opps - that was my cat - but if you take the time to get fixed up- then you

get those kind of comments! I get it all the time - I have a long pony tail

and people think I am much younger than I am- red hair & freckles - I have

decided to do what makes ME feel better/OK - what bad things other people think

or

THEM.

Sorry for the 'tude, but that is just the facts, ma'm

Do you believe it! If you go out looking like you feel, everyone looks at

[Guest guest]

Hi Judi,...It is good to hear from you, I am feeling much better. It

seems the Ultracet, is working better for me then the Darvocet. I

have less pain. The Wellbutrin seems to be helping my depression,

much better then the Prozac, I think I was on it too long.

I know what you mean,I start feeling sorry for myself, and then I see

others in worse conditions. I was telling my daughter the other day,

at least I have all my limbs they might not work, but I'm still here.

There is a young man 28, who has had multiple brain tumors since he

was 17, and he still continues to fight, and goes through chemo. I

was listening to the radio one morning, and they were having patients

from St Judes talk about how wonderful the hospital is. They fly him

all the time to the hospital for treatments, that is so wonderful, it

touched my heart.

As for the man with that horrible comment, I don't think I could have

bit my tongue, I am so sorry that you had to go throught that. Some

people are so ignorant, and have to be overlooked.

You take care my dear friend, may you have a blessed day, luv Tawny

Althea,I am glad that your feeling a little better, you do have a lot

of people thinking about you, and keeping you in their prayers. It

is cold here also, and windy, but sunny. I will be so glad for warm

weather, and maybe we will all get some relief.

I'm not sure what to think about this sac full of fluid either. I am

going to try heat packs, maybe that will help some. If it gets any

worse, I will call my doctor, thanks so much for your kind words, and

prayers, Tawny

Hi Boo,....It's so wonderful to hear from you, I miss seeing you

post. Thanks so much for your support, and kindness it helps so

much. When I first started the meds last week, they seemed to be

doing great, and then yesterday, I had to take Darvocet with the

Ultracet. I'm not sure if I'm in a flare or not. It seems like I'm

basically like this all the time. Can one be in a flare all the

time? I wish that I could get some relief. Everytime I boast about

feeling better, I think I bring myself bad luck,lol

Boo, I am so sorry that your going through personal problems, if you

need me, I'm here remember that. I just worry about you, and I don't

like to see you sad, take care Tawny((((((bighugs))))))

TAWNY,

I HAD A REALLY BAD DAY, YESTERDAY. I COULD HARDLY MOVE AND WAS IN A

FIBRO-FOG ALL DAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WEATHER. TODAY WAS BETTER. MY MOM HAD

A BAD

REPORT AT HER CANCER DOCTOR'S TODAY.

SEEMS THE CANCER IS NOT RESPONDING THE TREATMENT AND HAS SPREAD. I AM

SLEEPLESS TONIGHT.

[Guest guest]

Thanks. I teach in OKC and the stress is nearly killing me. I had a student

slam me up agaist the wall and really hurt me last week. The principal has

decided that there was not enough evidencxe even though I had a bruise on my

elbow and my back was wrenched. I had him come down instantly and he could see

I was almost throwing up. He wanted me to go home! Now he says not enough

evidence.

Oh, Well!!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear ,....I am so very sorry to hear that your having such a

terrible time, I wish there was something I could do. I am here for

you, so always know that. I too get that fibro fog. I did good last

Wednesday locked my keys in the car, and then Monday locked the keys

in the house,(sigh)

I will keep you, and your mom in my prayers, I am so sorry to hear

the treatment isn't helping. ((((((hugs))))))

Oh my goodness, that is terrible. I am so sorry that you have to be

treated like that, and the principal does nothing. That really

irritates me, and thats why the troubled students do that, they know

they can get away with it. I live in OKC, we bought a house here

recently. I'm two blocks from Hawthorne Elementary, but my daughter

is finishing out in the Putnam city, since that is where she

started. They need more respect for our teachers,......

I hope that you start feeling better, if you want please write me

privately, hugs Tawny

Tawney & Althea -

I have two poodles (cats with perms) and 2 Feral cat teenagers I have hand

feed since they were abandoned at 2 weeks old. They too seem to know where I

hurt, and usually try to lay on that body part. I just got a vibrating/heating

seat cushion for my chair. It is wonderful for helping me wake up or relax

painful back or hip joints. My baby cat/ Blackie / has been fighting me for it.

She rolls on her back and stretches on the heated cushion and then promptly

falls asleep. Animals are such a wonderful gift from God. I really enjoy

watching their antics.

Gentle Hugs,

Carol M. in CA

That's funny! My dogs do the same! The little one weighs 2 lbs, the next one 3

lbs. and the big one is 7 lbs. She usually sleeps on my pillow against my head.

