MM. Sometimes it just makes you too tired to even start talking about it all. I do get tired just thinking about starting to talk about it all.

I know when I can get past feeling so shitty, when that will be I have not a clue, I will start babbling.

If you show up and surprize me, that would be a great deal for me, now wouldn't it? I could see you again.

I would love to do more than put my foot up his ass right now. He should be worried when I stop talking and get quiet.

By the way. I have a picture of Randy SMILING, I will send it to you.

Thanks for the love and concern. It means a lot to me. I am sure I will break loose eventually.

Love ya, Normi

HI MM. My Bears? Did you mention my bears?

Well, they would be beside themselves. Who would give them cookies, ice cream, pizza, etc...?

Well, I may have to put into my trust that my little darlings come see you then? :-)

I can divide them up amongst a few of you, right?

They are spoiled, but not demanding, so you would love them as much as me, right? LOL...

I may be strong and have a heart, but it is all very tired. I am trying to give myself pep talks and do some things that make me feel a little better.

I am so not there yet though. Trying .

Glad you have faith in me, I may need to get like a library card to check some of that out and borrow some.

Love ya, Normi

Hi Donna. I bet your son is jumping through hoops after getting that phone call.

Heartache and rejection is very tough to deal with, no doubt about it.

Hopefully they will find their way back to each other. Sounds like they are smothered in stressful issues.

Love, Normi

Hi Normi,

Well, my son's girlfriend called him this morning and he is feeling better. They are going to talk again in a week, so he at least has hope for now. I was so worried about him, because one evening last week he told me he just didn't think he could live through another loss. I gently tried to remind him that he has a family of siblings and parents that love him so much and what happens to him happens to all of us to some degree. All he has ever wanted since he was 20 was to be married and have a family. I shouldn't say that's all he wanted, but it was high up there on his priorities. Now, he is almost 27, lots of college debt and several classes away from a degree. He's lost his love and the little boy he thought he would be getting to raise. I know he is in pain, but I also know in time, he will get better. And I really believe they will get back together. Thank you for your concern.

Well, I know you really don't feel like opening up and talking yet, but we are all here for you if and when you need to talk. Take care, Normi.

HI Donna. I am sure I will boil over at some point. When is the infinite question.

Yeah, I am getting to where I cannot remember a time not feeling alone in this relationship.

I did not know your dog was taking a dump when tagged him. That is not fair. I mean had the dog known it was going to have something tossed at it, it may have delayed taking a poop or took one somewhere else. :-)

Yeah, I cannot picture you chucking a cowpie at . I know you would NEVER do something like that! lol.

I still refuse to relinquish my potty. hehehehehe....

Love, Normi

Re: Normi

Normi,

You boil over anytime!! I really could sense that you would probably be leaving soon. I know you have felt very alone for a long time.

I do wish you had been able to really let know how you were feeling. He seems to be the one that has helped you more than your docs have. Is he able to treat for depression?

And yes, I did tease about hitting my dog while he was going poop. She had catapulted a skunk at me for teasing her about her legs and I think I remember throwing a cowpattie at her...but that just doesn't sound like me, does it?? I am usually more quiet and shy than !!!! LOL

Well, take care and stay off that potty!! Let someone else have the throne once in a while!! Love, Donna

Normi

Hi Normi,

How are you doing today? I read in your email to MM, you are really struggling with things. Was able to give you anything to help with depression?

I am so sorry you are having a difficult time. I wished there was something we could do. How are things with since you have gotten home? Have you heard from your daddy?

My 26 year old is going through such a tough time. His almost fiance' broke up with him a week ago. This is his second really serious failed relationship and he is hurting so bad. This girl was truly the love of his life and she had a 3 year old that he treated like a son. He just tells me he doesn't know if he can make it through another 2 years of pain like he had before. I am praying for him and I try to be there when he needs to talk, which is often, but dang it, I just want to take some of that pain away and I can't. Hopefully, it will get better.

Is it snowing there? Oops, I said that "S" word again. I hope isn't reading this. She will catapult another skunk at me. I think you must have been in CA when and I were throwing things at each other, but she got really MEAN!! LOL She threw a skunk all the way to Texas to hit me!!!

Just kidding, .... remember you are quiet and shy. 's probably not even reading this, is she??

Well, my daughter needs the puter so I have to go.

Hi Mukund,

This is really interesting! My lawyer husband will enjoy reading about this procedure. It's tough to have health problems anywhere but it's even tougher to have to worry about infection wherever you turn.

