Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Piper, I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I've noticed the same thing and so have others. I think the site is just busy and some of the emails it tries to send never get out. Coyote Hi, Coyote! Thanks for sharing the pictures of your dad. He's a cutie! I seem to be missing quite a few of the posts. I wrote a post to you yesterday, but it never came through on my group e-mail. Did it come through to you? I will have to figure out what I am doing wrong. Hugs, Piper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Beth, I'm so sorry your brother is gone. I think God coulda picked out a useless, nasty brother instead of a wonderful one. Where's the justice?? As for things piling up...funny you should say that...on the weekend, I took my daughter to get her hair cut. Afterwards we went to the hardware store to buy some birdseed and my daughter walked around the store. She came up to me with a fridge magnet and said " Mom, you just gotta have this! " On it was a picture of a mama coyote looking worn and tired with 3 coyote puppies (cubs, kits whatever) climbing friskily all over her. At the top it said " things just keep piling up " . Its up on my fridge now and every time I see it it brings me some kind of joy. -Coyote > Coyote, > I was going to say I'm sorry that I cannot understand what you are > going through with your brother, but, I am not sorry.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Dear Abby: I am so sorry about the sudden passing of your cousin's husband. This is a very difficult situation.