The little one looks a little like a cat and kind of stretches like a cat. I

wonder sometimes if she is like cat/dog! They are so sweet and loving. I think

they really sense when I hurt because they usually lick my right knee or my

hands. That is where I have the most pain.

I am so sorry you fell - I hope you are feeling better today. I hope

your bruises go away faster then mine. I get a bruise and it stays

long enough that I forget where I got it.

One time I was having my annual breast exam by the military doctor.

The doctor told me after the exam to get dressed but he needed to

talk to me. He sent the witness to the exam out and then told me he

had to ask...

" Does your husband beat you? " I was dumbfounded...Said " NO WAY " ...

He said well you have bruises all over your chest. I hadn't even

noticed...don't look in mirrors much...

I told him the truth that I bruise very easily and maybe one of my

cats had slept on my chest...lol

God bless,

Althea

[Guest guest]

Hi Freda,....It's so nice to hear from you, haven't heard from you in

awhile. I hope that you are feeling OK. I enjoyed chatting with

you, and would love to chat again sometime.

It was 62 degrees here today, and sunny. It was so beautiful, how I

wish that I could really enjoy it. It's lovely anyway, just the

warmth of the sunshine is so great on these rusty bones. You take

care, and hope to hear from you soon,Tawny

My dogs do the same thing too! Only my dogs are 45 and 55 lbs. They takeup most

of the bed and steal my covers and pillows from me! Can't live with them, can't

live without 'em.

Hey, I have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit and she keeps me sane and gives

comfort.

She can even help me fall asleep when troubles say not. I let her snuggle up

near my ear and the rythym of her breathing and her warmth are soothing.

Crazy, huh!

[Guest guest]

She is one of the best pets I have ever had. She is making me type with one

hand right now. She always seems to know when I need her. She will lick my

hand when I feel bad. Her name is Rocky. My students named her. We were

studying rocks two years ago when our school counselor gave her to me. He and

his

daughter raise them and he knew I was having a real tough time. He said

rabbits are better than tranq.s for depression. He was right. My daughter has

a

mini-rex.

[Guest guest]

Hi , those are so adorable, and wonderful to snuggle up to. What

a wonderful pet, and I know it keeps you company, hugs Tawny

Hey Becky,....Pets are such wonderful precious sweethearts. I have

two dogs, they are too big to sleep with. So they sleep in their

beds, on each side of the bed. They wish they could sleep in the bed

with me, but there wouldn't be know room for me,lol Tawny

They make sweet pets. Very communicative and affectionate. I had a rabbit

dealer try to tell me they didn't. He never met my Rocky! I take her to

school on occasion to visit my students. They are calmer on her visiting days.

I

just wears her out so we only do it for reward type days. She has so much fun

running around the classroom all day and snatching papers and getting

tooooooo much attention!

I met some people from Tulsa who use their rabbits to visit terminally ill

children in the hospital in Tulsa. I wish I could retire from teaching and do

that.

[Guest guest]

Hi , I bet she is adorable. We had a neighbour that had a dwarf rabbit and

one day she brought it down to show (our do). followed the rabbit all

around the yard, cuddled it, laid down beside it. When my neighbour left with

the rabbit, was so upset, she kept going to the gate and crying. After two

or three times of this, I had to tell her to please not bring it back since it

was upsetting so much. Our neighbour at the back also has a dwarf rabbit

and when it is outside she lays beside the fence and lays on the other

side of the fence and Lily(rabbit) and they rub noses through the chainlink

fence.

Hugs

Hey, I have to go and see my RA on Monday the 8th. I have my

Remicade injection on that day too. Maybe if I get out early enough

I can give you a call and we can meet for some lunch.

My doctors office is on NW44th. The orthopedic and reconstruction

building. I am not too good about places in the city or directions

but if you can tell me how to go I can follow directions.

I am so sorry about the puppy problems. Is the angel okay? Or at

least reparable.

I have had so many things broken over the years by hubby, dogs, cats,

son...that I try not to get attached to them...lol

On a different note:

Mickey is in for his surgery today. I am going to be on pins and

needles all day till I hear he is through and okay.

I can't believe it but Jay and I were finally getting financially

okay and Mickey's vet bills have put us in the red again. I had

actually put some money away each month since Christmas and that will

be all gone after I pay the vet bill.

Does Satan look in our savings account and figure out just what he

can do to make life difficult as can be for us.

Oh well, I am better off then a lot...

God bless,

Althea

[Guest guest]

Althea:

I agree with you one hundred percent. We have to keep one step ahead.....

This last year was one of the worst I have ever had both finacially and

healthwise.

Thank goodness, my faith never waivered and I think finally like Job, I may see

an end to it all soon.

I'm sorry you and Tawny have had it so rough lately. Will keep you both in my

positive thoughts and prayers.

Take care and reserve some TLC for yourself.
