I think I got what you mean now. When I sent them via email, there were only boxes without images... that's a problem I have with Yahoo. I always have to 'attach' them and not paste them into the text. So, from now on, I'll forward and you'll have to scroll way down to see anything, but it will be there, or attach them for you to open them that way. Sorry I didn't understand you the first time, love...

I get brain-farts now and then at my age.. need some rest and maybe time off from working on the computer for a while, now that I have a few important things working and can relax. Give me a few days and I'll be my old self again.

LUB U...

You look like such a lady! I don't think I ever did. LOL

Jamie and Alex'x sweet little lips look so much alike. How precious. Just want to hug them both. I have been going through some photos and it just warms the heart, doesn't it and to see the similarities between our children and theirs. I didn't look like anyone in my family and thought I was adopted for years. Then my son stands in my mother's living room at around age 9, holding a photo of mother's dad and they could have been twins, well, brothers maybe. It was good for me to see that.

Alex has matured so much since the last photo I saw of him. OH goodness, just want to hug him.

Thanks for noticing the 'mouth' trait. It's from my side of the family (my cousin also has those lips - and so do her kids) and mine was like that too until I had my stroke. Now one side hangs down a bit. But I too had the full smoocher's lips then just like JC and her son. Just goes to show that those genes of mine are pretty strong and will get passed on through my grandson - well maybe - if he does not choose an 'alternate' lifestyle. But even if he does, he is still loved forever and ever, no matter what.

Just the smile and sparkles in his eyes when he sees me, absolutely make me melt. I'm in love! I can't wait until our next phone call tomorrow evening, it's almost a ritual now. I can hear his dad in the background just enjoying the conversation his son is so seriously having. Jaime told me that after dinner, Alex always looks toward the phone cradle to see if it is there, as if he knows it's about that time...

So even though I had a bit of stress these past days, there was always a bright time to look forward to - and then coming here to share makes it even better.

OK, for those of you who did not see Stringer and Marta's picture, I will post it so that you can see the similarity he and my 'fella' in Greece have.. The picture is from a scanner, so I could not make it bigger and clearer, but you can see that the guys almost look alike...

Oh my goodness! They could be brother's! I am so glad to finally see Marta and Stringer's photo! It is so nice to have a picture in your mind when visiting with others. WOW! Can't believe the similarities! Marta is a pretty girl. She looks like I sort of had her pictured in my mind from reading earlier posts from Stringer. Precious couple.

So Chery... you say the guy in the photo and you are still friends! Sparks?? :p

Couldn't help but ask. :o Love and Hugs to you!

starbuck8 · Nov 4, 2008, 03:05 PM

I've seen the pic... but yep!. the Sheriff is one lucky guy! He does bare a resemblance to your guy Cher! I love the background of Stringy's pic. I would LOVE to go there with a pair of clippers and go to work on a great big arrangement! There is nothing I love more that going searching for pretty... sometimes odd... things to make my arrangements with. :)

Yes we are. When my husband and I lived in Georgia, he had to go to a Dermatologist Convention in Harris Neck, so he invited us for dinner there. My husband at that time, was so jealous that he beat me when we got home. Even though he acted normal during dinner.
We mailed each other a while after my divorce, but he married a girl that looked just like me two years after I married. He has a Dermatology Practice and specializes in Hair Transplants in Albeq. New Mexico - so no sparks there, but still friendship.
The other guy who took me for me instead of a Barbie is a Pulmonary Disease Specialist in Long Beach, Calif now. When I was dating them, they were in the US Army as doctors in the hospital I worked in.

Some of the best clinicians throughout the U.S. stem from service in the Military - take it from me - I worked with them and know how they think. While serving in the military, they did not think money as they worked for a monthly salary - and really cared for their patients. If you've ever seen MASH, then you can envision just a bit of what I'm talking about.. and now with the war going on - these guys are ready and willing to do their best - and they honestly do. And the hospital I worked in is the one who gets all war patients first before they even get sent to the U.S. the so-called Flagship.

I met some 'reserve' docs who came to help during the first Irak war, and they acted like it was hurting them because their private practice was not bringing anything in... and thought they were better - too bad. Wars seem to bring out the best and the worst in some people.

Yup, your Momma C has been to a lot of places and seen a lot of things during her life. I'm not done yet either...

Unknown008 · Nov 4, 2008, 11:56 PM

Aww, so lovely both Jaimes and Alex. Yup, you're right Rebbie, same lips! Lol

Momma C, I think I missed the post where you said you had an attack. I'm sorry for that. However, it surprised me that my grandpa also had an attack and has half the body 'paralyzed'. I know how it is.

I've heard that some people manage to get over that handicap and use both sides of their body. Did you manage too? Sorry if that seems a rather intimate question, and no need to reply to my question if you don't want to.

Yes dear, I had a stroke and was in hospital for many, many months before my grandson was born and after that - glad that I managed to win that battle to be able to be with him. Jaime answered my mail for me a few times then. I recovered from that, have full use of limbs and all, but the muscle in my face never did completely regenerate. It took a lot of will-power and I admit, I did fall into a bit of depression during this time, but I'm OK as far as that illness is concerned. Now, my other ones just have a party at my expense some times, but I am used to that too. Life goes on - one way or the other - and I am still a fighter. Plus, I also have all of your best wishes and support here on AMHD and I do believe that it works.

Going over to the castle now for a bit to see how the court case is going, and then get some rest. Was out doing stuff today and it tires me a bit..
c.u. later.

Stringy... you just send me some of those perty things in the background of your pic, and I'll whip something up for you and Marta. I'm pretty sure that pic wasn't taken in the concrete jungle of Chicago land though... LOL!

That Pic was in Hawaii Starby if my memory serves me correctly :)

Yep, Maui.

starbuck8 · Nov 5, 2008, 03:28 PM

That is what I thought. Can you fly back to Maui and send me back some of those flowers and leaves please? LOL! My fave thing to do here is to drive into the country... especially in the fall, and see what I can find. I'll steal wheat and stuff from farmers fields too... shhhhhhhhttttt!

Stringer · Nov 5, 2008, 04:33 PM

The duck has JUST ADMITTED TO ANOTHER CRIME. See we let our hearts lead the way...and what happens? Some are just born to cri...

See you all later, on my way to my grandson's birthday party (Nathan).

That's a confession if I've ever heard one :D

starbuck8 · Nov 5, 2008, 04:42 PM

Did I say steal? I didn't mean steal... I really meant borrow! Yes, borrow... that's what I really meant. I'm helping the farmers. They can't always get to every stalk, and then they have to burn the field for summerfollow, so I am in fact helping and saving them money! It's a good deed!. really it is! :p

Unknown008 · Nov 6, 2008, 01:12 AM

LOL Starby! What can I do if you say things like that without noticing?? :p Oh, yes, more work for me, and more ducky treats!

Chery, glad that you're part of the ones who fought hard and were rewarded. My grandpa on the other hand is still 'half paralysed' and well, he started vomiting some blood a week ago. Don't know how much more time he will do, but I feel like its coming. In fact, I'm not so close to my grandpa, because of some past things that affected my whole family. However, he's still part of my family, and I do love him a bit.

Well, me too back to the castle! ;)

starbuck8 · Nov 6, 2008, 01:18 AM

Careful in the Castle Unky! I was schmoozing the Sheriff to make him forget about the borrowing of the wheat! LOL!
