Lauri as a retired cop(traffic officer) I can tell you from personal experience that that fast driving thing is a female trait LOL. Watch cops./.. the only ones who ever get away from the helicopters are the females .

Prayers and best wishes to you and your family. We here a proud to have you as a friend. Keep us posted.

Geez I'm probaly in trouble now with all me female friends(or former friends ) here.

Thank you all for your support. I don't know what I would have done without you. When I can't talk to any one else-you are here. When I sent the email the other day, I was crying so hard I couldn't even speak. I was all alone here at the house and needed to be with someone. You were the first ones that came to my mind. I hope you know how important each of you are to me. I appreciate the way that you have taken this newbie in.

Grandad is doing AWESOME. He went home yesterday and feels fine. ;-)

Wow! Already home and feeling fine! That is such good news, Lauri! Hope he recovers 100%.

I can vouch for that. Since February, I've gotten 3 warnings (two on the same night) and 1 speeding ticket.

Just one more reason why they call you "Lethal Woman"! :eek:

Lethal Woman-Where in the heck were you going in such a hurry? Hot date?

I can't believe that my mom hasn't ever gotton a ticket! She told me that the police escort was going to slow for her and so she actually motioned for him to move over and past him right up!!! I don't blame her. My grandad is the sweetest, most giving, Christian man I know. The thought of losing him is more than I can bare. I can't imagine what it must be like for my mom. I am just so thankful to God that he is ok.

Well, the night I got TWO (count em) 2 warnings, I was actually having a gallbladder attack and had made the mistake of driving 3 hrs to my mother's house. I was trying to make my way back home in rather severe abdominal pain (no lie), so yes, my foot was a bit heavy. I contemplated going to the ER but I waited til the following morning. That's a good excuse for that particular time.. but, I will have to say it's not the ONLY time I ever speeded. lol So, when the guy actually wrote me a ticket on the THIRD occasion, I had no qualms about it. I deserved it much more than that once. lol.

(sorry about the hijack of this thread. )

No problem about the "hijacking" I just consider it a kind diversion. It's always nice to be able to laugh when you are having a hard time. :pirate Grandad was on the beach fishing the last time, I talked to Granny! They always spend a couple of months at Padre Island this time of year..They are so full of fun! I hope that I can be that way when I get their age. I hope they both live to be healthy hundreds! They worked hard and did without all their lives and are now enjoying their retirement. I wish I could now:slots and shows in Las Vegas and Laughlin, Horse races in Ruidoso, Hunting and Camping in Colorado, Fishing in Padre, Carnival Cruises!!!
