Sending good well wishes your way too!

Eileen - Sent my thoughts and prayers your way. It was cold here again this morning, however it turned out to be a beautiful day. We did a little riding, then took a nap! lol We just got back from dinner at a Mexican place, it was good, and yes I did go overboard! I pretty much stay OP, and I am walking for exercise, at least five days a week. My computer has been down almost all weekend. DH is calling me gotta run! My movie is on! lol Have a good one!

Vines, I did exactly the same thing until they filled me to 3cc. I was actually miserable at that fill and had some removed to 2.8cc and it is good now. Everytime before this I got a fill and it lasted about 1 week. Hang in there, you will find your spot soon!

My computer went down last night, and just got back up a few minutes ago. It is so slow I can't hardley stand to sit here! And, I have comcast so I know there is still a problem! At least it let me on for a few, I was having withdrawals bad! It was cold (52) and rainy here all morning, now the sun it out and it is starting to warm up some. Ira - Congrats! Do something special for yourself! Cindy - Have fun at the fair. It should be a nice day for going with the cool weather. Pictures would be nice! Bene - You can send that DH of yours my way if he cooks, mine don't do anything except sit back and eat what I cook! I have a lot of fall clean up to do, but probably won't do any of it. Eileen - Do y'all carve your pumpkins? I remember going to the patch with my kids a long time ago. They had a hay ride out to the patch, then we spent a few hours looking for the "special" one! We will probably take advantage of the cool weather to get some Harley riding in. One night (tonight or tomorrow) we are going out to eat, I have that gift certificate from my b-day to use. Well, I'll try to check later if this computer will let me!

Miss Inspiration herself! Michelle you have always benn and inspiration to me and always will be! Congrats to you!

From one Texan to another, welcome to LBT!

I'll look forward to meeting y'all! I can't wait!

Call me! I am just 10 miles from there! I would love to meet you! I'll pm you my phone number!

Now, I thought I was the only one that bought groceries like that! My family laughs at me and tells me they are going to come shopping at my house. I have this thing about buying all this stuff. I also cook like I was feeding an army! I went to buy groceries, and on the way I passed a Nail Inc. I couldn't stop myself from pulling in, I have been wanted to try a pedicure for quite some time. Oh my, how good it felt! I never realized they massage you too! They did my legs clear to my knees, and my feet, oh my I was in heaven. I also was hooked. She ask me if I wanted a manicure and I said no, but after that pedicure, I told her to go ahead and do the manicure. Well, the last time I had a manicure it was just that, fingers filed, painted, soaked etc. Well, now I find out they massage your arms, shoulders, hands too! I am hooked now! Goodbye groceries, hello Nails Inc. Rene we all do stupid things like that! Don't worry about it, heck if they are so uptight about a mistake like that, you don't want to work for them anyway! Loved the joke by the way!

You both look beautiful, and your son is a hottie Penni!

We called them "Mickey Mouse Mattresses"!

I can't tell you what your doctor will say, each has their own set of rules. You might want to call and ask so you know what to buy. I will tell you to buy half of what you think you will need. I bought way too much! It's going to be hot again today, but a cold front is moving in tonight so tomorrow will be 70. So y'all, where in Texas are you? I am in Grand Prairie. Maybe we could all meet up somewhere. Have a good one!

I am sorry about your port, but as Lisa said your band is the most important. Please be very careful about getting a fill w/o a port. Good luck!

I took the tax break last year, and it made a huge difference in our taxes. There is an article on here about it too.

My son was very small for his age, runs in the family, but then they all end up tall. In fact today he is 6 foot tall and I look up to him. He used to get really upset that he was the smallest kid on his sports teams. He also had many friends older than him in the neighborhood, which allowed him to play sports with them. My son taught himself how to read at age 4. He started kindergarten and his teacher was amazed at how he could spell large words. He also excelled at Math. At the conferences she told me that he would be hard to raise if I didn't stay one step ahead of him all the time. Boy was she right! This was a very wise teacher, she actually sent him up to first and second grades to read to the classes. Once he got into second and third grades they sent him back down to first etc. to read to those classes and help some of the kids that was having trouble with their work. He did plays for these kids and even the teachers loved it. My son loved doing this, and it took all the boredom out of his daily routine. I must say that before they started doing this he was bored to death. A couple of teachers wanted to move him up a grade or two, and I refused to let them do it. I had to think ahead to the times that these older kids would be driving cars, dating, drinking, etc. Just a year at that age makes a huge difference. It would have made a big difference in sports too, as they kids that were a year or two older would be much larger and he was already so small. Sports was a big part of his life, he played basketball, baseball, hockey, and football. I can honestly say that it was the best thing for us to keep him with the kids his age. I don't regret for one minute doing that. When he was in 7th grade, he actually had high school girls calling him! I can't imagine how it would have been if he had been moved up to a higher grade. I think each parent has to make the decision what is best for their child. There is no set of rules that can apply to all the children. I do think it is an important decision to make and should be thought through carefully. Good luck Alex!

Sending now! We'll see you in bandland!

I meant buy all the items you need so you won't have to do it when you get home. Things like broth, Jello, juice, popcicles etc.

Good luck! I would definately see if I couldn't get it covered with insurance first!
