receive the attention of lovely people like you to help me gain strength and continue on this hard way. It is loneley and frustrating at times when I am alone here, reading and responding, but also enlightening to see that I am still cared for and my words accepted.

    I just don't like the medication regimen I am on right now, as it confuses me at times and naturally makes me dizzy, but I try to minimize the need for it and tell them I am OK.. The brain is the one organ that has to be there till the last - don't like a fuzzy Chery at all.

    Right now they have to change the locale of the needle (no bulb yet) due to an infection - but am fighting it - as I usually do. Just glad there is not a room full of people waiting to see me while this has to get done.

    My grandson was here yesterday so it would have been impossible to expose tummy and do nursey type stuff. The poor babe would probably been shocked. He is so brave

    I have decided that the spell-checker is going to the dumpster...

    Rebby, hope all is well with you and yours. Drop me a line when you have a free moment dear - I do love and miss the heck out of you so much. Am sending as much of my strength as possible and I truly am taking your suggestion serious by looking upwards and onwards, so that both sides are covered adequately.

    Am going to start a thread in Comedy to honor another lady who tells it like it is... Going to call it IMPOSTER STRIKES... so look for it soon, maybe tomorrow evening.

    Medicine allowing, I will try and stay online a little longer... right now waiting for a phonecall from my brother, so C.U. later.

    Going to work on the graphics for it now.http://www.postsmile.net/img/29/2971.gif

    So, you are the one who got all the candles.. I didn't find any green apple and have to send Jaime out to get me some more. We can display them, but not burn them here due to oxygen.. the oil is OK too in warm water. The have a lamp here that warms water and you put drops in to make the place smelll nice. The only things I can find right now is apple with cinnammon and I think it is too early for x-mas stuff on display or sale. It is just all a big money-making world out there today which dissapoints and saddens me. Guess we just suck it up and keep on going without saying anything for fear of getting your own butt shot off or knocked around.

    OK, back to working on those graphics. http://www.postsmile.net/img/29/2963.gif

    Hey, firmbeliever, excon, Curlyben;et al. Hope you are having a great day with thoughts of the holidays zapping by quick enough to keep you sane. It seems they get closer and closer each time, just over with Thanksgiving and all they do is change the date until the next year and leave up the decorations - no waste of time here LOL. Convince the breeders to encourage the turkeys too - what fun.

    It is so nice to have you all together again, - let's not lose touch.

    After reading and responding to as much as I have, I hope I have you all covered. It is exciting being able to communicate with all you friends and keep you updated. Otherwise, I would be just bored stiff just looking out windows waiting for meals and further deterioration. This is something you all help prevent me from dwelling about and making it easier. Thanks to you, I still have a life to share, good or bad - it all happens.

    Will keep you further posted. Also the work on my ''WANTED'' comedy poster thread is making it slowly there.

    Love and Hugs,

    Decided not to do a comedy bit, but one that is closer to who and why I really am. It is funny in parts, but also begging for you to stay with me and comfort me to the end. I would do the same for you.. And oh boy, this is one scared old lady..

    So here is the link to the new Thread I started in hopes it will continue as long as possible.
