really making Mike a chain. Some of the ornaments made of hair are

simply amazing. How's the quilting? Betsy

Mike bought me a studio for my quilting machine, sewing machine and

paintings so I will have lots of room to create.. We have been busy

paitning walls, tearing out walls , carpet etc. And are almost ready

to move my stuff in. I cant wait.

And yes, I am making Mike a chain. I have the book the bobbins and

the hair....now comes the patience! lol

Cant wait to see you,

Hey Jo,

Its sonething in the name that predestins them to being

a " joker',trouble maker, & all around fun person.

If you are in a store, and the mother looks frazzled beyond belief

and that adorable little boy by her side looks like an angel with a

devilish smile.....you can bet his name is Mike...

Its just the way it is....

but you gotta love them...

Sharon in Onyx

who when the first time she saw her Mike....thought to herself- there

is walking trouble if I ever saw it....and fell head over heal in

love....and the beat still goes on after 17 years...he is still

walking trouble, that I cant resist!

Patience, my dear man, patience....its taken me almost 3 years to

start it. Each strand uses 80 hairs and it takes 16 strands to make

the chain, I am not sure how many of these to make one long enough to

go around the neck....

well you get the picture.

Unfortunately I do have enough hair tho-....lol

sigh...

The only good the chains you can get at hardware store are the ones

to chain up those horrid monkeys of yours!!!

Kristy, I'm so glad you're moving to the states! Maybe I can see you

in person now more often that once in three years. (Oh wait, that's

the ONLY time I've seen you in person!) LOL! I've heard it gets

pretty humid in Texas but I think you get that in OZ too right? In

any case, it'll be cool to have you a little closer!

Ahhh, Sharon! A studio devoted to your crafts! I'm soooo jealous!

I spent a little Christmas money today on some scrapbooking supplies

and there were some storage type items in there I would have loved to

have gotten but I just simply don't have a place to put them! Your

hubby deserves a big smooch! I'd love to see the chain when you get

it finished!

Love you!

[Guest guest]

Hello, Sorry I know i probably should be starting a new post here but I was

just wondering how I could get a copy of the brochure mentioned in an earlier

e-mail. I've experienced the same problems as many others in that people seem

to be astounded at how well i look at times. My usual response is that I'd

be on top of the moon if I felt how I looked! Anyway.....I'd really like to

have a look at the brochure. Is it downloadable or do I have to send off

somewhere? Thanks for your help! Kate

[Guest guest]

Oh, Sharon, how I agree with you! Over the years, the phrase " But you don't

look sick " has been stricken from my vocabulary. I am not a vain person, but I

do try to put on my makeup and look presentable when I go out, I guess people

think you should look like you just rolled out of bed when you tell them you

have Still's. I think a large part of that is they don't understand the

disease. For instance, if I were to tell someone I had diabetes, they would

never say that. Even though it is a life threatening illness. I think it's

just that they are more familiar with things like that than Still's. Sometimes,

when I try to explain to someone what it is, they get this look on their face

and say things like, Oh I thought Arthritis was for old people. It's a very

personal thing for me, and sometimes, I don't even try to explain.

Please don't feel bad if you need therapy, either. We all have at one time or

another. Your frustration and anger is understandable. Some of what you're

feeling could be the meds (not sure what you're on). I blow up at my hubby

sometimes, too, and it bothers him some, but I always try to talk to him about

it afterward, apologize and move on. You are blessed with an understanding mate

and that will help you tremendously.

One of my girlfriends used to say, " Grow your toenails long and hang in there,

girl! "

Better days for you,

Gail

am gonna scream!!!! My normal temp is 96. I do not look good! I look

like crapp. I wish people would stop comparing me to others and just

listen and keep an open mind. My boyfriend always understands , and I

always seem to take it out on him. Oh I guess I will look harder for a

therapist- but they will have to tell the therapist ahead of time not

to say how good I look or they better just restrain me lol!!!!!!!

Penny and Medicare

Penny, I treated a year ago with medicare as my insurance. Yes, there is a high co-pay. I think mine was 87 for the ribaviron and more than that for the shots. It's a disgrace, I think, but we have no choice and it's far better than having to pay the full amount. I cleared, so it was worth it to me. A year ago last August and still clear.

Good luck what ever you choose. I used a credit card for the copay and took time to pay it off.