Best of luck with your legal career and, of course, with your health!

Hi Normi,

In India we need not write any separate exam for enrolling in the Bar as in the US. The only procedure that has to be followed is that I have to publish an advertisement in a newspaper in two newspapers one in English and the other in my native language calling for objections. Any person who thinks that I'm unfit for being enrolled as an Advocate may submit their objections to the Bar Council within two weeks of the publication of the advertisement. The Bar Council will then hear both sides and decide. In practice though this is just a formality and no one usually objects. So as a first step I've got the advertisements published last Friday. After mandatory period of two weeks is over I'll submit a formal application to the Bar Council for enrolment. On the appointed day, my enrolment must be moved by an Advocate having a minimum of 10 years' standing in the Bar.

As for getting a stent in my body its nothing new to me as I've been on Haemodialysis for quite sometime. The only thing that worries me is that I have to be very careful about infections and India, I must say, isn't the cleanliest place on earth Its infections galore here, everywhere. Of course I don't have much of a choice do I unless I choose to shift to some other country.

Thank you Mukund......:-)

I am glad you had faith in me, I was not too sure there. Hopeful, but not sure.

I should be starting next week. I passed the criminal background check, the MVR check, references, and I had to get a drug screening this afternoon after my doc appointment. I am not worried there, I am not doing any illicite drugs, and I do not drink alcohol at all ever.

Soon as the drug screening comes back clean, usually takes 24 to 48 hours, I wil be clear.

How are you? Hope all is going ok with you.

Maybe we will catch up on Im again soon. I was going to log on tonight, bu I wanted to catch up on some emails, and I am tired tonight. I think or hope I may actually just fade away and sleep tonight.

Love, Normi

Normi

Congratulations, Normi!!

Thank goodness Normi I was beginning to worry for your safety !!!!!!

: -) Carlasue

[Guest guest]

Hi, Normi. I got out of my GI appointment; the doc's office called

and he had an " emergency " and they wanted to move up my appt. No can

do-I'm an hour and a half away, so it was way too much of a problem

to change times.

I told them I'd call if my symptoms came back.

I got out all my herbal remedy/natural/holostic books today and

looked up some of the problems I've been having as side affects of

lupus. Did some online study, too. I then made a trip to the local

health food store and bought flax meal for inflammation and digestive

regularity, white willow bark also for inflammation and for pain

relief (aspirin based on willow, but the actual bark doesn't hurt the

tummy supposedly), and a liver function supplement. Online I ordered

wintergreen to rub on my plantar fascitis and something else, I

forget what right now (I hope it was for memory LOL). I imagine my

docs will try to talk me out of this approach, but from experience I

know how well herbal and natural remedies can work. I got a lot more

out of treating my depression with aromatherapy and relaxing herbs

WITHOUT side affects than I did any of their synthetic anti-

depressants. I am also hard-headed and like things my own way LOL.

Last week I ordered herbal hot/cold neck and eye packs and they came

in the mail today; the eye pack is lavendar and boy, I will use it

even when I DON'T have a headache. The neck pack has many herbs in

it and they can both be used hot or cold.

As for the cat stuff, I have a little of everything-knick-knacks,

pillowcases my sister hand embroidered for me, jewelry, pictures, a

lovely cross stitch my Mother made for me, shirts, nighties, dishes,

christmas cats, a pair of cast iron cats that were end pieces of a

wood storage for fireplaces (antique), fridgies, I could go on and

on. What's ironic is that I also have birdhouses spread out all over

the house mixed in with the cats. Kinda weird, I guess, but I like

them both. No live birds in the birdhouses, but I have a few live

cats LOL so I guess it's alright.

My birthdate is July 3, 1976. Just missed it by a few hours of being

a bicentennial firecracker baby. My sister was born two years later

on July 4th. We always have a lot of fun on our birthdays; I can't

remember having birthday cake without firecrackers LOL. One year we

had an orange meat watermelon with candles in it instead of cake.

It's a special thing with us, and we always get each other patriotic

gifts.

Keep up the poetry; you make me laugh so much! If you do yahoo

messenger, add me on sometime. I IM at home when I get online.

m_w_p1996 is my id (I think).

Love,

Maggie

Romie.That is what I would be hoping for as well. That your children will have the same happiness that you know with Andy. Kids are so intuitive and they are like little sponges walking around, they will surely see the interactions between you and Andy.

Kids do not just see the negative stuff, they also see all the postitives as well.

You and Andy are good role models for marriage then.

Love, Normi
